Building my first desktop, needing a monitor:
#1 Gaming - (MMO>=RTS/RPG>FPS>rest)
#2 Netflix
#3 School (400+ page accounting spreadsheets FTW) along with std English essays
Doesn't HAVE to have the worlds fastest response time, I would like a decent STATIC contrast ratio, decent colors, decent blacks
Desk touches wall, wall to front of desk is 23.5 inches.
Desk to me is another ~3inches.
I'm not too sure what size would be best for this, was thinking something more like 22-24inch?*
~400$ budget can go over, would love to go under
I've read through some of the catleap monitor pages and a few others, am VERY interested in the idea of 1440p (can't afford 1600p) - However these are 27" and may be overwhelming for the space I have.
Planning to get a 680, along with an additional in SLI around a year or so down the line. However, if they don't come in stock soon I may wind up with a 7970 = P
Would a singular card RUN games @1440p at respectable levels? are is SLI a must for something like this off the bat? - also would said 1440p monitor look terrible when viewing movies? Would an additional monitor be needed to run just for movies? (planning to get an extra down the line for vent/web ect on the side during games *wouldn't have games extended over both*
*with a roughly 400$ budget, based on this what monitor would you get!!! - I do plan down the line to buy an additional monitor to run as an auxiliary (might even just pull an old 15" SD LCD and put it on the side of the desk) would just be for vent ect during games)
-said budget doesn't include extra monitor
-if were not talking a 1440p monitor don't feel required to spend all 400 as I'll just spend it in my WC loop, however if you think I should buy it - explain the benefits and I'll snag it up = P
