New Samsung S24A650S.... Opinions

[BEARaj87]

Hi all,

I recently completed my first build, and was talked into a Samsung S24A650S monitor. It was on sale for $220 ($80 dollars off). I had hesitations because the monitor has a 8ms response time and is marketed as more of a "business monitor", but the sales guy said I wouldnt even notice the difference between 2ms and 8ms (lies?). It is hard to find reviews for this monitor so I was wondering if someone owns it or could offer some opinion. Thank you very much!

It's a perfectly good, full-featured panel that you got at a great price. Samsung's "business monitor" label is meaningless, and 8ms is adequate unless you're a professional FPS gamer. Good find.

Good find, thanks for the info. I think I will stick with the monitor.
