All,
I am starting to shop for PC component upgrades (I rebuild every other year) and I'm looking for advice on a new monitor. Currently I am using a Hanns-G 27" 1920x1200 monitor (HZ281HPB) that has an annoying dead pixel flanked by an LG 24" (L246WPQ) that also runs at 1920x1200.
I am hoping (at a minimum) to upgrade my primary display to a 1440p display, but would be open to upgrading both if the price were right.
Currently I do quite a bit of gaming which includes mostly RPGs (WoW, ESO, Diablo III, etc.) and a little Hearthstone/Starcraft II. Occasionally, I do some FPS gaming like Planetside 2 or LFD2. On my second monitor, I usually just do email/browse or watch movies while gaming. My face is generally about 18"-24" from the displays.
My current processor/video card is a i7-2600K and an XFX 7950, but I will probably upgrade them in the next month or two.
As far as price range, I would consider anything up to about 750$. Picture quality and reliability are big plusses for me.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
