Why a screen protector? It's gorilla glass.

Because it's more fun to have a smudgy screen that you'll never quite get on perfectly.

Exactly.

No, I dunno. Peace of mind?

 

[kevo_55]

I never had one and I never had any problems. 

Then again, I don't throw my phones around (or drop them) either.

Where are my TechArmor screen protectors?! Grrr DHL!

@knight1fox3 any recommendations for large screen computer monitors that won't entirely break the bank?  The intention is mostly for engineering work not gaming but no real preference.

I'm generally a fan of ASUS, Samsung, and NEC panels (no particular order). That said, and not sure how large you are looking for and what your budget is, but typically the Cadillac of monitors is the Dell UltraSharp based on their IPS design and seemingly impossible pixel density. If I were in the market, I'd strongly consider this one as they typically run upwards of $700. But on Amazon, only $436!

Otherwise, you can find the other brands I mentioned for cheaper on Newegg or something. I typically try to look for multiple connection types, LED back lighting, and a minimum HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. HTH

EDIT: Looks like Samsung has a relatively cheap 4K monitor that is pretty reasonable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YD3DBOC/

This is a pretty sexy monitor...

Ha! I also looked at that one (figured the price might be too steep) and if price was no object, I'd likely spring for it. I've seen a couple of those ultra-wides at different offices and they look fantastic!

YES! You should casually forward that link to Mrs. Ram and say "hint, hint". LOL

That is one epic display. And check out one of these user review photos. Nice gaming station!

I bought these LED lights from Amazon to tape behind the monitor and they worked great until they fell off.  That was over a month ago and I've been too busy [playing PUBG and Destiny 2] to do anything about it.  That picture reminds me I want to get a new case too.  I'm using this case I got for $20 because it reminded me of the old Alienware cases, but now I want to get rid of it because it reminds me of the old Alienware cases lol:

I'm seeing more and more of the custom builds not using a case at all (including the pic above). Literally bolting everything to a piece of plywood and hanging it on the wall. I'd be really tempted to do the same just so I don't have to worry about making sure there are enough slots for everything.

Indeed. But with a greater degree of exposure, comes more susceptibility to damage and dust/debris. If you truly want to be worry free on space for a new PC build, go with the Cooler Master Cosmos II. It weighs in at 47.3 lbs, EMPTY. LOL

I like the new tempered glass style cases that are coming out like these:

TechArmor screen protector delivered today because they decided to try to deliver to a business at 6:42 pm on a Saturday, when it was originally supposed to be delivered by Friday.

Will replace tonight if I remember.
