First i have to say that this is a very nice forum, a lot of information can be found....:)

Hi, right now i have a dell 24" 1920x1200, im thinking to upgrade to a 27" (300-400 us) prefered LED.

I usually play games on my computer, wich one you recommend me, im very confused about the reviews that i have read?

i know for the price that it will be 1920x1080, do you think that will be to bad to go to a low resolution?

Sorry for my English.

Thanks very much for reading my post
 
One quick question, have you considered a 32" TV as a monitor?
 
no i havent cosiderer a tv as a monitor......

i think that 1080p in a 32 inch its going to be very low resolution, or i am wrong?

Thxs
 
OK, so if I get a 32" LCD TV for use as a monitor, its native resolution is 1366 x 768 or 1080p-quality signal down-converted to 720p-quality image. A 37" LCD TV would display 1920 x 1080 or 1080p. For gaming use can the 1080p signal be used by the 32" TV and show 1080 quality just like the 37" TV or does it get down-converted anyway?
 
Well there are 32" 1080p panels. My friend uses one as his main monitor. It works well, just has a tiny bit of input lag, but it's playable. you only see it if you're looking for it... like bezels. Though that's a conversation for later.

Anyway, I'd say if you can get a good deal on a dell u2711, go for it. Though I'm sure you can get a used dell 3007wfp for less.
 
His budget is 3-400, i doubt a u2711 will be that much. Used 3007wfp is possible but unlikely.

oh, didn't read all of the first post. I got my 3007wfp off of craigslist (except for one on here) and those two off were 300 and 400 bucks. I suggest looking there.

I know, as my last one cost me ~$720. I'm hoping I can get lucky again, there's not a lot of them around hampton roads, but they pop up from now and then, and it's fairly easy to talk people down on craigs.

What brand and model number is your friend using?
 
AVS has a huge on going thread about using LCD TV's as PC monitors.

Its certainly possible to do but only a few monitors will work decently.

OP I'd look at this PLANAR LCD and see if its available at a decent price in your country. My boss has 2 of these and they look good. You do start to notice that things look a little jagged around the edges though at 1080p.
 
See if the AOC e2795Vh Review is on avaliable. It uses an MVA panel and has good colors, deep blacks and a fast response time.

Same goes for the Acer B273HLOymidh Review, it is just as good as the AOC, except has even better black levels but a slower response time.
