Hey guys! I'm in the market for a new monitor. I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two (link above). I was just hoping for a little advice. I'm not particularly fond of TN panel monitors, but I hear they are better for gamers (which I am), and with a 1ms response time, it's hard to beat the Asus ROG Swift.

I'm currently using a IPS monitor, and love it. But the one I'm using has a 1ms response time too.

The problem I'm having, is that the monitor I am leaning towards (the Acer XB270HU) has a 4ms response time. Is this truly detrimental to gaming?

I play BF3, BF4, etc. literally every night on a monitor with 8ms response time. I don't have any problems, but how it compares to 1ms.... couldn't say.
