Model number: Samsung S24D590PL
Is this monitor much better then my current one?

Hi thanks for the answers, I went to a local shop and they have that monitor.to be honest it didn't look any better that the one I currently own and it seems a bit flimsy compare to my Samsung. The guy working said the same thing that is a great for gaming but mostly because of the impressive 1ms response time.also I forgot to mention that I need speakers built in the monitor so I can plug my ps4. I was happy that the BenQ-RL2455HM had speaker and 2 hdmi cable but is not much of a improvement over my current one. Are psl monitor any good? Any other suggestions? thanks

Hi you are right is a nice monitor but here in Uk I can't find one .I found few second hand one but I prefer to buy new . I have been looking to the Samsung I posted earlier and I quite like it but I haven't checked one in person.also it has no speaker but I guess I can use the headphone port and plug some speaker. Not sure on what to do.any other suggestions? I can up my budget to 200 max .Should I just keep my one?
Thanks

Maybe give sony a call about it? I got mine in the uk just over a year ago from littlewoods but they no longer stock it.

Hi
In the end I bought the Samsung s24d590pl. The monitor looks great in my desk and it takes very little space, the image quality is much better then my previous monitor and the build quality is excellent also the monitor looks really good . Initially I went for the BenQ-RL2455HM , is a great monitor for gaming but the colours are not as good as the samsung s24d590pl and the build didn't feel as solid as my previous Samsung and the Samsung s24d590pl, I didn't feel much of a difference if any is response time on game I play(wow and open world games in general) BUT I'm not an expert and I don't play competently also bare in mind that I owned the benq monitor for 3 days only.The Benq is a very good value gaming monitor as it was 25 pound(UK) cheaper then the Samsung including delivery (for the Samsung I just went to pc world) also you can mount the monitor in a wall if needed something you can't do with the Samsung and remember the Samsung has no speaker(you can connect speaker by using the headphone port at the back) .The Samsung has an option to improve response time(normal,fast,fastest) but again I didn't notice any changes,the game mode in the Samsung is quite good and it make black colours sharper,I mainly use the game mode with the ps4 as in some ways it help mask some jiggle(I suspect the shaper black colour mask some of the jiggle),pc games are better without(personal preference) .If response time is something important to you then the benq is the monitor to get but if you care more about image quality(manly colours ) the go for a ips or pls monitors.

Hope this helps.
Thanks to everyone in this thread.
