will the 27 look washed out at all, since im used to the same res on a smaller screen? I hadnt thought of that, how would it effect gaming. Im a bit of a graphic Nazi.

These large cheap monitors use TN panels. They are great for twitch gaming because of their very fast response rates. But their contrast (washed out look), color quality, and viewing angles are inferior to other panel technologies.
IPS panels on the other hand have the slowest response rates, though these days I don't think you'll see any lag with even IPS monitors now (never seen any with either of mine). IPS has the best contrast, color quality, and viewing angles.
Naturally though, quality costs more. IPS monitors generally cost twice as much as TN monitors. And you also don't normally see smaller resolutions put onto bigger screens like TN monitors. So you may not find a 1080P IPS panel in a 27 inch screen.
1920x1200 24 inch Dell U2410 for example (a highly recommended IPS monitor) will cost about $500.

A 27 inch Dell IPS goes for $1,000, and their latest 30 inch is $1,500.
