Voltes_5 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 So, my old trusty Hannspree 27 inch monitor just went and crapped out on me couple days ago. Lasted almost 9 years. My system is strictly for gaming. It consists of an i5 2500K 4.9/2x4gb G.Skill/GTX 680 SLI/Corsair AX 1200 psu. Was gaming on 1900x1200 res. Here are my two choices so far. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-29-ips-led-hd-219-ultrawide-monitor/9222018.p?id=1219399592125&skuId=9222018 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-27-widescreen-flat-panel-led-hd-monitor-black/4964245.p?id=1218586474100&skuId=4964245 Don't want to go bigger than 27", I sit in front of my desk. I tried hooking up the 32 inch LED/HD tv and its just too close. I can't move further back due to the mouse and keyboard. Leaning towards the LG Ultrawide, looked pretty good when I went to check it out at the Bestbuy store. Budget is $300 to $450, any other suggestions are welcome. Again, this is for my gaming only system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Asus is not bad.. Unfortunately i cannot see ebay link at work Amazon has that monitor for cheaper for $241 with $20 rebate http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VE278Q-27-Inch-Integrated-Speakers/dp/B0043T34RK Edited November 25, 2014 by Gremlin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes_5 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Nice one IVI, the plus is that the vendor is supposed to be at California. That would save me a lot for shipping. When I input my zip code, it still says free shipping, but sent an email to the seller to confirm if it is free shipping. If thats a no go then Gremlin's suggestion is a possibilty, I still am on the Amazon Prime free shipping trial. Thanks guys, Have not really kept up to date as far as pc monitors go, had no reason to I guess while my old one was working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Should be free shipping to anywhere in the US Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Overclockable QNIX is a no brainer at the $310 price. Got mine for $270 shipped used. No dead pixels, easily overclockable to 120Hz, IPS panel, 27" 2560 x 1440, 99% sRGB. Edited November 26, 2014 by El_Capitan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Really it's a choice between inputs and a likely better panel haha Edited November 27, 2014 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Is that monitor good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 The ultra-wide will give you better image quality and a nice gaming experience. I have one and love it. Only issue I have is a few games do not seem to scale well. Having an issue right now with DAI and the UI scaling for setting the companions AI. However I can tell you that moving from my 29" ultrawide to a 27" 1440 is painful my games do not look right any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
