I'm a perfectionist, but don't have enough money to buy a 1500 dollar monitor, so I am considering to buy one of these:
Dell U2711
HP ZR2740
Asus VG278H (120hz)
I am only going to use the monitor for gaming. Have a GTX 680, soon SLI. MOBO: Asus x79. CPU: i7-3820. Here is the dilemma. I hate microstuttering and ghosting, so a 120hz is nice in that regard, but I fear that I will get annoyed by the 1900x1080 resolution. And I know that I will look closely for reduced sharpness as a result of fewer pixels. I like to sit close to the monitor, especially when sniping, so do you think I will get too bothered by this, or is the Asus VG278H so good that the sacrifice of resolution is worth it?
Or will 680 SLI be able to run 2500x1400 in a way which is smooth, no microstuttering or microflimmering?
Let me stress that I am a perfectionist, though not completly obsessed by it. I'm pretty happy with my old HP w2408h, and after tweaking the colours of BENQ XL2420T I liked that one too. But found a dead pixel so returned the BENQ and still feel satisfied with the HP, though I could clearly see the difference between 60 and 120hz.
I will rather sacrifice some colour quality if it is necessary to experience a smooth gameplay, no microstuttering or microflimmering, on very high settings. But certainly don't like grainy pictures, so will not choose 1900x1080 if pixels are too large. What do you recommend?
