So I've been asking on another forum which monitor to get and everyone and their dog keeps recommending me this monitor:

However I went for this one below (its ordered already) due to it being an inch bigger and 50quid cheaper, not that bothered about 3d as I wear glasses so wearing 3d glasses over mine is awkward and often gives a headache

but now I'm thinking of ordering the samsung one and testing them both together as the main thing I'm worried about is tearing as I like to play with Vsync on so I hate to see tearing.

If I ordered the second monitor and then tested them together, am I able to send the one I don't like back under the DSR? Thats obviously at my cost right? How much is it to send a monitor back?

I dont think any modern FPS games (BF3) youd be able to sustain 120fps for Vsync with just one card so thats why I'm worried about it!
 
I'd happily pay an extra £50 (if I could) for the Samsung. Although you may not gain 120fps, the overall smoothness of this is definitely obvious. I have the Samsung 23" you listed and I love it. I hooked up my old old old 60hz monitor and even in general use, the Samsung was a million times better.

If you can, go for the Samsung, you won't be disappointed!
 
I just put a request in to cancel my order and ordered the samsung.. not too keen on having to pay to send one back lol.

Wish I could go and test both monitors in person to make up my mind
 
I do think you'll be happy. Don't be scared that you haven't got to compare against each other. I hope you like the Samsung. If I had the spare cash, I'd buy another ;D
 
Its one of those things that only opinion really matters though, unlike benchmarks where you can actually see the score.. some people see tearing more than others.

Will have to see how it goes, I imagine it'll be here on Tuesday :)
