Hi there

Recenlty upgraded my computer to

Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Corsair Force Series 3 120GB SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
Gainward GeForce GTX 570 Phantom 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Now I need a good monitor, My budget is about £300 and I would like 27". It will be mostly for playing games

Looking around this one has caught my eye, does anyone know anything about it ?

Asus VE278Q 27" Widescreen LED Multimedia Monitor - Black [VE278Q]

iown it, its great, thought i use it for gaming far away about 1.5 metres away. the colours on it are sick.
 
Been looking at this monitor also whats the diffrence between the 6q and the 8q monitor apart from the price?
 
The 8Q is LED backlit, the 6Q is not. Performance, according to an American colleague of mine, is very similar and amongst the best you will find amongst current 27 inchers of that price.
 
I just bought and LG Flatron E2770 last week and just love it. It's a TN panel but somehow doesn't look it. Awesome viewing angles and the blacks are actually pretty darned black.

That Hazro is just beautiful, but it's out of his budget and the higher resolution would mean he'd need another 570 ideally
