27 inch monitor. 1920x1080 or 2560x1440... ? Help please

I searched for a long time but couldnt find any 27 inch, non TN monitors with 1920x1080 / 1920x1200 resolution... Except the BenQ VA panel which apparently has a pretty big input lag, making it a bad choice to play BF3 on.

Does anyone knows a 27 inch IPS monitor with 1920x1080 or similair?
 
Its hard to tell with the benq, two reviews say no input lag and one that says it does, like me you seem to be falling into the trap of looking for the perfect monitor the dosent exist

Do those review make any mention of tinkering with the OSD settings? A lot of monitors have some setting to reduce input lag.
 
heres the reviews i have found

im still no wiser on what to buy, dell u2711 nice but expensive, samsung and asus 120hz again nice but overpriced for 1080p i feel, the hazro 27 monitors seem to tick all the right boxes but something keeps nigleing me about quality issues, the benq looks to have a lot going for it at a very good price but i feel i would realy like to see it in the flesh before i parted with any money on it.
 
Anything likely to be landing in the next 3 - 6 months to compete with the Dell u2711 for 1440p/IPS etc at the £500-600 price range?
 
Why don't you take a smaller step up to a 24" 1920x1200 monitor like a Dell Ultrasharp? It's bigger than what you have, an IPS screen and should still be manageable by your 6870.

IMO there really is zero point in getting a 27" unless you go for the higher resolution and the graphics card to make it workable.

Good point you're making, but 24 inch is too small for me to justify spending money on the upgrade, since I already have 23 inch.

With this graphics card I can do anything I want on the 2540x1440 screen, except play the latest games on native resolution. That is why I am still doubting. Everything else I do on the PC will look much nicer and more immersive.

Does anyone know where I can see movies / screenshots of BF3 (or other modern games) at a 1440p screen at native resolution and at 1080p resolution?

If only I could see it with my own eyes, I could make the decission much easier...

Because otherwise you have to **** about changing the res all the time :rolleyes:
Afterall, what's the point getting a high-res monitor to play your games on, then not playing them at that res

oh hardly? you set it once and forget about, that's hardly the most laborious and time consuming of tasks, is it?

A 16:10 ratio 1920x1200 24" monitor is actually a fair bit bigger than a 23" 16:9 1920x1080. But I understand where you're coming from :)

Thats true, but in 16:9 content like movies / series, the difference is only 3%!
Also for gaming 16:9 is better I think. For desktop work, surely the opposite.

My eyes are average and I found on a 24" I had to have the resolution at 1680x1050.

Just bought a 27" at 1920x1080 and the pixel per inch is just right for me.

Same here, went from 24" to 27", and at 1920 x 1080 there was no noticeable issue with pixel size. The bigger screen was just nicer to play games on.
