Opinions on LG 24UD58-B vs. Samsung U24E590D?
Specs look just about identical, the Samsung has a 4 ms response time and PLS compared to the LG's 5ms response time and IPS. Color gamut, size, resolution, and connections are more or less the same. The Samsung is about the same price too, $270 on Newegg through tomorrow.

wiemerimerIgnore the posted response time. It's a marketing number and real-world numbers will be higher. Both are 60hz, so ghosting will be minimal on both. However, I've used several of LG's 4k displays from this generation. They all have a weird image persistence issue. It's minor, most won't notice it, but it's there. PLS is largely identical to IPS and outside of placebo effect, you're not going to notice a difference.
However, multiple Samsung FreeSync displays have had reported issues with the range not matched the advertised amount. Also, the Samsung uses HDMI 2.0 on one port, and HDMI 1.4 on the other. The LG uses HDMI 2.0 for both ports and has no known FreeSync issues.
If I had to chose between the two I'd take the LG. But I don't think that you can go wrong with either unless you use an AMD GPU and you get a Samsung that actually has FreeSync issues.

MedionI actually don't have a Freesync compatible GPU, so Freesync is a bit of a moot point, but I never knew about the persistence issue before. I'm nervous that it would be one of those things where as soon as I notice it I will never be able to not notice it again, so the Samsung is sounding better. The VESA mount on the Samsung is in a stupid location though at the very top of the back of the monitor, so that's not very good either. Sounds like I'm in for more thinking on this.
Thanks for the info either way, I appreciate it.
