I was at Costco today. They have an LG 27" monitor, normally $169 on sale for $129. Their lowest priced desktop was an HP with an i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive for $399. Their wireless keyboard/mouse combo was overkill... and $57... hard pass on that.

Is this a decent monitor? It's on sale at Costco for $129, normally $169. My desk can't handle a monitor any larger than this.

I have 4 of these and they work very well. If you are doing photography editing etc may not be the best. I have a Samsung monitor for that.

I just saw this one at Best Buy. It's 4k and $100 more, but I'm now leaning towards it.

It's pretty much the same specs as my 32" LG; I'm happy with it. I run Nvidia Quadro graphics with big CAD files.

Are you going to use 4K?

I'd put that extra hundred in a PC.
