Really love the thin bezels, and how it is height adjustable, and you can put it in protrait mode (awesome for coding). Everything about this is perfect, only con is that its 8 MS RESPONSE TIME

I can't speak to the aoc, the dell ultrasharp is the same monitor I'm using. I've been really happy with it and was worried about the 8ms response as well but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. There's some motion blur, for instance when playing skyrim if you're in first person view and swing the camera in wide sweeps left or right or spin 360 it's much more noticeable than if moving slightly. It's not so bad as to make me miss shots that I've noticed but I don't play games professionally or anything.

The bezel on the dell looks non existent when the monitor is off or with a black background, the physical screen is only surrounded by around 1/16" of plastic if that around the sides and top. Realistically the viewable screen is inset some so there's around 1/4" of border that remains black around it. Still a thin bezel, just keep in mind if looking to use it with another monitor side by side there will be around 1/2" of border in the middle. Not sure if that's a deal breaker for you, it wasn't for me. The colors are great on the dell. It also has a solid base which may or may not be an issue during gaming. Sometimes thin or precarious stands contribute to a bit more screen wobble.

the motion blur, how noticeable is it? if i play battle field 4 or something, will it b a problem? are there any noticeable differences between 5ms and 8ms?

I'm not sure, I've not tested them extensively. Motion blur wasn't a problem with my previous crt. I've used plenty of flat panels in the past but in office settings not gaming scenarios. I don't play bf4, I play crysis, farcry, cod ghosts, fallout etc without any issues.

Something the dell has going for it is low input lag so it's a pretty responsive monitor despite the somewhat high screen response times. The dell has a lag input response of around 4ms (1/4 of a frame) while the aoc is slightly higher at 4.89ms (1/3 of a frame). Both are decent, the dell slightly better in that regard. Input lag can be a bummer if it's relatively high regarding fps shooter games, you want the response from the mouse to the screen to be on point.

Both screens use dc backlighting rather than pwm lighting so there's no flicker. I don't know if these will help you or not but 2 more in depth reviews of the monitors, both the dell and aoc.
