any difference between the Asus MG278Q and the Asus PG278QR besides the price point

the latter is newer and isn't out yet. i suspect the mg278q will get a small price cut once it does 

 

if you like 60hz and IPS see the benq gw2765. i have this monitor

Best 1440p screen here imo in terms of price to features: 

Pixio 27" 1440p 144Hz Freesync - $399

 

Pixio 27" 1440p 60Hz - $299

 

Those are AHVA panels. Viewing angles like IPS. Colors inbetween TN and IPS. Refresh rate like TN. Comes with an anti-glare coating.

The red label on the panel is a muted red In Real Life. 

Has the option to split the display into 1 through 4 displays based on input. Example: I have a PS4 plugged into HDMI1 and my PC plugged into DisplayPort. 

If I wanted to, I could have PC displayed on half the screen and PS4 displayed on the other half. Not entirely useful for that, but useful for troubleshooting and stuff. Or watching TV and using PC? IDK. Just a cool thing it supports.

It has some quirks though. Adaptive brightness sucks. i.e. "how bright the colors on your screen are decides brightness level". If the screen has too much dark content, the display literally turns off.

I just disable that feature. Pixio is working on a firmware update to fix it though as I emailed them.
