I like playing competitive fps shooters and am torn on what monitor I should get for my ps4.

I know of the benq rl2455hm monitor which is the most popular one.
The Asus vx238h specs are basically the same. Idk, the monitor just needs to have a 1ms response time and low input lag.

Between 23 to 27 inches is my preferred screen size.

Benq XL2411Z has the lowest input lag and response time according to a few reviews.  Plus it has a feature called ULMB which strobes the backlight on and off at 60Hz (beware it flickers) to give CRT like motion clarity.  
 
That RL2455HM also seems like a great choice.  The Benq would be better served as a computer monitor to take advantage of the 144Hz refresh rate but it is my go to console monitor as well.
 
Good luck!

BENQ standalone dominates the gaming platform, You should really give that a go.

Cool I will certainly look into buying a benq monitor.

Thanks.

what are the optimal color settings for the xl2411z? I'm going to get this monitor next weekend.

here is a comprehensive list of the best monitors for gaming including 144hz monitors , 4k, ultrawide, gsync and more. I recently ordered the Asus vg28qe 144hz monitor which i think is one of the best monitors for the money.

I'd definitely go with the BenQ RL2755HM. It is probably the highest recommended console gaming monitor among review sites.
 
But if you're like me and you like to switch back and forth between console and PC---or if you want to have the option to jump into PC later---might be worth looking into a higher refresh rate.

I use Dell UltraSharp, but I don't game competitively.  With that said, I would get the BenQ.

Hey, sorry I missed this.  I use tftcentral as a great monitor review resource.  They provide a comprehensive review which shows max contrast, brightness, default and calibrated color accuracy, and other useful things like input lag and back light bleed.  
 
Their settings are a great start but remember that each monitor's panel will be slightly different so the same settings won't yield the exact same results.  Start with their settings and then tweak them if you want.  
 
I forgot they don't have this exact monitor but I used these settings and they look just as good as my calibrated monitor.

What GPU do you think would pair best with that monitor?

1070 probably the best one for high fps 1080p gaming.

I was just about to post what @headphonesonly posted.  1070 i s a great card for getting high frames in pretty much every game.  I'm using a GTX 980 Ti which serves me well but I'll be upgrading to the 1080 Ti when that comes out next year.
