I would like to move to a larger monitor.

It has been pointed out that if I want the 25-27" range, that I want at least 2560x1440 which is ok since my card can support 2560x16something.

I now understand the contrasts ratios, but now I need help. For this size screen

what Hz refresh rate should I look for?
what cd/m2 nit should I look for
is there anything else I need to consider or have I finally got them all?

thanks
 
I appreciate the help. However, this video plays and says one thing, the video that follows says another, and the video that followed that said something even different and they seem to contradict each other.

It is just flying over my head.

Can you all tell me:

If you want the best or good movie/game quality experience on a 25-27" lcd monitor,

What Hz refresh rate will you look for?

What cd/m2 nit will you look for?

and besides contrast ratios, which i believe i now understand, is there other stuff i should consider?

What are you all using?
