BenQ’s New LED Monitors: V2400 and V2200

BenQ’s New LED Monitors: V2400 and V2200

By: Jamie Pert | September 16, 2009 | 3 Comments

BenQ have recently launched two new widescreen LED monitors, one of the new monitors is the V2400 Eco and the other is the V2200 Eco, the V2400 has a 24 inch diagonal and the V2200 has a 21.5 inch diagonal.

The new LED monitors both offer zero light leakage, which helps them boast a impressive 5 million:1 contrast ratio, obviously as the screen doesn’t require a back-light blacks are very dark and whites are very bright, also as the monitor does not require a back-light the power consumption is lower than comparable monitors (approximately 36% less than traditional CCFL displays).

No US price is currently known for the monitors, however in India the V2400 Eco is selling for Rs. 18,999 and the V2200 is selling for Rs. 14,999, I done a quick currency conversion and this equates to around 393.659 USD for the V2400 and approximately 310.7793 USD, obviously don’t take this conversion to seriously, check out TechTree for more details.

    The BenQ V2400 Eco is a solid monitor that just can’t compare with the best there is in price and performance.

    These are NOT LED monitors!  These are LCD monitors with an LED backlight instead of CFL.

    “The new LED monitors both offer zero light leakage, which helps them boast a impressive 5 million:1 contrast ratio, obviously as the screen doesn’t require a back-light blacks are very dark and whites are very bright, also as the monitor does not require a back-light the power consumption is lower than comparable monitors (approximately 36% less than traditional CCFL displays).”

    So many things wrong with that statement.  First of all, the contrast ratio is nowhere NEAR 5mil:1, that is the DYNAMIC contrast ratio, which is a software post-processing technique that isn’t even enabled until you turn it on.

    Secondly, the screen DOES require a backlight, it uses an LED backlight.  Because of this, the blacks are NOT very dark.  Sure, if you’re watching a movie during the day you won’t notice, but at night time, with all the lights out, even with nothing but black on the screen, it still produces a little bit of light.

    Finally, while it is true that the power consumption of this monitor is lower, that is because the backlight is LED.  The power consumption is so low that the monitor never even gets warm, even with its internal power transformer.

    Despite how horribly wrong this review is, I own a V2200 and it is an excellent monitor.  It is one of the few displays that is totally matte instead of glossy, so that you have virtually no glare in a very sunny environment.    The labels for the buttons on the side of the monitor are almost invisible, making the menu system very confusing to navigate.  Occasionally this monitor will emit a quiet buzzing noise when viewing websites with a large amount of horizontal lines. 

    Other than that, its an excellent monitor.
