I bought my last one 2-3 years back, without asking anyone online & relying solely on the shop person & deeply regretted it as it wasn't Full HD. I own a Samsung S20A300N which has a maximum resolution of 1600X900.
My config:
CPU Intel i5 3570k
MB Maximus V Gene
RAM Gskill 8gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
Cabinet Corsair 400r cabinet
HDD 1 TB
ZOTAC 970 GTX Amp Core Extreme
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I'll be using the monitor for surfing, playing games & watching movies. [/FONT]
Now, this is going to be a slightly complex decision because I'd also like to include the answer to the following questions:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]1) What is the highest resolution that games these days have & in upcoming future display? I understand that 1920x1080 is by far the most popular PC gaming monitor resolution but I've also seen monitors which have
2) Which HD monitor should I buy? I mean the size, brand etc. (like 21 inch or 24 or 27 etc)
As of now, there isn't a certain budget limit that I've now so would like to know all the options available. I mean, I wouldn't prefer spending something like RS 40,000 on a monitor but if it's worth it, then maybe I can consider it.
I also know it's a bit of a personal decision but would still like to have your input, based on the following questions:
3) What should I choose between ? A big monitor on which graphics may slightly tear up coz of it's big size? Or a medium sized monitor that will allow full resolution on it's screen? i. no pixel tearing
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]4) If the monitor resolution is too big, will it affect the performance? Will there be too much lag etc? [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]5) Is there some way to decide on a perfect size? This is lightly based on question no 3...Like, should i choose between a good size or better frame rate? What do you guys prefer & which is more enjoyable? Like buying a big monitor & sitting away from it or buying a medium sized monitor & sitting a bit closer to it...You get my questions.[/FONT]

6) What should be my sitting distance from the monitor for 21 inch, 23 inch, 24 inch, 27 inch etc??
Would there be a different sitting distance for a) surfing than b) playing games or c) watching movies?

2560x1440 (& maybe even higher but not sure). Does it make sense buying 2560X1440 ? Is it more future proof & worth the investment?

. I spent 30k+ on my GPU to especially avoid lags as I hate them.
