If you really want a 27" monitor, then I think you'll better with a higher resolution screen. After all, if you have a big monitor with a small resolution, the pixels will have to be bigger to fill it, so you'll see them more easily, which will be bad for games (for the jaggies and all that, you'll have to use more AA). As for PLS vs TN, a PLS panel is similar to an IPS one so the differences should be the same as between an IPS vs a TN panel : IPS/PLS has better colours and viewing angles (if you move left and right or up and down you still see the same colours while in TN panels they become more washed out), while TN panels have lower latency and are cheaper. Does it has to be ASUS? I'm curious because there are many other options (Dell, HP, Samsung, etc). |
Okay, but about res... isn't it a huge benefit to run games in native resolution? If I run a game in say 1680x1050 on my current 1920x1080 screen it looks blurry, washed out and looks like shit. And 2560x1440 demands almost twice the rendering power than 1920x1080 does, so it will be taxing no matter which GPU I choose (especially for upcoming, next gen games like Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition). I plan to play some older but demanding games too, like a heavily modded Oblivion for example, and that doesn't even support 2560x1440 I think.
All in all 1920x1080 will probably remain my prefered resolution in nearly all games, so how would that look on a 2560x1440 moniter?
I like ASUS as a brand, so I listed comparable screens from them, but it could also be a Samsung. I don't trust HP or Dell, not sure why, but I associate them with poor quality.
