I'm looking at buying a new monitor, mostly for watching movies (not really into gaming) and was looking at both ASUS and Samsung 32" monitors. They both come with 2560x1440 displays, however some people say that a GTX 760 can't handle that (I should clarify and mention that I'm running dual GTX 760S). Can anyone help me out here and provide some personal experience into this matter?
I used to run a 1440p monitor with a single 660 ti, you should be fine.
For not gaming that is plenty you have nothing to fear. Though if you are not gaming why SLi 760?
You can run a 4k display with that GPU

but why a 32" 1440p display? if your focus is movies, most are 1080p at best, 1440p is going to be rather pointless
and why do you have dual 760s if your display already isn't 1440p or above?

For movies it might be worth looking into a ultrawide 1080p display.
I don't have time to game. I work 12+ hour days and I have two young kids. At the time this computer was built, things were slightly different

If you can afford it, go for a 4K since you will be watching movies. The fact that 1080p doesn't scale exactly to 1440p is noticeable to me (27" Dell) when sitting at my desk (~1.5ft away).
Well clearly the solution is getting rid of the kids.
in any case, I'd just get a TV ya, possibly a 4k TV for when more 4k content is produced, and 1080p scales a lot better with 4k compared to 1440p
Although I take it you already have an audio set up?
I asked my wife about selling the kids...apparently her sense of humor has taken a vacation.
As for using a 4k tv, wouldn't it have the same issue as a normal HD TV: the text being ultra blurry?
It has 4 times the pixels so not really, a 40" 4k display has the same ppi as a 20" 1080p display being around 100 ppi
You should be fine. TVs usually have an input lag though compared to monitors.
I'll looks into it. Thanks
So did you already have an audio set up? because naturally you'd need one with a PC monitor
TV's have input lag due to the TV tuner on them needed to recieve so many input types.
This one's nice, but expensive at $1200, so ya maybe stick to the 40" 4k korean displays around $500
I play GTA V on mostly Ultra settings in 1440p with a single 4GB 760. You'll be fine
be careful with the 1440p 32" amva panels they have lots of motion blur, the overdrive setting introduces a lot of overshoot and reverse ghosting.
can confirm 760gtx is mostly fine @ 1440p , surprisingly so.
I do have an audio setup. Nothing magnificent, but it gets the job done
just need a monitor then, any of the korean 40" ones should be fine, they're around $500
I used to game with a single 2GB 760 on my 4k monitor.. The blower would scream like hell in GTA V and modded Skyrim, but it would do it. You'll be fine with 1440p for videos and such.
