Question Help Me Pick Please!!!!

Hey guys

i would really like some help from some of the people who own them or have a link to reviews or any ideas at all would be great!!!

Ok so heres the thing as a treat for myself i'm thinking about buying a 24" monitor and well theres to many to chose from.

So here are my choices so far..

1) BenQ E2400HD 24in Widescreen LCD Monitor $417.00
2) BenQ G2400WD 24in Widescreen LCD Monitor $395.00
3) 24” 2ms HDMI WS Acer P244WB $389

My main uses will be PS3, photoshop, some gaming but i doubt my card will run that well on it and of course movies

So any help or links to reviews etc would be great.

+rep if u help

E2400HD, thats what im going to get, it will look amazing on the PS3 because it wont need to stretch the image like most 16:10 monitors and it wont have any bars.

Well then i would just go with the cheapest then since nothing else matters to me,
but the response times and tv size they are all the same size so i say go with choice 3.
Hey you could buy a bag of chips with the 6 dollars saved No seriously you can...

First, I would recommend buying from NewEgg...much better prices. Here is the link for Benq monitors and for the Acer monitor. That should net you about $50-75 in savings
My personal choice is this Acer G24...50000:1 contrast ratio and 2 ms response time. The only thing is it's orange LOL
Otherwise go with the Acer you had in mind.

My vote goes for the Acer,just because IMO they build better quality monitors,and it's in the middle as far as price.
