Samsung S27B970D

I just ordered one of these just wanted some input on it, I went for this screen for its res 2560 x 1440 but also heard it will have input lag, I use my PC for gaming, 3d modeling and programming and didn't like the blown up 1080p on a 27 inch so i want a better res screen.

I would have got the new Asus 2560.1440 it has less input lag and built around knowing its consumer base is gamers.

ASUS PB Series PB278Q 27" 5ms (GTG) WQHD HDMI Wide...

there you go

That is the point, if he just bought 2x Samsung 2560.1440, surely he can cancel his order and get the Asus, which are cheaper and better.

I had this monitor and i took it back why because of bad back light bleeding which u can see here http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=174032 So i would stay away from asus monitors i also had a look at the Samsung S27a850t but i would rather pay the extra for the S27B970D.

That monitor is definitely not intended for gaming. The picture, color, and viewing angle are amazing - but definitely not going to be the best gaming screen.
