Hey All,

I've read reviews on both of these monitors. The 2713HM definitely has a more attractive base, and I've heard the PB278Q had some light bleed and head-ache causing issues when not at full brightness (btw, anyone know if that has been fixed?). I'm looking to game, as well as do some hobby/amateur Photo editing with it.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up but Newegg currently has great discounts on both, with the Asus having a rogue extra chunk off for today and tomorrow. I can't afford to get both screens over the weekend so I'm wondering if people feel getting the PB278Q for $400 right now is a no brainer or if I should wait to see how the prices land over the next couple days.

Yes, I am bargain hunting. I have a tight budget and obviously I want the best screen for the money but if one is an obvious choice over the other right now (or if I should wait til BF/Cyber Mon) please help me out. I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks much!
 
Solution
buy PB278Q

it has a higher contrast ratio
better viewing angles
excelent response time
wide range of I/O ports

built in speakers and cable management holder at the back is an added bonus
