Finally looking to upgrade my 10+ year old Acer H243H TN with something 32inch. I can't figure out what's better or not, and I know that's subjective anyway. So the question is, will I be disappointed either way I go? Below is what I have and the VA I'm looking at. The monitor will mostly be used for Internet videos & browsing, pictures, and document viewing (spreadsheets, online documents - wife does ancestry work). But I also game on it from time to time, I play a wide variety of games.
I don't care about viewing angles. It'll be the primary monitor right in front of me. I like pretty colors, but I also don't want games to look like crap from blurring (I don't notice it on my current one). I like the idea of curved, but I'm not stuck to it.
So the question is, will anything I go to be a disappointment? Will I notice a negative difference by switching?
