You would find it worth your money. Anything larger would be overkill. I have a 27" and I'm very happy but would have prefered a 30". Make sure its high Res!!!!

Once you move your head your missing part of the screen. Then ther's screen reseloution. the best you can do with a 1080p tv is 1920 x 1080 if you take the natural resolution of your game it would have to be expanded to fit so you lose alot of detail. Last I think the refresh rate for any signle pushed to a tv is 60 hertz ? thats real slow for gaming I'm sure your up over 80 so thats the scoop from me while I have my coffee Big screens great for watching tv not porn giant penises running amock is just b rate sci fi Awards

If you go beyond 28" your graphic card(s) will need to keep up with resolutions greater than 1600 X 1200. They just don't do as well over 1600 X 1200. In many cases you need dual or more video cards to drive such monitors. Refresh rates suffer as well. Market offerings with monitors greater or equal to 30 inches have double the refresh rates of the smaller monitors. Under the hood the monitor is actually driven the same way you would drive two seperate monitors, which extends the horizontal refresh rate by a factor of two.
