AMD freesync coming soon, no extra costs.... shocker

The black EQ setting on the BenQ's makes up for the dodgy colours for FPS games, especially BF4. It looks reaaaaally washed out though when using it so you need to constantly switch between the gaming and standard modes (standard has far better colour) for gamning-desktop use.

My asus monitor has very nice colour straight out of the box, which I was surprised at. Its a very good TN panel though (144hz 1ms etc).

Yeah it's here where must people make the mistake and leave the monitor on fps mode. Change to standard gives you more control to tweak the image much better.

Don't let the above put you off ;) couple settings changed and you have very good looking image.

Is they anyway I can show you my image? I feel a camera won't do it any justice.

Thanks Shanks but i don't think you can tell the quality of it by looking at an image through another screen. :)

1440P, Must be IPS, and Free-Sync when it gets here, brand is irrelevant, just needs to put out a quality picture and have little or no input lag. (i hate calling it Free-Sync, can we start calling it A-Sync or something?)

If you do some review reading you can see BenQ h120/144HZ gaming range have bad colours period.

Asus have good colours out the box on many of their panels bar one 27" model that got bad reviews for a few reasons.

Yes a gaming TN monitor is about speed but it does not need to have poor colours and that FPS mode BenQ use just lightens games so you can basically see in the dark which is pointless (turn up brightness /contrast on any screen and black will be grey).

I would not buy a current BenQ, waiting on 2nd batch of ROG Swifts but any LCD is a downgrade from my now dying FW900 in sig.

Its hard to do from home, read a ton of reviews and real peeps input in stores comment section (they do not get paid) and try see the models you have gotten it down to in a store then buy online.

Not necessarily :) thats contrast, the range between black and white.

A good screen will produce the blackest black while producing the whitest white at the same time, a lesser screen will be more dark gray to light gray.

With those screens the only way to get the dark gray black is to reduce the light, make the screen darker, while a good screen will display pure black with high brightness. the same effect happens across the full colour range.

A contrast ratio of 1.000.000 has 1.000.000 shades between colour reproduction, 10.000.000 has 10.000.000 shades.

The better the screens contrast the less washed out the colours are. they have more colour depth, more range. :)

My point being, you shouldn't start making subjective comments when they're factually inaccurate. People may spend money based on your incorrect comments, and that's just morally wrong.

Am giving me own personal experience and I stand by there very good to me.
Am not going to lie about how I feel the image looks to me am I? How can I when I have clearly said I have never used a display with colours in mind.

And if someone was looking to buy a 120 or 144hz it wouldn't be because of the Colours we already know this.
