Monitor Recommendation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   So, I'm getting my first ever gaming computer (specs below) and I'm trying to decide on either a 1080p gaming monitor or a 1440 monitor. And by extension TN or IPS. I primarily play games like Fallout 4, Primal, Total War Warhammer, GTAV, and occasionally a FPS like Eternal Crusade. I worry about overheating the system as I did that one time to a computer about 12 years ago.  I prefer to have great graphics and smoothness over having the fastest twitch finger. I have about $350-$550 towards a monitor and would prefer a 27".  So any advice on a specific monitors or specs I should look for is greatly appreciated. I appreciate any help-THANKS!

	Sorry about the late reply, but go with whatever fits into your budget and needs. Also, are you looking for a particular refresh rate on your new monitor (i.e. 60hz, 75hz, 144hz, etc.) or are you in it for the resolution? From personal experience, having a high refresh rate just looks and feels so nice even when compared to 4K. 1440P and 120hz or higher looks incredible under many gameplay circumstances. http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-24-gaming-monitor-s2417dg/apd/210-aizs/monitors-monitor-accessories This is what I personally use and love!
