Hello, I'm looking to get a 27" monitor and my budget is around $300. I've found both the HannsG 28 Wide Monitor HH-281HPB or Sceptre 27" W Monitor HD X270W-1080P on sale at Costco for $299. I'm looking to use it for gaming, which would be the better of the two? Or if you know of a better monitor that you would recommend, please let me know. Thank you very much!
 
Both seem to be essentially the same. Obviously, you like a bigger monitor, so you might as well go with the HannsG, which is the slightly bigger of the two. If you're concerned about reliability, hopefully someone else can chime in here with some knowledge in that regard.
