ASUS VS ACER

[badswede]

which brand do you guys prefer???

[John Doe]

Well... personally, I'm not a fan of TN panels. The viewing angles are not too good, same applies to their colors.

$450 can get you a good high quality IPS 27 inch.

I love Acer monitors and laptops to death, but I'm not sure I would buy a computer from them over Asus.

I think Asus is better for PCs (as they make the components), but Acer monitors are the best from what I've used.

Because AUO is Acer's. ASUS uses a lot of AUO panels in their monitor.

You get what you pay for, regardless of brand ASUS is generally better, but also has its share of bad products - usually their budget mobos. Acer is perfectly fine for monitors, wouldn't too much get from them anything else.

But its hard to compare those twe brands, ASUS makes so many things (I have even a ASUS RAM kit, called ASint.), while Acer does only monitors, laptops and small things.

In monitors I think they are pretty much equal, cheap monitors will be cheap, expensive will be better. Perhaps only that ASUS might have a better RMA service, if anything goes wrong.

What? They are both Taiwanese, where majority of computer components are made.

Surprise, panel wise LG is the leader. They make OLED Monitor and IPS Monitor first.

For reference, IPS panel is LG's. IPS tech panels like PLS is Samsung equivalent. QLED doesn't hold a candle to OLED.

It depends which model and what you want to do with it.

Light gaming, internet browsing, media? -> Acer (more options in the low-medium budget range)
Gaming, light video/audio editing, Adobe? -> Asus or MSI (more & better options medium-high budget range)


Either way you're still better of with a dedicated desktop gaming pc, both in value & upgradability.

I've found Asus to be a more 'up market brand' and comes off as slightly more premium comparing products from the 2 of them.
I've had faulty products from both, but Asus dealt with the problem far better (Acer took 3 months to send me a replacement screen under an RMA while Asus replaced a GPU within 3 days and upgraded to the newer 7900GTX over the dead 7800, mind you when the replacement screen from acer died, it only took them 3 days, sadly they replaced it with a much lower end 1080p model Vs the 1920x1200 that had died - this was a long while ago though lol).

Ive had the opposite experience, the customer service of Asus when my laptop broke was a nightmare, and took me allmost 3 months to get a new one, this Asus Rog had a faul on every hardware that was possible, screen, keyboard, battery, harddisk you name it.

The cheap Acer laptop I have on my home theater runs like a charm, and its the best functional Laptop I ever had. My experience is that Acer has better laptops at least.

I bought now a 34" widescreen, and I choose Predator before Asus because of the bad customer service Ive had with Asus

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

heh, well i avoided both brands for years, but when i wanted a new fancy high end screen it was predator or swift, and i prefered asus based on the fault before, that and the number of problems family have had with acer laptops really puts me off them, end of the day, they are pretty much equal and our shared experiences kind of proves that hehe
