Hello I've been looking for a good gaming monitor preferably with quite low response time (~2ms) and I'm trying to decide between an Asus VN247H-P and a BENQ RL2455HM as they seem to be the best there is for the price, I don't care about the price as long as its around 200$ if there is some other better monitor, but these two seem to best fit my needs, and was wondering which one to get. link for the BenQ http://gaming.benq.com/gaming-monitor/rl2455hm/specification/#skip and link for the Asus http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236307.

I don't need shipping as I can buy both of these locally, and pick up at the store.

Both are TN panels , never pick a TN panel for LCD every , the colors suck.

I would recommend this

or if you want better ms

this

I prefer DELL for the Quality ... but for gaming less ms is better.

Thanks for the response, I was wondering, what is the difference between the Dell one and the Asus one apart from response time in MS. You mentioned the Dell one had better quality but how so. Two more things, are those both 60Hz screens, and also apart from the better quality when looking from an angle is there any other benefits of IPS which really make it worthwhile? Thanks again for your help, have a good evening.

The Dell is well Constructed , has pivoting you can turn the screen vertical and horizontal , better colors , and better service ... it is a professional monitor .

it is an IPS screen , IPS screens have almost perfect Vieing angles , and best colors among the LCD Panels ...

the DELL works at 8ms it is acceptable in Gaming , if you are picky you will notice little ghosting at very high speed movement , but again it is accepted not that bad. and for colors it is the best.

the Asus is faster at 5ms lowers the ghosting a bit , but is a crappy plastic build not durable .. they have the better durable version but at 100$ more ..

Dell reduced the price of this Monitor 100 $ ..

it is up to you to pick ..

if you want to know how IPS is better than TN , take a look at this :

Thanks I think I'm gonna go with the Dell one, as well it has the added bonus that I know the local Dell support guy quite well. Thanks for the explanations.

URGENT
EDIT: Sorry to bother you but do you know if HDMI to DVI adapters work for the computer because my computer does not have and DVI or VGA ports, only HDMI, and also does DVI have lower quality or will it not effect it.

it is the same , Just DVI does not have Audio ... HDMI carry both Audio And Video and Network .. no loss of image quality.
