[OpenIndiana-discuss] OT how to test a monitor

[Jason Matthews]

Short answer is it depends on the monitor but in most cases no. 

The price points on monitors/tvs have plummeted in recent years. 

My next monitor is a 65 inch 4K uhd. I have nice spot on the wall picked out. That said, you can get 32" Samsung for $200 these days.
