New monitor - 24" ~

andy85wsm · 25 May 2012 at 04:36

Hello!

So last week I bought a new gaming rig and now it's time to update a few other bits - one being the monitor!

At the moment I have a 5ms, 22" Samsung LCD monitor with a resolution of 1680 x 1050.

I'm looking for a 24" ish LED monitor, with 1080p resolution. Are there noticeable differences between:

2ms and 5ms

60Hz vs 120Hz

?

Any more opinions for brands etc? I'm not too bothered about 3d, but I may go all out and get a 27" monitor not sure yet.

I have a GTX 680 and would like to use my current monitor as a second screen for web browsing watching TV / youtube videos etc while I game on the main monitor I'll be buying!

Yeah I think that's going to be the winner. Not sure about going for a 27".

At 1920x1080p? I've seen that res in action on the 750d. Definetily looked sharper on the 23". I have the 23" too, it's a beaut.

Sooooooooo tempted by the 750d and just go one monitor. I could always still use my 22" as a secondary monitor if I wanted to anyway.

I assume the squareish looking port next to the HDMI on my GTX680 is the display port connection and I also assume that the 27" 750d will come with this cable?

So close to hitting buy...
