for:

+ Games like Starcraft II and Diablo III
The sophisticated white design I heard about this monitor. In addition, I bought my first TFT screen from BenQ, which has done me over 7 years until sales always very good service.
Processing & Connections: The workmanship is top quality! (Not like other monitors available in the price range. ASUS (228H) and AOC (E2260SWDA) you will not keep up. This is to the detriment of the VESA mount for a possible wall mounting. HDMI, DVI and VGA everything you could wish for supported unfortunately missing built-in speaker stand:.. The stand is not height-adjustable, thus the device takes up less space on your desk and is very nice to look at it is tiltable and so perfectly adjusted to the user!.
This is not an out-of-the-box product. After installation and the first start automatically selects the RTS profile of the screen. To my mind, far too hard on the eyes. So back to default and run the Mac OS color calibration. Now the picture is great. The colors are highly differentiated and fully (with setting in Mac OS D65 color calibration for a natural white.) Even now I can not connect my speakers. The Minitor delivers superb color spectrum, as he should.
Test areas:
Office applications: Excel For it is due to its widescreen character very well geegignet with the high resolution. Everything is perfectly recognizable and not hard on the eyes. At the same time many columns can be used next to each other
Photo Applications: The images are detailed and the BenQ monitor is also prima this again.
Starcraft II and Diablo III: The main feature of the monitor. I'm very satisfied. In particular, the short reaction times and the black vote (Black Equalizer) meet more than just its purpose.
A special + there by myself for several storable monitor profiles. I always put in at night, and I've programmed the three possible profiles for day, night and gaming. In addition, you can choose three keys of the device for fast functions individually.
Compatibility with the Mac: I have previously connected the monitor via VGA yet. In the Monitor Control I can not see any Xtra features.
CONCLUSION: This is about a good, high-quality processed monitor more than sufficient for normal users purposes! While playing you will find even more flavor to the BenQ RL2240H. Strong buy recommendation!
