Buying new monitors

Go to solution Solved by Aligaterror,

I thought of that as well after posting. Any recommendations?

Asus PB278Q

Hey there.

I'm looking for oppinions. My current monitors are kind of crap and I want to buy new ones. The money is there. My only thing is, should I go 4K? 1080p is fine for me. I mostley do desktop work (includes video editing and web developement) and some gaming. Will I be amazed by 4K and is it worth the premium or should I just go with a great 1080p monitor.

I'm looking for a dual monitor setup. And will eventually buy a third one. I own a 780 Ti for graphics card.

If you recommend either 4k or 1080p, whitch monitor do you recommend?

Also, I have an eyesight problem (my left eye is almost completely blind) whitch makes me appiricate and realy see small details.

If I made spelling errors, sorry, English is not my native language. Feel free to correct me :)

Thanks in advance

Have you thought about 1440p? It's a good middle ground and perfect for the 780 Ti in my opinion.

Thanks. Looks nice. Will look at recommendations of others but I think I'm going the asus way :)

Great. I own it myself (as well as a 780 Ti) and I love it :)
