Hey all,
I have been looking into getting a 4k monitor for myself as a secondary monitor to go along with my Swift. Yes, I know it's probably weird, to the point of insanity, that I'd use a 1440p TN monitor as my main and a 4k as my secondary, but I'd like to keep my Desktop legible.
However, I am actually looking for a small (27" max) 4k screen, not a large one, because I want to keep the option of using 1080p resolution on the 4k open, 1080p @ 27" is already beyond what I am willing to accept after seeing 1440p.
The main functions of the said monitor are playing non-graphically demanding games, or games that do not rely on motion smoothness (for example, retro games, top down RPG's etc). and also act as a desktop extension and playing movies. It won't be my primary also because my 970's will be ill suited for that.
I would much prefer a IPS monitor as I already have a TN, and I do not believe TN has any advantages over IPS or VA at 60hz.
Currently I am eyeing Dell's P2415q and P2715q, though I am definitely looking at the former more. The other one I am looking for is NEC EA244UHD but I am not sure if I am willing do dish out almost twice the amount over the Dell's version, and it looks like the extra colors on that monitor will be completely lost for what I am going to use it for.
Anyone with either of the Dell monitors can share thoughts about it when used for gaming? I haven't look terribly deeply into 27 inchers because honestly, if I had the choice, I would much prefer 24", but if Dell's 24" is that bad, I will go 27", but that is the absolute maximum I am willing to go.
Also, are there any VA 4k Monitors? I do not believe I came across any of them.
I am all ears for any such monitors, I have no set budget for that, but $750 is most likely the most I am willing to pay for a such monitor,
Many thanks
