everything looks smaller at the higher res.
on my 1080 screen i often zoom in on the page to 125% just to make reading easier.

i always have thecoli at 125% zoom.
Nah it's just "smaller", it looks cleaner. I went from a 39inch tv to a 29inc monitor . I love it. I don't know if I will keep it though... I want a biggger one.

So is a AMD A10 APU still a better option for gaming than a Intel CPU with a integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics?
what APU are you looking at? Chances are an AMD 860K + a $100-$120 will smoke even the Kaveri.

go Intel, even the anniversary Pentium performs on par with the 860K. You also have the upgrade path to a sexy i7 after that.

my 1080 is 23" diagonal...just measured it.
i game at my desk and my desk *could* accommodate a 32" at max if i pushed it back farther but i think that would be overkill.

27" is probably the biggest i would go with my setup.

Breh go for it then. Get a 29 inch. I think I'm gonna sell my TV and then get a 32inch 1440P monitor. shyt is too crispy breh. I thought it'd be negligible or w/e but as soon as I hooked that display port cable into the monitor it was a wrap.. I then set up the brightness, clear text and screen text and it was good from there. Batman looked really good.

1440p really is that much better. I highly recommend it.

1440p is a big upgrade, but at this point I would wait for 4k monitors with an IPS or better screen and Freesync/G-Sync

i'm happy with my 1080 res...what i would like to know about is my max FPS.

if my monitor 60 hz...so if my GPU is getting 60+ am i really seeing it?
