ASUS VG248QE vs BenQ XL2420TE for melee?

Asus VG248QE

Latency

The latency is an important value for players, we determined as the sum of the signal delay time and half the middle picture change time. The VG248QE shows generally a very short signal delay: at 60 Hz, there are still 1.6 milliseconds at 120 Hz and then 1.2 at 144 Hz even only 0.7.

Also half the average image change time is 2.3 or 1.8 and 1.6 milliseconds by the bank extremely short, thus is fantastic overall latencies yield from 2.3 to 3.9 milliseconds. Even for the most demanding gamers, this is pretty much the ultimate.

I can't find any info about the Benq monitor aside from forums posts so far. This is the best I've found so far

Benq XL2420TE

LightBoost ghosting is virtually nonexistent on both VG248QE and XL2420TE, according to CallSignVega.

Input lag is identical (at least in LightBoost) based on my previous tests of ASUS and BENQ monitors

I have measured the input lag of both my ASUS VG278H and BENQ XL2411T with my prototype Blur Busters Input Lag Tester, and the latency in LightBoost mode (of the two) is darn nearly the same, and non-LightBoost mode (of the two) is the same as well. Less than 1ms difference between the two. I would be surprised if the VG248QE and XL2420TE were even more different.

Also, I understand that the XL2420TE is a new model that uses the same panel as the VG248QE, unlike past XL2420T without the "E" suffix. In addition, the XL2420TE uses PWM-free dimming in non-LightBoost mode, unlike the VG248QE which has had some eyestrain reports. The XL2420TE has a wider brightness dimming range, which is good if you want to be able to dim the screen even further.

The XL2411T that I have here, uses the same panel (1ms, 144Hz) as the new XL2420TE and VG248QE. There might be revisions to the panel, but CallSignVega has played with all three.

Before anyone else writes it, the ideal display is a CRT because it has as close to 0 lag as we can get. Even gaming monitors still lag. Something as small as 8.3ms is still feelable

Is it still confirmed that the Avermedia LGP + a gaming monitor is close to lagless and suitable for competitive play? Just wanted to make sure, I haven't heard anything about them in a while.

It doesn't have to be specifically an Avermedia LGP. There are pass through devices that can convert signals from component cable to HDMI in only microseconds. Playing on a gaming monitor feels almost like a CRT. But if something important is on the line, most would rather not play on a monitor
