Monitor / screen resolution / gaming? questions
Alright, I admit it's been quite a while since I was in the market for anything like this, so...the last monitors I bought were 27" 1920x1080 screens and they were pretty much the top of the heap, if that tells you when that was... ![Stick Out Tongue](images/smilies/tongue.png)
I'm trying to figure out what kind of screen I want to use as a monitor for the "gaming" computer I'm going to put in the living room. Kat really wants a computer at home again to game on, (she has a Surface Pro 3 for school stuff), and got the OK from the Mrs. to bring one of the rigs home (I have all 5 of the 3930K rigs at the office right now).
How much of a graphics card does it take to run a moderately demanding game at 4K these days? - like the latest Tomb Raider or Counter Strike CS:GO are a couple that Kat likes to play.
Is there much of a difference in what you see on the screen at 4K vs 1920x1080 screens? I've honestly never used or even seen a 4K screen, I don't think.
Is there any reason I couldn't just use a medium size - like thinking anywhere from 35 - 45"? 4K LCD TV screen for this? Might be kind of nice in the living room, just thinking out loud there...or should I just go get another 27" 1920x1080 screen for a pittance these days and call it good? Can't believe how low the prices are on them compared to when I bought the couple I have at the office right now. But then, makes me wonder just how much better a big - 32" plus - 4K screen might be?
Thanks for any thoughts on this!
