I'm still using a Samsung 2232GW. What would be a good upgrade? Would an upgrade be worthwhile if I don't get 120hz?

I want OLED already!

I guess that depends on what screen size you'll be happy with. I had a 27-inch LCD and sold it to get a 24-inch LED. I'm very happy with the 24-inch screen and whenever I see a 27-inch in a shop, it looks massive and I almost can't believe I actually used one. The only reason I'd get a 27-inch again in the future was if it was a 3D screen.

Can't help you there. 23" has 1920x1080 and 20" is 1600x900 for the most part. Dunno if 22" is just 1680x1050.
Gaming screens are around 24" for 120-144hz and your looking at 6k.

the next monitor im going to buy for my PC is a 4k res TV

http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-49UB850V

its got one HDMI 2.0 port so it will do 4k at 60hz resolution (3840 x 2160) and i will upgrade my graphics card as well as i will need to upgrade my home cinema amplifier to include HDMI 2.0 at that time

this TV retails at R20k which is really cheap but i have been told that it will drop to around R15k by the end of the year and since im already using a 50" TV as a PC monitor this is just going to improve my resolution at approximately a similar size

im not interested in small tiny size monitors - they seem like toys to me nowadays even if you use multiple ones

Darn capitalist pig!

;)

Yep, jealousy makes me nasty. My trusty old Samsung 19" suffered a stroke and expired. So until I get paid this month, I'm back on my old 17" CRT...

Not fun.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
