Recently built myself a dedicated gaming PC and looking to upgrade from my trusty, almost decade old 37 1920 X 1080P Westinghouse TV (lol). After gaming on a few of my friends systems I've decided that I'd like to game at 2560x1600 (or 1440) on a single 30' +/- monitor. I've tried a multi monitor set up before and did not care for it one bit, which is why I went with the Westy at the time
I've been reviewing my options for the last few weeks and honestly I'm more confused than ever- 44k? 120Hz? IPS vs TN? Huh? What? Almost too many options to choose from.
I've looked at the recent 34 219 wide screens- while they are nice I'd rather wait until that format matures a bit.
Would be nice it it has DVI, display port and HDMI port options due to other devices I'll be plugging into it -mostly a few older laptops with different port options and resolutions. Not a deal breaker if it does not have these options but new monitor must have mutiple connection options (3-4). OSD would be nice as well
Looking to spend up to $800- less is better of course. Would consider spending a tiny bit more but your argument must be very compelling. Monitor must be readily available for domestic shipping since I'm looking to purchase very soon
If it matters, system is:
4930K
2 X 780 Lghtnings in SLI
32 GB RAM
Couple SSDs
etc
I realize everyone will have their personal preferences for what they suggest. Please give me your recommendations and why you recommend it and it would be great if what you recommend is something you are actually using in case I have some specific questions.
Thanks
