The monitor is very well built and has a great crystal clear display.

Straight out of the box the BenQ is better in terms of color/image quality, which most higher refresh rate monitors (120-144hz) suffer from.

Overall, this monitor is simply one of the best you can possibly get.

After using the Asus VG248QE for a couple of days and being severely disappointed with the overall white washed / dirty contrast and poor RBG scaling I decided to return it and order this one. Straight out of the box the BenQ is better in terms of color/image quality, which most higher refresh rate monitors (120-144hz) suffer from. Although it still isn't an IPS panel, it's the best that TN panel will get at this refresh rate. Worth the extra $ over the cheaper Asus counterpart.

If you're on the fence with spending the extra, you'll get what you pay for. If you feel like dealing with horrendous display profile programs and having to switch modes every game then save your $ and get the Asus VG248QE.

If you want better out of the box/hassle free and the best color reproduction you'll see at 144hz then spend the extra $ and get this monitor.

If my opinion isn't convincing. Check out Linus' review of the Xl2420TE.

If you still remember what CRT gaming was like before LCD monitors took over, get ready to be impressed by this monitor. You can run it with ZERO ghosting. I just got mine yesterday and I'm still tweaking my color settings, but I love what I see so far while gaming. If you have sensitive eyes like I do, this is the perfect monitor for you. I always set my monitors' brightness very low since I spend a lot of time staring at screens. Combine that with the smooth 144 Hz refresh rate and zero flicker of this monitor and you'll be set for hours of comfortable screen-staring.

You can also choose to use a utility called "Strobelight by ToastyX" to enable LightBoost (normally reserved for 3D, it's a backlight strobe synchronized to the refresh rate), which introduces flicker, but completely eliminates motion blur just like old CRTs. (If you're comparing this monitor to others, this is not the only monitor that can do this, there's a list here: [...]

This monitor is targeted as a gaming monitor, and I think it succeeds beautifully in this area. I have mine placed beside a high-end IPS monitor that I use when I need perfect color for photographs, etc, which makes the lower color range on this monitor more apparent, but I got acceptable settings by tweaking this monitor's sRGB profile. If you intend to use it as your only screen (or with another TN panel), I wouldn't worry about the color too much. It's definitely acceptable, and I feel that the speed/fluidity while gaming is totally worth it.

Those are the most noteworthy features of the monitor. Other little things that are nice are the solid build quality plus a nice stand that goes pretty high and can rotate. Also I have no dead pixels on mine.

First thing I noticed about this monitor is that it is BRIGHT, by far the brightest monitor I've ever used. Games are super smooth and blur free, the 144hz and incredibly low input lag make this the ideal monitor for FPS games. I was playing Metro Last Light earlier today and it look stunning. For anything with black text on a white background you'll probably want to turn the brightness down quite a bit, it's like staring at a light bulb if you don't. (If I need to illuminate my desk at night now I can just open Notepad and make it fullscreen, who needs a desk lamp?) The monitor was easy to assemble, had no dead or stuck pixels, and the stand allows for a wide range of height adjustment. You can also rotate it 90 degrees for portrait mode. One thing I wanted to mention was that the headphone jack will play audio received over HDMI for anyone wondering. I plugged in my PS3 via HDMI and it worked great. Obviously it wont decode Dolby Digital/DTS/etc so just make sure to set whatever HDMI device you use to output 2 channel PCM audio only if you want to use the headphone jack on the monitor. If gaming and multimedia are the primary uses of your PC you will absolutely love this monitor.

If you are having any trouble enabling 120hz or 144hz refresh rates check the specs of your video card. My card, a Radeon HD 6850, has two DVI ports but as I eventually discovered only one is dual link (you need to use a dual link DVI port to utilize 120hz+ refresh rates). I had it plugged into the single link port and it took about 30 minutes of troubleshooting before I realized what the issue was.

Before I got this monitor, I was using a Dell ST2210 21.5 inch monitor for my current rig. Needless to say, equipping a 60hz monitor with a GTX 670 graphics card does leave a lot to be desired. I was getting sick and tired of all the screen tearing, mouse lag from V-sync, and graphic let downs that the 2210 was giving me, so I decided to give this monitor a go.

When I first plugged this monitor in and connected it to my graphics card, I had to cover my eyes for a bit to be honest. This screen is RIDICULOUSLY bright!! It completely destroys my Dell monitor in terms of how bright it can be set to, and after comparing the two monitors, I had to tone down this BenQ monitor to 30% brightness so that it would be on the same level as my Dell!

I had also been using HDMI for my Dell monitor, but I'm glad I hooked up DVI instead for this device, because you won't be able to get anything better than 60hz for HDMI, so DVI is definitely the way to go here. Also, make sure that you adjust your graphic settings so that 144hz is enabled instead of the standard 60hz. When I first did that, I immediately noticed how much smoother the mouse movement is on my PC, which I knew was a good start.

But enough of the small stuff, I quickly started up Bioshock Infinite to really test this monitor out when I first got it. Needless to say, I was simply BLOWN AWAY at how good this monitor is. There was ZERO lag from my games in terms of the output that was being displayed from the combination of the card and the monitor. Everything felt really sharp, crisp, and truly amazing compared to my Dell monitor.

That being said, there were a couple of down sides to this monitor in terms of comparing it to my Dell.
