How is PLS vs AH-IPS? I'm not colour maniac and I won't probably even notice since this will be my first time seeing 1440p. I think I will get this ASUS over Dell U2713HM, anyone can say something to it?
Going from 21,5' TN LCD

Edit: Googled and it seems PLS is just better version of IPS
Is PWM big deal?

What's the brightness level do you have?

At lower brightnesses the refresh rate of PWM slows down. You still won't notice it except that at especially low brightness (20%) some people feel that they are affected by the PWM. I guess it can give some sort of 'pulse'(?) effect than cause fatigue or maybe even a headache. The Samsung 850 also uses PWM but that monitor uses a faster refresh rate. For myself, the PWM has been a total non issue and I'm glad that I bought the Asus which was priced $150 below the Samsung.

Guess you are referring to the zoom by rotating the mouse wheel

No, go into Control Panel / Adjust Screen Resolution and check the 125% or 150% tit to increase font size.

125% worked out pretty well, also in Chrome you can set font size

Eh, I have no problem reading text at normal size on 2560x1440 monitors, so I keep it default.

I have no problem too, but that doesn't mean bigger is not better
