Seeking a 27" LCD/LED For Gaming

[nzo]

I've been doing my best to self-research this subject, but I'm a little hesitant to buy anything atm.

So far I'm considering these:

Feel free to recommend any other monitor as long as its a 27". I'm currently using a 32" and theres no way I'm going back to the 23"-24" monitors. Keep it around the same price range too. Please send me any comments as well.

What are you using these for? if just gaming, try out a hanspree or hanns-G.

They are generally well received and cheap.

Hannspree / Hanns-G (same company) probably makes the lowest quality LCD monitors on the market. I would avoid all their monitors without exception.

Make your choice based upon the reviews of the monitors.

Asus monitors are generally inexpensive and have average quality build. They are a step below more established brands like Dell, Samsung, NEC since Asus' monitor casings are basically all plastic and feels a bit cheap. But Asus monitors are generally considered to be good for their "bang for the buck".

Planar is mostly known for their high end medically certified monitors (for X-Rays, CAT scans, MRIs, etc). They have been selling LCD monitors in the consumer area for over 10 years, but they haven't really been successful with brand recognition. I actually bought two high end consumer level Planar monitors; the PX191 ($675) back in 2003 and the PX2611w ($800) in 2009. I know their higher end consumer level monitors are good, but not sure about their low end monitors; like the one you selected.

Like I stated, read the reviews to help you decide.
