Resolution or color accuracy?

[jeessalu]

I am having trouble choosing a display for a new build. I am planning a three monitor portrait eyefinity setup.

My options at the moment are the Dell u2412m at $300 a piece, giving me a desirable 1920x1200 resolution; and the Asus pa238q At $270 a piece, with an advertised 100% color reproduction. My use will be for gaming and multimedia.

Anyone have a good argument either way? Thank you for your help.

For gaming I'd rather have the faster response time and larger panel size of the u2412m.

They both use e-ips panels, which are 6bit + 2bit afrc (just like TN). So the pa238q doesn't have more accurate colors, it just has a wider gamut.

Thanks, the Dell monitor is on sale at the moment which cuts the savings of the Asus in half.

Any thoughts on the different aspect ratios from the two set-ups?

3x Dell u2412m's @ 3600x1920 ~ 1.875 (16x8.5)

3x Asus pa238q's @ 3240x1920 ~ 1.688 (16x9.5)

Thanks.

They came in today, can't wait to get home and test to see if I have any dead pixels!
