Hello and welcome to my thread.. Thing
I've been wanting a 1080p monitor for quite some time now and I'm getting to the point of having enough money to actually buy one, but I don't know which to pick.. I've narrowed it down to two BenQ monitors which seem to be great, no reliability issues (this is an extremely important factor), are of what I think will be the perfect size (24") and of course, 1080p.
Here are the links:
BenQ GL2450HT: http://www.benq.com.au/product/monitor/gl2450ht/
BenQ GL2460:
http://www.benq.com.au/product/monitor/gl2460/
I would prefer a selection out of these two due to the store being literally 5 minutes away which saves me $50 on shipping. Another note is that I'm in Australia and our dollar is at an all-time low right now (I think $1 AUD = .77 USD as of late-April)
Now I'll explain why I'm stuck between these two with pros/cons
GL2460 Pros
- Slimmer Bezel
- Less response time
Cons
- No ergonomic adjustments
- No HDMI (Although I can just plug in my Xbox to the TV I have currently)
GL2450HT Pros
- Possibly better colours and such, I think it's IPS
- Has HDMI and ergonomic adjustments
- Cheaper
Cons
- What seems like much thicker bezels
Why is the 2450HT Cheaper with so many more features? Is build-quality skimped on? less life-span?
I'm greatly confused, and I can't find any reviews on either but that's probably due to my terrible luck at finding good things. If anyone has experience with these monitors then please leave some feedback on them, I don't mind taking the lesser-featured one if it'll definitely last longer.
Oh, almost forgot, I'm currently using a 26" Samsung 1360x768 TV that came with our big old 46" 1080p one from when 1080p was as expensive as 4K is today.
Sorry for the wall of text, thank you for reading, here have a cookie 😀 It's twix flavoured
Edit: Updated the links to the BenQ site, old links didn't allow people outside of Aus to open them
