Hello,
My son and I have decided to start gaming together (read: I have decided to join in on HIS gaming). I'm currently using a 21 inch LG at the usual 1680x1050. My friend is offering me an almost brand new Samsung 24 inch at the 1980x1080 for around 100 bucks (he just doesn't use his desktop anymore). Should I go for it?
My current set-up:
Graphics = 560ti
CPU = i5 2500k
Will I see a big performance drop if I go for the bigger monitor and resolution?
If I get the bigger monitor and I do see a big drop, is it okay to switch down to a lower resolution, or will that make things ugly and weird? Will the image quality of the 24 inch be comparable to the 21 inch at the same resolution, if I do decide to drop?
Do you really need AA with that high of a resolution?
Thanks for your help, guys.
