If you don't have the space (or the funds) for a 30-inch super-duper
high-res display, a 27-inch super-high-res monitor should be your second
choice. Here are the five best.
While most 27-inch monitors you'll find at your local Best Buy sport the perfectly capable resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels, there's a growing contingent of monitor enthusiasts, like myself, who understand the real reason for the existence of 27-inch displays.
If you've never seen a 27-inch monitor running at 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution, then you've yet to be touched by a particularly affecting higher power.
Also referred to as "extreme definition" or "XD," this branch of higher-tier monitors will melt your face and not look back. However, as much as the impressive resolution benefits all aspects of computing, it is in games that it provides a particular advantage.
Most modern games support the resolution and look stunning while doing so. Just remember, you'll need an equally capable graphics card to really take advantage.
The effect of seeing a modern game running at 2,560x1,440 pixels is...well, let's just say you won't want to settle for anything less, including the 50-inch 1080p HDTV your console is currently connected to.
Keep reading for details on the easiest way to ruin the console experience you're currently settling for. Also, check out the video above for just a taste of the power you're not ready for. It features the HP ZR2740W, which didn't make the Top 5, but for those on a budget, it's the one to get.
