If you had to choose between your ROG Swift and your Qnix to live with as a single monitor, which would you choose?
Swift. i don't even use my QNIX anymore. considering selling it. my only real problems with the PG278Q (which is basically the same as the Dell), if i'm not forgetting anything, are:
the AG coating (same as the Dell) is stronger than i would like but it's only really noticeable on bright, homogeneous patches of color. easy to get used to but i do miss the glossiness of my old VG236.
viewing angles obviously but they are really not an issue unless you only view your screen by slouching in your chair 2 feet below the monitor. once again only really noticeable on large patches of homogeneous color.
backlight uniformity; with any sort of smooth movement on the screen when it is displaying large patches of homogeneous color you can see dark/light patches on the screen, only discernible if both of those conditions are met so the only time i really notice it is when using middle click scroll in chrome.
oh and i wish that the stand would let me drop the screen down a bit further, dunno how the stand is on the S2716DG.
i think that's about it. nothing really major at all. factory calibration was very, very good other than the gamma was a bit off. after gamma correction it looks almost identical to my QNIX side-by-side. personally, as i've stated a few times before, i absolutely cannot stand IPS glow, which is why i went with the PG278Q over an XB270HU.
