Help to decide :)

Hello, my current monitor is dying (it's only 60 hz) and I want to buy one, 120 hz at least.

I'm looking at 3 options that are very similar in price (used)


-Benq xl2420t 120hz
-Asus VG248QE 144hz
-LG 24GM79G-B 144Hz

Which of these do you recommend ?; Main activity, play games: D

Thank you so much

VG248QE

If I am limited to those 3 monitors, and the used price was great, the VG248QE is the one to get. It is compatible with the LightBoost hack, and ToastyX Strobelight. Be noted that if you are very sensitive to eyestrain -- the early models of VG248QE had PWM-dimming, so if you needed a PWM-free backlight, the LG 24GM79G-B is the more eye friendly model.

If the XL2420T was an XL2420Z instead (Z suffix) then I'd be recommending it instead due to Blur Busters Strobe Utility compatibility. Unfortunately, the XL2420T predates the XL2420Z and is not compatible with Blur Busters Strobe Utility.

Hello, I already bought the Asus, on the label it says manufactured in June 2017

from what I understood the "old" generates the health problems mentioned? or all the models?

I hope that only the old ones are the problematic ones or the monitor will be sold immediately.

The 2017 Asus is fine.

Eyestrain is very dependant from person to person, when a backlight flickers badly at a low frequency e.g. 360 Hertz and generates very clearly visibl;e PWM motion artifacts that look similar to this:



Older monitors did this, but newer ones don't.

Hi, I have a similar question, thanks for your help! I can only afford to buy one of these monitors (also used):
BenQ XL2420T (120HZ) 150usd
LG 24GM77 (144HZ) 200usd

*Asus VG248QE is unreachable for me, it costs 360usd here so I'm between the first two monitors*

I really want to buy a newer monitor but right now I am tight on budget. I hate the blurriness of my TV (Samsung nu7100) and I want to play games like quake champions and some fps games on ps4. What is my best option? I read that I can use the lightboost on the benQ one to improve the motion blur issue. Which one is going to have less input lag? BenQ is 2ms gtg and the LG is 1ms gtg. I just want to have a great experience playing on my pc without input lag and (if possible) the lowest motion blur. Will that benQ monitor allow to get overclocked to 144hz without getting damaged? Are any of those three monitors flicker-free? I really appreciate all the information and advise that you can give me. Thanks a lot for your hard work and all the time that you put on this. My English is bad, I'm from south America.



Update: I just found an ASUS VG248QE for about 200usd. Date manufactured: June 2014. Is this model a flicker free Asus or its just the model that has eyestrain issues? Thanks a lot!

Please guys tell me, is the BenQ xl2420t good enough to play (modestly) quake champions (my rig is quite old: i5 4570, gtx660ti, 8gb ram) i want to play quake champions at 100-120fps if i can and play black ops 4 on my ps4 (dual purpose monitor). Thanks in advance!
should i wait for the lazy seller of the Asus or just buy the BenQ?
