I'm using my old 32" HD LG tv at the moment and I have to say it isn't the best.
Not only is it too big to sit right in front of, stretching 1080p to 32" and sitting so close makes everything so stretched. When I lived with my parents it was a necessity but now I have my own house and PC room it isn't.
I'm thinking of an upgrade but due to a small budget (upgrading the rig at the same time) I don't know what to prioritise. I'm guessing that a lot of people have the same questions I do and would benefit from them all in the same place.
My three concerns are:
What is the best size for 1080p gaming? (As much as I would like to try out 4K my rig will never handle it). I'm a bit concerned dropping all the way to 24" from 32"may be underwhelming but if the clarity is that much better I'll do it. Is it true that 27" is best reserved for higher res? Has anyone dropped from 32 to 23/24 or even 27" and was the clarity worth the size drop?
What is the highest response time I'm going to be able to handle without noticing a massive issue in terms of gaming?
If I settle for a 60hz display, am I really going to regret it seeing as in coming from a tv? My rig will be the below with the addition of a RX480 8gb and an SSD for a while yet so I doubt I'm going to even see 60+ fps on a lot of games anyway at higher settings.
Really appreciate all the help, and sorry for the essay!
