Good choice either ways, because I'm sure the E2400HD will be more than RM1.1k mostly. If its lower, I'll go up to BenQ Malaysia and tell them that I'll rename my name to BenQ

Not sure if I'll pick one up yet. I'll need to test the unit first, so far what BenQ has said on the monitor is all but promising. It has 1:1 pixel mapping, or so they say. The great thing of course is that BenQ's scalers are one of the best on the market today(can even rival LG actually), so thats freaking nice to hear. I just want to see how much is it when it is released.

*EDIT*

A protoype of Dell's S2209W has been spotted!



Don't know if it'll be 1920x1080 res or not, but it most probably should. Since I am taking that this will be the direct competitor to BenQ's E2200HD.

talked to one salesman from megatronik in pandan jaya, he told me for 40 incher samsung, easily 3k nowadays..

maybe you want to have a look around first ..

is it the only differences between BenQ E series and M series is the build in webcam? where M series hv and E series do not.

Yes thats the difference.

Though E series is black color only with no webcam, and M is white only with webcam.
Other technical differences, they are the same. They use the same panel as well.

BTW, theres also the E900HD.

Though I don't know why this hasn't arrive in Malaysia yet as it has been released for well over a month now. The very nice thing about this monitor is that it stays on the tried and true standard of 720p(or 1366x768). Its nice then as all PS3 games has support for this resolution either ways(be it even if the games itself not being native 720p even).

Bad news of course, screen size being only 18.5", no HDMI input(which also means theres no support for 1.3, you can forget about Deep Color). The 5ms response time is also rather saddening, as thats only GTG. Other than that, it has a lousy built-in 2w speakers.....

Its ok for a bed-side monitor, but for gaming.... I don't think its that good. Either way, don't know how much this monitor is selling, if its RM600 or less then it'll be a worthwhile purchase. If not.... E2200HD is the way better option here.

I more prefer the design of M series which is in white color, i like the white color coz my ps3 is also in white color. hehe~
wish i can get one when it is release, but the only matter is the price that make me worry. haiz....

I just heard from BenQ Malaysia that they are choosing now to either bring in the E or M series, not both as opposed to originally planned. Unless something changes, we will only see either E or M on sale then.

I want the E series more as I am very sure the M will definitely cost more because fo the webcam.

y don bring in both???

Most probably because they aren't sure which consumers will buy more. Probably if they bring in only one, then everyone is forced to buy that one only. If theres a big enough demand, they'll bring another one probably.

This isn't confirmed news though. They may just end up bringing limited quantities for both the E and M series and see which sells out faster then concentrate on the one which is more popular.

ben looks like you very familiar with marketing and the product of benq, you working in benq? haha..

Any recommendation on 40" Full HD LCD? My budget is about RM4-5k. Plan to use for PS3 in playing games and watching Blue ray movie.

if one of the series came into malaysia..how about the price? as far as i know..lots of benQ LCD monitor that going through malaysia market is a low quality compare to other brand..hope this one not~

16:9 display BenQ LCD..compare to dell 2409W..which one betteR?

I'm not working in BenQ.


No price figure yet by estimation for E2200HD is RM800-900. E2400HD would be around RM1200-1400.

Since when was BenQ LCD monitors low quality. For the price you are paying, you are getting some of the most worthwhile TN panels. Infact, if you want to compare TN panels, BenQ is arguably the best now.

Don't go comparing them to S-IPS or MVA.

so when is the e2400hd gonna release? i'm dying for a HD screen for my ps3 and xbox 360. playing them on a 576i tv is a sacrilege. my eyes hurt after a while. and it does not do justice to the games. i thought the range is rm1k-rm1.1k? haih. if rm1.2-1.4k, have to wait while leaving infinite undiscovery to collect dust.

lol..

I also waiting for the BenQ to launch the Full HD LCD.

For PS3 !!!

Other than Dell S2409w Full HD... see which one is cheaper!!!

If BenQ price is reasonable, I surely choose BenQ~

but dell S2409w Full HD price will increase since promotion over? and wasn't there a thread where people complain about this monitor? someone should post here when it is finally released in lowyat plaza.

Just get my PS3 yesterday and i test it out with my Sharp 32" HD Ready AQUOS with 100Hz(LC32A53M) with Sharp HDMI cable. When bought this LCD it said 100Hz is good for bluray but bad for TV indeed it really great looking. The color is sharp and i like it so much. Now got 120Hz, think will be much better.

no complaints about my s2409w. 720p and 1080p ps3 games look great.

Dell 24" now offer RM1099 on the net, BenQ new 24" still have to wait & price is about RM1499, So dont wait la....Buy now u can enjoy now d.

yes it is... most important is its warranty policy is unbeatable... i upgrade mine to 5 years only top up RM60

erm, unless u using out phase grahpic card, all grahpic card these days with updated drivers are able to do 1.1 mapping via grahpic card liao... im running lucas arts' monkey island adventure game in 4x3 ratio all fine.. on my 8800gt with driver v178.13
