Hello everyone.
This is my first high end gaming monitor (Benq xl2420te), and I did my research and I heard this was one of the top gaming high refresh-rate monitor. I knew at the time the colors were going to be bad, but not THIS bad. Otherwise I probably would've spent my 296$ on something more color accurate (ips). Every video I watch has different shades of the SAME color. As in boxes of different shades of the same color. Its been bugging me so bad. When I watched the PC perspective video I felt like ripping my hair off when I saw the boxes of different shades of blue on his wall shift shades extremely fast. Here is some pictures and videos I took with my nexus 4, so the picture is not as bad as it seems, it seems worse through my eyes, around 3 times as bad.

(sorry if the links are bad, first time using dropbox.)
Oh, and would this monitor be a better option?:

(On a side note, I'm coming from a VERY old LG flatron I bought when Circuit City was around. Its 19 or 17 inches, and even the colors, that have not been calibrated for years, are better than this monitor.)
Thanks.
