Which 27" monitor?

UberGinge · 27 Dec 2013 at 11:31

After treating myself to a nice shiny 780ti over the holiday period, I figured it would be a crime not to push it with a 2560x1440 (or above) monitor! I currently have the BenQ xl2420t (120hz) as my monitor. It pains me to move away from 120hz, but I'm probably not going to miss it all that much when I have more screen to play with

It will pretty much only be used for gaming and browsing the web, and I wouldn't mind it having a VESA mount on the back so I can possibly hike it up on an arm.

Let's say £450. No need to worry about VAT though!

Incidentally make sure you read the stickies in this sub forum

Mine should be delivered today

No point in ordering a 1080P 27" monitor to go with a 780ti imo - you're not gaining anything. Has to be 1440P or above...

Let's hope you're not plagued by some problems floating around on forums.

Good luck!

Not entirely sure which issues you are referring to, but I seem to have no backlight bleed with my monitor, so that's a good start!

My god what a difference over 1920 x 1080!

If your going 1920 x 1080 then 24" is good enough.

If you want to be wowed then go for 2560 x 1440 IPS.
