“Super BrightI bought this monitor and it turned up next day, first class service from overclockers. The monitor is bright and Clear. Good gaming monitor and you get 24 inches for your £150. My Verdic Real Bargain, buy one now !!!!!!!!!!!!!! bye bye to my samsung bw226 22"30/01/2010“
“very impressivei was going to go for the normal lcd version of this but waited for some reviews which turned out good, and when it came time to order one i saw this as a new product
i took the risk even thou there werent any reviews an took a chance, and wow im glad i did, what a stunning display, ill be honest ive only had it on for few hours now and i havent adjusted any settings and even straight out the box its a superb monitor
i'd reccomend it in a heartbeat especially with it only being a few quid dearer than the normal lcd one
the only thing ive found is its so bright, i have it running in eco mode which dims the panel and darkens it off and its still seriously bright, gonna go mess with the settings and see if i can tone it down abit so i dont have to game with my shades on :p
now i can appreciate the windows 7 desktops in propper 1080 :D thanks again overclockers30/01/2010“

Must buy of the yearWith so many monitors out there, I was in total confusion. Some very expensive, some not too bad and then I saw this beauty.
Not only is it a nice slim design, the quality is amazing. Ive been playing Left for Dead 2 and Bad Company 2 beta and the colours etc are brilliant!
Throw in a 3 year warranty, Overclockers superb next day delivery and you have a real bargain here!13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Surprisingly ImpressedReplaced a Samsung 2032BW with this and there is not one area that this monitor doesn't beat the Samsung.
I needed to make one small gamma adjustment to produce my preferences which took all of 30 seconds. Buttons are on the underside of the monitor but are tactile enough to not fumble blindly and press the wrong one.
Colour reproduction is marvellous, white is pure white and black is as black as you would expect (faint patches of back-light bleed, only noticeable if you screen a full black background).
Web pages look sharp and fonts clean, connect a PS3 up and bluray playback is flawless.
Gaming is tremendous. No ghosting or blurring whatsoever. Does not feel at all laggy.
Comes with a standard VGA cable so make sure you have a DVI if that's what you require. No HDMI input but none required if you have a DVI-HDMI dongle, maybe a "con" for some though.
Piano-black bezel amplifies finger-marks, my simple solution is just don't touch it then! ;)
Dead silent too, only 24W load.13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

FantasticThis is a great monitor, colours are fantastic, nice on the eyes and good automatic settings for photos, games and movies, windows 7 looks great, you can not go wrong with this monitor, it's worth every penny, I can wait until next payday so I can buy another one as a dual set-up to replace my other two 22" LG monitors13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review?

G2420HDBLBeen looking for a while, and decided when I saw this at the price to take the plunge.
If anyone else out there is "thinking" about spending some money on a monitor then look no further than this little beauty.
Screen amazing! Blacks are black and the picture pin sharp!!! Just make sure you use the DVI connector if you have one on your graphic card.
All purchasers need to be aware of the fact however that the box DOES NOT SUPPLY A DVI-D CABLE......only standard VGA.
Other than that, buy one.........buy one now!!!

oh my godwhat is wrong with the price? i would pay well over £200 for this monitor! came through the door the day i wanted it to. Unboxed the monitor and WOW it is HUGE. When i first powered it up it looked bigger than when it wasnt light up. Good quality but the bezels do bend easily....i didnt bend mines but i would be careful picking the monitor up. The stand seems strong. It doesnt wobble around. Perfect 1080p monitor! no setup required. Now i need a HD DVD or bluray drive :)13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Best BuyBetter than anything i could find under £200 yeah its not got a Samsung or LG badge on it (who seem to get all the best reviews) but the performance of this monitor is far better than their models at the same price (which are all mostly 23" not a full 24"or have LED backlight technology).
HD is amazingly clear and detailed blacks look black and whites are bright. the monitor itself is well built and looks good too extreemly happy with mine id say this is going to be very popular13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

BenQ G2420HDBLI bought this to go with my Titan Proton system. Delivery was as usual excellent.
For the money this is an exellent monitor.
I would suggest using a calibration tool such as this http://www.monstercable.com/news/2005-12_HDTVwizard.asp
It really nails the contrast and brightness. I used the ATI control panel to get my settings spot on.13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

Great Monitor - BenQ G2420HDBLAfter reviewing my options, I decided to go get 2 24 inch monitors. The style is great( narrow borders), and looks much nicer then some recent Samsung 22 inch monitors I got at work.
As another reviewer has mentioned, there is no DVI-D cables supplied, so you must purchase these if you plan to use it.
Graphics / Linux
I have also bought the Titan bundle with the ATI Club 5770 card. For all the Linux users out there, multiple monitors is possible in RHEL, Fedora 11 (NOT 12) and Ubuntu 9.10, I have no idea on other distros as I really only use RHEL / Fedora. The issue with Fedora 12 is ATI have not developed the Catlyst driver to support the latest Xorg server, its not the OS that is the problem.
The contract / brightness are absolutely stunning, I am running a KDE 4.3 plasma desktop, and the rendering is polished and clean.13 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes
