Looking to upgrade from my 32" LG TV, for playing PS4. I like to sit closer to the screen, therefore I decided 27" monitor.

Contrast ratio and all that other stuff is really beginning to drive me insane! The two I've been looking at are:

Samsung: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00UHAXAKK/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

Asus: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00A4K9KBQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1432809718&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=asus+27+monitor&dpPl=1&dpID=41JBh-SK%2BCL&ref=plSrch

Will I need a higher resolution monitor for PS4 gaming? And is Asus's 8 million to 1 contrast ratio just a marketing ploy?

Thanks, and sorry for the format of the post. From a mobile
