Samsung 2494HM vs BenQ E2420HD

[inverter204]

So recently my old computer died and now I have built a new computer. I am also looking for a monitor that can be used for gaming and movies.

I have been looking at these two monitors:

1. Samsung 2494HM
2. BenQ E2420HD

Budget is around $250 and my computer system has a Radeon HD 5770. Will be used for gaming and movies. HDMI is preferred but can do without and would like it to be 24" with 16:9.

I would like your advice on which of these 2 monitors to choose or if you have any other suggestions that fits my needs that would be great.
