BenQ XL2420TE - where to buy

Let me just start by saying I've never been much of a fan of gaming monitors. They've oftentimes in the past been otherwise completely unexceptional monitors with a cool colour scheme and some skin-deep "collaboration" with a pro gamer, which basically amounted to slapping a sticker on the box and giving the aforementioned pro a few bucks for the privilege.

 

Not the case with this one. No, it's still not an IPS monitor with respect to colour reproduction, but it's also not an eyesore like every other 120Hz or 144Hz monitor I've used before. If you want "dem fast refreshes" and you don't want to wait for something with G-Sync support, this is it, folks.

Linus, would yall possibly do a review/overview of the Asus VG248QE and the G-Sync DIY upgrade kit?

[KieranThePCGuy]

Trying to find it in the UK; you watch it be stupidly expensive over here

I've been looking at it on amazon over the past week, as I'm seeking to get 3 of them, and its dropped like 20 dollars.

Is this the same as XL2420T rather than XL2420TE?

[Chatzev]

Damn, if only I had $500...

[Janne]

God damn it's so cheap in USA... 230 euros

 

over 400 euros in Finland

Yes but this one has 144Hz Ref Rate

[Osmium]

Man, if Nvidia gave this a G-Sync upgrade kit this would be perfect. Unfortunately thats the only thing stopping me from picking this up.

Yup, it's the same here in sweden unfortunately  :unsure:

[SaleemVFX]

This monitor looks so awesome    too bad G-Sync is not out yet... Hope Nvidia brings that it this monitor in the future.

[Guest GRRigger]

Price is a bit high for average gamer. Anyone else hoping for cheap G-sync? With both amd and nvidia. Lets hope.

[Impignorate]

How close is this to the colour on IPS panels.

 

Im either going to get one of these or an Qnix QX2710 Evolution 2

[RazeG3SG1]

[Awesome Donkey]

Linus, you really should try one of those (perfect pixel) Korean PLS Qnix 1440p monitors. See if you can successfully overclock one to 120Hz like I have.

[itsdeonLOL]

This monitor makes me happy  but, too bad it makes my wallet sad!

[darksoulinside]

545$ my local  <_< now I'm sad

[Tall Gora]

my biggest question... will this have a G-sync upgrade kit like the current ASUS 24 inch monitor.... I think benq would be stupid if they didnt let existing monitors be upgradeable. Only one announced so far is ASUS model though... building a new comp soon but worried about that one.
