    24 Inch Mac Display Has Died...recommendations?

    My 2011 MBP has been friends with my 2009 24 inch Mac display since its arrival at my house. However, the display has finally seen its last day and I was wondering (other than the latest Mac display), what MacRumors users would recommend with in the 170 to 300 range?

    How to get used to 60Hz Displays again?

    Wanted to buy a MacBook Pro so I went to the store to try one out. I have a 144Hz Monitor at home so the 60Hz Monitor felt very stuttery and incredibly cheap to me. I like MacBooks in theory and would love to buy one but I can’t bring myself to spend a premium on something feeling dirt cheap to me.
