Step 3 – Replace Your Device

So, you’ve tried our videos, but no improvement. You’ve priced out a repair shop, but the cost is too high or they don’t have the right part. We’ve been there, and although we’ve gotten used to our device, replacement is the best option.

In our experience usually a few things hold us back from replacement:

  1. The price is too high.
  2. There are too many choices and we get stuck.
  3. Quality is important but we can’t tell if it’s just over priced.

Well, we’ve done some research and tried to simplify it for you (and for ourselves!). We’ve set aside only our top picks and sorted them by Best Value (a nice balance of price and quality, and usually the highest average rating), Highest Quality (if you want the best), and Lowest Price (if you’re worried about the cost). See below for our recommendations on Monitors, Tablets, Computers, and Phones. We’ll be adding more, so check back often, and send us a note if you have any favorites!

Monitors

Monitors have many uses these days: computer programming, graphic design, watching Netflix, gaming, etc. For the sake of keeping it simple here are our recommendations for every day use:
