Hmm, weird that they'd release a model like that after releasing the 2420T. Maybe just an improved flaw free version of the 2410T? Probably cheaper aswell as the 2420T is a pretty penny.

I much prefer the stand design on the 2420T, very similair to my old benq fp241w. If im in the market for a replacement id be considering the 2420T.

Also they don't say if this will support 3D on the HDMI input socket :/

I need a new monitor but I also need 3D support on PlayStation, why can't these companies understand this, I don't want multiple TVs and monitors I just want one that can do all to save space, and what happen to the 2420TX? why didn't they release that here

So this is out yet it's substantially cheaper than the previous model. Isn't this supposed to be a successor?

yeah,prefer the stand design on the 2420T, very similair to my old benq fp241w. If im in the market for a replacement id be considering the 2420T

Well they quietly released the 2420TX

OptimaLnrg · 23 Nov 2012 at 11:40

2420tx was out alongside the 2420t, but originally was not planned for euro release

Just on looks I prefer my 2420t

I'm currently reviewing this model. No questions will be answered here though until I've had a good test of it. Last time I ended up posting some impressions but changed my mind as I used it a bit more. Sorry for being human

I'm just waiting for your PixPerAn shots, and if it's simply AMA on and AMA off again. ETA?!

PCM2 · 26 Nov 2012 at 17:12

I really wouldn't like to spoil the surprise (in other words - not really sure

) on the ETA. I think PixPerAn will be one of the last issues I tackle as my main system runs Windows 8 and it doesn't play nicely with PixPerAn or DirectDraw in general. I'll have to arrange for somebody else to test this aspect or get a dual boot with Windows 7 up and running. Annoyingly I have a laptop that would do the trick but it doesn't have the required DVI output, only DP which the monitor lacks!

BenQ seems to have done something with the AMA though as there is a 'Premium' mode and a 'High' mode as well as 'Off'. I wouldn't like to comment further on these at this stage though as I really haven't done enough testing on it.

arent the 2411t n 2420t identical? other than the stands + profile switch thiing on 2420t?

Alright thanks, appreciate the additional effort to get some shots of PixPerAn if you manage it! That Premium, high and off setting sounds interesting also. Thanks for the update.

No. Different ports and electronics with some tweaks to the 11T. Quite possibly different panels as well - the 11T actually gives a bit more than it promises when it comes to refresh rate.

No problem. I am sure I will get PixPerAn sorted somehow. It is a very important part of the review in my opinion and something many people will be interested in, I'm sure.

Is that something to do with the 144hz mode?

PCM2 · 26 Nov 2012 at 18:14

It runs at 144Hz natively, yes.

Speedy Pete · 26 Nov 2012 at 18:17

but why does BenQ call it a 120hz monitor?

straight from their page

The XL2411T is a high-performance gaming monitor suited for FPS game play.

The 120Hz, 24”W, 3D-ready LED monitor gives gamers a competitive edge with features like the Black eQualizer, FPS Mode, Display Mode, Smart Scaling, 1ms GtG, and 12M:1 DCR.

PCM2 · 26 Nov 2012 at 18:31

There are a number of possibilities. One is because people search for and increasingly understand the benefits of 120Hz specifically. The same reason devices using PLS panels are sometimes referred to as using 'IPS'. Also I know monitor specification and feature pages are far from perfect and things often get left out or incorrectly specified. I've already mentioned this to BenQ as it is a good additional selling point.

Can the XL2420T run in 144hz mode??
