Dual Monitor recommendations? - $300 per monitor

Ursula

Heyy,

I'm looking for suggestions from you guys on choosing a good model of monitor for a dual monitor setup.

 

Constraints

 - would like to stay under $300 per monitor if possible, can go over (a bit) if its worth it.

 - I do some gaming but not enough that I think my monitor refresh rate will improve my scores.  More so, I care about color accuracy and image quality like contrast etc.  The computer is used 80% for work and movies, 20% games.

 - Dual monitor setup so thin bezel would be preferred.

 - My rig has a 1070TI currently, might upgrade in a few years.

 - The bigger the better.  Thinking 24" would be minimum.

Pair of 27” 1080p monitors with real gsynch would be my bet.  Could go 144hz but might not hit it very often.  Might not hit 120hz very often. The 1070ti isn’t really a 4k card.  Even 2k might be a bit hefty for it sometimes. 2x 1080p@60 might be leaving gpu on the table. There’s enough budget for some extra refresh. Maybe get 144hz just in case you update sooner than you think and want to keep the monitors.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
