So I can't say I keep up on display technology all that much and I'm a little confused by all of these specs Im not familar with.
I'm looking for a 27" display in 1080P (the price jump to 1440P seems a bit much. I'd rather pocket the difference in price and save it for a later jump to 4K).
Use is mixed between games and general use. My wife has mentioned that she wants to start learning photoshop at some point, and my very basic understanding is that IPS panels have better color reproduction for photo editing, so would like to get IPS. She may take this monitor from me in the future, but I'd like to at least let her plug her laptop into it once in awhile when doing photos.
My general impression has been that Samsung screens usually have the best PQ (at least when buying TVs) but not sure if the same holds true in monitors. One last thing is that while I don't need speakers now, between two equal monitors I'll take the one with the speakers (image quality more important though).
I do not plan on running multiple monitors.
Looking at the following:

Samsung 27", relatively new (only a few reviews), $230, 300 brightness

Acer 27", good reviews, $195, 250 brightness. Built in speakers.

ASUS 27" MX279H Refurb, good reviews, $220 ($300 regular price), 250 brightness, has speakers.
They all seem relatively similar to me. Is there anything in the specs that I'm missing that would make one particularly better than the rest in regards to image quality or other use?
