Greetings.

Last week my 7 year old monitor stopped working. I'm considering buying a new one, but would need some guidance/questions answered as I know next to nothing about displays. The monitor I'm looking at is a Benq GL2450HM Full HD HDMI, primarily out of budget concerns. I would like to know the following:

1. Is it worth the money? It will be used for a variety of tasks, from editing documents to watching movies/browsing the internet and, also, gaming

2. Is it compatible with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 with 4 gigs of ram?

3. My old monitor used to have an optimal resolution of 1440x900. Games would run decently on it. I've only had problems with newer titles, such as Total War: Warhammer, Fallout 4 sometimes on higher settings. Will buying a new monitor with a higher resolution severely impact my performance given how the GTX 960 isn't the fastest video card out there?

I would appreciate any form of help and, in case I have forgotten any relevant detail, I will be more than happy to provide it.

Thanks in advance.

The price all monitors are tho this is slightly cheaper and is a little better for gaming: Asus VS248HR 24 inch 1 ms.

You would have no problem running any games on that display with the gtx 960, the gtx 960 is made for 1920 by 1080p gaming, and your performance will be impacted a little but not by anything more then 5 to 10 frames at the most.

Hope this helps
