There is a huge improvement in vision especially if you look around a lot with 120hz screens.
If my frames drop below 80 or so I start to notice flicker.
For me anything over 90fps is sweet though, I can't really tell between 90 and 120.

I have 3D on my laptop. It is a bit of a momentary gimmick and not worth the money. I used it maybe twice.

I actually really like 3d, it brings out a lot of detail, but I don't think it's the best for FPS games as looking around so quickly hurts my head. =(

I wouldn't buy one monitor over another simply because it has 3d.

Only buying the Asus for the 144 hz now.  3D I could take it or leave it tbh

Get an IPS. So much nicer to look at. At 144Hz the picture tends to suffer.

Also maybe you should wait to see which one map you're going to play 24/7 on BF4, then get a monitor that best displays that colour gamut.

That's pretty funny as you do make an excellent point.

I got the Asus 27" HE. Reviews say that it is geared more to 2d gaming with the ability to go to 3d if required thru purchasing the 3d kit.  

Anyone want 2X 560ti's

AMD955 on Gigabyte UD5 board

Make an offer

That monitor is no longer available according to Samsung site, and at 23" would have seemed tiny to me stepping down from 26"

To answer your question, yes I got it.  I'll let you know.
