I have a 27" monitor and i use a vga cable but when i load a youtube video or pictures fullscreen it does not look 1080 so i was wonderring if i need to use a different display option like hdmi or something.

VGA is for 1080p and under, if your monitor is 1440p, go buy a DVI-D Dual Link cable.

And YouTube's video quality is shit.

So should i get a better monitor than?

You don't need to get a better monitor, just downsize to a 24" 1080p or 1200p monitor and everything will be a nice, crisp, high ppi paradise. You could also get a 1440p monitor, but you'd need to graphical grunt to run games on it in the first place.

A hdmi cable would be much better than a VGA cable.

But my monitor has speakers in it and i prefer to wear a headset, will it affect that?

Just use a DVI cable...no sound! Magic! ;)

Then by all means go for a 1440p monitor. Asus and Dell have some nice offerings. Keep in mind, these are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive. £400 in the UK. and between $600-$1000 depending on the model in the US. What hardware are you running?

If you use windows, then you can just disable the hdmi audio

Yo, what Graphics card are you running? Don't go rushing out to buy a 1440p monitor just because we said so. We need to analyse your build first ;) You'll need to be running at least a GTX 760 to play games at Low-Medium settings @ 1440p.
