Question Help choosing a 1440p monitor

[SillyGooseStuff]

Hello!

I'm looking for a little help with choosing a good 1440p monitor to upgrade my son's current old and outdated 1080p 60hz monitor. I found these two and am completely open to any other recommendations sub $400. I would like to stay between $250-$340, but not opposed to slightly higher.

$279

I had the Asus (and I think the LG but returned it) and it was amazing. Very good monitor IMO for the money. Plus it accepts console signals which surprising a lot of 1440p monitors do not.

My Vote: Asus
