Okay so I'm moving out!

Need a display watch movies/browse etc no gaming. I have a dell e5430 which I was planning to use for the same.

Currently I'm on a 27" 1440p display powered by R9 270x, I was thinking of taking the display with me and selling the card.

Unfortunately from what I've read I don't think my laptop can out 1440p -60hz via HDMI to DVI D (can it?)
Hence the conundrum, I wanted to buy a new korean 1440p for home and take the old one with me.

But if my lappy doesnt support 1440p what are my options?
1. Buy a new 1440p for home and take my old one with me.
Use 1080p on a native 1440p? I think itll look shit? - 20k approx

2. Buy a new TV for myself - again 32-40" 1080p - 20-25k approx
3. Buy a new monitor for myself - 27" 1080p? - 16k approx
 
depends on viewing distance. 1080 p is only good more than 6 feet away.
If you are sitting closer than that, get a 2k or 4k monitor. you wont regret it.
 
TV is designed for distance viewing whereas Monitors are designed for near-field viewing. Accordingly TV is brighter. So decide depending on viewing distance.
