Torn between 2 monitors 27EA73 or MX279

[Iceman_X]

I really didn't want to do this this year but my 28" viewsonic just died so now i need 2 new monitor my budget isn't huge

 

the LG 27EA73 is right on budget or ASUS MX279 is stretching a bit on my budget

 

Not a huge gamer mostly for Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Premiere

 

Anyone who has any ideas or if you own one let me know if you like it?

 

Thank You!

If you're going to be using it for content creation/ production then I think you should consider getting yourself an Asus PA248Q

I have the MX279H. I am very pleased with it but I did pay $50 extra fro it compared to other 27" ips panels for the looks but also for the stand. I cant stand it when the monitor shakes as I type. It happens with this one too but not too much. I went to frys and best buy to check out their displays that had the sturdiest stand and this one was the winner. I can recommend it

Damn, I was looking for someone  who could give me some info about LG 27EA73, I can't find any decent reviews.

Anyway, the MX279H has glass all over the front, right? Is the stand plastic or metal?

What's your approach to the 27" 1080p discussion, and how far do you sit from your new monitors?

The MX279H looks very similar to the 27EA73 in terms of aesthetics.

It's matte glass bezel to bezel which are virtually invisible,

however when it's on there is a 1 cm border bezel on top and each side

the colors are unbelievable, very crisp and vivid.

 

The stand is heavy metal very sturdy and beautiful,

they are about 3 feet away from my eyes.

the only minor thing i would change is they sit low

i'm going to build a wooden base about 8" to raise them up other than that AWESOME!

 

At first i bought just one once i installed it i was so impressed the next day i bought 2 others.
