Are the specs of the Asus MX279H the same as the specs of the Asus MX239H?

Im looking for an IPS panel monitor for gaming, I have seen reviews saying the Asus MX279H is a good gaming monitor option with a 5ms response time and 10ms input lag, are they the same for the smaller 23" Asus MX239H model? also if anyone has or had these monitors how do they preform?

A friend of mine owns the 27" version and it's pretty decent. It was perfect when she first got it but over time I've began to notice it getting a little bit of backlight bleed in some of the corners. This is a problem with a lot of IPS monitors so it isn't a huge deal.

For that price range I would rather purchase a Dell U2412M. (which I'm buying very soon). It's a great monitor for the price and is on sale on newegg for $240 with the promo code which is an absolute steal in my book.

I would be buying off amazon.co.uk, so newegg isnt really an option, I looked up the Dell U2412M and its listed for £40 ($60) more than the Asus MX239H 23" version, would it be worth it? and is has a 8ms GTG response time is that rather slow for gaming?

I'm running a Korean PLS panel which advertises a 8ms response time (Xstar DP2710 if your interested). I cant say I notice a difference compared to the TN next to it running ~5ms.

The 8ms number represents the original revision A00 model. I believe the newer revisions now feature an average response time of around 6ms~.

I'm not sure why everyone is going bananas over response time lately. I've only ever noticed any slight delay on a monitor rated at an average response time of 14ms.

I think the extra price is worth it. You'll be getting a monitor that has great color calibration options and an amazing stand which matters more than you might think. Not to mention the U2412M is VESA compatible which is a big plus if you want to wall mount your monitor in the future.
