BenQ GW2255 21.5IN Widescreen LED VA Monitor 1920x1080 6MS 20M:1 DVI-D Black
Cons:fixed stand, 60hz, color richness, speed

Pros:Contrast, Low input lag, Value for Money, Color, Vastly superior to similar priced TN.
Comment:
I have it's predecessor GW2250 which is pretty much identical. For the money, it's a really good monitor. It can go very bright and the high contrast is amazing. There is none of that TN/IPS glow that makes shadows and black look gray. Blacks look inky jet black and shadow detail is very good making black themed web pages really pop. I really enjoy watching movies on this little monitor because of the realistic contrast and detail in dark scenes. I'm also an avid FPS player and this monitor will work for that but you have to learn to look with your eyes more and not pan around at high speed because the motion blur is quite noticeable and it did hurt my gameplay. The overall color is pleasing but reds and greens lack the richness of a good IPS and have a sort of dark orange and yellowish feel to them.

BenQ GW2255 21.5IN Widescreen LED VA Monitor 1920x1080 6MS 20M:1 DVI-D Black
Cons:senseye messes it up when turned onno 75hz or greater for 1080p

Pros:Great colour/contrasthaven't noticed any lagSize/Price is alright
Comment:
I don't know what to say.This is the best monitor I've owned in the last 20 years easily. I really wish it came with 120hz though. But considering the manufacture and price I got it. 60hz is fine.Colours don't seem to bleedhaven't experienced much eye fatigue with these monitor either.When I turn on senseye, I can noticed two panels(it messes up the contrast/whites badly)

BenQ GW2255 21.5IN Widescreen LED VA Monitor 1920x1080 6MS 20M:1 DVI-D Black
Cons:during wake-up shows 'Input DVI' longer than is necessary, can't find a setting to turn it off.

Pros:So far im impressed. Very nice colors and clear. First Benq. Time will tell if its rock solid or not.
Comment:
If you're looking for a great monitor - this is a must by! The screen feels high quality, and is worth all of the money I spent on it. Games look a lot more vibrant with this screen compared to my Samsung monitor. After using BenQ, I will never go back.

Cons:inaccurate color

Pros:clear, sharp resolution
Comment:
color is not accurate, it's far too red. all of the blue hues are purple. the screen is slightly blurry... I guess it's not bad, but there's better monitors around.

BenQ GW2255 21.5IN Widescreen LED VA Monitor 1920x1080 6MS 20M:1 DVI-D Black
Cons:only DVI and VGA inputs. Stand is awful.

Pros:Great Price. Looks good.
Comment:
For a budget monitor this is pretty decent. It's bright, and responsive, although the colour may not be super accurate. The stand is pretty bad. you get about 10 degrees of tilt. no height, swivel, etc.
