New Monitor.

Hi guys..

I found 3 monitors which i cant decide from. Two of them are 1920:1200 and one is 1920:1080. All of them are IPS/PLS panel types which is what I want

I play wow mainly plus a little FPS, and hopefully a lot of movies granted the picture quality of this panel technology.

Which one is best. Money is also a factor. Is 1920:1200 or ratio 16:10 the extra money worth thanks.

The first one is 1080, followed by two 1200.

Solution
16:9 is more a standard given console ports and movies are set for that aspect. If you didn't play games with a FOV set for 16:9 or watch movies then 16:10 for space if you needed it for work purposes.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've heard 16:10 is nice for games aswell, But as I read on the big internet the ratio 16:10 is old and was primarily used 4+ years back. The primary ratio is now the same as tv 16:9.

I was just wanted to know what was the better experience both gaming whise and browsing etc.
And what res that feels best in WoW, if anyone had experience with both these ratio

i dont have experience personally but forcing game resolutions that are designed for 16:9 to 16:10 can imagine the graphics be stretched an extra 120pixels and wont look as sharp.

Browsing websites wont be a problem as this will be forced natively to the screen resolution but viewing video files such as youtube will depend on the aspect ration it is recorded and if it doesn't match will result in possibly letterbox affect or stretched fat heads so to speak.

In WOW apparently is an option to set 1200p.

Just some people sharing experiences here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/930786-16-9-vs-16-10

I might go for the 16:10 ratio for the extra pixels. But ive heard that you GPU must be pretty strong. Is a GTX 760 strong enough for running ultra in games like wow with a res of 1920x1200 or 1080 for that matter?

Im gonna go with 16:10 then. My CPU is i5-3570 and it works fine in ultra as long as it is not 25-40 man raiding..
But thanks for the answers Boju.
