XB270HU vs MG279Q

[SubZeroFish]

Hello!

 

Specs:

- GTX 970

- i5 4690K

- H97-PRO

- 8GB RAM
 

Current I own a awful LG monitor, and I think you could add agree I need an upgrade. 

 

I have been trying to decide between these two monitors for weeks, and I have never used any monitor that has either G-Sync, 144hz or even IPS. I ask for your opinions and assistance, because I can't decide on my own.

 

As you all probably know, the main difference between these monitors is G-Sync, as I have a Nvidia card this will benefit me. But what I don't know is how much, and if it'll be worth the extra money. Of course it'll depend on what I play, which is mainly CS:GO and demanding shooters such as Battlefield 4.

 

I have heard the signal processing is very close to TN panels on both these monitors. Because of this, is there not benefit (apart from the price) of buying a TN panel now?

 

Thank you very much for reading, and really appropriate you taking some interest and helping me with my decision.

 

( These are the cheapest prices I could find.):

XB270HU, g-sync is worth it and tn panels aren't that bad.

So do you suggest I pick a G-Sync TN, if the difference regarding color between IPS and TN isn't too noticeable?

 

Thank you for your reply
