Monitor Upgrade

[Scratch99]

Been using a Dell 24" monitor for gaming and net surfing, that I purchased mainly from suggestions given at this forum.
So, I'm back again to seek your help.
This old Dell is very comfortable for net surfing, but I'm jonesing for something a bit larger, say 27" for dedicated gaming.
My budget would probably not permit a much larger screen.
Most of the games I play are medieval/strategy games and some flight/racing sims.
Presently putting together a legacy box with mostly new parts.
I have a relative thread going at PC Gaming & Hardware..
Even though legacy games, I still would like a larger and quality picture.
Your help as always is most appreciated.

Your PC Spec and would help with suggestions. At least your CPU/GPU info and your budget.

Thanks very much for your response:
My specs are Core 2 Duo with a GTX260.
Not the latest and greatest, but it works well.

In that case, You'll probably want to stay with a 1080 display. Take a look at this article, should give you some idea of cost and what you can expect:

Many thanks for the link Wiz.
Looks like Dell was #1 on that hit parade.
My 24" Dell has served me the best of any monitor I ever had.
Most of the new monitors are featuring HDMI connections.
I need to be careful with my next purchase as I need DVI.
Surprised that the 27" BenQ Zowie didn't get more love.
