I am looking to buy 1900x1200, 2 ms 24" LCD (I have Benq FP93G X 19" 2 ms LCD as right now.) Main purpose is gaming so need the low response time, a bit of movie watching too. This Benq LCD looks pretty sweet.
did anyone try this monitor?

Don't be suckered into the "low ms = good for gaming" BS. It's nothing but marketing hype. Anything faster than 16ms is unecessary - each frame lasts slightly longer than 16ms anyway. And the ultra-low ms ones are TN panels, which have crap image quality and ghost anyway thanks to Overdrive.

If you want a relatively inexpensive 24" monitor, get this one:

I have to disagree. 16 ms gives enormous amount of ghosting in fps gaming (quake3, quake4). I owned BenQ FP91G+ Black 19" 8ms LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 550:1 prior BenQ FP93GX Black 19" 6ms, 2ms (GTG) LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1 and there is a very noticeable improvement with 2ms model. But colors looked a bit washed out.

this monitor uses TN panels, great for price and gaming but viewing angle and colour accuracy suffer
