Right now I believe I am using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009145.When I do finally get a new computer I may pick http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-pb278q. Think the change from what I use now to what I may eventually get is overkill? Also if your curious as to my GPU, a 7970 with 3 GB of VRAM.

If you all wish to suggest other monitors fine but a few things:

- 23 - 27 inches (widescreen)

- At the very least the resolution should be 1080p

- DVI/VGA & HDMI

- I am colorblind (red-green), I don't know how much that would effect me being able to tell a difference between LED or not. Or TN/IPS

You should go with 1440p if you can at 27-inches, but note that it will be a hit in performance on your GPU compared to 1080p. And yes I believe being colorblind you will be able to still tell the difference of IPS over TN, especially in viewing angles

There are people on here who are knowledgeable about monitors, so I will let them offer you technical advice. But as far as size goes: I own a 27" and I can't imagine going back to anything smaller. I'd also recommend mounting your monitor on a wall if possible. It looks great and frees up desk space.

I think Dell make pretty amazing IPS monitors, but the 27" ones are pretty expensive. What kind of money were you looking at spending?

Hopefully less than $700 I'd think. I may play the games in 1080 but use the 1440 for other uses.

I'll assume you mean $700USD. For that you should be able to get one of those Dell 27" IPS monitors I mentioned.

Should definitely be able to get something like that for under $700 ... Bought my 55" LG 1080p HDTV that I use for my system for $800....

Exactly, I was gonna say the same idea. 27 inch is small, I couldn't imagine playing games on something that small.

I play games in 3D on the big screen, also DualPlay. Gotta love LG.

Gee, thanks, that cleared up everything. :rolleyes:

Massive pixels, it looks horrible once you're used to a higher DPI monitor (109 vs 82 DPI in this case, that's a 33% difference),

Honestly though, comparing a better monitor to your current one is the only way you'll notice this.

HDTV pixel pitch is horrible though, especially at 55", you aren't even talking about the same class of display as a true monitor.

1080p on anything larger than 24" is horrendous. even a 24" 1080p is pushing it.

Samsung Syncmaster 2494 here and is not bad. Yes, it could benefit with more Resolution, but since I use it for distant video and gaming I find it pretty amazing.

Now, regarding the post. Yeah, go 27" and 1440p.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
