BenQ vs Asus

[theam123]

As I'm building my new beast computer for about 2.800$ within a few months, I want to know which monitor I should pick.

 

My choise stands between

 

BenQ XL2420Z

 

or

 

Asus VG248QE ?

[FloRolf]

Neither imho.

Better get a ips 27" 1440p or even a 4k display.

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

what ever suits your budget, bouth are great choice

[theam123]

Neither imho.

Do you have any suggestions ? 

[Sonefiler]

BenQ is the one I would trust. My GW2255 is really great.

[brownninja97]

Well the price difference is massive, ill just recommend an ultrasharp because the panels are great and dell has pretty god damn awesome support.

[FloRolf]

Do you have any suggestions ?

can you post your pc specs and your budget for the monitor?

[Askew]

Isn't that what you want and not what he wants?

 

@theam123 I'd get the BenQ personally because the backlights on new BenQ don't have PWM flicker and that one has blue light reduction both are major causes of eye strain.

well, i recommend that through owning a xl2411t

[theam123]

Well my components are pretty futuristic, as I'm waitign for the new CPU.

 

4790k

16gb ram

gtx 780 ti matrix plat from Asus

Maximus VII Formula

If you'd written that initially it would have made more sense.

yeah sry ^^

it's not that the monitor is bad and sucks but i would trade it for a bigger, higher res monitor any day

well that's pretty good. You can easily rock 1440p with that.

Maybe the Asus PB278Q. Its a little bit more expensiver than the two 144hz but i think it's worth it.

Wow with that awesome computer you should definitely go with a better screen (if you can afford to)

a 27" 1440p IPS from either ASUS or BENQ (they are both pretty much the same, you just need to pick which bonus features you like best)

Well I'm a complete retard regarding displays and so, so I have no idea what a IPS is, haha I'm trying to look through some Benq 1440 IPS and see what I can find and I'll post what I find here in a sec.

It would be nice if there were somewhere near your where you could try out some different monitors to get a better idea of what you want.

 

If you're not set on high refresh rate over IQ then I'll tell you that at those price points you can get a vertical increase in image quality at the expense of the very high refresh rate.

 

It all depends on the application, if it's 24/7 gaming, your PC is capable of driving a 144hz 1080p monitor at full speed in a number of games, but would also be capable of driving a higher resolution monitor at 60hz.

Great idea. This is how you learn about monitors

I do have a few shops nearby, what do you mean by trying different monitors?

looking at them ^^

For example if you see a gianormous difference between 60 and 120fps and such.

Also:

Ips is a panel type which basically has way better colours than a TN (which is in the 2420z or the asus), but are slower, so no 120/144 or 1ms response time.

As what I've experienced, 120 and 144hz screens are nice, if you're running a game with such high FPS. But having high fps either means you have a killer computer or your settings are low to achieve that feeling. So I rather stay with 60fps, and have a killer looking screen, rather than 120 fps with a decent looking screen

To me

 

Gaming Performance > Graphics and Colors

 

You don't really pay attention to the colors 4/5 of the time when playing something like Battlefield 4, lol.

So which monitor would you recommand me ?

Well, it mostly depends what kind of features you're looking for... But personally I would pick the XL2420Z It has awesome features!

 

 

GROM

Motion Blur Reduction 

Low Blue Light 

Black eQualizer

Flicker-free

Game Mode Loader

FPS/RTS Mode

Senseye 

AMA 

Smart Scaling

Intuitive UI

Height Adjustment + Pivot

 

 

 

Personally that's the one I'm buying as well.

[skydanny]

If be me, I would choose Asus VG248QE. Good overall performance and reasonably priced, display to 24-Inch, 144Hz / 1ms.

[Blake mcBlake]

vg248qe also gsync enabled. That's what would push me towards the Asus vs benq

[Evernbro]

I was having the same debate with myself between these two monitors, but personally I am going to be picking up the VG248QE any day now because it is more in my price range and I think that it will have a better price to performance ratio. I do not think that the extra features that the BenQ provides will be worth my 100$.
