Okay... I'm ready to pull the trigger on one more attempt on a monitor. I had posted about trying the ASUS VG248E, and not being happy (Mainly the size.. downsizing from 27" to 24" was not right for me). So I went with a BenQ XL2720Z... Well.. I don't know how happy I am with it. I realize that for me, I think picture quality is more important over the speed.. Bottom line, I want my games to look pretty.
I use my PC for gaming like.. 90% of the time. I play everything. I'm not exactly competitive, I play shooters, but I'm not amazing, so I'm really not competitive. But I play everything. Right now I'm playing FFXIV: ARR, The Crew, Far Cry 4, Archage, BF4.. so it's all over the place.
A 1440p monitor does sound better to me than a 1080 at this point afterall. I also do graphic work, not professionally.. mainly design stuff for Twitch, guild websites, icons, logos, banners, etc, for fun. Fix up photos and such.
This is to be used as my primary monitor. I have two cheap Acer G276HL's that I use as my side monitors. The primary is for gaming, then all the other stuff while having a game up.
How is the AOC? I don't want to spend over $500.. so I'm limited in that I would like to stay below $500. I realized I should maybe move away from TN. My old Samsung 245T I was INSANELY happy with for 6 years until it died last year. I thought the image quality was great on it, and I liked the 1920x1200.. So any advice is appreciated, as I want to pull the trigger ASAP and compare the new one with the BenQ and decide which to return.
Edit: Oh I just noticed that the AOC has a $50 off promo code on Newegg... Hmmm
