Is there any variance between 2 monitors of the same type?

Everything about displays and monitors. 120Hz, 144Hz, 240Hz, 4K, 1440p, input lag, display shopping, monitor purchase decisions, compare, versus, debate, and more. Questions? Just ask!

What would be the best way to methodically test 2 of these 600hz BenQ's side by side to determine which is best?

Realistically, you probably won't notice a difference between them. I guess it depends on how OCD you are. I would just buy one, spend a week or two using it and see if you're happy with it. I honestly think you'll be wasting time buying two and trying to see if there's a noticeable difference between a panel.

If you were to test TN monitors side-by-side you would need to:

-Find a way to sit directly in front of them at the same distance - so a wide desk would help with that
-Make sure both monitors are set to the exact same settings
-Plugged in using the same cable (e.g. HDMI / DP)
-Set both monitors to duplicate mode from Windows display settings
-Carefully pixel peep and look at both monitors to see if there's a noticeable difference, e.g. panel uniformity
