Conclusion
The VG236H isn't the fastest 120 Hz monitor, but it what it lacks in responsiveness, it makes up for with extra hardware features its competitors are lacking. Once it's set up properly, it has colours that are as good as the Acer GD245HQ's. If usability is important for you, it's the best 3D monitor around. If not, head for the GD245HQ.
This is the second time that HannsG has managed to pull off a decent 28'' monitor for a price that easily beats the rest of the market. It's perfect for anybody who puts size and price ahead of insisting on the very best quality.
