BenQ have announced the release of the world’s first Vertical Alignment (VA) LED monitors – The EW and VW series. The lineup of the 16:9 Full HD VA-panel LED monitors includes: EW2420 (24”); VW2420(H) (24”) and VW2220(H) (21.5”). With a wider viewing angle at 178º/178º, True 3,000:1 Native Contrast Ratio and BenQ’s proprietary Senseye® Human Vision Technology all on a true 8-bit panel, these VA LED monitors significantly enhances the viewing pleasure for all.

VA LED-based panels has better color reproduction, an ultra high contrast ratio, display blacks more accurately because of its capability to produce true black with zero bright dot (ZBD) and able to minimize light leakage. To display blacks more accurately means these VA LED-based panels have better contrast and detail in dark-coloured movie scenes. VA panels are also known to have a wider viewing angle (178º/178º) compared to a regular Twisted Nematic (TN) panel before notable brightness and colour shifts, so your monitor can be shared across the room with more people, with more angles, more fun.

The VW/EW Series is further enhanced by BenQ’s proprietary Senseye® Human Vision Technology, producing fuller, richer, clearer and more detailed images, even for the darkest scenes. Senseye 3’s six preset modes give users the luxury of one-touch optimization for the most popular applications: Game, Movie, sRGB, Standard, Photo, and Eco modes. Today’s on-demand consumer will likewise appreciate the VW/EW Series’ ability to instantly display content when powered up, another benefit of LED over CCFL technology. Moreover, BenQ’s sRGB colour consistency on a true 8-bit panel (16.7M colour panel) allows users to have a convenient way to get consistent colours. Be confident that the colours shown on screen are the colours to be printed.

The EW series comes equipped with DVI-D; HDMI x2; D-Sub; USB x4; Line-in; headphone jack and 1.5W x2 audio speakers – offering diverse connectivity options consumers demand.
