ASUS MG279Q 27 Inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) Gaming Monitor

Excellent!! it's a perfect dream both 27inch and true 1440p resolution!!
This monitor is a fantastic bit of kit, the quad HD resolution with the 144hz makes any game look amazing.
The games look so clear in 2560x1440 I mainly play rocket league these days and the difference in refresh rate and resolution is big.
Colours are rich, and the high refresh rate leads to very smooth movement.
The refresh rate and response time are awful, there is a lot of lag on screen.

What customers say about "Display"

ASUS MG279Q 27 Inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) Gaming Monitor

Colors, contrast and viewing are great.
Getting this monitor was best choice of upgrade from 1080p, fast, colorful, big and way more emersive than 1080p.
This monitor makes my game more natural in color.
Colour accuracy is good, and the anti-glare coating is pretty good too.
The brightness has a little difference between the lowest and highest setting.

Dell S2716DG Gaming Monitor

Every game I've tried is running buttery smooth, and it feels super responsive.
It looks good enough that I'm considering moving my xbox off the 4K TV it's currently attached to, and hooking it up to the monitor.
This monitor is gorgeous and my games are smooth as silk.

What customers say about "Features"

ASUS MG279Q 27 Inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) Gaming Monitor

The stand is sturdy and easily adjustable.
I really like the ease of adjusting the height, very nice smooth fitting.
The headphone jack is very handy as it allows me to have both the PC and PS4 to use the same speakers which are plugged into it.
There are decent built in speakers on a monitor.
Speakers are low quality but usable.

Dell S2716DG Gaming Monitor

I absolutely love this monitor so far. I am actually running a pretty dated GPU but G-Sync makes a substantial difference.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS MG279Q 27 Inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) Gaming Monitor

The kit has all the necessary cables, you no longer need to look for them separately, as I once had.
I had mouse lags issues with my previous moniror, finally after connecting the mouse to this new monitor, there is no problem, magic.
USB 3.0 works great with my mouse and keyboard.
There's 2 USB3 ports but they are not the easiest to access which makes them a little pointless.
USB awkward to get to.

Dell S2716DG Gaming Monitor

The monitor comes with a good quality DisplayPort cable, which is the preferred way to connect it as some cards do not support the newer revisions of HDMI.
The only bad thing I have to say about this monitor is the fact that once it goes into sleep mode when using DisplayPort as the input, it will not wake up.
