BenQ 24" On Overclockers :D

HI there

The stock is arriving Monday and yes the FP241W is a superb panel and very good value for money.

The newer G2400W really does bring a whole new meaning too value for money as well as its a great looking panel, good performance and features HDMI input too. :)

You can say that again (about the BenQ G2400W). From what I've read online it also features 1:1 pixel mapping, overscan on/off and original aspect scaling and if that wasn't enough, it undercuts the equivalent Dell 24 incher (the E248WFP - which lacks HDMI) by a tenner.

There's a group test which compares the two in this somewhat subjective review and the Benq is the clear winner:

For a more objective comparison I suggest you look at this site (Note: Unfortunately they haven't reviewed the Dell E248WFP so I've used the considerably more expensive Benq FP241W as a basis for comparison):

http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=48&mo1=304&p1=2943&ma2=48&mo2=142&p2=1564&ph=12


I don't know about you but the level of ghosting in the game rendering test screenshot concerns me slightly (which is odd because all the user reviews I've read have implied there is very little to none):

Finally, here's a comparison between the Benq G2400W and the the now famous 'zero input lag' Iiyama E2201W:

http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=48&mo1=304&p1=2943&ma2=50&mo2=269&p2=2511&ph=12


All in all, it looks like a decent budget 24 inch gaming monitor (although the ghosting issue warrants some further investigation). Sadly my skills and knowledge in this area are lacking.

Badass, what do you say? Does this meet with your approval? :confused:

Thanks for the links pfk, I'd been looking at that one and had only found the drainweb thingy. It looks really good for the money!

No problem. I'm really keen on this too (as I'm sure many others are) but I'm holding off on buying it until there are a few more reviews.

Hi there

Ammended our pricing down, we should be £5-£10 cheaper now than what your finding. :)

These will arrive around Tuesday/Wednesday next week, I shall update the ETA and price on the website in the next 15 mins or so. :)

P.S. The others have also arrived, the supplier kindly shipped on a Saturday delivery for us. :)

Hi Gibbo,
Ive been doing some serious research into which 24" to go for and have settled on digging deep into the reserves and going for the FP241VW, I spoke with customer services at OCUK earlier today to ask what the current delivery time is for stock and was told it would be 3 weeks - I've since found your post (above) and im now a little confused!!! Did the stock that was coming in less than a week ago already sell out? or didnt this stock include the VW version?
I'd really appreciate some info as I've got a LAN on the last weekend of March and I really want the VW before that!!!
Cheers,
Mark.
 
Oh well, I didnt get any update on delivery times so Im still guessing that they are coming in in around 3 weeks, I've gone for it anyway and ordered the FP241VW, just hope it may turn up in time for the lan! :D (fingers crossed!)
 
I've bitten the bullet and ordered the FP241W - more than I had planned to spend, but it's supposed to be a very good monitor and should give me far more future proofing than a 20"would (1920*1200 verses 1680*1050).

Should be delivered Thursday :)
 
So, if i was after a 24" screen for a bit of gaming and a bit fo photoshopping... this is the one to get? or is the DELL still better?

Just finished playing on my G2400W. Well... I cried at how awesome it was. Zero dead/stuck pixels and good contrast. Well worth every penny.
 
Could anyone from OCUK give me a date on when my FP241VW will arrive? I rang before I placed the order and was told 3 weeks, but today was told that there was no date at all associated with the stock - so i seem to have gone a step backwards!!
I'd appreciate just some idea if possible :) cheers!

Hi there

We have stock arriving Monday and more stock end of the week. :)
 
.... I guess my order will be coming out of the stock that arrived today?? :D

I have a friend who is (thanks to my order) looking at the same monitor, is there any chance he would get supply from the same stock or would he have to wait until the next delivery comes in?

Cheers.
