Our Verdict

Acer GN246HL Bbid

BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P is much better than the Acer GN246HL Bbid. The BenQ has much better ergonomics and a flicker-free backlight. The Acer has a faster response time, but there is noticeable overshoot, causing distracting ghosting artifacts behind fast-moving objects. The BenQ has lower input lag, ensuring a responsive gaming experience, even when gaming at 60Hz, great for console gamers.
