What are the price differences?
What are the price differences?
The Benq has 2ms GTG while the Samsung has 5ms response time. For games that'll mean the Benq is better eh?
Prices are close but the Samsung is higher

My bad. Copied and pasted the wrong one. That's for LCD TV. But the Benq is still a good one and its price is usually cheaper.

People, it is unhelpful to simply say "get this one!" and not explain why. It makes you look like a fanboy, too.

For starters, read my FAQ on LCD terminology - you will find that anything below 15ms is useless if you know how to manage your framerates, so don't base anything upon response time when both values are that low.
I have the BenQ you linked to, and I am happy with it (though I have 1 stuck pixel). Just be aware that many people have had issues with the touch sensitive buttons not working - I had to RMA once because that was the case with mine. Also, the asymmetric support structure leads to shaking while you type if your desk isn't sturdy (my computer desk is a piece of crap).
You'd be fine with either as they have similar specifications as stated by manufacturer, but you should look for reviews that show what the actual tested static contrast ratios, brightnesses, black levels, and color gamut coverages are.
Edit: And from my personal experience, BenQ customer service is nice (I didn't RMA through them, though, I did through Buy.com). I called to inquire about the dead pixel/stuck pixel policy (which is much better than Samsung's by the way), and I got someone who is in the U.S. and a native English speaker when I called their support number. Furthermore, after the conversation was over, the guy called me back to clarify something he had said before to make sure I had the correct information - that pretty much sold me on getting the monitor (the other choices I was considering were the Samsung 2493HM and the ASUS MK241H).
