check it out. it doesnt have the g2400 wd version, only its predecessor w. as far as i can tell from the benq website, the main difference is that the wd has faster (2ms gtg) response. even so.. look at the test results. i threw in a samusng t240, often highly praised. the lg monitor there is the one the website recommends in its class.

Coreyb, you remind me of myself when I was a boy and I saw a commercial for dinky cars that changed colours whether they were hot or cold. I was so damn excited about them it was all I talked about, until I got two of them and realized that they change colors quite slowly and are prone to sticking to one colour after a while. On the commercial they changed color back and forth instantly with water and it was amazing. I got screwed man, I got fuckin screwed and I was like 6 years old. Your much older and your getting screwed now too, and me and griffin are trying to tell you whats up. I hope you'll at least test a mva panel before you decide that TN is the greatest thing to happen to gaming since vga.

Btw, you'd be hard pressed to find any pro gamers who use a crt. I'm sure plenty use TN and MVA panels but don't try to sell anyone on the CRT thing or we'll scream witch and burn your old technology at the stake.

First, I could give you a list of pro CS players that still use CRT. Secondly, I'm not claiming that TN is the best thing since sliced bread, I just think its preferable when all you care about is having the fastest response. I know there are some MVA panels (but very $$) that also have a low response rate, but for the money you can't beat a monitor like the G2400W.

I would use a different monitor if I was more casual and didn't care about having the fastest response.

Go look in the LCD thread under the top gaming monitors, I promise you that you will not find your monitor there.
