Hi,
I'm looking for a monitor and have been struggling to find one that fits the bill. The monitor is to be used as a general purpose display for PC and console gaming as well as watching movies, web browsing etc.
Ideally I'd like a 27", 1920x1080, flat, IPS panel, with height adjustable stand (or one that sits low as possible) with response time/input lag suitable for gaming and (again, ideally) 24p support (for Blu-ray playback).
I realise there may not be something that ticks all the boxes so am willing to make sacrifices. I've only ever used TN panels and would like to experience the superior colour reproduction and viewing angles of an IPS but still need it to be quick enough for gaming. Alternatively, a TN panel with good picture quality would be OK (I currently own an XL2420T and find the image quality to be acceptable after setting to taste).
I want a 1920x1080 monitor as I'm not ready to make the jump to UHD or WQHD as most of the media I watch and many of the games I play are 1080p or lower and more than half the time I'm sat about 5-6 foot away.
I own a PC, PS3 and regular PS4 (not the Pro). In the case of PC, I like having sufficient performance/performance to spare without having to drop settings on the vast majority of games. With PS4, I don't want to add artifacts or additional input lag by upscaling. PS3 is upscaled with my current display already, but I imagine upscaling to WQHD or UHD probably adds more input lag/artifacting than upscaling to 1920x1080. I don't have a UHD Blu-ray player and the internet in my area isn't particularly great so 4K streaming can wait until my ISP pull their finger out of their backsides.
My budget is pretty flexible.
Any help would be appreciated
Edit: Should probably note: 27" is required, as is a stand that either sits low to the desk or is adjustable.
