Question Help Me Decide.

Hey Guys

So i have a little bit of a dilemma here.

I have two good monitors to decide from as a xmas present to myself lol.

So the two i am looking at is as follows.

24” 2ms HDMI WS Acer P244WB ($340 after $49 Cashback)
$389

Or

21.5 “ 2ms HD WS Benq E2200HD Full HD
$239

My main uses will be my computer gaming and i will keep my 19" i have atm for gaming on or just doing tasks on. I will also most likely hook a PS3 up to it.

Any help would be great!!

Thanks a heap

Judging by past experiences with people, I hear BenQ has a lot of problems, dead pixels, etc...Numerous people at my job complaining about the quality of BenQ products, so I would say to stick with Acer as it seems to be the safer bet...

Default Acer or BenQ

i think acer is better. benQ is likely used for the built in system. or if you had some more stick with LG or ASUS. but dunno if they got 24' hehe.

Well according to the Acer site it's only 1920 x 1080 @ 75Hz so its no 16:10 then but is there a big difference between the 2 anyway
