BenQ XL2411T or Eizo FS2333-BK

My old TFT had a defect, so a replacement was needed. Field of application is for the most part games 60% Office 20% and also the image editing 20%. So I needed a TFT with a minimum of input lag, panel with short response time (typically TN panels) and the best possible color reproduction (IPS panel) for the occasional photo editing. 16:10 screens did not come to me as a player in question since despite or perhaps because of the higher vertical resolution of 1200 pixels at play often at the sides is cut off at some image. A 120 or 144 Hz TFT I had never played, but I read often that the fluid display could bring a lot of fun. Of the old CRT monitors I knew even this great 120Hz effect. 3D is not very interesting for me. After much research and reading of test eg prad.de, much shortlisted on the BenQ XL2411T and Eizo FS2333-BK. Since the focus was on playing and there is no 120Hz IPS panel TFT, I have decided to BenQ. I hoped from the screen a reasonably good color representation. Unfortunately, I was not so convinced of the color display of BenQ. So I've ordered yet the Eizo FS2333-BK to the screens to compare.

In direct comparison to me the following things are noticed:
Both screens can be adjusted in height, the BenQ slightly higher the Eizo little easier. A turn of the screen is possible with both, I do not use Pivot. One inch size difference makes the BenQ positive impact. The BenQ has the more beautiful for my taste style.
In a direct comparison of photos of Eizo has thanks to the IPS panels much stronger and more vivid colors. The TN panel of BenQ is consistently paler. In both screens, the display is clean and sharp. The black level and contrast is better in the Eizo. With dark games like Alan Wake there when Eizo real black to see. When BenQ is it more of a very dark gray, but never real black. For this fall on the huge halos of Eizo in dark images. I did not expect at this monitor. Especially in the lower right corner and at the left side of the screen looks so bright that the "gray" BenQ is dark again. The BenQ is very uniformly lit for my taste. From the wider gamut of Eizo I personally direct the photo comparison nothing. When watching very slow curves makes then but the BenQ occasionally Color banding noticeable. When there is not the Eizo. Depending on the position in front of the screen, the colors change at BenQ. The eyes must therefore what height and angle relates exactly in the middle are located. When Eizo there is here thanks to IPS panel no problems.
I then run a few test programs of prad.de to see me, among others, the ghosting in the screens. Ghosting is present in both screens. A so-called Light Boost Hack it can be when BenQ but completely eliminate. He also thanks to the 144 Hz no discernible for me tearing. However, an unexpected problem when Eizo has opened in this Test. Some of the PRAD test programs have a gray background. Here me a pretty strong fibrillation noticed the Eizo. When viewing photos turn this flicker me is not noticed. I have read more of PWM flicker, perhaps it is here to this phenomenon. An acquaintance of mine has this flicker the way can not perceive. But since I do in Photoshop, Lightroom and Co often work with large gray areas flickering for me is unacceptable. Even with other monochrome large surfaces me this flickering noticed.
During the subsequent comparison of the screens in games, but then came the big aha effect. Make the 144 Hz of BenQ especially in fast games like BF3, TF2 a really big difference. The display on the BenQ runs something of liquid and smooth, which is really fun. I really wanted to keep the 144 Hz monitor.

A colorimeter to adjust the colors I do not possess. However, since the Eizo is loud mode tests have a good color reproduction in the User 1, I have now tried to set the BenQ in this direction. After much trying, I have found the following settings starting from the default profile and stored in an own profile in the monitor:
Brightness: 60
Contrast: 51
Sharpness: 5
Gamma: 5
Color Temperature User: R: 100 G: 97 B: 82
AMA: High
Immediate Mode: ON

Thus, the color display is already much better than in the available presets. Since the color and contrast but still did not fit in comparison to Eizo, I have made the following changes to the driver in the settings of my graphics card:

Customize nVidia Desktop Color Settings:
Brightness: + 42%
Contrast: + 65%
Digital Color Correction: + 60%

With these settings, I am extremely pleased with the BenQ as regards color reproduction. In parallel comparison of more than 100 photos, the images are often made on the Eizo and BenQ now the identical impression. The better IPS panel falls here, depending on the photo more or less strong. I often had very look closely to see the difference. For my run as a hobby imaging absolutely sufficient. Disadvantage when BenQ remains the poorer representation of black and the smaller color space / color banding. Some colors look on the Eizo still richer and more natural. Since my focus is on playing and the Eizo has problems with the lighting and flickering, the BenQ is the winner for me. But quite a bit of settings needed was to change the colors represent satisfactory, there is only 4 stars.
