Well, it's a good bang for buck monitor. MVA panel is generally supposed to be better than TN, except the tech apparently was "lagging" behind in the past years. I read the review in tft central (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/content/benq_gw2450hm.htm#input_lag) and according to the numbers this mva screen does a great job. I had to use the premium option under the AMA option to reduce the ghosting and lagging, but it as still slightly noticeable. My LG 19 inch lcd from 2007 for whatever reason had 0 input lag whatsoever. I wish it was larger then i wouldn't even bother buying a new one. Well after about 6 weeks, the AMA overdrive option "died" no longer works and I have massive input lag again. Currently RMA'ed it and waiting to see what happens. Honestly, invest in a higher quality TN panel, unless you really what those dark blacks and deep colors. MVA panels are still way behind in technology when it comes to gaming. If you want this monitor for movies, and causal home use, go for it. I personally would not buy if gaming.

Bought this monitor to go with a build I put together for a family member. They really enjoy it. It's no IPS panel, but the colours look pretty good to be honest. The price was right when I bought it. The speakers are weak but ok for watching youtube videos.

I waited for Black Friday to buy this, I saw it at 149.99 at one point and I should have picked it up then, Black Friday was 159.99. In any case, great price for what you get, an MVA panel 24" monitory at 1080p for 160 bucks? Can't complain though I do have beef with the 11 dollar environmental recycling fee...Hope the province ends that racket. Be sure to test your monitor after you get it.

However the wall mount is a great bonus. Nice clean colours, but the auto adjust is terrible and I find my self having to press the power button multiple times to turn the monitor off.

I'm thrilled with the display. Good monitor. No ghosting. Good colours. Good price. Only downside is the auto adjusting brightness which almost makes this a terrible monitor. Very strange, but for desktop use no problems. 99.9% of the time gaming you won't notice.

I've be looking for the right monitor for some time now and thought this monitor might be the one, but I ended up sending it back. The biggest problem I had was the overdrive that resulted in some bad ghosting. BenQ's support deemed it faulty and NCIX took it back and gave me refund. Got to say I was very happy with NCIX's customer support.
