Hey all,
I'm currently wondering whether upgrading my current Asus PG278Q to a Viewsonic Elite xg270qg is a worthwhile investment?
Both are 27" 1440p, 144hz+ and have native g-sync (an oddly important feature for me since I've had it for so long and 1ms response time.
The main difference is the panel type. The PG278Q is TN while the XG270QG is an IPS. My main complaint with my current is the washed-out colours compared to other IPS panels I've seen. However, the contrast and black levels of an IPS looks like it might be a significant tradeoff?
Cost-wise, I can get the XG270QG for around £500 brand new. I'm just pondering whether it's really worth it? Or are there better monitors on the horizon?!
Thanks!
