The next question then, is why? They are often used for graphic design and photo editing, so in those regards, the ones with "true" colors are often wanted (Dell, HP and Apple make the best for those purposes), but most users think vibrant displays look better, which is where the ASUS you saw (probably the PB278Q) comes in.
Really, the PB278Q would be the best for you, it's cheap, it's vibrant, it's a bit ghost-y for gaming, but it gets the job done if you just want a bigger, sharper monitor.
$600 on Amazon right now (cheaper than MemEx and NCIX): http://www.amazon.ca/Asus-PB278Q-LED...eywords=pb278q |
I dunno, good question. Isn't high resolution the ultimate in eye candy? If you are going to spend 600 dollars on a monitor (like the one you linked) Wouldn't a 600$-700$ high res be the way to go?
I don't game, I do the odd video and photo stuff.
When I saw the two side by side, it reminded me of using a SSD and then an HDD and vowing never to go back.
