So basically I'm on a tight budget and the 24 inch off-brand tv I've been doing my pc gaming on just bit the dust. I have an absolute max of 300 dollars to spend and I'm torn between buying a 1080p 27 inch monitor and a 1080p 32 inch tv. I'm already aware that the larger tv stretches pixels out to fill space and makes everything look a little less detailed. I guess my question is really this: do you think the extra 5 inches of landscape is worth slightly more pixelated graphics? I'm going for overall immersion here, not just graphics quality.
By the way, the reason I'm not looking at higher resolution monitors with larger screens is also because my gpu only has 1gb of memory and can't handle anything above 1080p at reasonable graphics settings. Basically I can't afford to drop another 200-300 on a gpu.
