hi guys this is a follow up to a question i asked a few days ago ......i asked which monitor i should get for photography and gaming ,i play games such as fifa 14 ,the golf club ,sniper ghost warrior 2 ,grid 2 dont really play a lot of fps games .
now some guys suggested the AOC Q2770PQU 27" Widescreen LED Monitor - Black .
ive been looking at some of the dell ultrasharp such as.....
Dell UltraSharp U2713H 27" Widescreen LED Monitor - Midnight Grey or the.....
Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 27" Widescreen LED Monitor - Midnight Grey ....would i be better off with one of those screens ?? ..or is it possible to buy a good gaming monitor which is as good at photography ?
i really do want a better monitor for photography but also dont want to ruin my gaming in the process ,am i trading in my quality in gaming for a ips or pls screen ?

The AOC uses the same Samsung PLS panel as my ASUS PB278Q and I can confirm that the colours of that are wonderful side by side with a normal TN "gaming" monitor.

As well as the excellent colours/contrast and clarity, my ASUS also served a good role as a "gaming" monitor before I got an additional 144Hz screen to play on.

The Dell U2713HM has been subject to many complaints about bad back light bleed in the lower left corner.

I'd go with the AOC, save some money and still get a good monitor.

Man I'm in the same boat as you, can't decide between all the 27" monitors but I've narrowed it down to the new Samsung that's due to be released but then I found the Benq 32" for more or less the same price.
Now I'm stuck between which 32" monitor I want and how I make the space :|
