Not really worried , but my unit did not come with v2 firmware installed. Kind of a bummer. Love this monitor and would recommend and purchase again.

I purchased this monitor for my brother as he plays CSGO competitively and he says that using this monitor has given him a very big competitive edge.

I bought this to move up from an older TN panel that I've been using for some time. First thing you'll notice turning it on is the absolute worst brightness, contrast and color settings that you ever did see. I spent a good week fine tuning settings in Windows and the BenQ Display Port software to get it ironed out. Once you have the display to your liking, the colors are quite good for a TN panel. The blacks and grays can be a little washed out, but that may just require more setting tweaks on my part.But this is one heck of a gaming beast! Playing ANYTHING at 120hz or above is a joy. Animations are fluid, input reactions are immediate and overall the whole experience is a sight to behold (Won't be able to go back to 60hz anytime soon). The Blur Reduction mode on the monitor eliminates all motion blur from the picture, but also cuts monitor brightness quite a lot. Not really a problem if you're playing at night or in a dark room. Some ghosting can be seen at the corners of the screen when this mode is on, but when you're focused on a game it's not an issue.The price is the elephant in the room though. As others have said, $400 can get you a damn good IPS display with much better colors and visual fidelity. Knocking off a star for that reason alone. If you plan on getting this monitor, get it on sale.At the end of the day though this is a damn good gaming panel and I highly recommend nabbing one when they come on sale. No buyers remorse here!

Overall an excellent monitor. Take a few minutes to look up better configurations to vastly improve the colour relative to the factory settings.

I was worried about the viewing angle because of the panel type but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't an issue.

perfect screen works great

I went from another 24 inch monitor at 5ms and 60mhz so for me the biggest difference right out of the box was how sharp the image would be while moving quickly in games. Sharp edges would stay sharp, I was so used to seeing blur while shaking the view in game that I wasn't noticing it anymore but now I could never go back!Also I have been enjoying putting the monitors at 144mhz and using v-sync, this way you can have a good 144fps and no tearing! While on sale I would definitely recommend this monitor for gamers!

I recently found a small stuck pixel (red) over by the bottom left corner of the screen, it is visible and noticeable but it doesnt matter me much cuz its over by the corner, but beware when you got urs, make sure to check it before u call it good.It is a bit on the expensive side, but it is a good buy, as mentioned above, it have really bright white due to the unnecessary high gamma and contrast, for normal daily usage, u will dislike the high gamma, it cause some washout, not a lot, but some noticeable when viewing pictures, as for movies, not bad at all, in fact, it is really good for movies and videos, it doesnt have the best colour reproduction (again, due to being a TN panel), but it is way better than most other 144hz 1ms monitors. AND as for gaming, which is the sole reason I, and probably most of u, get this monitor for, it does an absolute fantastic job when gaming, so cant complain on that part.bottom line, im happy with my purchase. would recommend.

Arrived without incident, and works as advertised.Good GTG response (1ms)Good gaming panel24 inch, not the biggest panel but suitable.Can do 3D with right equipment (Nivida 3D sticker on bezel)Pricey at full price when IPS panels are available at this price range.Seems targeted at the gamer more then anything.Minus 1 for price (at full price, be sure to price match this one!)

Playing games like CS:GO really makes this monitor shine where you need to see every moment of the action and exactly right when it happens. I am going to need to upgrade my GPU soon to fully take advantage of the 144Hz without turning down my graphics in all my games. I used this monitor so far with my PC and PS4 and makes gaming all that much more fun. I am now a BenQ fanboy and will only be buying from them when I need a gaming monitor in the future.
