Go check BenQ us website; there is a promotion on that you buy it now it's only $409 and you are buying directly from BenQ.us
hey the introduction promo price is only $409. I think it's excellent deal. TN is not that bad for gaming after all you got 2ms response time plus HDMI.

Do you guys honestly buy monitors for the usb ports? Thats the last thing on my list. Overall, I think its a pretty good value. Even the cheapest of 24" TN panels will run you around 400 bucks.
C'mon, I know you know the answer to this question. Of course we don't buy monitors soley for the USB ports, but nowadays, that's just standard equipment on monitors. From a cost perspective, how much more would it cost BenQt to add a couple of USB ports??!?!?! You want to charge $400+ dollars and not include USB ports but will include a speaker jack? C'mon BenQ, you should know better!
Do people buy cars just for Air conditioning...maybe..... but today, it's pretty much expected that most cars have A/C as part of the standard package.
Why is this topic sticky btw?
It looks like a downgrade from my BenQ FP241W. I've had my BenQ 24" for over a year now, probably about 18 months. It was pristine when I got it, no dead pixels, no backlight bleeding. Perfectly build. Best LCD I've ever used. The only improvement it could have is that while it's very good, it could still be a bit better in dark games/night time games where there are lots of blacks and gradients of black. Typically I would definitely recommend BenQ again, and have recommended the FP241 many times
But this new one....
Less brightness
Less viewing angle
Less ergonomic adjustment
Less inputs
No USB hub
Says it's glossy, sorry, I don't feel the need to see the reflection of my face and everything behind me while using my computer, I'd put a mirror there if that were the case.
It does list a faster pixel response, but I have no ghosting now, I don't see the value in improving that parameter while sacrificing all these others.
This new display, launching a year and a half later... makes me wonder whyyyy? It should be better!

I have no problem with the looks of it, even the "offset" stand.
I don't particularly like the non-removable stand, but I guess there are a number of compromises with making a super-slim panel, such as the lack of USB ports.
If the panel is nearly of the same quality of the G2400W it should be a good gaming screen, especially with the inclusion of overdrive. The G2400W generally has low backlight bleed, and for a TN, decent viewing angles.
As far as I know the bezel is piano black glossy and the panel is matte, so it's not a total glare fest like the HP W2408H.
I read the Trusted Review, but I am generally not a huge fan of their monitor reviews. Too much flash and not enough in-depth coverage of the monitor's capabilities. A good "preview" but not much more.
My questions would centre around:
1) Toggle for overdrive and any overdrive artifacts such as inverse ghosting, or large rise in input lag?
2) Dynamic contrast settings (whether they cannot be turned on or off, or if there are different levels)
3) Out-of-the box color calibration and gamma settings
4) Quality of pre-sets
5) Head-to-head with it's older brother > BenQ G2400W
6) Brightness modulation > Can it go as dark as 140cdm/2?
7) Contrast - Does it look washed out or are the colors properly saturated?
Hopefully somebody will get their hands on this one and check it out right!

Hey 10e, I've been trolling the forums on the BenQ G2400W and read many of your posts which were all quite informative and now I'm very near about to pull the trigger on the G2400WD. I recommended that you be one of the reviewers on the other thread for the V2400. In your opinion, do you think the G2400W is the best 24 inch TN out right now?
I'm a little confused. You just got done saying that the V2400W is not worth $400. But you are willing to spend the same amount on the G2400WD which is the exact same monitor with a different bezel? Same panel, same features, same everything except the casing.
qft. i got 2 mva 24 inch 1920x1200 displays for $481. which is still less than the mrsp for just one of these benq'sAnother TN panel?
Ugh. Pass......
