How to Understand the Alphabet Soup of Video Monitors

We love new tech - so does everyone - and it seems like some of the hottest new tech available on the market is monitor and television display tech. If you have gone to buy a new monitor or a new TV recently, though, you surely have run into what Shelly calls the alphabet soup of video monitors. There is a reason some 65-inch televisions are $400, and a reason other 65-inch televisions are $4,000. We are here to offer some advice on your next display, whether you are looking for a new TV, a new work display, or a new badass gaming monitor. We explain when 2K (sometimes called full HD) is okay when you will want to spring for 4K, and if you will ever need 8K. We talk about HDR (high dynamic range), WCG (wide color gamut), and the use cases for which you will want to pay special attention to these attributes.
