Now I just can't decide on a monitor. I'm looking at either the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q/QR or the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q, and can't seem to decide. Every review and comparison I've found for them say different reasons why each is better than the other, and have no idea which one I should go with. Any help is greatly appreciated.
