S27A850T vs S27B970

[Rufus55]

Hey guys

just wanted a few opinions on these two moniters on which to go for, currently have a U2311H but the aggressive AG coating has been driving me nuts ever since I got it. So I wanted to stay clear of the IPS moniters due to the coating, and I dont really want to roll the dice on the Korean moniters.

Currently where I am in Australia the only other options are the PLS panels S27A850T for $680 and the S27B970D for $880 I dont mind paying extra if its for a better screen, I dont do photo work so it will just be used for general web browseing, email light gaming mainly RPGs and MMOs with some very light FPS on occassion.

I have heard the S27A850 had bleeding issues on some which concern me and from what I have heard the S27B970 has some issues with black levels.

Thanks in advance.

The 850D & T are actually different (D has 2x dl-dvi while the T has 1x dl-dvi and 1x hdmi ports) and I haven't read any reports of bleeding on the T version.

The 850 series uses a semi-glossy coating (matte) while the 970D is glass (glossy) and is reflective, but it does have better colours

The 970D promises 90% screen uniformity so you are pretty much guaranteed to get a bleed free unit.

It is the T version they dont sell the D here anymore.

I dont mind reflections as my room is quite dark as it doesnt recive a great deal of natural light so thats no real problem, if it has better colours and im guessing being a glossy screen the colors will pop more it makes me lean that way,

As long as its colour coverage is fairly accurrate it doesnt have to be perfect since I wont be doing colour editing I most likely wouldnt notice the difference.
