ARES_XIV Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Hi all. So I am looking into monitor. But I do not know which brands are good.I am looking for a monitor quite similar to the Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q (Link - http://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/ROG_SWIFT_PG278Q/).However the price of the monitor is too much, really ridiculous. So he's what I am really looking for. 1. 27 inch monitor2. 1080p monitor or more, but 1080p is enough for me.3. Response Time : 1ms (Gray to Gray) [does not have to be 1ms which is still hard to believe, but close to it]4. Brightness(Max) : 350 cd/㎡ or somewhere close to that.5. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME THE MOST - I do not care about anything most then quality of the product and thereputation of the brand as in warranty+quality. Thank you guys!

Moodkiller Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Not sure if you have made a decision yet, but these would be some good options to look at. Note:Response time: I selected a MAX response time of 1ms (becuase 2-5ms is not close to it)Brightness: greater than 300cd/m2Size: 27 inch and greaterBrand: All of these are reputable http://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?&lb=s216195051#prodlista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick1109 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I find that Samsung has the best picture quality for TV's and Monitors. I cant comment on any of the other things you are looking for at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant comment on any of the other things you are looking for at the moment. In contrast (pun not intended), I found that the Asus monitor I now have, has far better picture quality than my Samsung monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to meet anyone as picky as me on picture quality when it comes to HDTV or HD Monitors lol. I have a touchscreen 399$ Asus monitor and it's amazing. I have yet to see one for sale in a store like Best Buy that tops its picture quality. Not saying there isn't better out there, but you will pay a ridiculous price more than likely if you find one. Though I did find its original price of almost 500$ quite ridiculous lol. It's price is now below 300$ where I live. Last I remember, a few months ago, I bought my gf one for 249$ I like it's picture quality so much I ended up buying a spare for each of us incase something went wrong. ACER T232HL If that's above your price range, then I have no real suggestion for anything cheaper because I haven't seen anything cheaper that I would have wanted.

ARES_XIV Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I changed my mind about specs. I first thought of going to TN panels for the low response time, but I realized that I prefer to have better picture quality. So I decided to sacrifice low response time for the sake of better picture quality. Still debating between 3 x 24 inch or 3 x 27 inch. What do you guys think? My intended setup plan is to buy 3 monitors. VESA support is a maybe. My purpose is just for leisurely to have one. No purpose of video editing. I like monitors with high picture quality and strong color output. Monitors will be used for gaming mostly and college stuff works. AH-IPS panel is a one way to go such as the Asus monitor (example: MX27AQ - But lacks VESA support) Samsung monitor I have no idea. I have had Asus monitor before and had no issues with them. I appreciate the help/advice guys! Thanks Edited May 10, 2015 by ARES_XIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodkiller Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Still debating between 3 x 24 inch or 3 x 27 inch. What do you guys think? Lol, if you have the money and space... go for the 3 x 27". You didnt mention using the monitors for watching anime, so assume that's just a given, in which case I would actually suggest going the 3 x 24" route. Simply because if you don't get high quality releases, everything else will just look worse on the 27". This is also assuming you are sitting no more than 1-2 meters away from them?

tsegro Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm using a 22.7 inch 1080p Samsung HDTV Monitor, been using it for about 4-5 years.For about a year I'm thinking to replace it with a 2560x1440 Monitor (Or a 4K one).I've done a lot of searching around and I've set my eyes on this one: Asus PB278Q 27-inch.It has a good rating/feedback on Amazon and right now it costs $431 (When it was launched the price was around at $750).See for yourself some review on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
