Which monitor is a better choice for gaming and movie viewing? Dell has a better response time but has a much higher input lag HP on the other hand doesn't have an OSD which is a huge minus for me. What do you think? Unfortunately those two monitors are the only widely available 27'' 1440p monitors in my country so I don't have a huge choice. I already asked that question in peripherals subforum but there wasn't much of a discussion going on so I decided to repeat that question here. At first I thought this was the wrong forum for such a question but then I saw that sticky thread about LCD monitors.

Samsung S27A850D is listed in one shop but I don't know if it's actually available. Anyway isn't PLS matrix inferior to IPS?

The review seems to put them very close. Some users complain about heavy Anti-glare coating on the HP and Dells, while the samsung has much less.

I had a thread not so long time ago with similar question.

Personally I've decide to wait for 2012 IPS monitor refresh.
