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.

I use a tablet as a second monitor on my Windows laptop occasionally. It's white laggy and only really good for displaying mostly static stuff. I used it for the browser to reference assignment details and other resources while I used my laptop display for my IDE. I wouldn't recommend it for gaming or videos.

Gotcha, thanks for the recommendation
