BenQ Monitors response time

Solution
No, it won't be too much. But response time isn't accurate because it's measured differently as well. 5 ms BenQ might not be 5 ms Dell. A cheap panel can have a higher high than one that is marketed much higher in terms of response time, we really don't know what the true specs are anymore in the display market. You'll be happy with that purchase though. Enjoy your new monitor! :)

Very true, likely a 14ms response time with a combined (response + signal processing time) of between 18-25 ms of effective latency. That figure is pretty standard for 60Hz IPS, much better than a television. You may notice some some blurring or input lag during fast gameplay but if you are already used to 60Hz panels, it is nothing to write home about.

The newer AH-IPS panels (this panel) are pretty awesome by the way. You will be impressed by the viewing angles and color gamut. Enjoy.

 
Hi guys I'm planning to get this monitor too and it's $20 off right now. I'm comparing it between the Asus VX239H or VC239H which are both $20 more. I'm leaning towards the VC one just because it has a vesa mount though it doesn't have any MHL capabilities and only has 1 hdmi port, I'm not sure how to use MHL and I have no consoles to use the second HDMI port for so I'm more than glad to be sacrificing MHL for vesa mounting option.

Now I noticed that the Asus VC239H consumes lesser power at <22watts max while BenQ's VZ with a rough 35watts. Compared to my old 2006 LCD 19" monitor (Samsung Syncmaster940BW) with max of 38watts or so, the BenQ one is quite high with 35watts yes? If I can recall the specs on their site they claim that its LED and I'm hoping that it is, but really why is 35watts? Could it possibly just reach at brighter levels?

I'm a little more worried now that you've mentioned that it has a 14ms response time. I'll be using it for light school editing work so I'll be needing an IPS for color accuracy but I'm a little competitive in csgo gaming and I'm assuming 5ms is as high as I'd be comfortable with for response times. Will this manufacturer-measured 5ms (14ms right?) be fine for csgo?

Hmmm now that I've laid my comparison, I think I'd be willing to get the Asus VC one for $20 more but people are saying the stand is not as stable and that it has minor backlight bleeding, can anyone comment on the BenQ VZ's rectangular stand and if backlight bleeds are noticeable? I am aware that IPS can really be a candidate for this though.
