how much do you want to pay :) ?

for 2560x1600 is better ALOT better m and I assume it is an IPS .

and the best monitor for gaming is IPS with low ms , not the high herz :)

to feel the difference , you will need above 60 fps (60 hz) in games , and for that , you need a high end card .. so you will never see it.

but if you want Rich colors and great viewing angles get an IPS it is better.

here is a comparison between IPS and TN monitors :)

you will need to lower the resolution on the 2560x1600 when playing :) coz it needs a very fast graphic card at least a GTX 780 to be ale to run smooth at that resolution :)

Tell me which Monitor are you going to get,

Edit : 300$ ? it is impossible to get 2560x1600 for that price , expect minimum of 900$

Hi - at $300 & under, you need to look at 1920x1080, you might find 1920x1200,
so your lookin at 23" or 24" monitors. Not many 24" IPS @ <$300, mostly 23's.

If you want 2560x1440 (27"), it's a lot more $$ than 300.

2560x1600 (30") are like the poster above said, starrt around $900.

2560x1440 looks WAAAAAAAAaaayyyyyyy better than 1080p

its like going from 480 to 1080p

That is assuming your GPU can pump out 40-60 FPS in games at that resolution.

You can get cheap(er) 2560x1440 displays from Korea on eBay, look into Crossover Q27 and such on eBay.
