It is often the case that PixPerAn will highlight certain artifacts or imperfections that in most cases would go unnoticed during real-world testing. The common scenario itself of the red car with yellow driver moving across a blue background is itself fairly constrained and artificial in terms of the pixel transitions occuring and the speed at which they are occuring. Furthermore it represents what is captured by a camera at high shutter speed - in actuality it doesn't say how persistant or long-lived the trailing is. That is why in my own reviews I make explicit note of how the responsiveness of a monitor fairs in practice in a range of game titles. Having said that I do still think that PixPerAn is a useful comparative tool and it is a good way of indicating the existance (or absence) of a particular issue. It also gives some indication of the strength of that issue - for example you can see how bold and extensive trailing behaviour is. Because subjective assessment relies on personal perception, which is an individual thing, there is certainly room for both of these things.

As a QuakeLive.com player, i move around a fairly bland map with simple items (single colour) and I have to say, the pixperan tests from the original model were pretty accurate with how they look in game. You're obviously right that in most cases they can go unnoticed (particularly in slower games or those that require minimal mouse movement), but in my experience it's important to remember that in some games it can still be quite apparent, so at least from my perspective I'm just waiting for your pixperan images.. I can't believe prad.de didn't take any.

That was just a general opinion on PixPeran, not specific to the XL2410T. This was one of the times when the PixPerAn test revealed very bold and extensive trailing and this was also evident in practice. Not a problem for everyone of course, but undeniably there!

Yup, just like I said. AMA eliminates the trailing frame from 120hz and makes the image appear smoother and sharper in movement and more CRT like with pretty much some tiny amount of invisible ghosting, which is only noticable when moving text fast across the screen. Works really well, tech has come a long way. Just have to wait till we see 120hz IPS panels now 
All LCD monitors have a technique like this, this is one of the best I have come across on the monitor

There should be a micro usb socket next to the HDMI, then obviously connect the usb output on the monitor to the PC

The kind way of telling me I'm blind! Haha. I find it hard to see any of the ports ! my desk is so cramped so getting my head in a position to see what I'm doing is a nightmare !
24" is bigger than I thought, I need a new desk.
Thanks Pancake !
Edit: Oh wow, this S Switch is brilliant. Thank god I don't have to fiddle with the buttons on the monitor now. Soooo much easier.

Hehe, it is quite hard to see and even when I looked to see where it was after you asking couldnt see at at first
Yeh S switch thing is a very innovative idea that works extremely well and is also needed, I love it.
I tried Batman Arkham City on this in 3D worked pretty damn good was a nice effect just a shame the fps of the game isn't good at all still. 
However BF3 on the otherhand performed well, looked brilliant in 3D and makes me want to order 2nd GTX580 lol.
I haven't checked other games yet but will try Deus EX HR tomorrow as someone wanted to know how good it was or if anyone wants me to test more games just say as i have an awful lot....like 400+.

Nice I may try the 3D aspect in the future but not too interested right now.
Regarding Batman have you got the direct X 11 off? Because that game is still unfinished but works really well when you dont run it in direct X 11, and doesnt make a huge difference either.

Anyone able to download and install the custom profiles from the benQ website for this monitor? Mines having none of it with them saying that the panel isn't supported and I need to buy a 2420T/TX.... (I HAVE the 2420T lol)
Mine installed them fine, didnt get any warnings etc. I didnt even install the driver 'til after too. Still installs fine with driver in as well

What graphics card you got?
I am getting the same thing, i have the 2410T monitor as well. I unplugged it and just have the 2420T in and im still getting the same error.
GTX 470
