Hey guys Presto here,
Well atm I'm in America, and i recently ran into some money... so I'm deciding i will invest it into a 120Hz monitor, the only problem is i don't know which one i want to buy...
Ive been doing some research and had a few in mind, but i was wondering what you guys had to say about 120Hz monitors, and which models you would personally recommend.

Just a few things i was after:
A well known brand, I don't want a cheaper branded monitor screwing up on me, I'm looking to invest in this monitor and would rather not be replacing it anytime soon (BenQ, Samsung, Alienware all that jazz).
Looking for around 24".
Don't really want/need 3D capability as it doesn't particularly interest me.
Will be mainly using it to play CoD4.
Cash limit of $400-$450 (Should be plenty as I've seen a lot that are cheaper than this).

Hope you guys can help me out.

Cheers,
Presto.

I have the BenQ and couldn't be happier with it.. That being said, I haven't tried any others.

Did you get lucky in vegas???

I've only ever owned the 2233rz and they are $260 on PCCG atm (I think).

Although if you got the $400-450 budget, I know a few people that swear by these;

buying this next week, cheapest and samsungs dead pixel policy is better than benqs, if you want an adjustable stand may as well get benq though (be aware that their dead pixel policy is only like 2 weeks after purchase depending on how long you're in US)

Bullet you would actually be a decent player if you had 120hz

Thanks for the recommendations
I always have been leaning more towards the BenQ XL2410T as i know a lot of people who use it, only reason why i wasn't jumping both feet in is because it has that 3D capability and id rather not waste money on something that i don't think i will even use. I also have to measure it because it does look like it stands quite tall.

So that being said, If anyone has any other recommendations that would be awesome guys, as I'm still keen on hearing what you all have to say if there are any better monitors etc
