Hi folks. The only real game I play is dota2, on a 24" 144Hz 1080p monitor. I have a second 24" portrait monitor that is just useful for screen real-estate and productivity - but unfortunately that just went pop (an old Dell 2407).
I was looking at replacing it but went down the rabbit hole of investigating tons of suggestions around getting an ultra-wide main monitor and demoting my 24" to a second screen, or some suggesting to get into the 27" 1440p world for my main screen. I then run into GPU issues as I'm only running a 1050ti, and so the cost spirals and the world becomes my oyster. Is anyone still in the 1080p 24" world and happy there or should I really be looking at going bigger with a higher resolution to something that will last another 15 years before going pop? How do these screens account for typical 1080p tv/film content and managing rather basic games like dota2 on low/med settings at 1080p? I don't want to compromise and get stretched content or upscaled AI-ness if possible.
Thanks!
