I am buying a monitor today, which would you go with? I can get the better price on the Samsung, if that makes a difference, but I will have to wait a couple weeks to get it(back-ordered). I will likely get the BenQ in much less time. The adjustable height is nice on the Sammy, the color seems better on the BenQ. It will cost me $400-ish for the BenQ, about the same for the Samsung, but if I minus out the gift cards I can use on the Samsung, it will probably cost me less than $100 out of pocket ($96.35, if I calculated right). However, I could always save the gift cards, for what I don't know.
 
Get the G2400w it has an extra input (hdmi) plus has scaling modes which is good if you ever want to hook up a xbox 360, PS3, etc to it.
 
I have a 55 inch HDTV, which all of my consoles are hooked up to. It will be exclusively a computer monitor.
 
this thing has very low input lag.
Any local stores carrying it yet...this looks like the one for me.
 
I am using the monitor.

Input lag test is true. It's faster than my Dell 2005WFP by 5 to 15 ms and the Dell has no noticeable lag.

It's a nice TN Panel. Most have said it's better than the 245BW and I would probably agree. The HDMI and DVI work excellently with a 360 or PS3. The VGA not so much because it can't do 1920x1080 without stretching vertically.

Cheers,

I couldn't find a US source for the BenQ. But I did find the Samsung 245BW for $399 locally. I bought it! :)
 
I bought a 245BW a month or so ago. Was really nervous going in to it because I had read so many reviews. Good GOD it's wonderful. I understand the viewing angle complaints if it was a TV, but as a monitor you'll never see them. I notice no lag at all vs a CRT. (Then again it has one of the lowest lags for a LCD). Hope you enjoy it!
