ive always spend most of my money on the monitor. 150$ gpu is good enough to enjoy games, 100$ cpu, and everything else under 100$. my monitor is worth 750$, i got a IPS back when i had no idea that was good, i just wanted a 27" 1920x1200 monitor, and they were all about 1000$ then. it was like a whole new computer going from 1280x1024 to that, and just last year i was testing a 30" 2560x1600 for a friend who was getting it for xmas, and so i got to check for dead pixels by using it for a few weeks. and i really did not want to give it up. in WoW that 40% extra res really makes a life of difference, and cause the dot pitch is smaller i can pull it closer and have to turn my head to see the edges of the screen. Fallout3 was stuttering to hell, but ive never felt so immersed. would i pay 1000$ for one, no, but if they came down to 600$ i would have jumped on it quick. but honestly now with multi monitor setups, im just waiting for a no bezel, or practically no bezel screen to appear, and jump on 3 of them for some 3600x1920 goodness, for hopefully under 800$Originally Posted by saaya
back before eyefinity, there really was only one option and it was clear, 30" is the best, but now we have new options and they are much better priced options. and i think thats skewing the mentality
