BenQ Launches 13 LCD Displays

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.

Samsung’s MacBook alternative is up to $700 off today

The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro against a textured grey backdrop.

If you like the idea of the MacBook Air but don't own any other Apple products or don't want to be in the Apple ecosystem, then we're happy to inform you that there are some great alternatives. One example is the Galaxy Book4, which is equally thin and light and can still pack a punch when it comes to processing power. Even better, you can get it for much cheaper than the usual $900 since you get a direct $200 discount that brings it down to $700, plus you can get up to $508 of trade-in credit. So, you could potentially get it for as low as $192, assuming you get the best trade-in value.

Why you should buy the Galaxy Book4
At just 0.61-inch of thickness, the Galaxy Book4 comes pretty close to the thin size of the MacBook Air, so it's a very portable device, which is impressive since it comes with a larger 15.6-inch screen. Granted, the screen runs at an FHD resolution, which is a bit lower than the MacBook Air, but at that screen size, the difference isn't that big. Luckily, the keyboard is great to type on, and you can expect up to 15 hours of battery life, which is pretty good too.

The Windows transition to Arm has pushed forward at an impressive clip, with many of the most significant apps having built Arm64 versions. But there's been one major holdout, even up until Microsoft's recent Copilot+ announcement.
