My secondary display just gave up on me. I'm deciding if I want to upgrade to a new main display, and use my current one as my secondary - or buy a cheap seconary display to use for a while.
Right now I'm using a 27'' 1080p 2ms (I think the refresh rate is between 75-85hz, it gave a vertical/horizontal refresh rate. I'm new to display specs, so I'm not sure).
I've heard great things about the ASUS PG278Q ROGm but at $750~ it's quite a bit outside of my range right now.
My main question:
How important is refresh rate and response time for gaming? I don't play too many games right now, and if I did, it wouldn't be too competitive. I mainly play CS:GO, Path of Exile, and League of Legends all casually. From a casual gaming standpoint, should I really shell out the extra money for gaming specs?
Additionally, with my workflow the extra real estate offered from a 2k resolution is a big deal.
Are there any cheaper 2k resolution (at least 27'' - from what I've read it's not very comfortable using that high of a resolution on anything smaller than 27'', opinions welcome here too) that I can get away with casual gaming without noticing too much of a performance drop from what I'm using currently?
