Question Whose monitors reviews do you trust the most?

[dugt]

So far I like tom'sHardware reviews and the reviews by Rtings.com. Is there a clear winner here or are there others that I should consider?

I'm trying to decide which 27", 2K, 170Hz monitor to by. I'm torn between the Acer Predator XB273U NVbmiiprzx or the ASUS Republic of Gamers Strix XG27AQ. Both are around $525.

It’s always best to read/watch multiple reviews. The other reviews that seem to go into the most depth on response times are Hardware Unboxed. This covers their recent methodology

Thanks for the replies!

After reading all of the reviews I could find I bought an ASUS Republic of Gamers Strix XG27AQ . The Acer has 10 bit color but almost all games are 8 bit. Also, Toms Hardware is the only reviewer that reviewed both monitors and the rated the Asus higher and I found one $130 cheaper than the Acer. I win.

Hardware Unboxed has a reviewer who does nothing but monitors.
