Hi guys, here is a question which I trust will open up some form of discussion. What kind of monitor will you recommend?
In the left corner, we have a Dell U2713H monitor, 2560x1440 monitor capable of 10bit colors. It is however limited to 60Hz but is great for the colour quality (display of over 1billion colours) and basically, being a 25x14 monitor.
In the right corner, we have a range of different 1080 monitors, capable of faster refresh rates such as 120Hz, for instance the ASUS VG278H (or whatever Samsung has or anything).
Now, I have a fair idea about the differences, the pro's and con's of each of the two monitors. Faster refresh rates = cool for games, better colours / higher resolutions = cool for photo editing etc. Also bear in mind that most of the games I play tend to be slower paced (you youngsters will get old too) so having a massive refresh rate is not the be all and end all for me. Regarding the additional GPU power needed to run the extra resolution, don't worry about that. I should add that I do about 50:50 editing and gaming...
Now, I would like some opinions on which one whould you suggest or if you have an alternative suggestion which will it be?
So, talk to me oh wise ones...
PS: BTW, I've tested out a http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BUI44US/?tag=ufomonitors-20 monitor yesterday (friend asked me to "test" it till January) but I soon (as in within the first couple of minutes) noticed the monitor has a dead pixel on. A word of advise, if you have any form of OCD... do NOT get a monitor with a dead or stuck pixel on, it annoys the living crap out of you! Also, I am not that impressed with the colour range on it so will not be buying it.
