Hi guys, I'm having trouble making up my mind on a monitor, I already got my build but no monitor...
Here are my specs
Intel i5-3570k
8 gig ram
SINGLE EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB
I need some help deciding whether to go with either a:
IPS 27" monitor (Catleap) resolution of 2560x1440 which would give lower FPS (~40). Also might arrive with potential problems such as DOA or Dead Pixels
OR
A 1080p monitor between 24-27" (Haven't decided but I'm looking at Samsung or Asus) which would give much higher FPS (~60-100). Reduced chance of having DOA or Dead Pixels
Basically it's the classic case of performance vs quality. If I wasn't completely strapped for cash, I'd just SLI and have the best of both worlds.
Some say the display on the Catleap is phenomenal even at lower resolution. I was thinking I could run some games on max everything and those that I couldn't I'd just lower the resolution to 1080p but it doesn't have an inbuilt scaler and things might look "ugly"
Some what I'm asking is that in my situation, which do you think would be the wisest choice and how can I get the best out of my new setup for this build.
Please either say Catleap or recommend me and alternative monitor in the 24-27" inch range that's 1080p.
I've done my research but I can't make my mind up.
