 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA– Just as LCD technology revolutionized the CRT display industry, the application of LED backlighting is anticipated to set new benchmarks in IT displays too. BenQ, a top global display provider in both CE and IT industries, leads the charge in the mounting LED display revolution, starting with the official launch today of their new V Series Eco 24” V2400 Eco (16:9) LED Full HD and the world’s first 21.5” V2200 Eco (16:9) LED Full HD, as well as G Series 18.5” G922HDL (16:9), which is the world’s first LED display in the 18.5” W segment.
Compelling price points, solid performance, economical screen sizes, and boasting the lowest power consumption rating in their respective size categories, the new models appeal to cost- and eco-conscious corporate users who appreciate the V Series Eco and G Series’ mercury-free, energy-efficient engineering. These models will prelude what BenQ promises to be a broad-spectrum offering of LED displays.
Mr Lee Kim Huat, Managing Director of BenQ Singapore Pte Ltd acclaimed that, “LED monitors will set another revolutionary trend and BenQ is proud to be the leading brand to bring this trend into Malaysia.” He continues that BenQ will introduce more comprehensive LED displays now through 1Q 2010 and aim to keep it affordable so that all Malaysians can experience in digital lifestyle.
V Series Eco and G Series LED: The High-Performance, Eco-Friendly Choice
The new V Series Eco and G Series employ the latest in monitor display lighting, namely LED (light-emitting diode) technology, for advantages that are seen in exquisite visuals on the screen, and in eco-friendly and pocketbook-friendly benefits. Most notably, when it comes to display performance, the new LED series are superbly engineered with zero light leakage, enabling an ultra-high dynamic contrast ratio of 5 million:1 for intense blacks and extreme whites. This unparalleled benefit unique to LED technology reveals never-before-noticed fine details and near-infinite color variations while BenQ’s Senseye™ 3 Human Vision Technology further amplifies image richness, clarity, and depth…even in the darkest scenes.
The G Series increases office productivity by enabling simultaneous viewing of multiple applications on the large widescreen format: a 16:9 aspect ratio on the G922HDL (1366x768 WXGA resolution) is perfect for undistorted viewing of HDTV and HD movies.
Because LED is a stable light source, it likewise provides flicker-free performance ideal for long-term viewing and improved visual comfort. Hence, the G Series is ideal for long-term viewing (such as at the office). And for on-demand gratification, LED enables instant display when the monitor is powered up. Both V Series Eco models and G Series models also feature “Eco” mode for 30% less power-consumption without compromising visual enjoyment.
“LED is the next big thing in display technology, enabling never-before-possible levels in DCR for amazing visuals. Plus, there are the undeniable ecological benefits that are even more relevant,” said Peter Chen, General Manager of BenQ Technology Product Center.
Designed with Earth in Mind
The V Series Eco and G Series monitors keep BenQ’s promise of “Lookin’ Great” not only when it comes to visual splendor, but also to energy conservation and environmental sustainability.
The energy-efficient, mercury-free LED panels of the V Series Eco and G Series consume approximately 36% less power than traditional CCFL displays. Additionally, the new V Series Eco models are lighter (-14.6%) and thinner (-21.2%) than CCFL displays of comparable screen size, which saves on packaging (+56%) and affords more efficient shipping. LED technology also enables the G Series to use substantially less energy (approximately 43% in G922HDL) than CCFL displays of the same screen size. In fact, at 11W (G922HDL) in Eco mode, the G Series leads the industry with the lowest power demands in their respective size categories – a big ecological and economical plus for businesses seeking to lower costs.
Packaging itself was given an eco-friendly makeover: paper cushioning, composed of 80% recycled paper material, replaces Styrofoam; the carton is also 80% recycled paper material; and printing on the carton now uses 70% less ink and is done in 100% soy ink. Further cutting back on waste, the Quick Startup Guide is now cleverly printed on the outside of the carton, instead of making eliminating the need for a separate brochure. BenQ has also eliminated hard-to-decompose plastic bags from accessory packaging. Plus, BenQ eliminated bulky printed manuals and improved to put manual online.
A Refreshing New Look
BenQ freshens up the design of the V2400/2200 Eco, which clearly resonates the award-winning asymmetrical style of their forerunner, the V2400W, with a snow white ID that symbolizes purity in construction and calls to mind the purity of Nature. The shell is 28% recycled plastic, held to the highest standards set forth by EPEAT (a program of the Green Electronics Council) and PC3R (an organization that promotes reuse, reduction, and recycling of PCs and PC displays). To promote recycling, no chemical coating or printing of any kind taints the shell’s pristine whiteness. Instead, the BenQ logo and button markings are engraved, making the unit more recycle-friendly. Complimenting the avant-garde style of the V2400/2200 Eco is a cool multi-function round holder designed into the base of the monitor, offering a handy spot for knickknacks, an optional business card holder, or even serving as a mini plant pot.
The V2400 Eco and V2200 Eco are certified TCO 5.0, RoHS, EnergySTAR 4.1, EuP Energy, PC3R, and EPEAT Gold, and will be certified advanced EnergySTAR 5.0 in Nov ‘09. Both monitors have also received the Taiwan Green Mark and the China Environmental Label. While, the G Series display is certified TCO 5.0, RoHS, EnergySTAR 4.1, EuP, and will be certified advanced EnergySTAR 5.0 in Nov ’09; and has received the China Energy Label Level 1 recognition.
The BenQ G922HDL, V2200 Eco and V2400 Eco retail at RM449.00, RM699.00 and RM959.00 respectively. |
