Hi,
I'm going to get a new monitor along with my new Gigabyte GTX770. All the info I have been checking are mostly about 2 monitors Asus VG278H and Benq XL2720T and the 24" versions of these. I kind of decided that I like Asus one better, but then my bro came along and says that it is too old (2011) and that I should get 24" instead, because pixel pitch will make 27" look bad.. Is this any true? I was pretty skeptic, but then I checked some known people gaming rigs and some of them were using 24" (and using it with Titan..
) .. multiple mostly, but still. So, to summ up:
1) Does 24" look better than 27"? Because of pixel pitch or something
2) Isn't 27" too big? Can I see all on screen? Currently I have 18,5" and I'm used to sitting about 1,5-2 feet away, but there is room to move it back to ~3 feet if needed, or how it goes.
3) Is there anything about product age that matters? Like Asus one don't have Display Port.. does that matter?
4) For Asus 27" there are 3 versions - H, HE and HR.. whats the difference? Well HE is 144hz.. OK (not choosing it anyway, because the reviews said its worse than H), but HR? In specification I didn't find anything..
5) Asus VG278H is said to come with Glasses.. but is it V1 or V2? Or it depends on each retail store?
6) What you prefer? The price differs here for about 180$ for 27" versions, are the glasses worth it? Or better take cheaper version and buy glasses separately? I suppose that I want to try 3D.. well just because I can
7) I understand that these 120+Hz monitors are pretty new thing, but how is the lifetime for these things? I kind of suppose that I don't want to get new monitor.. well unless for movies or multi-monitor setup.. will it serve for 5-10 years? Or we will be using Oculus Rift soon enough to forget all this?
8) Will my GTX770 be good enough for LightBoost n stuff? Does it depends on 27" or 24"?
Thanks!

Mostly I tend to play older games where graphics don't matter that much, but FPS I'm playing a lot.. and will use the monitor for movies and sometimes for work.
