So for the last 6 months i have been thinking of buying a new monitor, only because my current monitor is around 7-8 years, benq e2400hd http://www.trustedreviews.com/BenQ-E2400HD-24in-Full-HD-Monitor-review-feature-table-page-3#tr-review-summary

 

and i am wondering if i can get a better looking image by buying a new monitor. I am perfectly happy with 1080p, i currently dont have the horsepower to drive 1440p for very long, so no real reason to go for that.

 

My benq is a TN 24 inch lcd monitor from 2008. So as for an upgrade i was thinking the 27 inch, led, IPS Asus mx279h from 2012. Because i like thin bezels, its IPS and the larger screen should probably give better immersion in games.

 

either that or the 24 inch eizo flexscan ev2450. its 24 inch, and also ips. Very thin bezels. i think from 2014

 

the reason i never end up buying anything, when thinking about this, is that i fear it will end up looking the same as the monitor it should be replacing.

 

so i am asking, will it look the same, if i am not upgrading resolution and i am primarily using it for gaming and internett?

Id get this in your place:

 

http://www.microcenter.com/product/445399/29UM67_29_UltraWide_219_Full_HD_FreeSync_LED_Monitor

 

Will be fucking awesome for gaming... you`ll rediscover gaming all over again actually, with a widescreen IPS, not to mention that 75hz and freesync.

Nothing can beat that 300$ price it has.

 

And productivity is gona be sick too... not just cuz IPS, anything with editing or a timeline will be ENJOYABLE to work with.

 

 

 

if you are gaming then a TN panel would be better because it has a lower response time

if you are doing professional works then IPS would be better for its image quality and viewing angle

Literally the first section of the misconceptions sticky will explain to you how the advertised response times are pure fucking bullshit and can be ignored entirely.

ye, freesync is amd... and it doesnt work on all amd cards even (doesnt work on anything sub250 + 250s, 270s, 280s, 370s and doesnt work on any APU`s pre 7000 series)

 

i suggest you look around for the 29um67 though... its relatively new, maybe not widespread in your country yet

 

also, its worth to get it even if you have nvidia.... when you upgrade your next video card you get amd and you`ll enjoy freesync...

the alternative is gsync monitor - but those start @ 800$
