Is this monitor ok for gaming or would it be better to get the cheaper TN model? I like the bigger size of this monitor worried about ghosting.

the monitor is great for gaming, I don't have ghosting or tearing. Pixel speed is fine.You need decent video cards to use it although. 3840x2160 is tough with 16xAF, 4xMSAA, occlusion, parallax and all the other visual candy. Also you need a video card that can specifically talk to the monitor with supporting drivers, both aspects. display port 1.2 is the only connection that will give you 60fps, dvi and hdmi can't push it at 60, only 30.To get decent frames over 60+ I use 2 Titanz sli.

I believe (one of) reason(s) the TN models is cheaper is because it's only 30hz, which will be horrible for gaming!

It's a LED monitor with 120hz refresh rate, 1ms response (GTG) time and also it's a 3D monitor..Here is the Amazon link if that will help you. You can also access the BENQ website for more info.BenQ High Performance Gaming XL2720T 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitorbtw, I love this monitor, if I had to name one con, it's that the colors are not a true as other monitors are. Colors seem a bit washed out...but, a little tweaking on the settings can correct most of that. This screen's strong point is the 120hz that delivers smooth images in gaming...FPS look fantastic, no lag or blur and the monitor itself is beautiful.

Absolutely. It's a really great monitor and I'd be more than willing to buy more from this company in the future. I use it for gaming and it provides stunning detail.

Is this the monitor I want to get for fact paced FPS games? Is it a 60 or 75 MHz monitor? I run a Nvdia gtx960 card.

Yes this TV is killer for gaming!! That is why I bought it and was worried about the motion blur also and after I got it I was super stoked! I also got it to watch motocross racing and it has been great for that also. So Go for it man it is a great TV.

You are welcome. ... You are better off than I was. I didn't even get a CD with the one I ordered (it was used). I had to download it. I don't know enough about gaming to understand "ghosting," but I hope it doesn't happen on your screen. I am loving mine. I use it for stock charts and watching TV. I particularly like being able to have the TV and stock charts up in the divided screen mode.

It works awesome, best monitor I've owned by far. Colors look great, haven't noticed any blurring or delayed refresh rate. Highly recommend. I was pretty uneasy about shelling out the money for it up front but glad I did.

I'm an old retired guy and am not much into gaming. I really can't answer your question, however I will say that for other purposes, this is a great monitor.

I use the BenQ specifically for PC gaming. It works great. I'm very happy with the purchase. I have a 3 monitor setup with the BenQ in the middle and a couple cheaper monitors for the outside. I can definitely tell the different in quality.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

This monitor has only a DVI dual link connector, no VGA nor HDMI. If you can install a dedicated graphics card that (also) has that sort of connector, you're in business. It's a very clear and sharp monitor. Be sure your card will support the resolution to get the best out of it. I[m using a GTX 770 card. I've had no issues with this monitor so far. it arrived with no dead pixels.

Looks fine to me. Most LCDs have a 'ghosting issue'; however, unless a person wants to spend 10K on a monitor, these are fine.

Honestly haven't used for gaming. I would recommend tv with higher refresh rate for gaming. Vizio has launched a new series with 240hz refresh rate and you should check that out.

It has a 5ms refresh rate and a "Game Mode" feature on the front panel that allows quick change to Game Mode. At this price point this is a very good monitor to use for gaming. It also presents an excellent picture as well as excellent text display when not in Game Mode.

Well, I only know about its Gaming performance. I have used 3 monitor setup in the past and I can tell you that I vastly prefer this ultra wide for gaming. Movies look great on it and it's wonderful for internet browsing etc. I have had it for several months and would give it a 5 star rating. Zero regrets from a crusty old PC Gamer.

Hey man. Yeah I bought it for gaming. It's freaking awesome man, it works perfectly and has been the best piece of equipment i've owned yet. I bought it to finish my $1,200 gaming computer setup. I highly recommend this monitor.

I'm not sure if you play on a console (such as Xbox One or PS4) or on your computer, but I personally have not experienced any ghosting or pixelation drops whilst playing. Lag however is not caused by the monitor but by your internet connection in the case of console gaming but with pc gaming, if your monitor cant refresh frames quick enough, the game could lag some but probably not enough to notice since it would only be between 1ms to 5ms. If you were thinking about buying this monitor for gaming, it would be a waste of money though since current systems do not support 4k HD that this monitor is capable of. I would go with a traditional 1080p monitor with an IPS display from a carrier like Asus who is cheaper but also known for having some of the best quality items on the market today. :)
