To round out our guide, no PC gamer?s setup is complete without a proper window into their virtual world. ?Forget 1080P. Forget 2ms refresh rates. Forget 10,000,000:1 contrast ratios. ?The only thing that matters are these three letters: IPS. ?In-Plane Switching is a method of LCD panel creation that keeps the refresh rates high enough while producing accurate colors and increases viewing angles substantially. ?There?s a reason that for the longest time, die-hard gamers refused to switch to LCD screens from their beloved CRT flattrons. ?The color and refresh rates on those ?old-school? monitors were too much to let go. ?But now in 2012, LCD monitors have come far enough that you can almost replicate that same feeling of a CRT but in an LCD package. ?There are many companies that make a quality 27? IPS panel monitor but none more accessible in North America (and this includes Canada) than Dell. ?You get free shipping, fast delivery, solid warranty coverage, and tech support if you need it. ?But you also get one of the best 27? monitors money can buy. ?The U2711 packs in a rotatable, height adjustable stand and includes all the connections you might ever need (HDMI, 2x DVI-D, Displayport, VGA, Component, Composit, 4x USB ports, and a card reader!) The 27? screen offers up a resolution of 2560 x 1440, that?s 1440P and with a 6ms response time, games will work just fine. ?What you?re really going to notice after you get over the glitz is the colors. ?Reds look red, blues look blue, and greens, well, you get the idea. ?There?s no calibration need unless you?re a professional photographer, in which case calibration is slight. ?But for most users, unbox and plug it in and get ready to be wowed. ?While the price at $700-800 is nearing TV prices, you can?t really compare the two. ?A good monitor will last you years and do wonders for your experience. ?Where you have to buy a few cheap monitors over a few years and suffer through subpar performance, I suggest investing in a good, solid quality, LCD such as this and be ever thankful you did.
