What's the best?
I've heard stories about the ASUS one etc having this half pixels only be displayed etc. I just want a good quality 3D Vision monitor, no issues, and 27" ¬_¬

Curious what you mean by no issues?
I own 3 of the Acer 27" monitors:
Acer HN274Hbmiiid
These are 3D vision 1, not 2, so be aware of that. However, I don't think I'd upgrade to 2 even if it didn't cost me anything. These particular monitors are very bright, and 3D images are quite clear, even after the darkening from the glasses shudder effect.
I've heard that the 3D vision 2 glasses have a larger frame that can create distracting reflections. I don't know how much of an issue that really is, but having owned many pairs of glasses that had even subtle reflections, I know how annoying even very small reflections can be and would rather not risk that particular problem.
I've owned 1 of my monitors for at least 2 years now and it is still going strong. I own 3 monitors in all. As far as I can tell I don't have a single dead pixel on any of them - although I have not run any programs that make dead pixels obvious specifically because they'll be more distracting if I know they're there.
So, here are the "down sides":
There's noticeable ghosting with scenes that have bright objects behind dark objects, but I don't think there's a 3D monitor out there that doesn't have that problem. Still, if you haven't used 3D before, just be prepared for this inevitability. It doesn't bother me much, but it may bother some a lot.
These monitors take a long time to turn on. 20-30 seconds from the time you hit the power button, until the time you see anything. I have my OS on an SSD. If I turn my computer on and turn my monitor on at the same time. My monitor won't show a picture until Windows is already at the login screen.
The above isn't a big deal when you first turn your monitors on - since your computer is starting up anyway - BUT... it is annoying when your monitors go to sleep. I sometimes wake my monitors up, go get a drink, and come back just because I don't want to sit around and wait. This is a minor nuisances, but one you'll definitely notice.
These monitors have a habit of getting locked in 3D mode, and they have no simple command to get out of it. This isn't a big deal unless (like me) you run a 2D mode profile where the brightness is as low as it goes.
These monitors are VERY bright. I keep the brightness at the monitor's absolute minimum when I don't have the glasses on because it's just too bright for my eyes otherwise. When the monitor is in 3D mode, the brightness is automatically set to maximum and it [i]cannot be changed[/i]! The easiest way to get the monitors out of 3D mode if they get locked in it is to open the nvidia control panel, launch the 3D test application, and then close it after it's finished loading.
All that being established, I would [b]HIGHLY[/b] recommend these monitors. They have performed excellently for me. The 3D quality is very high - much less ghosting than early 3D vision 1 monitors, very good brightness for 3D, and the panels are very high quality.
The monitors come with a built in transmitter and a pair of wireless glasses to boot, and they work fine for 3D surround (I have 3 of them, and having 3 built in transmitters isn't a problem at all, they work flawlessly without any fiddling or special settings).
They're also ridiculously low in price on Amazon right now. I bought my 1st monitor for over $650 2 years ago. My next 2 were $600 a piece just under a year ago. They are now available on Amazon for $430! That's a steal for a 27", 1080p, 120Hz panel that's nvidia 3D vision ready.
Oh, and if all that weren't enough to sell you, the monitor comes with 2 (or 3?) HDMI ports and 1 DVI-D port, so you can have (at least) 3 devices hooked up at once - and all 3 can support 3D*.
*Note: this monitor can't decode 3D on it's own. If you're planning to hook up an external blu-ray player to the monitor (for example), you'll need to purchase a blu-ray player that can decode the 3D content on it's own as the monitor can only process the decoded signal, it does not have the hardware or software necessary to decode the encoded video file.

Thanks for the big post ialsoagree!
I've had 3D Vision in the past with the original samsung monitor, but due to a split with the ex, some of the stuff I did own was taken. ¬_¬ I also owned the 3D stuff from e-dimensional YEARS ago when games like GTA3 came out.
ANYWAY, I hope these monitors are a decent upgrade to that samsung monitor as I thought it was pretty weak as monitors go.
I really wish they had a IPS version, then my worries wouldn't exist, I really try to avoid TN panels.
Is the checkerboarding really a minor issue? I hope so!
Anyway I'm pretty damn tempted to get that monitor it was either that or the BenQ 27" but I've heard the greyscale in that monitor is pretty terrible.
I really hope the colour quality doesn't let me down :(

I got the VG278H in March 2012 incidentally from the Overclockers website too, I've been using them for at about 10-12 years I think, and haven't got a bad thing to say about them or the Asus monitor.
I'm assuming here that the 144hz monitor is probably very similar build and image quality to the VG278H, if I'm wrong then I apologise! If they are roughly equivalent then I really recommend it to anyone who isn't in the market for a 3D projector or gaming in 2D above 1920x1080, and is predominantly interested in 3D.
In my own experience with the 8H it's awesome for 3D gaming. If you set it up correctly you can get really vibrant colour in 2D, brightness doesn't suffer in 3D, ghosting is minimal but can never be completely avoided as with pretty much all monitors.
Viewing angles suffer in 2D unless you are in the 'sweet spot', and in 2D you can sometimes detect slight colour separation when reading forums. Nobody will want it for professional imagework, but for gaming I swear by it 100%.
The 144hz setting is only applicable to 2D, in 3D you will be running either in 100hz or 120hz. If I'm correct I believe there will be some G-Sync modules available to fit to that screen, which would be interesting. If they release them for the 8H I'll be after one immediately!
The 3D Vision 2 glasses do have reflective frames, however I have never found it distracting.

Asus VG278H is what I use and it's a perfect monitor for 3d use but it really suck in 2d but im pretty sure it goes for all the rest as this is TN panels we are talking about.
The best you can do is hold on for a G-Sync monitor or else you will regret not waiting, just saying.
Of course they will also be TN panels but you know about G-Sync so wait!

I use the VG278HE. Very good 3d monitor! Very little crosstalk with contrast at half. I think the 2d is okey enough. I use Standard Mode, and reduced color a bit, and adjusted "color temps" and I think I've balanced it out quite well. It's at least as good as my old Samsung in 2d, but much much brighter. I'd recommend any of the Lightboost monitors, as lightboost really makes a difference, as I upgraded from 3dv 1. Big difference.

VG278HE user here too chiming in. Have three of them for surround 3D, they're probably the best you can get out of a TN panel. 27" @1080p is starting to push things though, you can certainly discern pixels if you are sitting a bit close. For a single display, i would stick with the 24" version as you'll likely be sitting closer. For surround the 27"ers are fine as you sit a bit further back.
Colour and black levels are great. Never going to touch an IPS panel but blow any other TN panel out of the water. Good price, nice and clean looking bezels. Highly recommended.

I have the Asus VG278H and absolutely love it. Highly recommeded! I know it's a TN panel but it's good enough for me. 120hz 2d gaming was amazing and with Helixmod out there, there are lots of 3d options as well.

I'm using a VG278HE. I really feel like it was built for a single purpose - 3D gaming. The color reproduction is not great and it's not very bright. My ASUS 236H had much better brightness and color reproduction, but it was 1st gen and so no Lightboost. When playing games, the 27" is superior, because there is much less ghosting and no discernable loss in brightness while wearing the glasses due to the Lightboost feature. When using it for normal 2D desktop tasks however, it is inferior.

Well, I have not used any other monitors than the ASUS VG278H, which I own but I have to say I really like the display. Yes, it is a TN panel so if you're coming from an IPS or some other betterl picture quality tech, you might not like the colours so much. But I got used to it and still get impressed with a lot of scenes I see on it, so it's not a huge issue.
I've had it for a year and have not experienced any half-pixel problems. There's pretty much no backlight bleed and no ghosting at all. At 27" it is also a great size - not too large, not too small. I'm not sure if I'd go bigger as that would probably require more head movement.
All in all, I would recommend this LCD if you need a 120Hz display, especially with 3D Vision support.

How worthy of an upgrade is the Asus VG278H over the Alienware OptX AW2310. I'm mostly interested in going to a larger monitor and one that has less crosstalk which is an issue I have with the Alienware.

I have a VG278H and a ROG Swift, and the 278H is definitely superior in 3d. Hell, the Swift develops backlight problems in 3d mode after an hour or so (I get a dark "C" shaped area on the left, and the right side of the monitor gets about 10 percent darker than the rest)

The best you can do is hold on for a G-Sync monitor or else you will regret not waiting, just saying.
Of course they will also be TN panels but you know about G-Sync so wait!

Colour and black levels are great. Never going to touch an IPS panel but blow any other TN panel out of the water. Good price, nice and clean looking bezels. Highly recommended.

I've had it for a year and have not experienced any half-pixel problems. There's pretty much no backlight bleed and no ghosting at all. At 27" it is also a great size - not too large, not too small. I'm not sure if I'd go bigger as that would probably require more head movement.
All in all, I would recommend this LCD if you need a 120Hz display, especially with 3D Vision support.
