LED backlighting offers significant advantages over the CCFL technology used in older LCD monitors. These advantages encompass not only performance metrics such as higher dynamic contrast, no light leakage and flicker-free, but also environmental factors, like a manufacturing process and disposal that produces fewer pollutants.
An integral part of your home and workplace decor
GL60 Series blends perfectly with any decor, adding a hint of low-key elegance to your living space with its high-gloss frame and base stand streamlined by a curvaceous neck that create s stunning visual fluidity. Beautiful from any angle, the back of the GL2460HM is carbon fiber patterned to recreate the powerful drive of a racing car and energize their whole appearance. Incorporating a 16mm slim bezel display, GL60 Series create s a sophisticated look while keeping things nice and compact. You'll find multi-panel configuration for home entertainment or office viewing use much simpler with less distraction from the monitor frame.

I'm a simple guy wanting a good and reasonable priced gaming monitor. I don't need fancy specs with the Samsung and their IPS PLS panel stuff along with other brands. I'm loving this monitor, plug and play, and easily installation.

1) This is the perfect size. 24" is not too big and not too small, both for gaming and video editing work. You don't have to move your head to see the whole screen, but it really fills your field of view.
2) Freakin' beautiful display. I had no dead pixels and with a few tweaks using the basic Windows calibration, I'm extremely satisfied with the colors and clarity. For under $159.99 I don't think it gets much better on a TN panel. And response time is fast.

Summary I'm a simple guy wanting a good and reasonable priced gaming monitor. I don't need fancy specs with the Samsung and their IPS PLS panel stuff along with other brands. I'm loving this monitor, plug and play, and easily installation.
Summary 1) This is the perfect size. 24" is not too big and not too small, both for gaming and video editing work. You don't have to move your head to see the whole screen, but it really fills your field of view. 2) Freakin' beautiful display. I had no dead pixels and with a few tweaks using the basic Windows calibration, I'm extremely satisfied with the colors and clarity. For under $159.99 I don't think it gets much better on a TN panel. And response time is fast. 3) Input options and built in monitor menu options are really good. Nothing to write home about, but it's what you need on a monitor like this. 4) It's BenQ. Cons: I don't really have any. At this price point you don't usually expect to get tilt, height adjust, etc, so I don't call the lack thereof a con. Other Thoughts: If this is your budget, get this monitor. If you have $200 to spend, there are other fantastic options, and BENQ makes several of those.

Pros Works as intended big screen, thinner bezels than some other monitors out there Increased height price of $159.99
Cons weak power cable slot NO DVI or HDMI cable, so... not gaming out of box... kinda
Summary This monitor works great, and as intended, but with a few flaws. The monitor has a weak power cable connector at the back of the monitor, where if I just move the monitor a bit, or accidentally touch and move the power cable, it will shut down. Fortunately, you do not need to do that ever on a regular basis, especially an office environment. Viewing angles are great too. I would suggest to get ASUS if they similar models to this product are of same price, or even $10 more, because they usually come with DVI cables, where as these lower end BenQ monitors do not. As said before, as office use, its great, but if you bought this with the intentions to game on it, (as said in the name of product itself) it may not give you the best performance out of the box, as it does not come with a DVI cable, or HDMI. Luckily, HDMI's come cheap, however, DVI's are a bit pricier. I would suggest check your graphics card or mother board before you buy this monitor, because not all graphics cards or mother boards support HDMI, where you would probably have a few lying around. DVI's are almost on every graphics card or motherboard that was made for the past long while, but cost a few extra bucks to buy.
Summary The HD gaming has been really awesome esp. with newer games and the 2 ms refresh is decent enough for FPS's. I also have the Pro gaming League Benq RL2455HM, and i like this one better. Would buy again.
