EUROPE, April 17 2008 – At the end of April, BenQ is presenting the V2400W 24-inch widescreen LCD. BenQ’s V series is aimed at home users who want nothing less than state-of-the-art technology and the very best display design. The BenQ V2400W boasts a lightning response time for its size of just 2 ms. This model also features an impressive WUXGA resolution, the new BenQ Senseye®+Photo technology and a dynamic contrast of 4,000:1. The design model has already received the iF Design Award 2008 and the Red Dot Design Award 2008. The recommended retail price is Euro 449 incl. VAT.

Today, the Internet, video telephony or games transform a display into much more than just a working tool. A TFT is increasingly being seen as an eye-catching design and lifestyle object that has to integrate into the living space. By the same token, a monitor has to be attractive to look at – even when switched off. BenQ meets this requirement by breaking through traditional thinking about monitor symmetry and presenting the V2400W as a unique, asymmetrical design monitor: the base stand is on the right and the operating elements on the frame on the left. The 24-inch monitor therefore adopts an extraordinary and elegant stance. In addition, this model cuts an extremely slim figure, measuring an approx. mere 6 cm at its thickest point.

Since, for home users, it is becoming increasingly important for TFTs to have as many inputs as possible, the design model features DVI and D-sub ports, as well as an HDMI™ interface. This opens up current application possibilities for the user in the high-definition segment, such as video editing, Blu-ray™ playback and the connection of games consoles.

Thanks to the widescreen format and the HDMI™ interface, the V2400W is highly suitable as second monitor for connecting games consoles, hard-disc recorders or notebooks to allow a larger image and working area for stationary work.
