I've been reading contradicting things about the benQ 24" all day, and I would like someone to tell me, once and for all, will it work flawlessly with my 360 (and which benQ model is best?). I've read that they fixed the 1:1 pixel mapping, and then I read that the update really didn't fix the problem. anyone use it for 360? i'm scared to buy one cause i had a 2407 which produced a terrible picture via 1:1 and aspect ratio (tearing/baning lines through center of screen!) my confidence in lcd monitors has decreased after that. thanks in advance!

FINAL Verdict on BenQ 24"!!??

Yeah, I'm still totally confused about whether to pull the trigger on The FP241W. The more I research the subject the more confused I feel!
If someone could definitively tell me if the FP241W Z is any different than the standard FP241W apart from the BFI feature I'd be hugely grateful. Also could anyone who has the Z version tell me if it makes any practical difference?

It's ok. I have followed the monitor for awhile now, and have owned it for almost a year now. It's a great computer monitor, nice uniformity and black levels for an LCD. As a multi media monitor, that's where it is weak. 1:1 mapping works, but you have to use aspect mode for mostly everything, and it has over scan issues (which never bothered me that much).
Also if you live in the North America there is no update on the firmware that fixes 480i/p wide screen aspect. So anything that is 480I/P like the Wii or DVD's in that aspect ratio can't be displayed properly unless you have a PS3 which does all the upscale for you, and tells the monitor it's a 1080P signal no matter what media is playing.
Lets put it this way, it will work with the Xbox 360 with games in 720P/ 1080I/P but it will have a slight over scan.
I have a PS3 personally and have used it for almost a year now with this monitor, it's fine nothing that breaks the gaming experience as they say. I just bought a new HDTV though and am relegating the BenQ to purely a computer monitor which it does well, but it's no replacement for an actual HDTV is the bottom line.
