but I need a good monitor. I'm not sure what to go for, with a budget between $300-$375. preferably 27"+ but could drop to 24, in special cases.
I've heard that;
high refresh rates for competitive gaming.
High resolution for the immersions and what not.
granted I'm not the most competitive gamer although I'd like my monitor to be responsive.
Ran into a view monitors that were 2560x1080, 21:9. I kinda like them but they're very pricey. Also I'm unsure how responsive and the quality level they produce.
I know the gpu I'm using can easily handle 2560x1440 so that would be nice to have amonitor like that, but if not I'd go with a 1920x1080
Personally id go with an ips high res Monitor, the responsiveness is fine and the colours just look super nice.
With your budged that would mean either getting an imported korean monitor or getting something like this, although it would flex your budged a bit.
That would be the picture quality route, if you want to go for performance/responsiveness you should consider a g-sinc monitor, this one should check most of your boxes.
What exactly is G sync? Haven't heard of it. I gently have laptop that's 18" n feel like I need way more screen room for gaming. Just don't want to over kill it
Most monitors have a 60 hz refresh rate, meaning that they will display a new image every 16,66 milliseconds. When rendering games individual images usually take different ammounts of time to render (except of course your system is strong enough to render any picture easily in under 16,66 milliseconds if you run at 60 fps), causing partially rendered pictures to be displayed.
What g-sync does is allow your monitor to only refresh when a new image is ready, in practice this eliminates screen tearing and allows for smoother gameplay at comparativiely lower fps - works only with Nvidia gpus (for amd gpus its called freesync).
Still, if more screen estate is your main goal you should probably go with a large IPS/PLS monitor.
not sure about the technical specs of it compared to the one you showed me. What's your thoughts of the one I found and incomparison to the one you showed me
