Apple Thunderbolt Monitor Wins LifeHacker Reader Poll

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

When it comes to picking the best computer monitors on the market, features, value, and screen size all come into play. There are dozens of brands and models to pick from, and when it comes to displays, you often get what you pay for. Even so, when we asked you earlier last week to nominate the monitors you thought were the best, you offered up some great contenders. We counted your votes, and then looked at the five best computer monitors overall, and put them to a vote. Now we’re back to highlight the winner.

Apple fans turned out the vote for their pick: The Apple Thunderbolt 27″ Display took the top spot, but only barely with close to 32% of the votes cast. Its limited compatibility and high price didn’t stop those of you who votes for it based on its panel quality and excellent colors.

In second place with close to 20% of the overall vote was the Dell UltraSharp U3011 30″ Display, the most expensive in our lineup, but also the one with the most inputs and overall features.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
