What size/resolution.

[Joshua96]

Hey guys. 

 

So im planning on buying a new monitor(s) for my MacBook and future pc. 

 

Im looking at sell monitors at the moment but the size and resolution is what is important to me. 

 

All prices are in australian dollars. 

 

Im looking at three options. 

 

1. 2x 24" 1080p monitors. $620

2. 1x 25" 1440p monitor. $440

3. 1x 27" 1440p monitor. $600

 

i want to use them for university work (eg two windows open at once) and some future light gaming. 

 

What would be be the best bang for buck and what would give me acceptable screen real estate for two programs open? 

 

I'm swaying towards the 27" as I've heard it's the sweet spot for 1440p and it's nice and big. 

 

Thanks all.

Once you go 27" / 1440p you never go back.

Even more true with 120+ Hz refresh rates.

What specific 1440p monitor is that for $600? The only one I know that's that expensive is an asus one with gsync. And there are cheaper options for the same thing almost, just different brands.

It's the dell u2715h. Remember it is in Australian dollars so is quite high. What are similar models you recommend, taking into account that the dell monitor is preferred due to its design, thin border, screen quality and inputs. 

 

Thanks.

I would go for the 3rd option or an ultrawide one, the bigger the better.
