I was already quite happy with the cheap 27" Acer monitor from December 2014 (also for $199)... so getting the same brand made a lot of sense to me. According to the details, the new 32" monitor is faster at 4ms vs the old 27" monitor, which lists 6ms. For video gaming, you want a lower response time.
