Gaming Monitor Advice[Asus VG248QE or BenQ RL2455HM]

[MightyMalus]

Can someone help me out here?

I have a few questions about the specifications of these monitors.

Alright, so the obvious is that ASUS has faster refresh 144>120.
Now, both of them have response time of 1ms. Good.

Now, the other stuff.

Is more brightness better? If so, Asus wins here.

What about contrast ratio? Asus claims 80,000,000:1 while BenQ is at 12,000,000:1 =/ Huge difference! What is better?

In a way it does seem like the Asus is the better one.

Asus -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236313

BenQ -> http://shop.benq.us/ProductDetail.aspx?id=502
(Hate that its not on newegg...but they have the 27" one! $500 =/ )

So, what's better? Asus hands down?

Oh, and most Importantly! I haven't used a monitor in a while...this should work perfectly using my A10-5800k on an ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M mobo, right?

EDIT: Seems they aren't that great? TN panels? Anything 24" 1080p and 120Mhz? And around $300 max?

The color with the Asus is horrible

I read about it =/ But both have the same type of screen...I'm still looking around.

Something 24" I seriously think a 27" is too big as I sit just about 2'(almost) away from the screen.

If you want the PC mainly for gaming, the Asus is best (you may need to calibrate/tweak settings) If you need to. I have used Asus monitors for a long time for gaming, and for gaming, they are fine and the tech support is good.

Yeah. I kept my 27" Asus VG278H and slid it over to my main PC. It's too big. Even at 32" away (almost 3')
