Despite the extra frills, the XL2420T isn't a massive jump, performance wise, above the XL2410T. Still, if seriously smooth gaming performance is your only concern, take a look.Read more
BenQ's XL2420TE is frankly the best gaming LCD monitor I've seen. Its colour reproduction, while not on the same level as an IPS panel, is MUCH better than other high speed TN monitors that I've encountered, and there almost no discernable input lag or motion blur. This one's a winner, folks.
