    Deciding on a monitor to pair with a GTX 1080

    Between my Asus VC279H getting a cracked panel, my MSI R9 390 hitting it's limits on Fallout 4 at ultra and more recent games on high, and having no chance at getting a Vega 64 anywhere near MSRP, I decided to shell out for a MSI GTX 1080 during Labor Day sales and a new monitor at the same...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday GTX 970 and Benq XL2411Z

    I've seen early black friday sales of EVGA and MSI 970s drop to $299.99 after rebate, so IMO the lowest we may see a 970 on black friday or cyber monday is $279.99. I also would only recomend the SSC ACX 2.0+, or the FTW+ which I understand is the same plus a backplate. All the others were...

    It's been a while but I picked Baracubra's post as the answer because it was the most informative and helped me in my current search for a monitor. I've created a new thread here. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2863652/decide-benq-ew2750zl-mva-asus-vc279h-ips-monitor.html

    Can't decide between 27" 1080p or 24" 1920x1200 IPS monitor for Gaming under $200

    So I went to Best Buy yesterday and wasn't impressed by the 21:9 ultrawide monitors, but was impressed by the 27" monitors.
