GL2460HM

Firstly, I would have to say that the ideal user for this product is someone who spends a lot of time either playing video games or doing work on a screen. I personally use this product to play xbox one, but it would also be great for everyday work or even a dual monitor setup. If you play video games casually or don't spend very much time on a computer, then this monitor might not be worth the purchase. Overall this really is a fantastic product for the price.Now I'll talk about a few positives. The colors and picture are fantastic, and the fact that it has external speakers is a big plus because a lot of monitors don't. I've never had any significant problems with this monitor after owning it for a bit over a year and half. The frame rate and the quality of picture are surprisingly high. I used to have a problem playing on big television screens because there would be a delay in my reaction time that gave me a disadvantage when playing online. With this BenQ, that problem goes away entirely. I would strongly recommend this monitor to you if you are wanting to use this for gaming or for work on a computer.Next, a few small negatives. The first negative is the speakers, which was actually one of my positives as well. It's true that it is a plus that this monitor actually has speakers, however they are just a little bit quiet. If you want to use this monitor for gaming and require extremely high quality sound, these speakers might not provide the quality of sound and volume capacity that you are looking for. If you fall into this category and are purchasing this monitor, I would recommend also getting some sort of gaming headset to route your game sound to, which plenty of gamers already own anyway. This product would pretty much be the perfect monitor if it was capable of producing some louder and higher quality sound. One other small thing that would make this better is moving the menu buttons to an easier to locate area or including a remote with the monitor.Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this monitor's impressive performance given the fact that its price is significantly lower than many other competitors or even other BenQ models. If you're looking for a cheap monitor that can perform all of the tasks that you need it to do with no major issues, then look no further. You won't regret it!

Austin Cunningham’s insight on the BenQ GL2460HMAfter reading my review of the gaming monitor, I believe that every video game player that is also looking for a fast, reliable, and high definition monitor will lean towards this monitor. Now everyone has computers so just owning one monitor does now make me an expert. I had two ACER monitors before this and now that I have this gaming monitor for my middle screen, it has allowed me to realize the criteria that are important for my new monitor.My gaming monitor criteria• Eye-Stress: This is important because I frequently spend more than 8 hours on a computer at a time.• Brand Quality/Recognition: This is important as there a lot of computer monitors out there, and having one with good quality makes me feel secure.• Compatibility: The monitor being able to plug into most computers rather than needing adapters.• Speed: Less of a student need and more of a gamer need. Still important to separate monitors from one another.The Ban GL 2460HM gaming monitor comes with blue light reduction allowing gamers or students to glare at the screen without damage to their eyes, and students to be able to at least keep the stress off their eyes as they write their papers for long periods of time. Which satisfies my eye stress criteria as beforehand I myself used glasses that reduced stress and blue light.The BenQ name is also synonymous with gamers as the top choice. These are the monitors that they use at professional gaming events where millions of dollars are on the line. The brand recognition has been great as all my friends online or in person when I told them about the BenQ gaming monitor they all knew right away that I had chosen a quality choice which in electronics can always be one perilous click away from purchasing a bad device.After owning the other monitors I know that having the option of multiple connections is paramount to gamers who have multiple monitors. I also at any point may find that my graphics card may be not up to par and want to buy another. This one including HDMI, VGA, and DVI has insured it will work with almost every graphics card I could add to my computer.I chose this monitor was the BenQ TN technology that is leading the way in refresh rates for gaming monitors. With TN coming in at a blazing 1 mili-second refresh rate allowing myself and other gamers that chose this monitor to have a slight edge on all others in first person shooting video games where everything happens in mili-seconds.The only negative about the monitor which I knew about before, was that it does not have 4k resolution only the now standard 1080P. Now BenQ does make 4k models, and amazon has them starting around $580. Since this monitor was only $148, a huge $400 difference puts a huge advantage for the BenQ GL2460HM.Other than the one negative aspect everything has lived up to, and exceeded my expectations for what a gaming computer monitor could possibly be. BenQ did such good things with this monitor I do not believe I will own anything other than one of the best computer monitors on the market now.

I was looking for a budget 24" computer screen for watching movies and playing a few games. From my research on Amazon, this BenQ was one of the cheapest price wise. There were a few that were within this BenQ's price range, but what sealed the deal for me were the reviews for them all. All other models had quiet a few 1/2 star reviews of serious problems with the monitor like extensive light bleeding and dead pixels. BenQ on the other hand had very few, and most were not significant problems. Knowing BenQ's history with gaming displays, this was the easy choice. I first hesitated because I really wanted a flush front display like some other models I was checking. Then I came to my sense's, do I want a screen that looks prettier with many problems, or this BenQ that showed to be less problematic? I made the practical choice and went with BenQ.I wasn't disappointed, I have had no problems with the display at all. I've had this monitor for 8 months and it's solid. I enjoy the placement of the control buttons, because it gives you a natural grip when pressing them. Use the controls are a bit slow (you need 1/2 sec delay between each button press) but that is the case with every monitor. It's a monitor without any processing power, things take time. It has good options for 1 button setups (to change output for example), so that delay is not a big deal.In the end remember you're getting just about the cheapest 24" screen on the market, don't expect the latest HD action games compare to your $400 screen. For the price, this screen has no short comings.
