An ACD and a 120hz samsung both have big tradeoffs.
.
If you get an IPS without a scaler your input lag is low, but more importantly IPS takes a response time hit so smears on fast FoV movement more. My ACD's response time is around 12ms.
..
For high ppi + large desktop real-estate for apps and images, better color accuracy + generally just better looking uniform colors , full panel uniformity and no shift/shading, and gorgeous imagery due to that color, ppi, and uniformity - the ACD is far superior. Regarding the colors, I think acd is around 86% adobe 1998 gamut which is quite good for a non RGB led (edgelit) backlight.
.
For gaming the 120hz is much better. It has much less smearing. It pulls off a crt-like feel even though it still blurs/smears scenes on fast FoV movement a bit. I think its because its smearing is more limited to the fastest parts of FoV movement arcs and seems to "snap back" to clear pixels/scene more immediately, and slower moving screen or scene elements have that totally un-blurred crt "floating" look/feel to them , if you get what I mean. It has some vibrant color though not accurate nor uniform.. still looks pretty good and vibrancy looks good on games. It does have some TN shift/shadowing/shading, noticeable on my 27" one, but not that obvious while gaming. It seems to look better vs shift when I have it lower, looking down at it slightly (the top is darker otherwise), but the rest of my monitor array is centered vs my eyeballs at the moment, and I have the 27" 120hz in line with the other monitors, propped up on a block. I might have to change that in the future.
Imo the glossy screen on both of these monitors helps things look clearer and more lush regardless of their limitations too. I have my 120hz 27A750D for games and light background vids while browsing, and my ACD for everything else (including browsing).

Has anyone seen this on a native DP connection?
