BenQ New Lcd

"Kuala Lumpur, September 25- BenQ launched its latest Full HD 16:9 range of LCD monitors featuring 100% mapping to 1080p content, on Wednesday.

The new models are spread across BenQ’s E and M Series LCD displays- E2400HDand the M2200HD, also including the world’s first 21.5 inch Full E2200 HD LCD monitor. The E2400 stands at 24 inches, meanwhile the M2200HD comes in at 21.5 inches.

BenQ will cater to the visual fanatics with their new 16:9 wide screens ensuring better visuals than those brought on by traditional 16:10 displays. Images are now pushed to the screen’s limits, instead of the black bars that stretch across conventional screens.

Users can also expect HDMI and DVI-D to deliver easy connection to gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and set-top boxes. Headphone jacks, D-Sub and Senseye+photo Human Vision Technology are designed to work with both the E and M series LCDs.

Supported by 1080p HDMI interface and a 5Gbps digital transit, the HD LCD monitors provide users with connectivity to digital multimedia services such as HD DVD players and the latest gaming consoles like Xbox 360 and PS3.

The launch also saw the launch of the T2200HD 21.5 inch Full HD LCD, energy-saving E900HD and G900HD. BenQ even threw in a couple of Joybooks-the S42 and S33 laptops.

BenQ 16:9 1080p full HD LCD displays are available now and prices range from RM 689 to RM 1,500. "


Recently stumble upon this while going through a mobile phone site, good for budget gamers?
FULL HD?

Super eyes?
Full HD for 20plus inches?

mana tau, suka hati BenQ.lol

If you sit at the recommended distance, you wouldn't need super eyes to see the differences

still duno y they state :

BenQ 16:9 1080p full HD LCD displays are available now and prices range from RM 689 to RM 1,500.

RM 689 how many inches?

RM689 is the E2200HD, so its 21.5" to specifically. Though I would expect most retailers to sell it around RM700+ or so. M2200HD on the other hand will be around RM900 however.

RM1500 is basically the M2400HD, not sure about the E2400HD itself but it should be in around the region of RM1300-1400.

Do note that the E900HD is not a full HD display, rather it is only 720p. Or more specifically, 1366x768. Doesn't have HDMI input as well as lower response times.

The BenQ representative has just spoken









Kidding

T2200HD is nice for me.. the wideness really meet my demands now.

can't wait for E2400HD. but is it really RM1300-1400? i thought RM1000-1100 like Dell newly released 24incher?

Where got representative....


Haven't got my hands on E2200HD yet, they aren't shipped to suppliers. Lepas Raya baru ship.


How much the price will be is up to the retailers. My estimates and from an insider source says that its around that region of RM1300+ - RM1400 or so, of course I hope its less. The E2400HD trounces the Dell S2409W in every way, uses a more updated TN panel, has much better response times, theres audio output and theres even a set of small speakers.

So you'd expect a price premium on the E2400HD, although before anything reaches to retailers I'll refrain from saying an exact price just yet.

One question, wheres your store?

i hope e2400hd will perform well. wanna buy 1..hehe

same here my friend, same here =P

u buy 1st, then let me know...-__-

lol..can..u sponsor k

Well.... It should perform well.

Just take a history look on the last few 24" LCDs BenQ produced. The very first on their 24" line was the FP241W, it was back then one of the best 24" LCDs around both in price and quality. Not to mention it was also the first 24" monitor for consumers to have every input available. Although it did suffer a little when it comes to gaming, the FP241VW fixed all that up and again another superb 24" LCD.

After that consumers were complaining on the price of the FP241VW, so BenQ came up with their super-cheap(atleast at its time) G2400W for mainstream users. Again it did not dissapoint at all considering the price you are paying.

While the V2400W didn't break new boundaries as much as its predecessors did, it was also just released a few months ago and it is indeed one of the sleekest looking LCDs around. The price has dropped significantly since its launch price of RM1799 to now only RM1469, can even get below RM1450 if you bargain abit.

So since BenQ hasn't F'd up a single 24" LCD monitor release yet, I'd expect the E/M 2400HD to just be equally as good at its own rights.

What about the E2200HD? Shi-fu Ben..

i think so... so far i heard a lot of good review on fp241vw and g2400w. new e2400hd look solid. rm1500 is a good buy.. can't wait

It goes more like, if the E/M 2400HD does well the E/M 2200HD will too. They have equally the same specs, just with a different size and bigger pixel pitch.

G900W did well, so did G2200W and G2400W followed suit too. This isn't the BenQ from 10 years ago where half their CRT lines were faulty, their break-in into the LCD market with their first 15" LCD monitor was also rather poor. Its all changed now, BenQ is one of the top LCD monitor manufacturer in the world today. Atleast they don't have to rely onto a third-party panel or need to resort to buying panels from other companies like NEC or Samsung.

Oooo... E2400HD for RM1,199.

http://www.offerstation.com/details.php?i=22086.

yatta. hopefully can find for lower price in viewnet at lowyat plaza. can't wait already.

Any idea what kind of cable it comes with? DVI or HDMI

i hope E2200HD will perform well and worth value buying..hehe..now can't play so much during raya..my family always want to watch TV..hehe..

buying E2200HD with the lower price fullHD will be a great ways to play my PS3..when this will be stock in malaysia? hehe..can't wait~

i'm using G2400W and it's playing 1080p for my ps3. so whats will be the difference wit these new monitor?

You aren't playing on native 1080p. The native res of the G2400W is 1920x1200, althought it doesn't matter much to you either way because you have 1:1 pixel mapping and I assume you can either tolerate "black bars" or slightly stretched images.

BTW, a small update.

I went to Viewnet today, asked my friend who works there when they will have the E2400HD. Unfortunately, it isn't known yet. The official BenQ supplier has not brought in any of the E/M models. So its really hard to say when it'll be on sale on retailers. While I don't expect the stock to be as limited as the V2400W since these are mainstream products, can't say that it'll come in huge quantities either.

Went there yesterday, some said maybe next month? lol

The G2400W is a 16:10 (1920x1200 resolution) while the new ones are following HDTV standard at 16:9 (1920x1080 resolution). Not much difference because your monitor will compensate and display some black bars when watching a HD video. However, the panel performance is different. For example, these panels are capable for a native contrast ratio at 1000:1 and they are equipped with compensators where they can achieve a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1. The G2400W don't have any. Response time is at 2ms GTG (accelerated) and the color gamut is wider.

i asked them to special order for me. they'll get back to me if they can order for me. if not have to wait until november when they open a new lot/shop just for lcd monitor showroom. at 3rd floor if not mistaken.

so what does that 10k:1 contrast ratio do for the picture quality?

btw g2400w has no stretches, man if they do i wont get one of those, and the black bars bottom and top of the screen on the G2400W are like about half an inch, not so noticeable, but anyways; meaning to say theses new models wont have the black bars as well?

update me if retailer are selling those 24"..
huhuhu

yup..16:9 ratio LCD monitor..wont have any black bar at all when u play ps3 or 360...playing a HD movie also would be great..
that's y some of the gamers more satisfy to find a 16:9 monitor such as dell s2409w n the latest in this BenQ E/M model..with fullHD..

Latest update from BenQ Malaysia Website !!!

They've added Full HD (1920x1080) models range for it at


22" T2200HD

22" M2200HD

24" M2400HD



Hopefully can get to the local store soon...

wow..juz they add it today i think..yesterday i went there..and found nothing yet on the new model..yup..hope to hear all the model soon in local store..

E2200hd also got in the list~ yeaa! finally arrives in Malaysia~

Just went to check the measurements for E2200 and t2200 from the sites. Anyone can explain how come
the measurements seem kinda awkward (well to me)?

E2200 = 522.8x407.8x186.8 (mm)
T2200 = 386.7x516.4x211.6 (mm)

As stated on the site, the frames cause the difference in measurements? but how com the T2200 is so much difference in height?
Measurements are in height x width x dimension right?

I still think Dell had the best after sales or warranty. Who can beat one to one exchange for 5 years n they come to yr doorstep

Any of these new Benq LCDs will support Wii gaming?

^all monitor will support wii. u just need to find a proper cable. probably u need 3rd party vga cable like vdigi...

if u want plug n play monitor, u need a monitor with component/composite input like asus pg221, etc

p/s:.all benq lcds that we discuss in here doesn't come with component/composite/s-video input.

thanks!!!

E24 and M24 only the color is different or what?

---

Added on October 14, 2008, 2:53 pmbro.. u r not playing in the real 1080p. your source only upscale to make it 1080p bcoz your previous model isnt fullHD. while this new lcd its with fullHD meaning its originally 1080p not to purposely upscale it to 1080p. 10k dynamic contrast do very big difference and also with the 2GTG its really for gaming one. else if your eyes is super duper sensitive u still can sense theres blur maybe?

@law1777, beside color, M2400HD got integrated 2 megapixel webcam.

owhh.. thanks bro. i should have noticed it. and of course the black monitor looks better..

The thing with BenQ is that if u call up BenQ HQ, they don't deal with end users....they will direct u to their distributors. They wouldn't even be bother to answer your queries on models, pricing availability.

Yet, for any new product launches, they put their company name as the one to contact.....

I have nothing against their products, just their customer (or lack of) service!!

e2400hd already in town. my local store inform me that they can get me this lcd for price tag rm1199. w00t.

i want i want..where can get it?

Can ask how much is T2200HD & E2200HD cost...

Really interested!

wow.. sounds like it's a good deal of getting either E2200HD or E2400HD.. but i think getting a 21inch already enuff for a small room la~ lol.

so, which shop selling e2400hd??

can i noe the price for e2200HD? want2!

Are these LCD's available yet in stores? Anyone knows where i can view them? Wanna change my Sammy 22" to these babies.

Hi, any idea where i can get the vdigi cable??
I'm currently using a vga box which output some blur and bad quality image, I live in KL area...thx in advanced..

May I know where you bought it?

Hi all....again....anyone have any idea where can I get the vdigi cable in malaysia??..

thanks in advance...

wow fullhd 24' only rm1150++ why why why so cheap one!! last time hp w2408h was like rm1600++.... grrrrrrrrrrrr

Well technology is like that...today you buy...tomorrow the price drop hahaha

The major difference between E and M models is the inclusion of webcam only. M has the webcam. I read the quick start guide that stated the monitor has usb ports which acts as a hub but my E model does not have it which means M model has usb ports.

Any news on the price of E2200HD? Interested in buying 1 if the price around RM700-RM800

yup2..waiting for the E2200HD to drop from UFO to Malaysia..hehe..

arrrr wanna sell off my w2408h to get E24!!!!!

from the spec, looks like the E2200 series got built in speaker (2 x1W)..
lets say I want to connect the ps3/xbox360 using HDMI only, is there like an output from the lcd mionitor that can connect to other speakers?

oh, just noticed that it also have Audio In/ and Headphone jack

Menu > Picture > Sharpness

Make sure you are in standard mode, if you use any of the pre-set modes, you cannot adjust the settings of the LCD.

Do tell me how 720p content looks on the monitor though.

---

Added on November 1, 2008, 6:09 pmTheres audio out from the LCD.

Frankly speaking though.... I'm rather impressed by those puny 2x1w speakers, sure they aren't good enough for gaming, movies or music at all. But it actually isn't bad in a way, the "fake" bass it produces is rather good and theres no notice of mono sounds.

720p content such as Heavenly Sword and GOW2 looks gorgeous. PS3 doesn't upscale 720p content if i'm not mistaken but it still looks fantastic. Xbox 360 upscales everything. Xbox 360 games got jaggies unlike PS3 but it's still bearable. upscaled dvd movies on xbox 360 look the worst. i don't dare to try dvd playback on PS3. however SD anime playback from PS3 looks good. PS3 works best with E2400HD.

PS3 never upscales games because it lacks a scaler chip.

What upscales the game is the monitor. Which going by what you say, it means the E2400HD has another legendary scaler from BenQ again!

I took a look and a few small tests yesterday in Viewnet with the E2400HD. Sadly, couldn't do much other than the usual color and geometry tests. Of course it passes them with flying colors in my eyes, wish I could have brought a PS3 to test it out with it.

Now pondering if I should hit up RM1.2k to get it yet or not....

Still waiting for the E2200HD, Viewnet is telling me its going to be on sale for RM800 only.....

SSJBen really ar 800++ for a E2200HD.....@_@...

Thats their estimated price point, so I hope it is. A 22" monitor with full HD res at RM800+ is quite a steal.

if that's the case maybe I'll sell my 2253BW and get that instead

me also wanna sell my 226BW monitor
and get M2200HD, lowyat got sale already??

A rather technical review of the E2200HD and E2400HD from none other than the great Anantech: http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=3449

Do note that in the review, the E2400HD that Anand got is a pre-release model. In Malaysia here, you don't have to worry as we are getting the latest batch, rev01.

Did someone said BenQ Full HD lcd's support 1:1 mapping?

I know this is a console section but just curious how it's like playing PC games. Does it stretch? FOV? Seeing most Widescreen Monitors with aspect ratio of 16:10, will the 16:9 cause any problems. Plan to get the E2400HD for both XBox 360 gaming and pc gaming.

Edit: Also, does the PS2 work for this monitor?

This post has been edited by used2bcow: Nov 5 2008, 06:56 PM

I may be a noob in HDTV's, but I think most HDTV/LCDs are 16:9.

FOV, and stretching is not common because it's a norm for next-gen gaming consoles now. Eventho' I own a Wii, tho you're limited to 480p, I do believe that wide-screen gaming IS next-gen in today's gaming.

But since you're asking about PC, mostly(almost all) PC games allows you to adjust your own resolutions, so I don't think stretching/FOV will occur.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Haha, actually the more common PC widescreen LCD monitors are mostly 16:10 aspect ratio. It is only recently that 16:9 are being pushed. That is the reason why I'm asking if image would be distorted in anyway since most PC games probably have support for the 16:10 aspect ratio. It is true that all LCD TVs are 16:9.

Yeap, I did.

Thats exactly what the rep from BenQ told me.

when it will available?

Went to Low Yat today, Star Tec selling the E2200HD at RM719 only!!

I bought it at startec at 699 actually

just bought at startec 2400hd 11500
