How's the picture quality? I have an IPS panel but how good is this monitor?

I don't know why people downgrade this monitor. The picture is beautiful the viewing isn't as extreme but the response and picture quality is way better then a IPS monitor! I have a LG IPS as my task monitor and three BenQ's as my game display. Plus if anything goes wrong BenQ support is helpful and they replaced one of my older monitors rather quickly.

The quality is very good coming from a IPS monitor myself I can say this monitor is very good in picture quality. One of the best monitors I have ever owned.

Scotty picture is excellent, I use it for gaming combined with a GTX780 video card, and it rocks. I find 3d pretty much worthless, at least for gaming.

Compared to an IPS the BenQ is ugly; the colors are washed out, etc. 2 things: 1) this is a gaming monitor pure and simple--and THE BEST monitor for gaming (other then old CRTs). It has 120hz, black equalizer, the fastest response time, etc and 2) you can calibrate the colors (see http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm) which makes a significant improvement! But sitting next to an IPS benq will always fall short in picture quality.

Bad. The colors are all majorly washed-out -- especially yellow. Pure yellow shows up as more of a canary color rather than a rich golden yellow like it should be. Furthermore, the pixel pitch is huge so it looks like you're looking at the image through a screen door. Avoid, the high refresh rate is not worth it, especially at its price.

The main downside to this monitor is that it is a TN matrix panel. I have had nothing but IPS panels and I never realized TN panels could be so bad. Here's an example. Basically, I am looking at a white screen with my head level with the monitor. The middle of the screen is white, the bottom of the screen is a bit cyan/blue-ish white, the top of the screen is a pinkish-red white. I am about 2 feet away from the screen. If you can find a 120hz IPS panel, I'd say go for it. That's really the only downside. Getting the color, gamma, contrast, and brightness levels correct while not crushing blacks or washing out whites can be pretty difficult, but there are plenty of programs and calibrators and settings that you can find online that are quite suitable. Honestly, it's a turn off but I am getting used to it.

Seems to be a good quality monitor as far as picture quality is concerned so far. No flicker issues.

Yeah, it's great. It's not 4k or 120Hz or something, but I have three of these doing eyefinity, and everything looks beautiful. 10/10 would recommend for gamers

In terms of response time, it's got some of the lowest response times compared to other IPS or AMVA monitors, and games look great on it. It won't beat a 144hz gaming monitor obviously, but I play competitive games on it and it does pretty well.

I have a 130 inch screen and the quality is good. Doesn't degrade with size. It's not a 1080p projector but does 720 well. Good projector for the price.

The matte display is fine. They are not glossy at all. A very good monitor for this price point.

I have not seen such images. So far it's been a great monitor, although I didn't get the full max benefit until I started using DisplayPort cable (Mini-DP to DP). Then clarity, resolution, everything opened up.

It has very good side viewing. It's the equivalent as viewing a decent TV screen. It's considerably better than my old AIO, a 24" MSI. That touchscreen seemed to add a fuzzy layer to the screen so it wasn't very crisp but not so on this Dell. I'd buy it again.

Very good. 720p. I'm very happy with it. Don't forget to set video settings to best for better quality.

I had trouble getting it to look right. Extremely bad bleed through around the edges. Google "benq XL2420T settings". Good luck! I spent $100 less and got 3 acer IPS monitors and am loving it

Yes, it is an awesome monitor. I had to turn the brightness down, but this is true with any monitor really. I get eye strain, but this is a personal thing. However, it is an awesome monitor well worth the price. Asus makes great hardware.

I have a PX2710MW and it is AWESOME! NO bad pixels ever; just fine colors and a great and bright display. I wondered about them since it was an unknown beck then but it is as good or better than my previous Samsung monitors.

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.

I can only speak for myself, but I really don't care for the glossy screens. I have one on my Dell laptop and it looks great in perfectly controlled lighting; However, it is very reflective and I find myself adjusting the screen angle more than I would like. I am also looking at this monitor, which looks like a good deal, but I think I'll go with a matte screen.

The monitor is quite matte. Very little reflection. This works well if you have a light behind you (like a window); however, there may be some slight cost of sharpness vs a glossy screen.

Yes its good, plan on using hdmi only though. There may be better choices out there for the price now that this monitor is about 6-8 months old

this is a great monitor and you will not be disappointed by it's picture quality, but DONT USE the onboard speakers as they are junk in my opinion. Just bypass it and hook it up to some decent speakers. I recommend Bose speakers or if you want a little cheaper option buy a set of Boston Acoustics used BA-270 or 280 series from a reseller on this site or e bay. the new boston acoustics that they sell new are JUNK and sound like it. Wanna really rock go for the Bose it is well worth the extra dough.
