Monitor Recommendations Needed

[phengv18]

Hello all,

I have recently just put together a new rig with an i5 4570k cpu and the asus gtx 760 graphics card and am in need of some recommendations for a Monitor. My system will be used for watching movies, moderate gaming, and video editing. I'm not too big into gaming yet but would like a good monitor if I choose to play a few games.

I've been searching around and am looking for a monitor that is 25inch and up with a fairly thin bezel, Led Screen. I'm looking to spend no more than $450 on a single monitor. And if you guys think it's better to pay $450 for a dual monitor setup, what would you suggest?

I have also been considering getting a 30-42 inch LED Tv for gaming and then just have an monitor for general computer use and am wondering if that is a good move instead?

Don't buy a TV for your monitor. The ASUS VG278HE http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00906HM6K is a great gaming monitor and under $450. I wouldn't advise going with two monitors but just a quality single monitor.

I am using the Samsung un32eh5000 TV. It is a 32 inch tv and I have been extremely impressed with picture quality. Even during gaming I don't notice ghosting. My usage of the PC is pretty well similar to yours I bought it based off of a website I found (which I cant seem to locate anywhere now) which listed lag times for TVs and monitors. It was one of the very best for TVs and the monitors that tested better than it were either much smaller or extremely out of my budget.
