I upgraded my PC recently and I am looking to upgrade my 22" monitor. My price range is up to $400 and I am torn between getting a 24-25" screen or a larger 27" screen at the cost of image quality. I have never played games on a 27" and don't know how bad the picture quality will drop over those extra few inches at 1080p. Anyone got any suggestions for a decent monitor in my price range?

Looks good but is the 6ms good enough for gaming? Do you think i can find one under $400 in Australia?

since you already have a 22" you might as well get a 27". a 24" wont be much of an upgrade for you. now if you want a 23-24" 3D display thats a different story. there are a lot of great 27" displays in your price range on new egg. i usually stick with asus, acer or viewsonic

Anyone know about these? Seem to get pretty good reviews and considering I don't want the quality loss of a 27" and 24" might not be much of an upgrade maybe this one will suit me, but there is a 27" version of the monitor too.

Don't look at the inches, look at the res.

Get a 1920x1200 monitor. It is a huge upgrade over 1920x1080

And its a junk TN panel for $400, really?

The 6ms won't be noticeable with u2410.
