I want to get a new monitor and use my current 1080p screen as an auxilary display, I found a really cheap 2560x1440 monitor on ebay.

 

What are your thoughts?

Are there any better (same price or cheaper) monitors of this calibur?

eh... i hate to break it to you, but 2 k is 1080p, 1440p is 2,5 k

Nevermind. Sorry @coen113 - I was going off the top of my head...

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

No, 1080 is 1K. 4K is 4x higher resolution than 1080, hence the name 4K

1920*1080 is 1080p

3840*2160 is 4 k
