Samsung or Asus ips monitor

[PCnerd21]

I am looking at 27" 5ms ips monitor for school, and gaming would you recommend Asus or Samsung? My budget is $330 and under.

1920 x 1080 or 2560 x 1080?

For gaming, I'd go with Asus 9 times out of 10.

The ASUS MX is probably a better choice than the Samsung. It's beats the VX too.

That's what I was thinking

If gaming is a priority and it HAS to be a 27" monitor, the ASUS VS278Q-P is a good unit as well with really decent reviews and a 1ms response time which is much more desireable for gaming than the 5ms.
