I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I have been monitoring this site for a couple months and have learned a lot in a short time. I am retired and getting bored, my interests include landscape photography, birds, pets and to develop other interests as I grow.

I am about to invest in a new camera body (NIKON D7100) and a couple kit zoom lenses (18-140mm and 55-300mm)

I want to learn post processing software but I only want to do it once so I am going with Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements 13.

Next I need to replace my desktop computer, which is long overdue. So I went with some of the recommendation from this site. Intel i7 cpu, 16MB memory expandable to 32MB, SSD drive and 2TB hard drive.

Now I need to choose a new monitor. Is there anything specific that I need to look for. How important is resolution. Any help would be appreciated.
