Hey Tom's! Do you guys think you could add a category of best 1080p60hz monitors? A lot of people, like me, are perfectly fine with that resolution and refresh rate, but we still care about the best panel quality besides those specs. It would also be useful for those who plan to use their monitor for a console and don't need UHD or 144hz monitors.

I'm interested in VA panels from BenQ but they have so many different models I'm not sure which would be better for gaming on...

One error in the article: BL3201PT is an IPS panel, not a VA panel (BL3200PT is the VA, but it is also only QHD, or 1440p). The BL3201PT review article itself also mentions it as IPS.

Also, perhaps an additional review of XB271HU and perhaps even XB281HK is in order? I personally feel 271HU should beat pg279Q, I found the IPS glow on the latter to be much more visible compared to XB271HU.

Error in last sentence of the BenQ XL2430T section?

"On top of that, you get a QHD (2560x1440) panel. High resolution and unparalleled speed (plus G-Sync) make this our favorite gaming monitor right now."

Pretty sure that's a 1080p monitor

Did you even research on the reviews for Asus PG279Q? How can you even add it to this "best" list? Backlight bleeding, vertical lines, and dead sets within months are very common complaints.
