I've currently got 3 Dell u2412m's they are 24'' 1920x1200 res monitors. 

I mainly do photo editing and gaming on the rig these will be used with, which is my signature rig. 

 

The only real requirements is they have to be under 50lb each and maximum of 27''. 

 

Preferred price is $1,600 for all 3 of them.

$2,000 Max

 

Thanks

i'd recommend 1-2 higher quality ones as opposed to 3 poopy ones

I'd prefer 3 of them if I really have to I can spend $2,000.

a top of the line monitor will cost approx 1000, if you get 2 you can have a great monitor like the acer xb270hu with 144hz, ips, and gsync, (i know it';s great cuz i have it)

 

and another 1440p 27inch 60hz monitor for companion. you end up spending 1500 ish

Well how do you like the U2715H? It is not perfect, but very good. If you want crazy color accuracy, that will blow up your budget. 

But that monitor is close, it is IPS and 1440p. Probably what I would get.

 

around 450$ on amazon

Ultimately I just want new monitors, I've had these for years. It doesn't have to be amazing just better than my current ones.

Well they are good. That is for sure. I am actually going to buy the 25" version of that as soon as I get back to Germany. I have spend a lot of time reading about the two monitors and really, when it comes price/performance they are great. Fairly cheap 1440p IPS monitors. What more can you want? Response times are definitely enough for gaming, unless you do it competetively. I myself don't mind "only" 60Hz. Stands are great....though I am assuming you might have a monitor stand for three....

Not really competitively, the only multiplayer game I play is Diablo 3. The rest I just rock single player lol

 

I kinda care about frame rate but I think my rig can handle it lol

1300$ Acer x34 - 34inch, IPS, 3440x1440, 100hz, gsync

 

get that instead... will be lightyears more enjoyable than a super streatched picture, sides of which you dont see... with bezels in your face... on 60hz and no gsync............. really whats the point in your expensive system if you gona gimp it?

 

oh and sell off your current monitors for cheap... keep the best looking one as an analog monitor
