benq XL2411T or Acer GD245HQ

Strangely I also have these two monitors in my sight....

Overclockers forum members will need to know what monitor you have now, what resolution you play at normally. What games you play etc..What graphics card you have....
 
Right now I have:

  • Hyundai 24 inch monitor (piece of ****)
  • Use it in 1920 - 1080p
  • GPU - Club3d 7870xt
  • Processor - Fx-4100 @4.5ghz
  • I play Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield 3, Hitman Absolution and Crysis 3
 
3D gaming, 2D performance, or mix of both?

The BenQ has a higher contrast ratio..not sure if you can tell the ditfference though...
 
If you go for the BenQ do this (Taken off web)

***The BENQ XL2411T Crimson Fix
There has been several reports of a crimson color when using LightBoost with a BENQ XL2411T (the new 1ms monitor). This is the solution.

***Via Monitor Menus
Monitor’s Contrast Setting = 65 …. (If using nVidia Gamma 1.10)

***Via nVidia Control Panel – “Adjust Desktop Color Settings”
Adjust them individually, R, G, B.

R Contrast = 30%
G Contrast = 45%
B Contrast = 30%

R Brightness = 10%
G Brightness = 40%
B Brightness = 10%

R,G,B Gamma = 1.10

Make sure to readjust Monitor OSD contrast everytime you change Gamma. nVidia Gamma 1.10 worked best with a monitor OSD Contrast of 65. With these settings, I can see the difference between RGB(0,0,0) and RGB(1,1,1), without a wrongly tinted color in backgrounds or in dim colors.

***Still Too Bright?
LightBoost keeps things bright for 3D, but may make things dimmer for 2D (when not wearing 3D glasses). However, if it is still too bright, then try lower the "LightBoost" setting instead of "Brightness" or "Contrast". It dims the picture. Lowering the "LightBoost" setting (but don't go all the way to "OFF") actually improves motion clarity because of shorter strobe flashes. LightBoost MAX corresponds to 2ms strobes, and LightBoost MIN (not OFF) corresponds to 1.4ms strobes.
 
The Acer has poorly configured pixel overdrive, in essence giving a high degree of 'inverse ghosting' (dark and bright trails and artifacts during motion). It also has 'perceptible' levels of input lag, approaching 16ms according to some measurements. These are both things which some users won't be bothered by, but others will.

The performance in these areas is much improved on the newer XL2411T - inverse ghosting is much weaker than on the Acer using the 'optimal' overdrive setting and overall trailing is lower. Input lag is imperceptibly low. It also provides a 144Hz refresh rate which is a nice little bonus as well as a screen that is 0.4" larger. And the stand is fully adjustable, whereas the Acer only tilts.

When it comes to image quality they are both far from perfect but can be improved somewhat through the OSD. It's been a while since I've used the Acer so I can't remember all the tiny details. I don't remember being massively impressed with it compared to some of the newer 120Hz+ models. Personally I think the BenQ is worth the extra.

Didn't realise that this monitor has crept up in price. Seems I gotta steal when I bought mine when they were on offer for £200. Would never go back to 60hz... playing 360 at 60hz is enough to make baby jesus cry. You really do notice how much superior 120hz is over 60 for first person shooters.
 
Guys

I currently game on my dell monitor for Xbox 360 and pc bf3

Is this monitor ideal for both, would it handle things like FIFA well?
