taim Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Is the BenQ 24" Widescreen LED Monitor With 1ms Response Time (XL2430T) any good? I currently have a FPD1775W from Gateway so anything would be an upgrade. I'd be watching movies and browsing the web with it. Also I want something nice to browse Neowin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted December 26, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2014 There actually some TN panels blow away IPS panels. At his price range, I'd highly doubt it.

Ambroos Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'd like to see actual proof to backup your claim My VAIO has a TN display, and in terms of colour reproduction it's incredibly good. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Sony-Vaio-VPC-Z13B7E-subnotebook.46531.0.html But as said above, these laptops were a niche market and the base model started out at 1700 euros, so yeah... Go for an IPS display. One of the Dells, you can't go wrong with any IPS Dell really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted December 26, 2014 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 26, 2014 OP should definately get an IPS Since He said movies and browsing. TN is only for serious gaming. IPS nowadays have 5ms which is much more then enough.

Go for an IPS display. One of the Dells, you can't go wrong with any IPS Dell really. The review you posted shows horrible viewing angles. An angle of what looks like 20-25 degrees up and down, the brightness is seriously affected, and colors don't look the same. Same with all the tn panels.

nosense Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Base on specs i'm guessing you're a gaming, 144hz and 1ms would be great for twitch base gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosense Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 120-144hz and 1ms is a pretty big deal when it comes to gaming, But if you're only watching movies and web browsing go with an ips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosense Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 While that asus is a great monitor, some gamers want less than 5ms and atleast 120hz. But most shoot for 140hz refresh rates, since it's the lastest tech. Oh ? You sure about that ? Or are you basing this on one monitor ?

Given that, I would have thought wide viewing angle would be the number one requirement, followed by a decent colour range, then followed by g2g speed.

Isnt wide viewing angle kind of silly, as most people sit right infront of the monitor ? Jaybonaut 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought it was important as people tend to move around a little more when watching long TV shows/movies. Just my 2 pence though.
