I'm buying a new monitor at the end of the week and I'm just doing research and so on in regards to the buy.

I've been looking at these monitors [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] & [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] but not sure if its the best fit for what im after.

The monitor will primarily be used for gaming (CS:GO, DOTA, MC mostly) and general web browsing and development.

I do have a bit of a tight budget £150 // 150GBP however I can stretch to 200 (though i would prefer not to)

Can anybody help me out?

Cheers.

Does it come in black?
Is the 6MS response time an issue if you were playing fast paced games (CS:GO as an example)?

At 60hz you won't notice a differences.

Also advertised response times are completely irrelevant it's input lag which matters.

The one from the US is the same monitor, but in black. The one from the UK is black, but it's not the same monitor. It's still an alright panel, but it's a little bit different. The silver one looks fine anyway, trust me. It's the one thing I wasn't happy about with my set-up, having a silver monitor but since it's literally just the bottom of the monitor that's silver, it looks fine. Don't waste your money on BenQ shit. All 60Hz panels take 16.7ms for the image to refresh, so no, the response time does not matter, at all.
