benq has better strobe options with v2 firmware (read up on www.blurbusters.com for strobing and all things 120/144hz), asus has a bit better overdrive implementation, not very much notable between them After a quick scan, the xl2411z is reduced to £222 with free shipping on amazon.co.uk - that's a pretty ridiculous price, i was expecting to to be 270, maybe 250 if lucky. Grab it quick! | ||

The latter if you want much better black levels and no off-angle "IPS glow" on dark content at the expense of slightly more motion blur and a little worse general off-angle viewing performance. Aside from the options in the OP and similar models just different in size, look for recent Samsung PLS monitors or Asus models using IPS panels (these will advertise 178/178 viewing angles) and recent VA monitors sold by BenQ (these will advertise 3000:1 or 5000:1 static contrast ratio). Most of these options are $200-250 range or less normally, even without sales. Cool, i'll check for stuff like that. Thanks. | ||

there's just not much reason to take it; if it was the same price then maybe. I'm not sure if all of the strobe adjustments etc and other monitor stats are as good, just because almost nobody uses those monitors and they're rarely talked about (everyone buys 24") It seems like an ok option if you want to buy, but it's priced as if the 24" was still £260-270. It's not, so the price gap is way too big. It's not a straight upgrade either, it's just an alternate option | ||

I personally went for a trio of korean 27 inch 2560x1440s and they're a definite option at that price point, with higher pixel density at the cost of build quality and refresh rate | ||

I'm also waffling between 144hz and 1440p, the extra real estate sounds really sweet and I primarily play dota 2, so having 144 hz isn't necessarily all that beneficial considering my old man hands don't react that fast anyways | ||

No, really, for that I'd just get a 2560x1440 60 Hz affair. I'd say this is a pretty good starting point: http://wecravegamestoo.com/forums/monitor-reviews-discussion/15027-best-27-monitors-2014-2560x1440-ahva-ips-pls.html http://wecravegamestoo.com/forums/monitor-reviews-discussion/15498-worst-27-monitors-2014-2560x1440-ahva-ips-pls.html | ||

Anyone have any experience with the ASUS PB278Q? I like the reviews i've read and features, and it's a brand i've heard and seems to be overclockable to 85 hz relatively easily | ||
