need help chosing a screen

[the_bone_reaper]

hio guys i am hunting for a screen from benq and it has to be a 24 inch one can you guys help me please

 

[Snortan]

Do you have a budget? Does it have to be benq? What is the main use for it?

 

[the_bone_reaper]

$500\$550 yer it is the one brand i have decided on and it will be for gaming and movies

Do you want 1440p?

 

[Snortan]

My first choice would be BenQ BL2411PT, IPS panel(better colours and viewing angles than other panels), 1200p, reviews seem to be pretty good.
Otherwise if you want 120hz, BenQ XL2411T, TN panel which is great for games but colour reproduction lacks compared to IPS.

i have been looking at BenQ XL2420TE 24in LED 144Hz Gaming Monitor and BenQ XL2411T 24in LED 144Hz Gaming Monitor are they any good

 

[Snortan]

Yea they are both great monitors.XL2420TE has +1 hdmi, usb hub, profile switcher, better osd, different looks. You can't go wrong with either of them tbh.

- How soon are you buying/needing it?
- What kind of gaming do you do? (RTS/FPS/Facebook)
- Are you set on a resolution?

Well untill you make your mind up about those questions we can't really help you.

i have a Samsung 14 or 15 inch screen will it work with the 24 inch in duel screen mode or should i get two of the same screen?

 

[Snortan]

If you have the appropriate outputs from your GPU it should work just fine but it will be looking weird and I find using two monitors with different resolutions to be inconvenient.

If you are prepared to wait....maybe look into this monitor......http://www.anandtech.com/show/7627/asus-at-ces-2014

 

[the_bone_reaper]

ok that you Snortan and Morley what will the price be

 

[Snortan]

For that Asus PG278Q? it hasn't been released yet but it's expected to be $800.

 

[the_bone_reaper]

for a 27 inch screen that is really not that bad and thank Snortan

 

[Snortan]

Well you can get a 2560x1440 27" PLS korean monitor for about $350 so it's not that great of a deal, but if you're in the market for a 2560x1440 with 120hz and G-Sync then it's not the worst deal I guess.
Prices for monitors with G-Sync should be coming a bit down once more manufacturers are allowed to install it in their monitor, at the moment Asus has exclusivity until Q3.
