Consider the following: Do you plan on adding a second monitor to the mix? Are you going to use an integrated graphics card or a dedicated one? What input slots does your card have? Does the monitor come with the cables included or do you have to buy them separately? Will you need an adapter? from DVI to VGA, from HDMI to microHDMI, etc. Answer these questions, before you buy anything. 4. Calibrate your monitor calibrate Calibrating is the last step in this list, but not because it’s the least important.
