Hi, I'm looking at buying a secondary monitor for gaming and work. I have been researching into them and I like the specs of the BenQ GL2460HM. However I'm not sure if these specs that I have found make a lot of difference, so I have also found a rather cheap monitor.

The two I am looking at are known as the "BenQ GL2460HM" and the "Asus VE228TR"

The link to the: Asus VE228TR LED 21.5" IS here:

And the link to the: BenQ GL2460HM LED LCD 24"
http://www.ebuyer.com/495563-gl2460hm-24-led-thin-bezel...

The specs for both monitors that I found are:

Asus VE228TR LED
Cost: £83
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Screen Size: 21.5"
LED or LCD: LED
Response Time: 5ms
Contrast Ratio: 80 000 000:1 (dynamic)
Brightness: 250 cd/m2


BenQ GL2460HM
Cost: £124
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Screen Size: 24"
LED or LCD: LED
Response Time: 2ms GTG
Contrast Ratio: 1000:1 / 12 000 000:1 (dynamic)
Brightness: 250 cd/m2


So the BenQ GL2460HM has higher response time and a slightly larger screen, it also seems to have a worse contrast ratio... So do you think these specs, justify spending an extra £40 on the BenQ? As I would rather not spend a lot of money, but if its good for gaming then I'd be ok to spend the extra.

Thanks, for any advice!

asus got better pixel density, and that you will notice. i got a 24" 1080p monitor and i see big pixels.

What do you mean by a better pixel density, is the pixel density not the resolution? I thought they were both 1900 x 1080... or is this not what you mean?

thanks!

Pixels per inch (PPI) (or pixels per centimeter (PPCM)) is a measurement of the pixel density (resolution).
same resolution but smaller screen means smaller pixels.

both panels are tn. i would go for 24'' and with the benq. 1080p 2ms will be just fine. and has excellent input lag for gaming. overall it is a nice monitor. it defenately worths the exra money. also i wouldnt worry about any pixelating (blocky) image at 24'' , it is seen present on some 27'' monitors at 1080p
