Asus or Benq

[Usher]

decided to go for a 120Mhz monitor & possibly the 3D kit but can't decide between the Asus or Benq, reviews on the net are somewhat uncertain as both have good & bad aspects.
The Benq XL2410T on offer this weekend is tempting but I wonder if the Asus VG23H 23" is a better option. Is the shiny screen really a problem as pointed out on various revues?

I've gone for the Asus, unfortunately seems OcUk don't sell the monitor with Nvidia glasses kit included anymore as available elsewhere so I paid a bit over the odds for separate parts but at least I know that OcUk are reliable if I get a fault, seems to be more good revues for the Asus than the Benq, should arrive Tuesday

Cool. Let us know what you think of the Asus.

got it set up & it's brilliant, first widescreen monitor for me & expected things might look odd but it's fine, everything is sharp & crystal clear compared to my old 19" Samsung Synchmaster.

3D effect is excellent after a truggle to get it working because I didn't spot the on/off button on the glasses & that it needed charging up first

As I wear glasses myself I could see the reflection slightly in the back of the Nvidia ones so don't know if that would bother me given time, played Just Cause2 for a few minutes & the 3D effect was excellent, no ghosting or flickering but it needs time to fiddle with settings to get it just right .
