I have a 26" Planar PX2611W that's kind of spoiled me.
I'm looking for an additional monitor I'll be using for gaming, which is why I'd like the 16:9 aspect ratio specifically for its field of view in certain games. That's not it's only purpose, I need an additional monitor anyway to complement my current workspace for other things.
I thought about just getting another monitor for work and running those games on my Planar at 1920x1080 with resolution scaling disabled (it's native is 1920x1200, and disabling resolution scaling works except that everything becomes extremely fuzzy).
I'd prefer a non-TN panel, but I know IPS and low input lag don't go together very often, at least that wasn't the case the last time I did some real research on the matter. I also know they can be expensive, I'm not looking to pay another $800 USD for a monitor like I did with my Planar, but $400-$500 isn't out of the question.
