You need to think of a better starter word, I suspect!

I looked it up in the end - not a proper word in my opinion

I've seen and heard it used before, and it is defined in that sense in some dictionaries. (Trying not to leave spoilers here!)
But ... it's also in Merriam-Webster, Collins, Dictionary.com, and others under an older, more technical definition.
Oh, and Urban Dictionary under a drug reference!
It's a word, but not a "good word" IMHO either.

Not sure if it is still brewed, but used to be the name of a beer brewed in Hawaii.

It's an Italian (and Spanish) word, I saw it used in English but only in fantasy settings with parts derived from ancient Rome. Honestly it was a last ditch (though if I used my usual second starter I may have reached it earlier).

Had to look this one up (after guessing it correctly) even though I knew I've seen that word before.
Of course I have, I've seen it in classical music, but how the heck is this an English word?

For 24" i can accept full hd. But I can't accept 16:9.
At 24" i would take a 16:10 1200p over any 16:9, no matter the resolution, color accuracy, contrast, or frame rate. Heck, i would run a 16:10 1200p with VGA if that is what it take (ehm.. i do.. I really should get that HDMI connector soldered back on).
But just go into a random shop and look at the displayed screens. Is the text too pixelated for your liking? If it is, consider paying for higher resolution. If not, no need to (assuming programming is the main activity.... If not, what are you doing here?)

I was literally just at a store drooling over this bad boy.
Except they've sold out. And I don't actually need one. But it's so nice...

Sweet! But what's wrong with VGA?
Actually, my newest monitor has enough resolution that it whines about my video card being unable to make use of it. Naturally, I just had to takes its advice and order a new video card. It's a very nice monitor, too. My last two gave their lives to teach me an important lesson; sitting in front of the PC is not the ideal place to clean and reassemble a .45 ACP model 1911 pistol. Those barrel bushings can get mighty frisky.

For a second, I thought you were going to say you used someone's post for target practice.

Weirdly, this page does not show the actual resolution of the screen (i.e. width pixels by height pixels) - or hides it so well I can't find it.

"Full HD" is only 1080p, it was never nice with large monitors, and at this time I would rate it no longer nice even with regular size monitors (assuming that that means 24 inch these days), but "mid at best", a nice 24 inch screen should be 1200p. For a "big monitor" (let's say that's 27 inch), I wouldn't go below 1440p.
Also, don't bother with TN screens, their viewing angle is usually so bad that only the center of screen looks good. TN has/had some niche usage as the Speed King, but IPS has really improved in that regard. The only thing the ASUS VG248QG has going for it is its speed (input lag, pixel response time, and refresh rate), and you can get an IPS screen that is about as good in all of those categories. Being a TN screen, it comes with poor contrast ratio, and likely noticeable discoloration towards the edges and corners just from the angle. There is, of course, no chance of watching HDR content on it either.
E: maybe I'm unusually picky with screens, but the damn thing is in my face for over 12 hours per day, it had better be decent.

Recommend HP 27ER. HDR at 1920 x 1080 with excellent contrast. I use HDMI port.
