Hey everyone! I'm building a new PC and need your help deciding on a monitor. I'm coming from a 17" 60Hz laptop screen and I'm looking at two options:
1. Gigabyte GS25f2 - 25 inch, Full HD, 200Hz, HDMI 2.0
2. Acer Vero RS272 - 27 inch, Full HD, 100Hz, HDMI 1.4
They are both priced the same, but I'm torn. The Gigabyte seems more geared for gaming, but I'm wondering if the larger size of the Acer would enhance the gaming experience. What do you think?

I'd say go for the Gigabyte! The higher refresh rate and pixel density will give you a sharper image, especially since 1080p on a 27" can look pretty blurry. Plus, it has DisplayPort, which is definitely the way to go for gaming.
Totally feel you on this. A 27" 1080p monitor just doesn't cut it. If you're aiming for a great gaming experience, the 25" 200Hz will give you better clarity and smoother gameplay, especially for competitive games.
I appreciate the advice! I don't want to compromise on quality.
Consider what type of games you play! If you're into fast-paced competitive games, the 200Hz 25" is a solid pick for that buttery smooth performance. If you prefer bigger screens for casual gaming and content, the 27" might be worth it, but remember the potential blurriness at that resolution.
Thanks for the input! I was really unsure about the size jump from 17" to 27".
