BenQ Intros Four New Gaming Monitors

By Geoff Duncan December 6, 2007

Taiwan’s BenQ has announced four new LCD monitors aimed at gamers, with three widescreen models sized at 19 inches (the X900W), 20 inches (the X2000W), and 22 inches (the X2200W), along with the traditionally-proportioned 19-inch X900.

The two 19-inch models sport DVI-D and D-sub inputs, while the 20- and 22-inch units add HDMI inputs. All four monitors sport fast 2ms grey-to-grey response times, 160° viewing angles, HDCP support, and respectable contrast ratios and brightness. The systems all sport BenQ’s Senseye display mode technology to optimize the display for different types of output (including two modes for racing and action games). The X2200W also features BenQ’s PerfectMotion technology to offer an 8 ms Motion Picture Response Time; the company claims other LCD panels typically offer a 20ms Motion Picture Response Time.

The new monitors should be available in December, but the catch will be market regions: BenQ plans to send the X900W to the U.S. and China in December, but the X900 is destined only for selected European countries, and the X2000W and X2200 are headed for Europe and the Asia Pacific region. The company did not announce any pricing information.

Samsung’s new Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor is beautiful, but it has a fatal flaw

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (2023) playing a racing simulator.

At CES 2023, I had a chance to look at Samsung's upcoming Odyssey Neo G9. It's a monster gaming monitor, and you don't need to look further than the spec sheet to see that. Dual 4K resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 32:9 aspect ratio with a 57-inch screen? There's a lot to love.

And after seeing it, I was floored by the quality. It's an insane gaming monitor that looks fantastic, and I can't wait to use one for an extended period of time. But there's a big problem with the new Odyssey Neo G9, and it could be dead on arrival.
