Hi guys,
I'm having very big trouble deciding what monitor to buy. Here are my needs:
1. Basic usage (Internet, reading, Office, etc.)
2. Gaming (not so much ultra competitive gaming, but still, a fair amount of gaming of different kinds, both slow and moderately fast)
3. Watching movies (Blu-rays, streaming)
4. Occasional Photoshop usage, nothing pro
What I am aiming for:
1. At least a 27'' screen
2. Not more than 700 dollars for a 27'' one
3. High native res of 2560x1440
And then the questions/concerns:
1. Can't decide on the size. Is it worth trying to go for the 30'' screen? Is the difference in size that noticeable/beneficial? Do 30'' screens have noticeable problems that 27'' screens don't?
2. Of course, the brand and the model. I have been inclined towards the Dell U2713HM, but then there's this U2713H "flagship" stuff and how it's so awesome, etc. But then others say it's only awesome because of the extended color gamut and is only good for photo enthusiasts and will actually be worse for gaming and casual usage. Then there are the Viewsonics and BenQ's and so one.
3. What grey-to-grey timings are ok? 8ms? 6ms? 2ms?
4. To what degree input lag is relevant? Is something around 20ms "unusable"?
I want the best 27'' for my goals I can get (for that price) or a reason to go for a 30'' one (Dell U3014 is twice as expensive as the U2713HM, which is uncool).
Any thoughts?
