Re: I fancy getting a 27 inch monitor
I have a 27" AOC monitor actually the same one as Rob and it's perfectly fine for gaming.

It runs at 1080p 60hz in Windows and some games, but if the game allows you to change the refresh rate of the monitor then you can set the games to 75hz and it just feels alot better and smoother.

The 120hz or 144hz monitors are really good but, do take a decent graphics card to drive them at that refresh rate.

IPS panels are good for colour correction work etc and do have some input lag for gaming but they can be, used for gaming quite easily.

TN panels have slightly lower viewing angles compared to a IPS screen but have practically no input lag and are not as good for colour correction work, but they are better for gaming than IPS panels.

I will be replacing my monitor at some point in the next 12 months but it will be for a 4K monitor as hopefully, within the next 12 months the Gsync 4K monitors will be out.
