Hey fellas, i have been thinking getting a external 27'' IPS screen to replace my laptop screen as the monitor.My laptop is a MSI GS70 Stealth Pro: https://us.msi.com/Notebook/GS70-Stealth-Pro-GTX-970M#hero-overview with a GTX 970M video card.

My question is: should i buy a 2k resolution or 1080p if my main purpose is to play video game like World of Warcraft and watch movie occasionally. I have been search for monitors and found the following ones appealing to me, i appreciate if you can gime some suggestions. My budget is $150-$300

AOC 2757fh IPS 1080p: http://us.aoc.com/products/details.php?27-ips-led-monitor&id=49
ASUS MX279H IPS 1080p: https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/MX279H/

No sure if i should consider QNIX 2710 which has a 2K resolution with a cheap price. Not sure if it has power adapter issue since it is a Korean monitor.

If you think 2K resolution is a better option, could you recommend me some options with reasonable price even if it exceed my budget a little bit.

 
Solution
Go 2k for sure. 1080P at 27 inch is too big for that resolution, if you have good eyes, there won't be that crispness you'll find with 2k.
