From around the web

I bought this projector for gaming purposes, and I’ve fallen in love with it. First of all it’s true 24 inches, not like how some 24 inch monitors are 23.6 inches, but they label themselves to compete in the 24inch line. This monitor is awesome because it has fulfilled all aspects of my needs. It has a low price which is the best part, followed by great specifications, completed with a 3 year warranty!

The BenQ G2411HD is a True Full HD 24 inch monitor which has HDMI, DVI, and D-Sub connectivity, which means you, can connect your console and your computer in at the same time without having to fiddle around with cables when you want to switch between the two. It also sports 2ms GTG/5ms response time which is exactly what you need for FPS games, but then again most monitors have that nowadays.

So what is so special about the G2411HD compared to the rest of the monitors out there? You get more bang for your buck on a monitor that gives you HDMI, high brightness, great design, great warranty, and best on top of all a low price! Definitely recommended to those who have considered it, it’s a great monitor!
