So I'm planning on upgrading my PC in a couple months (from FX-6300 and R9 270x, to i7 5820k and GTX 1080 along with everything required) and I'm also looking to upgrade my monitor setup.
I've currently got an old 27" 1080i TV (looks terrible), and a little ??" 1280x1024 square monitor as a secondary. Those would absolutely not to a 1080 justice, and I'd like to actually not see in pixels for once.
So I was looking to get three ~23" screens.
I'd rather not go much over ~120-30$ per, since I'm getting 3, and most likely a vesa mount (small desk), as well as whatever adapters I'll need.
Don't care about Gsync (and I know I won't be getting it for this price)
Response time is important (I suppose?) I'm not sure what the time on my TV is (can't even find the product page anymore), but I imagine it's pretty bad. I do play FPS's like CS:GO, but nothing competitive (my response time is the limit for that), so it doesn't need to be the fastest.
Resolution doesn't need to be higher than 1080p (and probably shouldn't for optimal FPS playing on all 3), I haven't seen 1440 or 4k, so it's gooood enough for me (also I'm pretty sure there'll be nothing above 1080 at this price)
The thinner bezels the better, but it's not a huge selling point. For the most part, I'll just be gaming/etc on the main one, multitasking on the others, but I may do some surround gaming.
As for inputs, the 1080 I'm looking to get has 3 DP, 1 HDMI, and one DVI, so preferably ones with DP input, but adapters are fine as well.
I was looking at this monitor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWITHI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008DWITHI&linkCode=as2&tag=techriggstwo-20&linkId=XOL5S2764JD23E3G
Seems to have good reviews, and it's at a great price. Would this be pretty much the best screen for the price range?
