What to ask for the holidays

ConiferousJelly

Hi Everyone,

 

Ever since I built my new PC I decided I wanted to ask for a 1440p monitor and stand for the holidays. My issue is, I don't know which one. I will have this one as my main monitor and to the side I will have my Samsung S27D590C 27inch curved monitor. I would like it to not break the bank too much, have a VESA mount so I can put it on a stand with my current monitor, and be at least 27inches. Can anyone make some suggestions?

 

Thanks,

ConiferousJelly

You can get a good 4k one for the same price.

Please suggest, and how would that fair with a GTX 1070?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236690 a great monitor. The 1070 fairs well in most games med, otherwise you can just run at 1080p/1440p if you need.

Yeah but its 23.6inches which would be tiny next to my 27inch monitor. Updated the thread to ask for 27inch+ models.

PB278Q is usually pretty solid.

That's a good point, just want to have something that matches the bigger screen lol. Thanks for the suggestion though :)

Any other reccomendations? Also, would this one be good for gaming?

It's a monitor, of course if will be good for gaming. I have the PB258Q and it's a solid line of monitors.
