    Dynamic contrast ratio is the definition of marketing bullshit.

     

    Get the samsung since 24" is so much better (there may also be better alternatives, what's your location and use case?)

    DCR, or Dynamic Contrast Ratio, is just a marketing gimmick that manufacturers employ to try an who people over. It basically just dims/brightens the backlight on dark/bright scenes and it is always recommended to turn it off as it is horrible to view.

     

    Both monitors you have selected are TN panels so the contrast ratio will be pretty much similar.

    I would go for the larger screen.

    AOC is a third-tier brand, so I would ignore that. As for the BenQ, it's also a very good monitor. I would personally go with the BenQ due to it having a VESA mount (in case you ever wanted to mount it on an arm).

    Funny you should mention the GL2460HM, I actually owned one for a day and returned it, it's the worst monitor that I've ever used, horrible amounts of ghosting.

    The AOC seems pretty much the same as the Samsung, so I would choose which one you prefer the look of.
