BenQ Launches V Series Eco LED Widescreen Displays [Full HD 1080p 24-in V2400 Eco and Full HD 1080p 21.5-in V2200]

Just as LCD technology revolutionized the CRT display industry, so too is the application of LED backlighting anticipated to set new benchmarks in IT displays. BenQ announced the official launch today of their 24-in LED widescreen and the world’s first 21.5-in LED widescreen. The first two models, the Full HD 1080p V2400 Eco and Full HD 1080p V2200 Eco, will prelude what BenQ promises to be a broad-spectrum offering of LED displays to be launched by mid-August.

The new V2400 Eco and V2200 Eco employ the latest in monitor LED technology. LED is known for its advantages in overall image quality and energy savings. Both of the new new LED models are engineered with zero light leakage, enabling an ultra-high dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 for intense blacks and extreme whites. Because LED is a stable light source, it likewise provides flicker-free performance ideal for long-term viewing and improved visual comfort. And for on-demand gratification, LED enables instant display when the monitor is powered up. No more waiting. Both new V Series models also feature an Eco mode for 30% less power-consumption with no sacrifice in visual acuity.

The energy-efficient, mercury-free LED panels of the V Series Eco consume approximately 36% less power than traditional CCFL displays. Additionally, the new models are lighter and thinner than CCFL displays of comparable screen size, which saves on packaging and affords more efficient shipping. To show just how green they are, BenQ has gone eco crazy with its packaging. The paper cushioning is composed of 80% recycled material, the carton is also 80% recycled paper material and printing on the carton now uses 70% less ink and is done in 100% soy materials.

BenQ freshens up the design of the V2400/2200 Eco, which clearly resonates the award-winning asymmetrical style of their forerunner, the V2400W. The shell is 28% recycled plastic and to promote recycling, no chemical coating or printing of any kind is used on the shell. Complimenting the style of the V2400/2200 Eco is a multi-function round holder designed into the base of the monitor, offering a handy spot for office supplies.

The V2400 Eco and V2200 Eco are certified TCO 5.0, RoHS, EnergySTAR 4.1, EuP Energy, PC3R, and EPEAT Gold, and will be certified advanced EnergySTAR 5.0 in Nov ‘09. Both monitors have also received the Taiwan Green Mark and the China Environmental Label. The two new displays will be available worldwide starting in China mid-August.
