I love curves??

To my favourite dang chew toy, buy what you can afford, take no notice of reviews and gadgets, if possible actually look at one. I'm guessing on past experience you'll prefer 'big ones' but remember where it's got to go and how far you sit from it.

I found a nice curved Samsung one. Was wondering what specs would be good on one. But size doesn't always matter. Its all about the work of it and how it performs.

Would get one with at least a 144hz refresh rate! I think most gaming monitors do these days.

Monitors can be a pain and expensive trust me. Most people's monitors are normally 59/60hz I bought then a 144hz 24 inch few years back even though I had a 24 inch at 60hz. I just wanted the higher refresh rate.

Then I said fuck it I want a 2k monitor which is 27 inch at 1440p but of course I could of got a cheaper one at 60hz but I would of noticed a difference from 144hz so I splashed the cash which was way more expensive at the 144hz one.

Long story but short, you will stick with the same refresh rate or higher if you go above 60hz 

But in saying all that I think personally 27inch is the perfect size for a computer monitor even though I have the 24inch side by side I never use it.

Things not many people know is 1080p is actually only 24 inch's, so if you have a 70 inch TV for example and you watch a HD movie its 24 inches HD spread across you 70 inch TV

1440p is 27 inch and 4k is 32 inch in resolution
