So, I've finally splurged and built myself a gaming/music making rig. It needs a monitor so I can sperg about fps losses and texture quality with the best of them. My colleague has recommended BenQ as a brand to me, but I have zero experience with them, so feel free to chime in your brand loyalty. Here are my requirements and preferences.

:siren:

Requirements :siren:

At least 16:9 aspect ratio.
At least 1080p native resolution.
At least 60 Hz refresh rate.
At least 23" or ~58 cm screen size.
At least one DisplayPort port.
At least one HDMI (ugh) port.

Preferences :dance:

4K resolution or higher.
Multiple high bandwidth inputs. E.g. DisplayPort, HDMI, USB type C.
(O)LED for lower power consumption and operating temperature. I'm open to arguments against this one.
High color accuracy. I can use some education on this.
Reasonably lightweight as I'm in the process of moving, so my room may be rearranged many times.
Long lasting and high resale value.

Now I turn to you, O knowledgeable and wise consumer goons, for your sage advice in these important matters.

have a blessed day

Oled monitors do not exist for consumer use.

Also dont expect high resale value on any pc component.

Okay, fair enough. That's why I listed them as preferences.

edit: oh, no HDMI port. Still a really nice monitor though.
