I have a 24" Asus monitor that's 8 years old now and it's got some serious burn in and is at the end of its' life. I want a new display and I want it to be as cheap as possible. Major brands only (Samsung, Asus, HP, Lenovo, BenQ, etc). Purchasing within the next two weeks.

Ive been running one of these for 5 years now, bought a second one 2 years ago, now using both as secondaries for my 32" photo editing monitor.

Fair warning, out of the box it has severe "reverse ghosting" issues, so changing the overdrive setting in the menu is a must.

I like that one. And it's funny that the Asus that I've had has had problems but the Acer which it sits next to is much older and has not had any issues since I got it.

Any opposition to this BenQ that I found? It's one of the higher rated ones on Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/benq-gw2480-24-full-hd/p/N82E16824014466
