BenQ XL2420G 24" G-Sync 144Hz 1ms Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black @ £374.99 inc VAT

MO-112-BQ_400.jpg


Built for competitive FPS game play, the XL2420G takes the explosive thrills of fast-paced gaming to a 24' screen. The stunning monitor is equipped with the latest Motion Blur Reduction. NVIDIA's latest G-SYNC revolution requires monitor manufacturers to replace their scalar with a G-SYNC, trading in the freedom to scale settings like input frame, colour hue, intensity and contrast for pure speed and smoothness of the game.

With the best efforts of our R&D champions, we've found a way to keep your options open with the world's first hybrid engine design. So you are in control of matching your choice of gameplay. For those in favor of perfect motion gaming that can be tailored to match their gameplay preferences, the Classic Mode offers a wide array of customizable settings, from Motion Blur Reduction to Gaming Refresh Rate Optimization Management (GROM), Black eQualizer, Display Pilot, Smart Scaling, S Switch, and Game Mode Loader. The mode also features BenQ's exclusive Gaming-comfort Flicker-free Technology and Low Blue Light modes to help protect your eyes from computer-related discomfort. In essence, it's a total package solution for agile performance, precise control, intuitive user experience and eye comfort.

What's more, with this mode, you can be sure to get the best gaming experience for games unsupported by the G-SYNC Mode. By synchronizing the XL2420G's display refresh rates to the GPU in a GeForce GTX-powered PC, the G-SYNC Mode enables images to appear instantly the moment they are rendered. The low latency effectively eliminates screen tearing, and minimizes display stutter and input lag - frame rate artifacts commonly seen in high-motion gaming. Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) is also at your disposal to smooth the way for a near-zero motion blur performance. Ultimately, with NVIDIA's G-SYNC technology, an unprecedented buttery smooth, ultra-responsive gameplay to victory is all you'll get.

BenQ's new Motion Blur Reduction technology further enhances an ultra-smooth, free-of-blur gaming experience, particularly for action-packed FPS games where every millisecond count. With Motion Blur Reduction, gamers no longer suffer from time and gaming comfort lost to poor vision quality created by motion blur and lagging. Instead, they have everything to gain with more reaction time advantage on their side to achieve ultimately a flawless victory.

So there you have it, we have the best price on a 980Ti at sub £500 for a really flagship custom cooled card with 5yr extended warranty. Then we delivery you one of the best G-Sync monitors at a price below anywhere else pretty much in Europe and for those who want 1440P on the large screen we have the 32" BenQ at a price that destroys our UK competitors.

These are bloody silly prices and they will end 9am Monday! Get your wallets out!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
Or the Fury X ends up being not too good and no one buys it then all you who didnt buy the £500 980TI will kick yourselves.
It could go either way.

Dont forget Gibbo already has a Fury and must know by now how they are going to sell and thus plan the sales strategy for both AMD and Nvidia for the coming months......

I have being playing today, but I either have a driver issue or the rig I was using had NVIDIA sabotage going on as the performance was not as per expectation, should have being quicker.

Now got the Fury home with me and shall play with it over weekend comparing to my 290X and 980Ti G1. But from the press pack I have the Fury X is a 980Ti competitor, not a beater and not a loser.

Also NVIDIA are not going to move 980Ti price, simply no way as they know MSRP on Fury X is around £549 inc. VAT, same price as their 980Ti which they will argue has more features and more VRAM.

Also NVIDIA will not move price when AMD has such limited stocks and all resellers are price gouging and sell way over £600 due to such limited stocks.

This sub £500 980Ti is a truly genuine deal, a very silly one at that and yes OcUK does lose nearly £3 a card, this is purely a marketing stunt. Take one of the best 980Ti on the market with best warranty and then move sub £500 and make a load of noise!! Marketing!!!! :)
 
Right, gotcha

Well, everything points to them trading blows and the FuryX being £600 on launch, so at £500 these are a steal, and if gibbo is wrong you can have him under the unfair trading regulations and he has to collect the cards at his cost


You can't have me for single thing mate and yes it is a great deal. :)

I would laugh at you and the guy in court, because nowhere did I state they perform equal. What I said is the press pack shows them trading blows, being equal, those results have also being posted in this very forum which also show them trading blows with like 1-3fps apart and those results are from the press pack.

My own statement is I am having trouble with my testing and as such cannot really comment yet. :)

So as I've not actually said anything factual and are referring to results already online, I cannot be held accountable for anything. :)

True fact is Fury will be hugely short so prices will be very high, unless within the next few days AMD product a whole load more and also decide to change their MSRP on the product. Again this is not me saying this, all information already published by AMD.

So as to what I can be had for, well nothing. :)

Can you make it an even better deal and explain why I'm being charged £10.80 for a 2 day service on an 'DPD Two Day Parcel - Eire & Scottish Islands (Mon-Fri) £10.80' set up when I qualify for free DPD next day?

Sorry buddy but absolutely zero idea, no idea on how the forum free shipping works or how it is calculated.
 
You're making statements in a marketing capacity for the company you work for. If they aren't true it doesn't matter where they came from or if you say they are just "your opinion". Your making them, if they aren't true they could be construed as misleading someone to make a purchase they otherwise wouldn't have.

It would never get to court because I already know my credit card company would refund me straight away having used this new as of October 2014 update twice already, once for £2850.

Anyway, I have no intention of returning my two, just saying to anyone on the fence between a £500 980ti and a £600 (you say) furyx to go ahead and order the 980ti because they can probably return the 980ti as the furyx details should be out before they even take delivery

I was actually trying to help you talk someone in to taking up your sales offer

AMD already announced Fury X details, there are also benchmarks already out there. :)

I am confident Fury X will be around £500 area sometime in July/August, but launch pricing will be higher and prices will remain high whilst supply is less than demand, just like any other product. :)
 
wow this thread got crazy fast
hope ur joking about the court stuff andy thats nuts
personally i love some of the stuff gibbo says^^;

Yeah we could just become like other resellers, never show any previews, never review products or do the crazy overclocking stuff that myself and 8 Pack does.

We could just be good, we just aim to be fantastic and set ourself apart from the rest.

OcUK has a solid reputation for giving solid and honest advice/guidance.

What Andy forgets is I am selling and promoting both NVIDIA and AMD.

In fact I'd rather sell more Fury at launch because we will make absolutely great profits on those due to lack of supply, whereas this 980Ti loses us money, doing it for marketing reasons. :)

OcUK is no.1 in Northern Europe/UK for Titan X sales, why? Because OcUK was the first to go sub £800 on a Titan X, that promotion was insane, we sold nearly 200pc on a Titan X in a weekend.

I am now repeating that kind of promotion by being first to market with a 980Ti at sub £500 and I'd be doing this deal still even if no Fury was due next week because I need to ensure OcUK makes this move first and gets all the noise for it.

Your always remembered for being first, never second! :)
 
Great price on the 980Ti Gibbo, relatively speaking, damn you Nvidia you made me vow never to buy you again and then this happens, I am tempted.......but no I will wait for the 8GB Fury X. That 980Ti is huge and the Fury is so small in comparison. No contest and its 2GB more and HBM........I feel better already phewwww. :D

Fury X is 4GB. :)
 
I agree, every review of G1 says it's loud. People compare 970, 980 windforce etc but it's a different GPU. 3 small fans have to be loud with higher heat. G1 and Zotac (based on Hexus review) both have really good cooling with ability to adjust profile to be quieter. Difference in overclocking might be better for G1 but definitely not worth 130£ imo

I've got the 980Ti G1 and loud it is not. It's not as quiet as an AIO solution but it's also not loud, I'd class a 290X reference cooler as loud on a hot summers day.

I'm rocking a 980Ti G1 now, the fans are not spinning and when gaming I struggle to hear it if I have no sound on and under load it typically sits at 68-72c.

The only time it is loud is at 100% fan speed which it never even gets close! but it is nice having such powerful fan ability for benchmarking as with 100% fan temps do not exceed 57c. :)
 
Guys

Some bad news, Zotac missed the plane scheduled to depart on Sunday, they have just left on a flight today instead on express shipment to get them here as quick as possible. They will arrive this Thursday now, sorry for the delay
 
Today we have following due.

Zotac AMP
MSI Gaming
EVGA ACX 2.0
Gigabyte G1

Let's hope the UPS strikes cause no further delays as that is who our shipments are with.
