Well hello there tech report, since I'm finally about to finish my masters degree, I would like to get a new monitor for my home system, with a timeline set as soon as possible. This creates a bit a predicament, because I haven't performed monitor research in quite a few years, and even if I had, I probably still would not necessarily know what differentiates a solid monitor from a lousy one. I feel that 1440p is a reasonable resolution to look for, but I haven't the faintest clue what to really go with. Cost isn't necessarily the most important issue, but obviously, the less expensive, generally, the better. This monitor will primarily be used for gaming, followed closely by coding/scripting and reading/browsing. Freesync might be nice, but since I do not currently have a gpu that is able to support it, perhaps it is not a criteria I should specifically be looking for.
Anyone have any thoughts, are links to maybe point me in the right direction?
