hi guys, im In need of a new monitor, and as always I think bigger is better,
I will be using it for gaming and after some research and your guys opinion
I belive.that a ips monitor that's 5ms or better is what im looking for.
I do not plan on using 3d ever, I hate it. and although I will be buying a new
video card in the 250 dollar range I think I want to go 1080p so I can have all
the eye candy turned on and as games get more intense ill be ok in two to three years
with same graphics card because im still at 1080p.

That being said ive read several people say 27inch monitors at 1080p are pixelated and
no amount of aa will fix it. Also I will be sitting close to the screen 2.5 to 3 feet from the screen.

So should I get a 27 inch or do you think I would be happier with a 24.

thanks in advance for all your help as always. my gaming is in your hands.

27" is too pixelated for my tastes, but it depends on what you're doing. Some pro CS players use 27" monitors with no AA because they need to be able to split pixels. If that's not your game then I'd go as small as possible to enhance perceived image quality.
