Hi All,
I'm looking for a solid 27' monitor for gaming and other basic windows activities. I'm willing to spend up to $400 if there is a noticeable difference in performance, but if one of the $250~ range monitors is essentially the same thing, then I would prefer to save the money.
What would you all suggest?
Thanks!

Thanks. However, are there any noticeable differences between the 250~ ones and the 350-400 ones (other than a sleaker look?

Get Glossy if your PC room has regulated lighting ( blinds and curtains ). I find the glossy ones offer better viewing angles and more pure blacks over near identical units with matte screens.

I am extremely grateful to Bosco, Ccokman, Nvidia, Corsair, Intel and Mushkin as winning the hardware is making my life far easier as it has helped tremendously with the transition from P/T Little Caesars employee to becoming an OTR truck driver. Again, than you all and I will be showing my gratitude this coming Xmas

The panel type would have more of an effect on viewing angles then if the bezel is glossy or not.

Awesome monitor, I have the same one but VK (just has the camera on top)

Yes but you would only be able to tell from the work you'll be doing on it. If its just gaming and general activities then save the money and get a TN panel.
