I just got the Asus VG27AQ and I gotta say the combination of backlight strobing and variable refresh at the same time is mindblowing! It does have some IPS glow, mainly in the lower third of the side edges. You will see that when watching something letterboxed but it’s not terrible. In games it looks damn near perfect. And the clarity is astounding.
@wendell, I’d be really interested in a monitor review for that one.
I liked your suggestion, but decided to go with the Pixio PX329. It was more than a hundred dollars less and 5" wider. Wendell and Tim from Hardware Unboxed reviewed it pretty well.
