Both the G2400WD and V2400W have a headphone jack for audio transmitted through hdmi. So if you use hdmi with your gaming console then you can plug your headphones right into the monitor, or use an audio cable to plug the headphone jack of the monitor to an auxiliary jack in a speaker. By the...

You'll get the cost of the monitor back, but not the cost of shipping (both the cost to ship it to you and the cost the ship it back). That is easily $60+ that you'll lose. I have a G2400WD and love it. I think you're right on the money that the G2400WD and V2400W are the same panel with the...

Take a look at the back of your 360 with the stock audio/video cable plugged in. The end of the audio/video cable that comes with the 360 is bulky, covering part of the hdmi port. This unfortunately means that you can't use the stock cable for audio and then plug in an hdmi cable. I ended up...

Yes you're right, the Gateway FHD2400 is glossy. And I hated the glossiness for the most part (watching yourself playing a dark game is not fun), but it did make bright games and movies very vibrant and amazing to watch.

I don't have any experience with the Samsung, LG, or G2400W, but I do have a G2400WD. Although the colors on the G2400WD are accurate, I wouldn't call them vibrant. The picture doesn't pop out at you like it does on some other monitors (for example, the Gateway FHD2400). I absolutely love my...

I have a G2400WD and use it to play high end pc games at 1920x1200, xbox 360 at 1080p, and standard def movies. I will agree with you that there isn't a wow factor when viewing this monitor. I had tried out a Gateway FHD2400 before buying the G2400WD and that screen definitely had the wow...

No, it doesn't matter. I used the coupon to buy a G2400WD and had never shopped from benq.com before.

Yes, bars at the side. I believe standard tv input is 640x480, so I stretch tv media in a media player to fill the screen vertically while maintaining 4:3, which leaves bars on the left and right sides. Although stretching a 16:9 source to 16:10 usually doesn't look too bad, stretching a 4:3 to...

I use a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 (link). I'm out of state right now at an internship so I couldn't bring my TV. The Hauppauge was a perfect solution for me since I didn't want to add any more hardware inside my pc case, and I didn't want to waste my pc's processing power on video transcoding...

1) Yes, the image was stretching. The G2400WD is a 1920x1200 screen, and the max resolution an xbox360 can display is 1080p (1920x1080). In other words, 1080p in 1:1 aspect on the G2400WD will have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen because the 1080p fills the screen horizontally but...

I can't confirm it because I don't have a T241W, but I've heard that it does have 1:1 aspect option. The G2400WD does offer a faster response time when in overdrive (2ms), but I run my G2400WD at the default 5ms without any problems. The G2400WD does offer vga, dvi, and hdmi, while the T241W...

I have a G2400WD. It still has the black bar flickering problem. On mine it is just barely visible along the top, and the bottom flickering is more visible but still doesn't bother me at all. I think people still like to get the W because there is such a huge thread for it with...

I think you could physically attach the stand to the back of the monitor upside down, but the base of the stand does not look screw-friendly. You might be able to do what you want with a wall mountable stand and screwing the wall-mount part into the ceiling of the top of your desk. Or depending...

I returned two March 2008 models due to heavy blb that beg to differ. Glad your monitor came out well, at least it shows that not every fhd2400 has blb problems.

I bought this one for my G2400WD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824994001 I bought it from buy.com though cause it was a little cheaper. This stand provides tilt, height, and pivot adjustments. But since it is only rated for a 22" screen, you won't be able to pivot...

My G2400WD from benq.com came from TN, and I currently live in TX.

As a comparison, there are no peanuts or innerbox with the G2400WD packaging. You open up the box and just slide out the monitor wedged between two pieces of styrofoam. Unlike the V2400W, the stand for the G2400WD is changeable and does not come attached, so the box is much thinner.

I also recently received a G2400WD from benq.com and it has a red stuck pixel in the top-left corner (1" from the top, 2" from the left). I tried jscreenfix and massaging a couple of times but it's still there. Mine isn't in a place where it really bothers me during normal pc use and it's...

I don't know the packaging for the V2400W, but the packaging for the G2400WD is substandard in my opinion. The box is pretty much the exact size/shape of the screen, so any significant damage to the box would also damage the monitor. When I received mine there were some smalldents on the outside...

I have an evga 8800 gtx and haven't experienced any problems at all with the G2400WD.

I recently went with the G2400WD and I am very happy with it. I'm currently playing crysis on pc over dvi at 1920x1200 at high detail settings, and ninja gaiden 2 on 360 over hdmi at 1080p. Both look amazing. I didn't even have to calibrate the colors. 1:1 aspect option (which I use) and I...

I have a G2400WD and a evga 780 sli mb with a evga 8800gtx connected through dvi. I have no problems seeing the bios. In fact, since I use 1:1 aspect ratio, the bios screen isn't stretched to hell trying to fit the screen and instead is in an easily legible about 800x600 box in the center. By...

I also have one stuck pixel, but it is in the top-left corner so it doesn't bother me. I don't have any random flickering problems though. Under what circumstances is this happening to you?

I've had a G2400WD for a week now, and it does have a headphone jack for use with audio over hdmi. I've tested it with my 360 and it works perfectly. The vertical viewing angle isn't amazing, but it's alright. You can still read the screen when looking from above. I only ever watch the screen...

You can look for dead/stuck pixels using dead pixel buddy: http://www.laptopshowcase.co.uk/downloads.php?id=1 And you can try to unstick stuck pixels using jscreenfix: http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php Another thing to look out for is backlight bleeding (blb). I had that problem with the...

Both the G2400WD and V2400W have DVI, VGA, and HDMI. I can only comment on the picture quality of the G as I don't own a V. I've been running pc over dvi at 1920x1200 and xbox360 over hdmi at 1080p. Gaming on both the pc and 360 is great. I didn't even have to adjust the colors. Blacks come...

Hey Obsessed, If the blb isn't bothering you and you like the monitor, then go ahead and keep it. The 1565.jpg picture makes the blb looks like more than just minor. If you've had the monitor for 2 weeks already then it's already too late to return it to BB (check the back of your receipt for...

Just got my G2400WD today after all the rave reviews on the G2400W. Here is my 5 minute impression: -Great picture. I realized with the Gateway FHD2400 how much I dislike glossy screens, so this matte screen suits me perfectly. -One stuck pixel that I haven't been able to get rid of yet...

The V2400W has a matte screen, not glossy. You may also want to consider the G2400WD, which is a good $50 cheaper than the V2400W and seems to have similar specs (although the design is not as trendy).

Link to FHD2400 thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1231866 (for future reference, use the search feature) I bought the FHD2400 from BB a few weeks ago. The picture looks amazing the first 3-4 days. Then, backlight bleeding (blb) started coming in and got steadily worst every...

I just returned a fhd2400 to BB about a week ago. I can confirm there was no restocking fee. I got my full money back (and full money back for the service plan I had bought for the monitor).

Hi guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on a BenQ G2400WD, but I was wondering where would be the best place to purchase it from? Here are my choices and concerns so far: Buy.com: I've bought with them before. Price is $380 with free shipping. Does anyone know their monitor return policy...

I have an Adaptec GameBridge (you can see it at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812193020&Tpk=adaptec%2bgamebridge). I use it for my Wii. The video quality is alright, but the software it comes with sucks. It works as a temporary solution when I'm interning out of state...

Hey SanitysEdge, glad to hear you're impressed. I am returning my fhd2400 today and am trying to decide between the g2400w, g2400wd, and v2400w. If you have a gaming console with hdmi (xbox360 or ps3), could you please test if the D has the flickering black bar problem on 1080p?

Check your PM.

Yes, I can confirm the latest March revision still has bad BLB. I returned my first fhd2400 after 2 weeks because of BLB, but the BLB on it was bad by the end of the first week. My second fhd2400, which I kept at 0 brightness from the moment I turned it on, started having BLB on the 4th day...

So I picked up a fhd2400 2 weeks ago from BB for $480. Everything looked great for the first couple of days, then I started noticing BLB. The BLB appeared around all 4 edges of the monitor and continued to get worst until I finally brought it back to BB right before the 14 day period ended and...
