Is this a good monitor for gaming? I don't care about g-sync or 120/144hz that much..What I want is to have nice crisp colours while I game.

Yes! I am a hard core PC gamer and I am very happy with this monitor! The IPS panel provides clean, accurate and vibrant colors in all my games, from RPGs to racing simulators.

Can't say that I have experience with a lot of other monitors, but I've got 2 of these on my gaming rig and they look great.

An Xbox does not run games at 140 FPS, meaning it won't be able to use 144 Hz AT ALL. Games run at like 30-50 FPS, so if your buying this monitor for just your Xbox, it would be a bad idea.

Read my review about this monitor for PC & console gaming.http://www.amazon.com/review/R3X6P1G2C28FH/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004G8QO8OBasically I would avoid this monitor for gaming and instead get a monitor that let's you edit the image color saturation, includes speakers with a headphone jack to avoid buying RCA audio adapters for console gaming, a matte anti-glare screen to prevent light reflections appearing on the screen, and has a 5ms or less response time for less ghosting (or image trailing) effect.This monitor has none of the things I listed and for the price that this monitor costs you're better off buying something else that's cheaper.

Display settings assuming your graphics card can handle 144hz ...... if your using integrated graphics you most likely will only have 120hz option.

I bought this monitor and I'm using it with an Nvidia GeForce GT 425M 1 GB and it runs fine, playing wow at fair with 2K res. at 60 FPS.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

The color on the VX2370 is not as bright and vibrant as my VX2770. No banding on my particular 2370 monitor. It has served me well for several years now. In it's price range it's a very good monitor. GPU's well have some effect on color.

Yes this TV is killer for gaming!! That is why I bought it and was worried about the motion blur also and after I got it I was super stoked! I also got it to watch motocross racing and it has been great for that also. So Go for it man it is a great TV.

I would say no as its a 60 hz monitor. I've had this monitor for a while and it just is straight up not as smooth as u would want if u want to play competitively. If you want a good monitor for FPS games, I just got the BenQ XL2420TE which is a 144 hz monitor and it was a huge change from 60. Much smoother and just a better experience.

thats the reason i purchased this monitor,it is only 60hz but it works as well for gaming as my asus monitor at 144hz refresh rate, I think the picture quality is better with the benq cad monitor, most games dont run any faster than 60hz

It works awesome, best monitor I've owned by far. Colors look great, haven't noticed any blurring or delayed refresh rate. Highly recommend. I was pretty uneasy about shelling out the money for it up front but glad I did.

I use it for gaming. I have played Tribes Ascend, Trine 2, Starcraft 2, and the latest Elder Scrolls game. It is great. Folks have said that there is an input delay, but I don't really notice it. It is amazing. Make the jump. You will not regret it.I would highly recommend pairing it up with a adjustable desk mount (Ergotronics). I use SLI 460s and have not had any issues so far.

Compared to an IPS the BenQ is ugly; the colors are washed out, etc. 2 things: 1) this is a gaming monitor pure and simple--and THE BEST monitor for gaming (other then old CRTs). It has 120hz, black equalizer, the fastest response time, etc and 2) you can calibrate the colors (see http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm) which makes a significant improvement! But sitting next to an IPS benq will always fall short in picture quality.

I do not use the monitors to play games. Yes, I do have two mounted next to each other. However I do use them professionally. Software development and other related tasks. They are superb: responsive, true colors, no discernible after imaging and easily adjustable, when needed. Hope this helps, good luck.BCh.

I use this for gaming all the time, BattleField 3, Borderlands 2, Diablo III, Resident evil 5. No Drawbacks from what I have seen. outstanding performance in my opinion. running it with EVGA GTX 680 Quad Sli on Rampage iv Extreme MoBo, 3930k at 5.2 Ghz, 2x 480 GB Intel SSD Raid 0. NZXT 810 switch tower with all EK cooling Products. I would say the 2 best monitors out there with the right performance/price ratio are the DELL U3011 and HP zr30w.

I have a PX2710MW and it is AWESOME! NO bad pixels ever; just fine colors and a great and bright display. I wondered about them since it was an unknown beck then but it is as good or better than my previous Samsung monitors.
