New Monitors Suggestion

[Verethy]

So Ill start off by saying what I have. A BenQ XL2420TE used as my main for gaming, and a Samsung S27A850T as my secondary. As nice as the BenQ is I have been gaming on the Samsung a bit more recently and am starting to prefer the resolution over the 144Hz (partly because I am playing less Bugfield 4 lately) and that led me to my issue.

 

I was first looking at getting 2 Dell U2713HM's, but then I started entertaining the idea of using a Dell U2913WM as my main gaming monitor and having a U2713HM as my secondary. This is where I am stuck, as I like the looks of 1440p gaming but in reality it is just an oversampled 1080p (I know not exactly, but for gameplay purposes). Where as the U2913WM gives you a better view, closer to an EyeFinity setup but wothout the ugly bezels.

 

So I'm just looking for some advice/suggestion on which route to go, even an alternate set if they are available down here in Australia. For the games I play I kind of slut myself out, but the main games at the moment are DayZ, Eve, Star Citizen (soon™), WoW and Battlefield 4. And one last thing, don't say adjust your FoV please. Because in Battlefield 4/DayZ you are actually putting yourself at a severe disadvantage if you do.

 

Thanks.

"In reality" It's more pixel per square inch, and i will ALWAYS look much sharper than 1080p. I don't get this logic.

I don't mean mean it in that context. What I mean is that you see the exact same image, just with more pixels.

Both yes and no. The image will always depend upon the monitors ability to show more details by having a larger resolution. The image at 800x600 would not have the same amount of detail on the screen as a 1080p and above, therefore changing the way you experience the image. IMO i can never go back to 1080p. Games at this res looks really amazing, and can't be compared to oversampled, full AA 1080p.

Just to clarify what I meant. This is 1080p and this is 1440p. Yes the second image is much clear (sand at the bottom of the screen the easiest to spot here) but you do not get a larger view.

I got a dell s2440l and am very satisfied by it, the IPS panel is fantastic, and at this price you can't beat it. It is 1080p though.

What game is that ? Does it support 1440 resolution ?

It's Battlefield 4, and yes it does.

 

I've changed my mind and am going to just go with 2 Dell U2713HM's with the outlook of 3x1 Portrait EyeFinity
