120mhz = BenQ XL2410T or Samsung 23a700ds?

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
Well, I wanna get a 120hz monitor to play on a 690 GTX, I would like to get a nice DELL monitor, but I'm from Argentina and it's hard to get one here...so I have this 2 options, BenQ XL2410T or Samsung 23a700ds, which one should I take?
The BenQ is Nvidia 3d ready, but Im going to use the 3d only to see some movies, so I don't think that "nvidia 3d ready" really cares in my case.
Main use: To play games.


Oh, and one more question, in a web page that is like the "ebay" from argentina, I've found a 23a700ds and S23a700ds, are those 2 the same model and the "S" is just a typo? because the S23a700ds is most exp that the another one.

Samsung 23A700D is way better. BenQ XL2410T is no good. BenQ XL2420T is very good though.

I have no idea about the "ds" version...never heard of it.

Keep in mind the BenQ is a matte finish and I believe the Samsungis glossy. There are two BenQ XL2420T (does not come setup for 3D) and the XL2420TX (comes setup for 3D). If you plan to use the 3D I have heard it is better to get the XL2420TX.

I personally do not like glossy screens because of the reflection so I bought the BenQ. I have zero complaints and I'm pretty damn picky.

I agree that the 2410 (the old BenQ 120hz) is not the new one. the 2420 is a great great gaming monitor. The Samsung is also good, but I have no personal experience with it. My friend owns a 2420 and raves about it constantly and it has great settings, is easy to calibrate, lowest input lag of the bunch, and looks great.

I am a big fan of what they do, and they support our gaming community smile.gif That being said, the Samsung (from my understanding) is a plenty good piece of equipment, but like I said, not as much personal experience with it.

Thank you guys, I will get the samsung for 2 reasons
1) I don't care about the glossy type because I play in a dark room...so no reflection.
2) I can't get the 2420 in Argentina smile.gif and you all looks like "2410 not good" XD

biggrin.gif thankssssssss

Just to confirm that the full model number for the S23A700D is S23A700DS/EN. It is all the same model but frequently shortened to the preferred S23A700D.
