I can't bother comparing each specification one by one.. =P

Do you know what did they improve with that one? Big lines seem to be the same: 1ms, 144hz, fullhd

looks like the z series with blur reduction option, only they added some inbuilt nvidia digital vibrance style setting and fancy stand. Probably nothing else :D maybe improvements to overdrive but would have to check.

I asked you once before but I have more spare cash now. Which benq would you recommend?

xl2411z unless you need display port I guess, I use display port now so it would be the xl2420z/xl2430t. Just buy the latest baring in mind September will bring the BenQ gsync monitors... also the same I bet but with that feature too. Have to wait and see though.

If you dont want the BenQ blur reduction which not everyone uses, the Iiyama gb2488hsu and ASUS vg248qe might be cheaper.

awesome, thanks very much

You're welcome! :)

You can find superior CRTs at the dump for free also. Especially if you live in a large city.

What monitor do you use now?

What's the reason to use DisplayPort again? Besides higher resolution support... I know there was some other reason, right?

Also, any word on what the BenQ gsync/freesync monitors will cost?

The second reason is that G-Sync will work only at DisplayPort.

I've read that g-sync is pretty useless at higher framerates. It's mainly for 60fps and such.

it's completely useless if your framerate is equal to or greater than your refresh rate. for games like quake, you would not use g-sync, you would use ulmb.

Yeah so unless you play 10 year old games you actually want adaptive sync.

The "digital vibrance" color stuff can make spotting enemies in CS:GO a lot easier. That can't be the only reason they made a new monitor though...

BenQ =/= Call of Duty

It kinda is, though.

i dropped $400 on a 2420t a year and a half ago and 3 new versions have been realeased since then, the te, z, and now the 30t.. sigh

don't worry. there's more to come.

wouldn't be surprised

How does it compare to the viewsonic vx2268wm?

well, i already have the vx2268wm which i noted you liked. besides the 20% increase in Hz, I was wondering if the newer 144hz monitors are better since i have no first-hand experience with.. i'm especially interested in the ones with a blur reduction feature.

Some new ones 144Hz are significantly better than viewsonic vx2268wm. Most quake players prefer blur reduction feature to be turned off.

So... what's your feedback? Any noticeable improvements over the xl2420z, in particular for fast fps games like quake? :)

Just got this week, for 33% cheaper over ebay, headphone hook, metal stand and base feels nicely built, quality, all other features are hard to resist, i play with 125 fps + 144hz on this monitor, needed 1 or 2 days of color calibration, profile installing and lots of tests in quake and csgo, and after few days i am getting used to it, great stuff, don't see any marginal improvement in performance over my previous 2420tx 3D 120hz 2ms, but this 144hz motion is super smooth after reconfiguring settings, and i play with blur reduction off, setting color vibrance 1 notch down, black equalizer 0 or 2,
