Gaming monitor
I'm looking for a good gaming monitor, something with a low response time and high refresh rate and the least minimum lag out there. I've looked at these two, but I'm still not sure which one to pick, or if there are others I don't know about:
Asus VH236H http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236059 BenQ XL2420T http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824014270 Any suggestions? Price is not much of a problem btw |

Re: Gaming monitor
aesthetic-wise the asus looks better imo
can't say anything about performance though, but the Asus seems better bang-for-buck. |

Re: Gaming monitor
High refresh rates will only help you if the game you are playing gets fps over the stated refresh rate.
What do you usually do with your machine? If all you do is stepmania or something, in which sm has the global offset option even if a monitor has a slight display lag (which shouldn't be noticeable at all) i'd go with the cheaper one. If you do more PC gaming and want a 3d option to ever be available if you ever want to use it, be sure the games you play get over 120fps, and seriously consider the price difference lol. I've never experience 120hz in action so I wouldn't exactly know how it looks compared to 60hz. Last edited by sticklydude; 03-8-2013 at 04:16 PM.. |

Re: Gaming monitor
Get the BenQ. No contest. It is tried and true for competitive gaming.
EDIT: Quote:
EDIT2: I have talked to Staiain regarding 120 Hz monitors for StepMania. From his experience, it only makes a difference if you play on really high speed mods.

Re: Gaming monitor
BenQ. Higher refresh rates bout the same latency. If you are not going to 3d game or have a less than stellar GPU go Asus.

Re: Gaming monitor
Even if you aren't going to 3D game, the BenQ makes a huge difference if your build can handle it.

Re: Gaming monitor
Grab the Asus if your games run at 50-60fps. If you have an above average pc, and you need everything the BenQ has, grab that.
I found an Acer that's 3d ready and has a decent response time, also 120hz. Bout $100 less than the BenQ. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009222 |

Re: Gaming monitor
Lots of bad reviews on the one I posted, backlight bleeds. If you have the money, BenQ

Re: Gaming monitor
I have that exact ASUS monitor and it's fucking fantastic for the gaming I do. I have an AMD 6850 1GB, though, and most of my games run at 60fps on max with obvious exceptions for games with new shit or ultra-highres textures (Tomb Raider with TressFX which only supports 7xxx+ cards so I have to turn it off or experience 15fps, and Crysis 3, respectively)
The colors are vibrant and there are plenty of customization options in the monitor menu. It just depends on what kind of gaming you do, honestly. Dunno about you, but 60fps is smooth enough for me any day of the week. As far as SM goes, I play on C1000 distant, but I'm not speed god king Staiain xdddd |

Re: Gaming monitor
Stepmania isn't very important to me, if I wanna play Stepmania I'll play it on my laptop. lol I usually play console games more than anything though, they usually don't run at such high fps, they go at around 60 or less. Although, I'm working on a new system which will have 2 GTX Titan's in SLI, which will have very high fps. 60 fps should be okay for me though and I don't really care about 3D gaming, so I guess ASUS will be my best bet.
I also found this one which has a lower response time and basically the same specs at the same price so I'll probably be getting this one instead: ASUS VN247H-P http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236307 |

Re: Gaming monitor
If you are going 2 titans in SLI ($2,000) drop the money on 3 Benq's. It is like buying a ferrari and driving 35 mph everywhere.
"This $1,000 single-GPU card packs seven billion transistors, 6GB of RAM, and 2,688 shader cores. " LOL now double that xD Last edited by ELRayford; 03-9-2013 at 12:01 PM.. Reason: Not sure if troll post or swaggin it out... |

Re: Gaming monitor
I'm pretty sure you're swagging it out. lol but I'm not really fond of the idea of 3 monitors around me, especially the slight edges blocking the image, it's uncomfortable. I know this by experience, a friend has a setup like that.

Re: Gaming monitor
I personally would go big on a monitor if you are building a SLI Titan setup. So jelly for some Titan love.
