why do you need to upgrade it? she's clearly fine with what she has. unless you share the computer, in which you should rephrase this.

GENTLEMEN.

Today I am providing you with the beautiful honour of presenting you the most affordable 27-inch, IPS, 2560x1440 resolution screen in the world: The Crossover 27Q.



This monitor runs for only $350 for the non-swivelling model and $425 for the swivelling model. This is the most bang-for-buck monitor you will ever find. The Apple Cinema Display 27" costs $999. Dell and Asus models cost $800. This only costs loving $350.

It's Korean, and you can order it from Amazon and Ebay here:

I want a huge IPS monitor, but then my super overpriced stand I just bough would be a waste D: These are real first world problems.

EDIT: I would also need to SLI or get a new gpu since that's like 1.78 times as many pixels, which would be a big difference in fps.

[fawkes..]

Oh my, that is one lovely monitor.

[MackTheHunter]

I am honestly looking at selling my 3 monitors and buying 2 of those crossovers. They just look so good.

we need more budget builds

[Mr.jacksaunt]

Builds in the OP haven't really worked out and get outdated in a month or so.
If someone needs a build that works for their buck, they should ask.
