ASUS VG278H vs SAMSUNG S27A950D

[NotSure]

So , here we meet again.

Because i can't afford a good IPS with a response time equal or less than 5ms.

(The ViewSonic VP2770-LED is 12ms not 5ms)

So , i am now confused between two monitors.

Also , please mention if you have owned any of them or not.

I do not care much about 3D.
But i care more about color quality.
Glossy screens are no big deal , The window is not facing the screen.

Seems a lot of money to me for a non-IPS 27 inch screen...
Considering you could get 3 of:

For a little more than the Samsung.

That would be better quality, and be a better gaming experience if you have the horsepower to drive them

23" is just small nowadays


Any way , Which one of those which i am choosing from do you recommend ?

I'd get the asus because it's much cheaper, but still very expensive. I just wanted to ask why you don't get a Dell ultrasharp 27, then I saw these are like 850$ on newegg, in Switzerland you can pick those up for less 700$, and I have always thought computer stuff was really cheap in the us...

 

[jamesriley94]

...having 3 of them isn't really small.

As for the response time on IPS monitors - anything below about 8ms is fine - it really doesn't need to be 2ms, and you won't see a difference.
You say you aren't interested in 3D, but you want colour quality - so you've got LED 3D screens?

If I had to recommend one or the other, I'd say the Asus.
But I honestly wouldn't be buying either tbh - considering what you've said you want it for

I have considered this one.
But,
Some say it has "input lag"
Plus , the other ones i have mentioned are here in my country.
If i am going for the DELL , it will be shipped internationally, and if it does have problems it is going to cost me more to return and reship it back.

I would accept anything below 5 or 6.
3D is a plus , fast response too.
But if i am going for a TN i might as well enjoy all what i can get from it.
Any way , Why do you recommend the ASUS ?

I have an IPS monitor and there is no input lag as far as I can see and the response times are more than fine for gaming, considering I do a lot of that
