BenQ XL2420G G-Sync Monitor Review

Even though FreeSync is starting to appear, G-Sync is still the go-to tech for gamers seeking an image free of frame-tearing. Today we're checking out BenQ's latest feature-laden display – the 24-inch XL2420G.

2nd Monitor Very Happy

This 2nd monitor has none of those issues... It's perfect. Well worth the price. I was torn and wanted to get the Acer 1440p G Sync display, but I didn't want to gamble with the bad QC everyone was experiencing. So I bought this one instead. Sure the...

No dead pixels, Adjustable stand, Matte bezel, Uniform, Crisp and Vibrant image

My first monitor was from the September 2014 batch and had a number of issues. Dead Pixel, Power button didn't function correctly, 3D light kept coming on and off, scan lines, heavy flickering, unsmooth g sync, pink and green tint on top and bottom of...

The best monitor I've ever owned. I'm buying a second one today.

- Instructions were a little hard to read, but assembly was easy. - Plug ins are on the bottom side of the monitor, so it's a bit annoying to plug everything in (do this before you mount it!). - Make sure your video card is supported before buying this...

Fantastic configuration options ; Beautiful G-Sync ; Comes with a DisplayPort cable ; Blue light reduction feature ; Very crisp display ; Looks sharp on my desk, very easy to maneuver ; USBs were on the left, very easy for my desk

One time I turned the display on after coming home from work and it had a very fuzzy picture. I had to reboot the computer to fix it but haven't seen the issue since. I'm guessing it was drivers

It makes my second monitor look like a 50$ piece of garbage ; The price

Great Monitor!

Not really a con but Gsync is only supported through display port. Which means if you have a mini display port you will need a adapter from mini display to display port..

This monitor has some really nice color detail. The monitor it replaced was the acer g60 which had a fixed height on it, this monitor is so easy to adjust for perfect line of sight i love it ; You don't realize you have screen tearing until you don't....

The controller for the monitor does not seem to work when using the Gsync engine, which is not a huge problem because there is a touch menu on the front of the bezel

Best monitor you can get for an FPS shooter

If you are a hardcore FPS gamer like me (I play Battlefield 4 only), you cannot go wrong with this monitor at all.

Ok ok, I realize the Asus' PG278Q monitor has a slight advantage with it's higher 1440p resolution, HOWEVER, it is constantly sold out and there have been multiple reports of atrocious quality control issues. Personally I decided to wait on that. Benq,...

The only con of this monitor is the price and even then it's $200 cheaper than the Asus PG278Q and Acer's 4k G-SYNC monitor
