Hi Benasz, welcome to [H]ardforum.

I'm currently using a Samsung 24D390HL as my primary monitor. I've had it for over a year and I've been very satisfied for the price I paid for it. It's basic, only one hdmi input and one vga input with limited tilt, no pivot, no height adjustment and a frankly terrible stand. However, the response time, contrast, colors and general image quality is excellent. I've recently owned a Dell 2412m and an Eizo Foris FS2333 and the image quality is equal to either monitor. I watch all my movies on it (DVD and Blu-Ray) and the blu-rays look great, especially with bias lighting. I also do the majority of my PC and PS3 gaming on this monitor as well with no inverse ghosting. Plus the anti-glare coating on this monitor is both light and effective. I have not had any issues with eye strain from reading text on this monitor. Strangely enough, my Dell 2412m did.

As far as that BenQ monitor goes, I have not seen that model in person, however I have briefly owned a few VA panel monitors in the past few years. I had a 27 inch 1080p Samsung that was awesome for movies but fairly terrible for games. A lot of noticeable ghosting in dark areas. I also owned the Dell 2440STL, which was a glossy 24 inch VA panel. Personally, I would never recommend a glossy monitor to anyone. This monitor also suffered from noticeable inverse ghosting. Not all VA panels have this issue but read some reviews for the BenQ to make sure it isn't affected.

I would try to buy from Best Buy if possible, as they have a no questions asked return policy. I've returned at least three monitors that I was unsatisfied with to them without issues, within weeks of each other. Their return policy gives you a week of normal use to see how you like the new monitor. If you don't like it just drive over and pick up another one.

Also, I would take a look at this thread. It contains links to a bunch of good monitor reviews and recommendations for someone looking for a VA panel.
 
i live in another country, i cant buy from Best Buy.But is no problem, can buy from another shop.i dont know really what for me is better, VA, IPS or PLS panel.i want buy Samsung 24D390HL, but have a really terrible stand
 
This Asus IPS panel is pretty highly rated for it's price level, and sells for about $170 here in the US. Dual HDMI inputs too.

VN248H-P - Overview

I believe Asus sells worldwide.

IPS and PLA are virtually the same thing. They have marginal contrast and sometimes glow in dark rooms, but have the best viewing angles in the industry (good for sharing work with others over your shoulder). Good for color-sensitive work, since the color doesn't shift when you view them off-angle.

VA has fantastic black levels and contrast, which make them tops for viewing movies. Also some prefer them for darker video games, although they tend to have higher input lag. You get color shift off-angle, though not as bad as TN. Fewer made outside ofTVs for the obvious strengths, so you have less selection than the other two.

TN is fine for basic office work, but you see color shift off-angle, which can be annoying for sharing or working together. The fastest response times of any panel, and can be configured to look just as good as any other panel tech if you're looking front and center.

I have found that newer IPS and PLS monitors have better than marginal contrast. Early S-IPS panels suffered from 500:1 to 600:1 contrast (my dell 2007wfp is an example) but newer ones have 1100:1. My Samsung has a contrast ratio of 1100:1, maybe higher. I a properly lit room, its a non issue. You also don't lose details in dark areas, which do you in VA monitors.

VA panels are great for TV's, not so good for all around monitor use.

If you have a study desk of the right height and are not concerned with moving it, you forget about the terrible stand after a while. If you have a basic desk and do a ton of typing, you may notice that the monitor will actually shake a bit. It really is a shame that this stand isn't that great, because this monitor is a hidden gem. They do sell none vesa monitor mounts on ebay, but thats another $30.

TL:DR, Samsung if you have a nice, solid desk. If not and you do a ton of typing, you would need something else.
 
i have strong desk, it doest not moving, when i typing.i think i must choose a Samsung 24D390HL.I will switch this monitor in my laptop, height this monitor must be like my laptop.

I just measured, the top of the monitor is around 16 inches (39 cm).
 
I would consider the Benq GW2470H (newer VA monitor) or Samsung S24E370HL (Freesync)
 
IIyama xb2483hsu-b2 !
Especially over tragic gw2470h... which have bad motion blur.

Iiyama is new amva+ panel and with overdrive 3 option, there is almost no motion blur
