    New monitor time help.

    Hi I've been looking around at all the new 24" monitors and one 28" monitor a Hanns-G HG281DP 28" and i was thinking would the 28" one struggle when gaming? (my pc spec is in my system)
    I have a max budget of £300 and I'm not looking to upgrade my pc just yet but maybe in 6 months as i never see the point lol.

    Actually the Hanns G 28" used the same resolution as the 24" monitors (1900*1200) so it wouldnt put any extra strain on the gfx card. What this does mean however, is that the 24" would have a sharper picture due to the same number of pixels occupying a smaller space.

    Your current sli setup should be fine at that resolution for most current games, may have to turn down a few settings as newer games come out but that's always the case with pc hardware.

    Re: New monitor time help.

    I'd go for the 24" due to the higher pixel density. Or go for a happy medium and get a 26" with the same res.
