BenQ Claims World’s Thinnest 24-inch LCD

BenQ Claims World

Taiwan’s BenQ has announced its V2004W 24-inch LCD display, which the company is not only claiming is the world’s thinnest display in its size range (measuring just 2.4 inches at its thickest) but establishes computer hardware as "the newest art form" with its "unexpected" asymmetry and airplane-inspired curves.

"The V2400W is inspired by the B2 stealth bomber, evoking a sense of mystery, awe and the elite" said BenQ Lifestyle Design Center’s Manfred Wang, in a statement. "In addition, the display’s asymmetry exemplifies our new design philosophy. One is captivated by its suspended energy, expecting the screen to tilt. But it stands still, as if time were frozen and the movement paused."

AMA Rejects Video Game Addiction

AMA Rejects Video Game Addiction

At its annual meeting in Chicago, the American Medical Association rejected a proposal to formalize video game addiction as a mental disorder in the American Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV) used by the American Psychiatric Association. The move has been generally welcomed by the gaming industry and community, although few would deny that a handful of players do become obsessively involved in video games and may benefit from intervention or professional help to bring better balance to their lives. However, Dr. Stuart Gitlow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine noted, “There is nothing here to suggest that this is a complex physiological disease state akin to alcoholism or other substance abuse disorders, and it doesn’t get to have the word addiction attached to it.”

BenQ Brings Out Its 24-inch HDMI LCD

BenQ Brings Out Its 24-inch HDMI LCD

Although was announced for Asian and European markets in mid-2006, electronics maker BenQ is bringing its 24-inch FP241W widescreen LCD monitor to North American consumers through Ingram Micro this month—and high-resolution widescreen display offers features, specs, and a price tag that should attract some interest.

The FP241W offers a 24-inch WUXGA (1,920 by 1,200 pixel) resolution, meaning it’s ready to support high-definition video all the way up to 1080p—and an HDMI input with High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for viewing copy-protected digital media. The unit also sports a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, a grey-to-grey 6 ms response time, 178° viewing angle, and BenQ’s Pivot Pro software, so the monitor can be used in widescreen or portrait modes (or flipped on the fly). In addition to HDMI input, the FP214W accepts component, composite, S-video, DVI-D, and D-sub input; three USB ports (two on the right, one up top) enable easy connection of peripheral devices.
