Hi.

Already made a post on this but felt I should make another since I am SOOOO important.

I am going to use the monitor for gaming and photoshop.

I have about £430 max to spend.

I have narrowed it down to these two monitors.

I am being swayed towards the Dell due to their dead pixel return policy and extended warranty. 

 

These are the two I am considering.

Definitely would go for the Dell one, cleaner bezel and better support.

As us is my choice, but then again, you are asking for opinions, so expect split results.

Asus for the low response times, contrast ratio, integrated speakers. Dell for warranty and looks of the product.

Don't expect that 8ms response time to be awesome for gaming...

 

Edit: Expect a lot of ghosting.
