Hi Guys,
First post here but I've been watching Linus for a while so hi.
Basically today my monitor I inherited with my first computer gave its final croaks outta nowhere and is no longer functional (its lasted a good 8 years). I have a 10 year old spare that overheats if its on for a long time so I'm not 100% S.O.L. but I do need to decide on my first real monitor purchase and ASAP. I'm in the market for 1440p, do some gaming but its not a pure focus, I run an AMD R9 290 in my system. I've spent a good while last year looking at a 27" QNIX QX2710 and it's been sitting there on the top of my list. A bit of looking today also showed a pretty good case for the 25" Acer G257HU. At the same price point is there anything significantly better, more reliable, and/or cheaper. Basically I want an insanity check on if the two links below are good choices and if there are any greener pastures to explore (that dont cost more green) before making a purchase tonight or tomorrow morning. Adieu and thanks
