Monitors

[CountDeMoney]

Thinking about springing for a better monitor. Anybody have opinions on those IPS monitors for gaming/blu-Ray?  I was thinking about something in the neighborhood of 27" to 30", and the idea of one of those 21:9 extra-wide monitors sounds cool.  LG makes one that's intriguing, and it's in the <$300 range.

Graphics cards are two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti AMPs running in SLI, and I have an internal LG Blu-Ray DVD R/RW drive.

Thoughts?

I have a Samsung 27" and am pretty happy with it. It's ten months or so old, and it cost me 300 or so at the time.

So is IPS the route to go over LED when it comes to gaming an Blu-Ray?

Gaming - I don't think so, You are static at a right angle infront of the monitor.

Blu-Ray - what's your prefered sitting position then?

Buy an Asus Screen & rejoice.

I also have a Sausung 27" from a few years ago (and thus paid more Than $250 for) and it's pretty awesome.

It did replace a Samsung 24" that died a premature death though shortly under one year after purchasing.

So 27" is the new standard? I'm suddenly feeling that my 21" is very small and old.

I'm good with my 23" Acer LED.

I've had a 27" IPS monitor for quite a while. It's a Dell u2711, which I love. Fantastic colors and 2560*1440 res.

It was A LOT more expensive than $300 though.

I bought a new monitor now. A 28" Philips UHD. The resolution makes me think I need glasses and became really old overnight. 

But man, games that handle that high resolutions look good. So good I probably will get an epileptic seizure soon.
