Check out a iMac screen and you'll understand why
My last monitor was a dell 2405 that i bought 7 years ago for about a thousand dollars, a good monitor will far outlast any other computer purchase you can make, with the exception of a good case.
i didnt mean in terms of physical death, more in terms of usability. I dont think any video cards/motherboards/cpus ect would even be worth using today, outside of a very basic web machine. Whereas that monitor is still pretty damned nice, and i wouldnt have even bothered replacing it except for the fantastic deal the catleaps are.
I mean, my opty 165 and 7800gtx were beastly for gaming back then, but im not sure i could handle trying to game with 256megs of vram today.

Agree entirely.... I love my Silverstone TJ08-E case..... I'm hoping I love this screen as much
Will definitely leave feedback here once I receive it so you know whether its worth going ahead with. To me the price made with worthwhile. I cannot justify spending $800 for a 27" screen, and if this will look just as good then I'm getting a bargain. It's like getting a 60% discount
Nah, the electronic part will be whatever is cheap. The screen is the important part. I've still not had anyone explain to me why 100hz is better than 60hz anyway. So long as there's no ghosting I don't care, and from what I've heard these are fine at 60Hz so I don't really have any intention of overclocking it. I'm hoping I don't even have to worry about colour profiles even.
60hz refresh rate means you are capped at 60 visible fps in games, with 100hz the visible cap is 100. The argument is that in a first person shooter 60 isnt enough to be competitive, and a good sniper needs 90-120. As im am o nm ly average at best in shooters, this doesnt concern me, and I dont care that I wont ever see more than 60 fps, because if I can maintain 60, its more than enough for me to lose myself in a good game without being irritated by jerkiness.
