Choosing a new monitor

Elendrill · Mar 23, 2013

Hi guys I am looking for a new monitor my specs are the following:
i5 2500k@4.3Ghz
AsRock p67extreme 4 gen 3
nvidia gtx 660ti
8gb kingston hyperX
600W corsair Gseries
1tb black drive
I am mainly playing games but not super hardcore, also watching movies and browsing.I am looking at some 27 inch ones because i would really want a screen thats bigger than normal.The models i like are:
Dell s2730l
Asus VE278Q
LG 27 IPS277L
I dont think I will notive the difference in response times since I am not so competitive in games(average gamer).I find the dell to be a little expensive but if its really better than the others I will get it.I cant tell you a prive range because I live in bulgaria and here hardware is insanely overpriced.It could be anything arround that price tag.
Thanks in advance!

The ASUS VE278Q 27 inch LED Widescreen Full HD 1080p with HDMI Display Port 2ms Response Time Looks to me the best buy considering your a Gamer.

Edit: found this review if your interested http://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/monitors/zardon/asus-ve278q-27-inch-monitor-review/

I'd agree go for the Asus VE278Q

I think with everything over 23" you start to pay a lot more for. I would look at the Asus 23" displays if you want to spend under $180. The Asus vh232h (5ms) or his faster brother the vh236h (2ms) are both pretty cheap and very highly rated. Lots of people seem to buy them for gaming.

The two dell 2312hm look good but i dont think they can ship them to bulgaria and if they do I am not really sure what am I going to do if they turn out to have some kind of problems.Also i read on the internet about some backlight bleeding on the asus but I am not sure if its really true.

I am now deciding between the VE278Q and two LGs
LG 27" IPS277L-BN
LG 27" E2742V-BN
I can get them for about the same price(a bit more)

Elendrill · Mar 25, 2013

Any recommendations?

I would probably go with the IPS one since it has the mobile link. Other than that they seem pretty close to each other. I read the feedback on Newegg even though both are no longer available in the US.

I really cant decide the LG 27" IPS277L-BN has is a bit more expensive but its ips and people say that there is some bleed on the left side and the asus has faster response times although i dont think I will notice it also some people complain about stuck and dead pixels as well as bleeding.

Elendrill :

I really don't know. I haven't seen these particular monitors and real reviews are scarce.

Dead pixels are possible on any monitor. Make sure you have a good return policy/ability

I think I will get the lg because the asus has a flimsy stand and some leak at the bottom.
