BenQ GW2765HT or ASUS PB278Q

[Rokhound]

Hello everyone!

I was originally planning to get a pair of 27" 1920x1080 monitors but after quite a bit of
research I am now strongly considering the 2560x1440 models.

As of now within my budget I've narrowed my choices down to:

ASUS (PB278Q) 27"

BenQ (GW2765HT) 27"

I'm also checking out the less expensive Korean panels that seem to be getting good
reviews everywhere I look although both Asus and BenQ offer 3 year warranty and have
offices in Canada.


Main purpose is for a CG work (Maya, Zbrush, Photoshop, MARI).

Current build:

CPU: Intel i7 5820k
GPU: 280x 6GB (display 1) - 6850 1GB (display 2)
RAM: 32GB DDR4 (4x 8GB)
HDD: 250GB SSD, 1TB SATA

They are both nice panels. I prefer the Benq as it is a little less money, and the stand seems a little better.
