No, I did not test the Jlink monitor in my kitchen.

Anyone who spends long hours in front of a computer monitor knows how important a good display can be. Yes, you should seriously consider an upgrade from that small, flat monitor. And although the Jlink 32-inch display is classified as a gaming monitor, it doesn't mean can only be used for gaming.

Case in point: For years, I've used a Dell curved display monitor that was originally recommended for gaming -- and I cannot imagine going back to a flat monitor. There is just something about that curve that makes viewing easier on my eyes. My Dell monitor was pretty pricey at the time I purchased it (around$1,000) and I haven't regretted the decision.

However, when the Jlink demo arrived and I plugged it in, I realized that monitors have improved so much over the years that a$269 monitor was every bit equal to that costlier Dell.

Jlink 32-inch Gaming Monitor

This monitor is sure to please just about any user and won't break the bank.

Now, take that opinion with caution, as I am not a gamer. I spend the vast majority of my time at my computer writing. Because I spend upwards of nine hours a day writing, I need a monitor that will ease the strain on my eyes, so a lack of flicker and a solid resolution are absolute musts for me. A curve on the display is a big plus and the Jlink has this in spades. In fact, the Jlink curve is noticeably sharper than my Dell, which means I can be closer to the monitor and still easily view every inch of the screen.

As for display quality, I would easily put the Jlink on par with my Dell monitor, which says quite a bit (as the Dell is one of the best monitors I've ever used).
