Hello,
I'm planning to upgrade my monitor after 4 years of 1080p 60HZ, to either an Asus ROG PG279Q or the Asus ROG PG278QR, which I have not yet decided on.
Now, I have one concern which I never really thought about since I didn't bother that much with my 100 Euro monitor. Will sun on the back side of the monitor damage it? The monitor is basically positioned right infront of a window, with the sun shining on the top half plastic on the back of it at times, over periods of hours. When I do upgrade I want to make sure not to damage my 600-800 Euro monitor with that.
That's my main question, my second question would be to which monitor to actually buy. I would mainly be using it for gaming, movies, and using the internet of course, and a bit of editing. No photo tuning or anything like that, just editing (very small amounts) within sony vegas or w/e. I've done research and come to the conclusion that 4ms response time isn't that big of a deal, and IPS colors are a lot better, though IPS comes with backlight bleed 90% of the time, either strong or not so strong. I do care about colors and think that the nicer IPS colors would really improve my experience in games, wouldn't it? I'm just unsure if i wan't to enter the IPS gamble, or if 4ms is a big difference in competitive games, since I do play them. (Overwatch mostly, battlefield, and the occasional new random ones)
Help would be greatly appreciated.
