Afternoon gents,
Needing to upgrade my current set up which contains a 1080p 22" monitor, although a pretty poor television by all accounts.
I'm pretty sure i'm going to go for a 27" monitor, and have the current 22" as a second screen. The 27" will be used as my main screen on my PC which will generally be used for low graphics games such as football manager, general computing, watching youtube videos, watching Netflix and watching Tv programs/Movies.
As a result, I've started looking into 1440p monitors, due to apparently 1080p monitors starting to become slightly pixelated at this 27" size. Is this the right call? Or for what my PC is going to be used, would 1080p be fine?
I was also looking at curved screens, but am i correct in thinking that while curved would be good for short distance, e.g sat right at the monitor, curved while watching at a good few feet e.g. for movies, would completely detract from the experience, or even make the experience worse.
Finally, i'm not sure, can Xbox ones play 1440p? The monitor will also be used as a tv for my xbox one, preferably connected through a second HDMI cable.
From what I've seen so far, at the amount I'm willing to spend, 1440p and curved isn't an option. So it will be one or the other, or neither
Thanks gents
