Hello everyone.
I have finally decided to upgrade to a bigger monitor and please my eyes. Not 100% sure though. Only 99%.
Upgrading not for gaming, but for everything else. Movies, general usage, etc.
My setup cant game at 1080p plus 1080p requires a beefy GPU, not a mid-end like mine. Not that it matters. I am/have planing/planned to game at 1600x900, which is perfectly reasonable, even if it wont be native resolution.
I planned for 27" but not enough models available plus they are extremely expensive in my country. 100$ and + more expensive (Edit: Compared to Newegg ). Only 24" and below are properly priced.
As you may know, higher the hertz, the better. Now, my current monitor can go to maximum 75 hertz at 1400x900. If you remember your CRT days, you would know how you could have higher refresh rates as you reduced resolution. Fun days.
My monitor can go to maximum 75, even at 800x600.
All I want to know is what your 24"/1080p display can achieve at 1600x900?. That is all I want to know.
Thank You.
