BenQ Launches 13 LCD Displays

Electronics maker BenQ has launched 13 new LCD displays with multimedia functions and ambient LED lighting.

Troubled Taiwanese electronics maker BenQ has announced 13 new LCD monitors in sizes ranging from 17 to 22 inches, all featuring 5 ms response times, 300 nits of brightness, integrated multimedia functions, and ambient LED illumination.

The new E Series displays offer display rations ranging from 16:10 widscreen aspects to traditional 4:3; the displays also feature BenQ’s Senseye+Photo technology to offer useful presets that provide the best image quality for different situations: modes include Standard, Dynamic, Movie, Photo, and an sRGB mode for heightened color accuracy. All but three units offer 1 Watt speakers hanging beneath the display, and are Energy Star certified. Nearly all the E Series displays support both D-sub and DVD-D input.

The real questions on these displays are pricing and availability. BenQ says it will introduce the monitors in the Asian market in late July (hey, isn’t it August already?) with variable availability in other regions; the company released no information on pricing.
