Hello Hard Forum members!
I've typically lurked around as an anonymous user so I can find the "best deals" for (what was) my upcoming computer upgrade(s). Now I'm looking for help on a big monitor purchase. At the moment I'm a little confused as what to get.
Current Computer Specs: i7:2600k, 8gig ddr3, 6970, SSD
I currently have a 27" 1920x1200 HannsG monitor and two (2) 22" 1680x1050 LG monitors. I'm looking to join the 30" "high definition" club as opposed to buying 3 24" monitors and going for Eyefinity.
I've read that the Dell 3008 was the best way to go-and that the best prices were at Dell Outlet. However, I've recently noticed that there are posts about another Dell 30" named U311 for slightly more. I've read quite a few pages of posts regarding all of these monitors and I'm still slightly lost as to what I should be striving to buy.
I noticed that you could get a 3007/3008 for less than $800 so that would be my desired budget. If needed, I'm willing to spend up to $1200 max for quality. Lower response times are desired more than most other monitor specifications. I watch movies (through my computer) on the monitor often... so I don't think I really need scaling... although it might be nice to have it down the road if I ever buy a console or hook up my old PS2, but it isn't a priority.
Should I just continue looking at Dell Outlet until I see a Dell 3008 for a good price or what?
Thank you!
