Which one of these gaming monitors should I pick?

Q. I'm a gamer and I would prefer the BenQ 27" 3D LED XL2720T, but I'm not sure because I also watch entertainment om my screen too, and from the very few reviews there are for the XL2720T, they say the colours are washed out, a lot! And the ASUS VG278HE 3D LCD Monitor 27" is said to have a much greater life like image... So Help me out here, here are two comparisons from Komplett.no translated with Google Translate.

Original Question

Better alternative for the Dell UltraSharp U2711 ?

Q. I'm a bit confused here. The Dell UltraSharp U2711 seems to score very well on tests, but it is getting a bit old. Now I find some test results that say it's no longer the hot shot it used to be. Is that true?
Can anyone recommend a BETTER screen of these specifications:

- 27"
- 2560 x 1440
- price under € 600 (or $ 800)

Thanks a lot in advance!

A. You could look into the Samsung LS27A850DS... it is new LCD "PLS" technology. I'm not seeing too many reviews out there, but the few that I have seen seem to love it.

Here is a link to the specs/price (Canada):

Here is a link to a glowing review, and a hands on experience:

All I can say is I own a Dell 27" Ultrasharp and 3 Samsung Monitors... and the Dell is starting to have issues 3 years later... so I can only recommend Samsung based on my experience. I also like a 27" with 1920x1200... and don't want such hi-res as 2560x...
