I suppose it depends on your lighting conditions. The colours on the VG236HE are pretty decent out of the box but it does have some issues with overpowering greens (most notably it struggles with darker greens). I can't remember the exact adjustments required off hand (and it would vary with each individual unit) but I seem to recall this problem was massively reduced by some simple setting adjustments. There are also plenty of presets to mess around with and it can provide a potentially very 'punchy' image without appearing oversaturated. It is not quite on the same level as the Samsung T27A950 I tested (which took a fair bit of setting up it has to be said) but it was still quite impressive. A large part of this vibrancy is down to the ASUS 'ColorShine' screen coating which is used in place of the usual matte anti-glare surface (such as on the XL2410T). This allows more direct emission of light from the monitor which means the image isn't 'dulled' but on the flipside you have to be careful about the lighting conditions. To get an idea of how reflective the monitor is - it can be compared to the Dell TrueLife coating featured the Samsung T27A950 review on our website. The XL2410T has lower potential vibrancy but given what my esteemed colleague has told me the new edition should provide pretty decent performance. Obviously in 'high light' environments the screen surface will work better. It's difficult to say without having tested a new XL2410T myself though.
When it comes to responsiveness it's quite tricky as they are both excellent. I'd say the BenQ has stronger overdrive and as such you get marginally reduced 'conventional trailing' but instead get a small amount of 'overdrive trailing'. In practical terms if you're driving a frame rate of well above 60fps you'd be hard pushed to notice any real issues with either of these monitors. Input lag is generally very good and even general '60fps performance' is quite favourable to most other monitors.
