BenQ GW2450 - $145

Both are on sale at newegg for similar prices. I play UT2004, QuakeLive and a host of other games but I'd like to keep input latency low since I'm really getting into Quake.
I feel I should mention I intend to get a Wall mount so I can set the viewing angle perfectly. I dont really get how viewing angle matters for someone sitting in a chair facing the screen completely. I'm not going to have office workers looking at the screen from the sides or anything this is for home gaming use.

I already have a Dell U2211H for desktop/webbrowsing/movies. So I have the "quality" screen covered I think. Until I can get a 1920x1200 or x1440 display anyways but thats another thread.

Which would you choose and why? Ive heard the difference between 2ms and 4ms is noticeable. Of course I would love a 120hz display but for $120-145 I think these should bring a noticeable improvement to my gaming for the next few years until the price of 120 and 144hz displays drops.

I found this good review of the BenQ http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_gw2450hm.htm but unfortunately they did not review the Asus as well. Professional reviews on that are sparse.

Anyone with a lot of experience with TN panels? Are they REALLY that bad? I care about gaming latency but if the BenQ is good enough at that AND a vastly superior display then I can pony up the extra cash.

Please reply today since the deals expire today!

What we call the respond rate is the time it takes pixels to change from black to color. Thanks the princess. With crts a different technology, but still this is the most important, because it indicates how fast pixels regenerate. 2 ms (grey-grey) is a must for a gamer screen.

This isn't the thread I was searching nevermind. 🙂

...wut? I know what GTG is.

I bought the BenQ and its... problematic. Even with the premium mode on I'm noticing trailing from purple and green objects in Quake. On the upside it does seem a little more responsive.
