Have a read of this story and the ultra settings etc. PS4 screens look to be holding their own pretty well to my old eyes - even in the comparison magnification tool thing.

I already have Windows 7 so there was no need to buy an O.S. I also bought the 32 inch BENQ BL3200BT 1440P Monitor for just over ?450. I wanted a larger 32 inch monitor as i sit quite far away from it. I figured the rig i bought will play any game i want at 1440p running at 60fps at ultra settings including Elite Dangerous, Project cars and nearly Star Citizen when they are released. I will also be using it for Nintendo Dolphin emulator and to rip my Blu Rays to the Hard drive and then convert them saving me having to swap disks constantly. I will try and upload some pictures when i get it.Last edited by Sam The Man; 14-10-2014, 03:09.

Thanks. I did have a look at both the LG models and the Samsung S32D850 before settling on the Benq. I don't think i have the room for the Ultrawide monitors on my table and the Samsung wasn't reviewed as well as the Benq which is why i didn't get any of those. I'm also not a heavy fps player and will mainly be playing RTS & Tactics games with mabee the odd FPS & Racer so the total display lag of around 21ms is fine for me.
