I called a store that had it listed and they stated that it wont be available for anyone in North America until January 18th.

Just thought I would share as anyone looking for a 120hz monitor might want to wait on this one to come out


also as I will be getting one, and if it is good 2 more, if not return/selling it.

For more info: http://gaming.benq.com/gaming-monitor/xl2420t/specification/#skip

Love the new design - depending on the reviews I may well replace my XL2410T's with some of these.

The samsung monitors stand, although some may consider it aesthetic is really lacking in the functionality department. Also the amount of inputs is rather limited after the 950D.

forget the 950D stand...750D is what people should be buying imo. The stand is great..tho yes, it does need to be able to tint/swivel more...that being said...the viewing angles on the Samsung montiors...is amazing for a TN monitor, best in class.

now you are just making stuff up, a person on this forum who had 3x 750Ds in portrait surround said he had issues with the viewing angles (not saying benq's will be any better)


also the 750D only has display port and hdmi.

as long as your gfx card has a display port, who cares that it doesn't have dvi? dvi will be legacy soon enough.

and no i am NOT making stuff up - don't accuse, if you don't what your talking about. I HAVE a 750D..and its viewing angles for a TN panel are amazing. Better than the BenQ, as far as PRIMARY monitor goes.

Now OF COURSE, anyone that surrounds themselves with 3 TN monitors together will say they have viewing angle issues..because of the huge about of screen space...any TN panel will have some issues with that. They should of went with IPS for surround...but as far as TN monitors goes 750D is top tier. way better than most of the BenQ garbage (due to QA) in the market right now.

if you just google the samsung monitor and viewing angles..you'll see what people have been saying about it.

As far as overall TN gaming monitors go...Samsung 750D is best in class overall (when taking all aspects/features into account). PERIOD.
