I am ready to jump away from 60hz and step up into 120hz but im not sure which to choose. I need selections. If possible $500 and under. I was thinking about this for
BenQ XL2420T: $391.00

Other choices I considered were Asus monitor vg278h (120hz) or newer model vg278he (144hz) however was slightly more expensive for my taste

If you go to amazon that Samsung is only 290.00 from Electronics EXPO. With shipping it comes out to be $320.29
I was doing reviews on other forums and most of the forums recommended the Samsung over the BenqQ. alot of people said the Response time with the BenQ is slow.
