    They both use TN panels, so quality won't be too different from an average laptop screen.

    Both have 5ms response time. Good enough for gaming.

    The westinghouse is obviously larger, and it has a slightly higher resolution, with an extra 180 horizontal lines over the Asus.

    The asus has a better contrast ratio with 1000:1. the westinghouse has a 750:1.

    same viewing angles for both

    Asus is 16:9, and the westinghouse is 16:10. That alone would make me take the westinghouse.

    Westinghouse I recommend. The better resolution it has and design is nicer of it. Let the force be with you.

    I would take Westinghouse just for the 16:10 ratio.

    I like the fact it has the 16:10 ratio. and of course screen size.

    You can save that extra $40 by going with the Asus! ;)

    In the end, it comes down to what you want. :D
