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"

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!
