Hey folks,
I'm nearing the end of (re)building my PC, and have started to think about upgrading my monitor, as well - I just don't know if it's really worth it or not. Either that, or I know it's worth it and am starting to talk myself out of it, AFTER talking myself into thinking about it. Wild.
My system:
- Q6600 @ 2.4
- Gigabyte P35 Mobo
- 2GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS
- Currently a 7900GS but upgrading to an 8800GT (as soon as it's shipped)
I've had a Viewsonic 17" LCD 8ms for the past couple of years, and it's been nice enough - max resolution of 1280x1024, and it's done it's job, albeit in a workmanlike manner. With the new rig, though, I've been thinking about getting a new monitor. Something shiny and cool. And big (but not too big - or too pricey).
The caveat is that I use my PC for composing music - so more screen real estate is definitely a plus when working with big orchestral scores/movie clips for film/etc. So, it would be cool for more than just games. I'm just wondering what I should be looking at, and if it's worth it to upgrade from my current monitor - since I want a significantly better one for not too much money (looking at $150-250ish, maybe a bit more, depending).
Any suggestions?
