Hey guys, I bought a ve278q last year with my rig and since then have been using it with my 24" old Samsung as dual screens. With tax returns around the corner and exams almost done and over with, I thought this would be a good time to treat myself with another 27" and finally getting rid of the 24" LCD. So I went on memoryexpress and started researching and found that there are at least 3 models of Asus led monitors at the same price range. I guess my question is, between these models, which is "better" ? ve278q ve278h vs278p-q. Which would you recommend?

The new 24" vg248QE is the absolute best gaming monitor I've used since the old CRT Days.

why not worry about res, rather than size?

Oh and because I already have a 27", I shall get another and run true dual screens. 27 and 24 would be odd and given that if the 24 is 1440, I would use that as my main monitor which is even more odd. 🙂

Get one that matches the 27" you already have

Thanks guys and myk thats a great idea actually, I should do that. Just a quick additional question here cos I do not want to waste this post and start another one. First I will explain my set up. I have the Asus ve27 hooked to 680 via hdmi, and the old 24" samsung via dvi (mainly just to play hd videos and blu-ray movies). Today when I was playing around with the monitors and started playing around with the setting, I realized that my monitor is recognized as HDTV instead of PC in nvidia control panel. So I switched to make it so my 27" is connected via dvi and my 24 via hdmi, and immediately I noticed the (quality/colour) difference. I know that hdmi is the same as dvi and this isn't making any sense to me at all, but even my little sister was asking me when I was playing the same blu-ray movie, "why has the samsung image quality gone so bad ???"
Any ideas ?!?!?!?!?!?!??
