I being looking for the past month and I just can't deal with having to play every game limited to 60FPS due to screen tearing on my 60Hz monitor. Its a big investment but I'm sure it will be well worth it and I will be able to fully enjoy my new PC.
So lets get down to business. (Please read on)
NOTE: I don't care for 3D but the monitor has to be no smaller than 23"
Top budget is $350 and these are my best options.
Option #1
Samsung S23A700D 23" Refurb for $270 + 2 Year warranty (Its a must for me) $67.98.
The Total comes around $337 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...FZGPPAodpk0AQg
Option #2
Benq XL2420T "New" from best buy for $350

Now, warranty is a very important factor for me, that is the reason I would get the 2 year Square Trade warranty if I got the Refurb Samsung.
The BenQ would be NEW and only $15 more than the Samsung....but here is the catch. According to the Best Buy page from the Link above, the BenQ only has 1 year warranty, which is pretty crappy to be completely honest.
So I was wondering if you guys can confirm this? Because if BenQ only offers 1 year warranty on their $350 monitors then I'll just buy the Refurb Samsung and buy a 3rd party warranty such as Trade Square.
Are there any better options for me in the market within my budget?
