Benq XL2730Z or Asus MG278Q ?

Alright, I decided to take my chances and ordered an MG279Q and TBH I don't think I was ever so worried about an hardware part. Got it yesterday and so far haven't found any dead pixel, it has a slight backlight bleeding at the corners (my old w2363d had that as well) but other than that seems...

Benq XL2730Z or Asus MG278Q ?

I'll either try get the 279q from a local store that has a good CS, or wait for future models hoping that they will have less QC issues. Thanks for your help.

Benq XL2730Z or Asus MG278Q ?

Buying from a local store, the only available freesync monitors here are Asus, Benq or AOC. Keep in mind that I'm looking for a 144hz/QHD monitor. Budget is around 500-600$ thanks

Only one Acer 27" model is available (Acer K272HLbid) and it does not have Freesync.

Benq XL2730Z or Asus MG278Q ?

Thanks for the help, but as I stated - I can not get the Acer monitor here. As for the IPS Asus problems, I guess it's individual - There is nothing I hate more than replacing the same model because of a problem. Furthermore, I mostly play FPS games and I think for those TN would be superior.

Benq XL2730Z or Asus MG278Q ?

I'm not living in U.S and the Acer FX270HU is not being sold here :\ Was originally trying to decide between the XL2730Z and MG279Q (IPS), but I saw that it has a lot of issues, with a lot of people reporting they had to RMA. Anyone here owns one of the models?

Benq XL2730Z or Asus MG278Q ?

Hello, I bought an R9 290 not long ago and looking for a compatible 144hz Freesync monitor. Both of these models got great reviews, and are now priced relatively the same (do not confuse the mg278q TN with the 279q IPS). Can anyone help me choose? :confused:

Benq XL2730Z or wait ?

Hey, I am considering purchasing a new monitor, I'm running an R9 290 so QHD is probably the highest I can go. When I first read about the XL2730Z I noticed it had some bug with overdrive but this was fixed with a new firmware (V002). Is now a good time to purchase a monitor, or since...

Gsync vs Freesync, driver updates?

I am interested in a buying a new video card, and my main consideration is Freesync implementation vs Gsync implementation. Now since Freesync is driver based, it means that it is most likely improve with newer drivers. How will the Gsync compare? Is it possible somehow to update the...

Does Freesync/GSync eliminate the need of a higher refresh rate monitor?

I saw this list a couple days ago: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/list-of-freesync-adaptive-sync-compatible-monitors.html and noticed that currently the 4K displays (at least the freesync ones) do not support a 144hz refresh rate comparing to some of the WQHD models. I currently own a 120hz...

ATI Freesync anywhere in sight?

I am seeing a lot of Gsync monitors being released lately, any news regarding ATI's Freesync? I'm planning on upgrading to R9 380/370 when they are released, but that kinda depends whether ATI answer to Nvidia's GSYNC is months away, or years away...

Not quite, I'm talking about headphones that have multiple speakers to simulate the 7.1 experience...you can see what I'm talking about here : http://assets.hardwaresphere.com/uploads/2011/08/razer-tiamat-true-71-surround-sound-speaker-headset-diagram.jpg
