I have two computers, so I need a display with two inputs
Gaming PC- ATI 480, DVI, HDMI and display port outputs
HTPC - ATI 5450. DVI, HDMI outputs.
I do have a Yamaha AVR that I used to route the two computers (and consoles) with DVI-HDMI then HDMI-DVI cables But with display port then means I have to go direct.
I want freesync, 24" 1080p, 75hz minimum. But ideally bigger as I found the Samsung 24" 16:9 to be small in height. I'd like more than 60hz+ output from the HTPC, so do I need DVI for that, as I believe HDMI doesn't support anything higher? So ideally DVI + display port inputs.
Otherwise if I replace the GPU in the HTPC to a modern one, then display port (but need passive or ultra low noise GPU) so monitor would need two display port inputs.
Keeping it around 95 pixels per inch.
34" ultra wide 1440p is barely doable, but I think it'll be too big, and too demanding on the 480.
I liked the VA colours on the Samsung 24"
