Been looking at this one lately. Unfortunately, very little is out there in the way of reviews. Any impressions would be appreciated!

I will be testing out this monitor next week. I have seen it in action at one of the local computer shops and it looks nice. I will be comparing it to a Dell U2410 and a 24 iMac non-glossy display. For the price, the specs are very competitive.
 
I'm interested to see how performs as well! everyone here talks very good with BenQ displays
 
I have also been waiting to see some reviews. Looks like i could be nice but i can't find it in town so i wont buy it online until there's more information about it.

Would also like to know if the VGA port does in fact support component input as im looking for something small with low lag for 360/PS3/Wii.
 
FINALLYY! thank you. I have been trying to fing the input lag for 2 months on this monitor, because im deciding which monitor to get for console gaming for Christmas. I narrowed it down to three monitors...this one, the LG w2442 and the acer h243h.i also need it for PS3,360,Wii....also this monitor has 2 HDMI imputs so thats a plus.
 
I might order it this weekend... Really sick of waiting. With my luck it will have like 200ms input lag, ultra horrible back light bleeding and the vga wont support component for the Wii :D

naah i think its going to be a good monitor becuase the E2400HD was real good for gaming and this its pretty much a better updated version of it. So im hoping it will be good for gaming....worst comes to worst it wont support Wii.
 
I used to have the E2400HD, if it's anything like that you'll be fine, plus it has all kinds of usb inputs which should be nice
 
Used to have the G2400W. I can't find one from a reputable seller anymore. :(

Any word on the E2420HD? Is this even out in the US?

On another note what is up with BenQ only making 1080/24inch screens?

Yup the U.S. sells it. NCIXUS.COM sells it for $270 and sometimes they have discount deals where it goes down to $230. Im still waiting to see what the input lag is for this monitor.

That's cool now if only it was a 1200. Thanks for the site though. Did you order from them before?

Nope, haven't ordered from their site but there dead pixel policy is really good. They have a 14 day 0 dead pixel policy....also for me 1920x1080 is perfect because im a console gamer. 1920x1200 is the best resolution for PC gaming???
 
Depends on what you are going for. I have a 24 BenQ that runs in 1200 already and it would look weird if I put a 1080 next to it. Just my preference I guess...
 
Yep, I decided against going with this one and went with dual Hanns Gs. After gaming on 1920 x 1200 for a couple of years 1920x1080 does not seem that attractive. Too bad tough, I love my G2400W.
 
Jesus Christ. can someone please buy this and test it? if i had $$$ i would buy it in a second considering it has 2 HDMI inputs and it 1920x1080 resolution which is perfect for console gaming and blue rays (1200 res sucks). The only problem is i dont know the input lag. But im 99% sure it has good input lag considering the E2400HD had 7ms average lag. PLEEEEASE someone buy this.
 
If you don't have the money why would it matter if someone tested it any time soon?

Fair enough hehe. I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on it but decided to get a 32 inch Panasonic HDTV
 
Wow, i can't believe nobody has tried one of these out yet. I got my HDTV but these BenQ's are on sale for $220 (Canadian) right now. I might just buy one for fun lol.
