    I'm in the market for a 27" monitor, and have narrowed the choice down to either:

    Asus VE278Q
    Acer H274HLbmid
    AOC E2795VH
    LG M2762D M62D-PZ
    Samsung S27A550H
    Samsung T27A300
    Samsung S27A350H

    So does anyone have any opinions on which one to choose? Or can anyone suggest any other monitors in the €300'ish price range?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Make sure you have a good graphics card, my one can't keep up with full screen videos. But for the money I paid in about 200euros it's well worth it. Has the HDMI in so also a plus !

    Only thing is, I would have liked to mount it on a swivel bracket from my wall but no mounting arrangement on the back sadly.

    You won't get any more real estate unless they're 1440p or higher. I just checked the asus one of those and presume they're all the same at 1080p. You're just going to have 1920x1080 stretched to 27 inches so it won't look sharp and you won't have any extra space. Look for the best pixel pitch (PPI, DPI, same thing, just the distance between the pixels and the number of pixels per inch)

    I agree with tea the catleap is the way to go. Either that or another Korean brand.
