Taking Suggestions for a 27" monitor

[Aurora_Boreas]

Been gaming for years on a SyncMaster 213T, and have decided to go dual-monitor and wide screen. Since I would like to keep the height dimensions the same as my current monitor I am targeting 27".

I've found two, but cant decide between them. Both have 1 ms, 75hz, priced closely, multiple imports and some form of blue filter (not important but cool).

Which would you pick, or if you have one how do you like yours? Does one company have better reputation in quality than the other?

Thanks!

1080p is fairly low for a 27" display. I would spend a little more and get a 1440p one instead. What video card are you using now?

Yeah.. FHD ("1080p") is a too low res for 27" as far as I'm concerned. You'd really want a QHD ("1440p") for that size unless you really don't care about viewing text and/or really need a cheap 27". Personally I'd get a better 24" rather than the options you mentioned, although for not too much more you can start looking at QHD monitors.

Knowing your system specs and games you play will help us help you.

Using a gtx 1060. The games I play vary, from Eve, Hitman, Planetside 2, Civilization, whatever. Reason I want a 27 is so that the height matches my current monitor listed earlier.

Update: I came a cross this in my search, seems to fit the bill and is reasonable. What do you think?
