How to Build a Computer from Scratch for Beginners - 5 Minute Guide - Cases
Hi, Welcome back to “how to build a computer from scratch for beginners” the five-minute guide. If you’re expecting a joke about the name it is

Today’s video is about Monitors, yes this does need a video. Have you looked at the monitor market? It’s crazy how many LED, LCD, OLED, ISP, Ultra-Wide, Big screen and everything in-between there is. So, we’ll cover some quick stuff about them.

As I said, there are a BUNCH of terms and screen sizes so I’ll try and cover what I can in less than 5 minutes.
First we are going to talk about Types. We have LCD, LED, and OLED.
LCD is probably the oldest and uses the most energy because they use florescent to light.
LED is more energy efficient and about the same price as LCD, maybe a little more expensive.
Then there is OLED, most expensive but more common for professionals that deal with lots of details.
Now we’ll talk about acronyms/features that you might see.
TN - Twisted-nematic (TN) panels are normally the highest refresh rate, great for gamers.
IPS - in-plane switching (IPS) panels are for viewing at different angles, professionals or business users.
G-sync – Nvidia technology that helps with screen tearing on the monitor side.
FreeSync – Open-Source technology that also helps with screen tearing (and companies don’t have to pay rights to use, so monitors with this are usually cheaper than G-Sync).
Connections would be the last thing.
VGA – Oldest style with blue plug and can handle up to 1080p in some cases.
DVI – Second oldest on this list that is still out there, and it too can handle 1080p.
HDMI – First step into “HD” or High Definition and can handle up to 4k in most cases as well as audio.
Displayport – Newer on the scene but can handle over 8k and do audio as well AND G-Sync and FreeSync.

Now onto the Breakdown:
Now I’m going to link some suggested some monitors down in the description.
For more users, a 24” screen is large enough to see what you need to see without taking too much room. This size also is great because it fits into the 1080p resolution, which is great for gaming.
If you know you are going to have monitors sitting at different angles then you might want to look for IPS, it’s also good for games that aren’t fast paced like First Person Shooters.
Other than that, go with one that has a good refresh rate (that’s the “Hz”, like 144Hz or 240Hz) as well as latency (they will be in “ms” like 5ms or 1ms).
