BenQ has announced a new line of LCD monitors targeting high performance and value-focused home and business users. The new E-series offers 13 models ranging from traditional 4:3 to 16:10 widescreen, and all models feature a 5ms response time and a viewing angle of up to 170-degrees plus BenQ's proprietary Senseye+Photo Technology.
BenQ's Senseye+Photo Technology offers preset modes that provide instant settings for different usage scenarios including standard, dynamic, movie, photo and sRGB mode, explained BenQ. The sRGB mode ensures color accuracy on-screen for precise color editing to reflect accurate colors that are compliant with the industry-standard sRGB color space and ensures color consistency when connecting to sRGB-compliant devices such as digital camera, scanner and printer, added the company.
The E Series not only offers a sleek appearance, but also comes with a speaker bar hung beneath the screen, making it a fit to any desktop or room, according to BenQ.
All models from the E-series offer a 5ms response time, making them suitable for business, home entertainment and other applications that require high display performance, said BenQ. With a fast response time, graphics and fast-moving scenes are rendered on the monitor screen, with no lagging or blurring, the company pointed out.
Furthermore, all models offered in the E-series are Energy Star certified with reduced power consumption to minimize environmental impact.
Availability of the monitors varies from region to region. The E-series will be first available in Asia in late July.
