I want to get a 27" monitor to use for 50% gaming, 50% general office/web use. I've narrowed it down to the HP2710m, Asus VEQ278q or Samsung2770hd. I know the Dell 27 ips is better but it's too expensive. Has anyone compared these monitors? I can't find them locally to see them before I purchase. Are they all about the same or does one stand out above the rest for some reason?
