Is this a good monitor?

Thread Starter 
Hello guys, I've currently got the Samsung B2430 24" monitor but I want a bigger display.
However, I still want good quality!

Will this Acer be just as good quality as the Samsung?
Acer S271HLAbid 27"

Basically, is the Acer a better monitor and is it worth upgrading to?

Cheers!

I would not get a monitor that size that is only 1080p unless you are going to be sitting several feet from it. I would also need to see benchmarks on the Acer monitor since they only list the useless dynamic contrast ratio.
