Sorry about that. I saw the $$$ and figured USA. I guess I should have looked at your sig LOL
My vote definitely goes for the Acer...higher contrast ratio (20000:1 versus 10000:1), Acer's stellar reputation and build quality, and the better price. It's just better all around.
BTW Thanks for the rep, I need it :P

3) 24” 2ms HDMI WS Acer P244WB $389

I bought it for my friend and used it for about a week and a half till his components arrived in the mail for his computer. Simply put its an amazing monitor, i think he has used his xbox on it through the HDMI but i could check what it looks like with my PS3 if your up for it?

Wow so everyone says the acer surprising i would have thought the benq it seems i might be changing my mind... So better quality all round sounds good to me.. does anyone have a review or links etc...

Oh @ spaceballsrules your very welcome
@ dcshoejake if you could do that would be the best thing ever as that is going to be one of its primary uses + rep

So from this i am now leaning towards the acer and it is cheaper which is a little bonus..

the acer and the e2400hd are pretty much the same thing... whatever one you choose will be a good choice no matter what


edit- i just noticed the acer dosent have any DVI ports Or built in speakers... and because of that get the Benq

@hellboy_101: I searched for reviews but found nothing but shopping sites, so check out the reviews left on those. The link I left in the first post to NewEgg has a bunch of reviews, and you can find more at Amazon and such. Just google it.

@McLovin: First off, love the name LOL. Second, it does have 2 HDMI, and a DVI to HDMI cable is $5-10. HDMI is equal or better than DVI IMHO. I have a DVI/HDMI cable running from the video card to my HDTV and I could not ask for better quality.

@Pibbz: The Acer is HDCP compliant.

HDMI is practically just DVI with wire for audio. But most built-in speakers are pretty garbage.
