EUROPE, April 21, 2008 – BenQ announced today the release of their new T Series widescreen LCD monitors – the 26” T261W (WUXGA) and 15” T52WA (WXGA).

Complementing Dynamic Contrast is a blur-defying 5ms response time for smooth, artifact-free video and gaming enjoyment.

In addition, busy professional will appreciate the T261W. Users can see more and do more thanks to the super-sized 26” wide view, which easily accommodates two letter-size pages side-by-side at 100% – a huge productivity plus for Excel, Word and desktop publishing.

And with notebook PCs forecasted to account for 50% of the PC market by 2009^, the T261W is the perfect future-proof notebook companion for home and office. A brilliant 450 nits further expands the T261W’s multi-functionality by enabling optimal viewing in all lighting environments from commercial to home to office.

The T261W also has high-definition digital enjoyment fully mastered. With a WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution, the sleek T261W meets the “1080p Full HD” spec for superior image quality. Plus, HDMI – the latest future-proof connection – and DVI-D (both with HDCP), make connecting to and optimally displaying HD sources fast, easy and hassle-free. Integrated speakers enrich visual pleasure with HD audio, while a high-gloss svelte design reflects the sophistication and performance of this flagship model.
