Searched online for a gaming monitor, I was going with the BenQ, but decided this one since it was on-sale as well. It has everything that the BenQ has, this one is 75hz instead of 60hz, but that really doesn't matter if you use it for console gaming, which was my primary reason, this monitor is console ready. plug and play right away to any console. The 1ms TraceFree is amazing, you see the difference coming from a 42inch TV. the Eye Care is a plus and different game modes work like a charm for when you are playing FPS games, for example. It has 2 HDMI ports and speakers, yes it has speaker and even thought they are stereo, they sound is great fro when I'm not using my Astro A50 wireless headset while gaming or watching something on the console. This is the best budget gaming monitor IMO, which is console ready. Don't hesitate to get one, I got it even cheaper because BB matched the Amazon price, if the item if sold and ship from Amazon, which this one is. A++++, to BB as well, the warranty is cheap to for 4 years.
