New monitor

Post by Necromancer »

Monitor died.
Need new one.
Please seggest a good 24" 1080p (or more) 120Mhz refresh (or more) with good responsiveness/input lag at ~300$

I was looking at the Asus vg248qe but some people say its colors suck, can someone confirm/deny?

I use a Benq xl2411t at 144 Mhz. Default colors are crap. It takes some playing around but it turns out good. I calibrated it with a colorimeter but if you don't have one there is a good review with optimum settings suggested.

It's pretty praised monitor and I think its price has gone down.

I checked the Benq as well, but its hard to find. The xl2420T or TE is ~430$, the Asus one is half this price.

If you really care about the colors get that. Personally I have the ASUS VG248QE and the colors are fine for me.

The marketing gimmicks (120MHz and black correction) have me sold. Just have to wait for my monitor to die.

I never noticed any color diffrences between the monitors i had and i couldnt care less that my "black" color isnt truely black, so guess im not picky at all. Its just hard to judge how "bad" it is based on text reviews. Some of them really make a fuss about it.

I have the asus that Yonder has as well. Great monitor.

To be honest any 144hz monitor is going to be killer, if you have a rig that can get you those frames

Recently got this monitor too and would recommend it. Still using everything as default, will have to check for some decent settings though.

Is it worth waiting for g-sync?

BenQ XL2420TE 144Hz is the best gaming monitor I've seen thus far. I would personally look into G-Sync though if you're running Nvidia or plan on it.
