I need some help choosing a monitor. (lemmy.world)

Simply put I have built a gaming tower that I have no monitor that will connect with the machine only having a BIOS and no OS. As I understand it, I need something that will connect with an HDMI cable, but that seems to be either a traditional monitor or a tablet. I'm completely unsure which would be more stable, and therefore "better." I lean towards the normal static monitor over HDMI enabled tablets, but I am uncertain if that is just me being out of touch with the latest hardware.

This is the build list I used, except I doubled the RAM to 64 GB of the same type.

Thank you very much, in advance.

Why the fuck would you use a tablet as a monitor?

Just get a nice 1440p screen sporting variable refresh rates.

So I can use the tower in multiple rooms

Use Sunshine/Moonlight and play it remotely if you're in another room.
