I would like a new computer monitor to use primarily for watching occasional films via a laptop. Don't have a TV and have no desire to get one, so I'd like to stick to a pure computer monitor rather than a TV. Looking at sizes around 32", there seems to be a huge range in cost. Generally 1080p can be had for £3-400 which suits my budget, but there's a lot of models with 1440 or 2160 resolution for ~ twice the price.
Given that I don't watch stuff very often, is it worth the much higher cost to get better resolution? I'd go and look at some options, but not many shops stock this size monitor.
It feels like for use as a computer screen, I'd want the higher resolution (1080p on a 24" monitor is about right, so going up to 32" would want higher pixel density), but I suspect for watching films, the difference might not be so noticeable. Is that about right?
Cheers,
