AOC Q2770QPU vs Asus PB278Q

Hey guys! I am going to get a 1440p IPS/PLS monitor, and I was having trouble deciding between these two. These are the reasons why I am leaning towards each one:
 

Asus: 

$30 Dollars Cheaper

In my opinion the stand and bezel look nicer.

It seems much more well known (generally a good thing). 500 reviews on Amazon vs. the 8 on the AOC.

 

AOC:

The Asus apparently uses "LED PWM Dimming." I don't know how big a deal this is, but this thread http://www.overclock.net/t/1311936/asus-pb278q-the-official-2560x1440-semi-glossy-pls-thread - claims that it gives the AOC an edge over the Asus.

Additionally, this thread - http://wecravegamestoo.com/forums/monitor-reviews-discussion/15027-best-27-monitors-2014-2560x1440-ahva-ips-pls.html lists the AOC as a much better monitor.

 

Do you guys have any experience with either of these, can you please help me out? I feel pretty lost.

 

Thanks!

I am using the AOC monitor, TFT Central gave it a good review too apparently the panel used in the AOC is the same as the Asus (Samsung PLS panel, at least TFT central said this in their review)

 

The AOC comes with a great stand, vga, dvi, displayport and hdmi, as well as headphone passthrough, usb 3 hub and fast charge port, tilt height adjust and rotate, and the backlight does not cause eye fatigue as it does not pulse like the Asus monitor

 

Its got a great smooth AG coating on that does not ruin image quality like some IPS monitors

 

(the AOC is cheaper in the UK than the Asus, not sure why its the other way around for you)
