Cheers!
While G-sync is nice and all. There's no way I'm going to leave IPS and go back to TN.
@booga, what the hell are you smoking? ASUS, Samsung, NEC, and Viewsonic are all up in the top 5.
I am smoking ASUS craptastic monitors, I HAD ONE, it was total junk, personal testimony here, not reading stats off of a website.
The thing only lasted a year, it was grainy, the colors were off and the panel was so cheap that once I had to turn it off while moving furniture and when I turned it back on the switch panel got stuck and forced the panel controls to cycle continuously.
Yeah, they make GREAT stuff /sarcasm off
Replaced it with a Viewsonic and have never had an issue.

So you either had a lemon, knock off, or you abused your monitor. You had ONE monitor out of hundreds of thousands of other ASUS monitors out there that somehow had the quality of a $50 TV. I'm not reading stats either aside of from global rankings. I've used ASUS (various models) both at work and at home (used Samsung's before that). We even have Planar, Acer, Viewsonic, HP, Samsung, Dell, and other monitors here at work. Everyone would rather have an ASUS, Viewsonic, or Acer over the others. ASUS's monitors are pretty far up there in quality. If it was only a year, you should have submitted for warranty work (covered for 3 years on ASUS).
Also most LCD monitors don't constantly cycle through inputs if the button were to get stuck. About 75% of the monitors I have used will show that it attempts to LOCK the button if held down. The buttons are part of the frame/bezel, no the panel. Panels are made by companies such as LG/Samsung, and most monitor manufacturers buy the panels from them to build their monitors.
There is an extensive explanation of how the system works and a brief mention of the manufactures involved
