Which one would you choose?

Hey there guys! I am new to the community and was looking for some expert help on an issue! I recently built myself a new rig and purchased three ASUS VN279Q 27-Inch Screen LCD Monitors. All three arrived damaged with debris under the screen, dead pixels, or stuck pixels that could not be fixed. I issued a replacement for two and kept one to at least be able to use my computer. The replacements also arrived damaged and I cannot keep replacing until I find three that are not damaged and work properly, because god knows how long that will take. I started looking at some BenQ monitors, but was concerned that since it was cheaper in cost, and some specs were lower, that it will be lower in quality and value. Thus, I have turned to you guys for an answer! I was wondering, which monitors would you buy for a tri-monitor setup with great quality!

Here are the specs for each:
BenQ: http://www.benq.com/product/monitor/ew2750zl/specifications/
ASUS: https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/VN279Q/specifications/

BenQ wins this one. Here is a review https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/benq-ew2750zl/

Why do you say that the BenQ has worse specs? From what I saw it had better specs: better gray to gray response time, better contrast ratio. What exact specs are worse with the BenQ?

On the ASUS page it said it had a 100M:1 Contrast ratio and the BenQ had a 20M:1 Contrast. I do not know much about monitors, they are not really my jive turkey, but I am always up for learning about them! If you have an explanation for the different in contrast, that would be great! Thanks again for the response!

A lot of those big numbers are for marketing, just use google and you find out.

I'm no monitor expert either, but from my experience the contrast ratio varies so much, and is really no indicator. I've seen beautiful monitors look much better than other monitors with a rated lower contrast ratio. You can google some reviews, and from what I've seen the BenQ is in fact a better monitor.
