So one of my friends is gaming on a rig that I picked out the parts for (it has a 780GTX), and he's gaming on a Samsung 204B (something I did not know at the time). The thing seems to be going out (having trouble detecting signals on the DVI port), so I just suggested he at least go to a 1080p IPS monitor over that TN panel for the improved colors and whatnot. Since he is on an old TN panel that has low refresh rate anyway, I don't think response time is anything to worry about, but I guess it's good to have a higher one for gaming anyway.
So what's the best value out there? If I had to list priorities I guess:
- Color reproduction
- Response time
Past that I don't really think it matters, though you may point out if it does and why you think it does. I haven't done much research at below 1440p lately so I'm not sure where things are at.
I considered suggesting 1440p, but I figure with the cheap prices on 1080p's it's good to use this as a stepping stone since it doesn't seem like he wants to go SLI yet. I don't think 1440p would be a reasonable jump, considering his GPU probably won't drive it that well on every game (I use 1440p with 780SLI...).
Edit: Oh, and maybe 1200p (1920x1200) as well. It's closer to his current res anyway.
