Any suggestion for a new monitor

[LIONSFAN20]

Alright, I have ruled out the Asus PB278Q as I really want 120Hz. So sticking with the BenQ XL2720T and now comparing it to the Asus VG278H, both look very appealing and both are probably fantastic. I would love to be able to see these things in action before picking one, but I have no store that sells these things locally to see them before I buy one. Again both are probably great I just dont know which 1 I want more. the Asus comes with glasses and has built in speakers and a higher contrast ratio, but the BenQ I believe is designed for gaming??

I cant speak to the two of those specifically but asus makes some damn good stuff. perhaps some of these threads could help you out with the two

As always thanks again, I had already read the first forums yesterday, but I just read the tomshardware one and I think it sealed it for me, I will go with the Asus. Thanks to all for all your help!

Enjoy. I have been pleased with all of the Asus products that I have purchased.

Monoprice actually offers monitors which are similar to the Catleap ones people eat up on eBay.

well I got my monitor yesterday, its pretty fantastic, with only 1 problem. It has 1 dead/stuck pixel. Its weird, the pixel is stuck blue on dark screens. It changes to white when the mouse moves to it and when a web page is white. Do I return it to Amazon for another 1 (after all I paid a lot of money for it to not be perfect) but am I expecting to much. Is it normal for a screen of that size to have at least 1 dead pixel. I wonder if Amazon will exchange it for 1 dead pixel??

Turns out its a stuck pixel, not a dead pixel, the red seems to not be working. It does all colors except red and black. I am running a program called Undead pixel to see if it can free it up or get it working.
