So, right now I have a Acer AL2216W.
It's "okay" I guess. 22inch, bright, still no dead pixels, 1680 resolution.
Anyway, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade a perfectly good monitor. I'm currently building a new computer, upgrading from a Pentium 4 build I did six years ago to a i5 2500k build sporting a brand new Nvidia 560 ti. I'm going to be using this computer for gaming mostly, schoolwork after that, possibly some light photo editing.
An IPS monitor is out of the question, IF I upgrade, it's probably going to be something in the vein of a 23 or 24 inch LED backlit, 1920x1080 monitor.
So, do you guys think it would be worth the upgrade, spending $200 on a new monitor to go along with my new PC? I'm on a budget, and I'm trying to save cash where I can... but... it seems like a crime to build a brand new $1200.00 PC and not run it at 1920x1080.
What are your thoughts? Thanks guys!
