How to choose a 5K monitor on Black Friday
One solution to knowing how to choose a 5K monitor is to simply head over to our best 5K monitors roundup and go from there. If you’re not sure though, have a strong think about if you truly need a 5K monitor. A high resolution is great, but 5K is only really needed for precise image quality, such as if you’re editing photos or videos.
Once you’ve figured that out, think about what size you need. Are you kitting out your home office and want to go big? Go for it. Aim for as big as you can afford. However, if you just want a small sleek setup, such as in your dorm room if you’re a graphics student, then go smaller. You want something that fits well into your setup after all. As a side note, think about how you’ll connect your monitor to your PC too.
