Im starting a fund to raise money for a monitor for Christmas. My wife is getting my current monitor for her computer, an LG L226W. Its a really nice monitor, but Im pushing it with an MSI GTX 580 and can see tearing. I know my monitor is getting abused by this card and want to upgrade. She loves this monitor and we decided this would be the best decision.
I really want something in the 27" range. I have been looking at Hanns-G HL272HPB Black 27" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LED Monitor. It runs at 75Hz and is a great company from reputation. I really like the price and could see myself getting another one down the road if the price stays the same. I have seen them in person at Staples, and like the color. Does anyone have first hand experience with these?
I have also been looking at ASUS VG278HE Black 27" 2ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor. Running at 144Hz. The down side to this is the price. Its way past what I would want to spend, but then again, it is a few months way still. I love the Hz on this monitor. I'm currently running 1680x1050. Max resolution on this monitor. So jumping to 1080p should be noticeable. I should also notice a huge jump in FPS. I would mount it to the back of the desk shelf. I like to sit back at my desk and think it would look amazing. Any 27" really.
I should probably explain what I like to do. I'm an avid BF3 player. LOVE L4D2 Multi tank. So Constant mayhem. I play CS:S off and on if bored. I like FPS, but like Diablo games. Ill play almost anything. I don't like buying games and I don't steal, so when I buy a game, I really get into it. Which is why I play L4D2, and BF3 almost exclusively.
So any suggestion about monitor choices would be appreciated. Even in different sizes to achieve what im after. NOTHING under 75Hz please.
