Australia, December 2010: BenQ Australia are pleased to announce that the acclaimed BL series of 24\u201d, 22\u201d and 19\u201d LED monitors will be available in Australia this month.<\/p>\n
Launched globally only a couple of months ago, Australia is one of the company\u2019s first markets to offer the BL2400PT monitor \u2013 a stylish 24\u201d screen featuring a \u2018world-first\u2019 Full HD, LED VA-panel for a wider viewing angle (178\u00b0\/ 178\u00b0) and colour reproduction second to none.<\/p>\n
VA, or Vertical Alignment Panels display blacks more accurately because of their capability to produce true black with zero bright dot (ZBD) minimising light leakage. They offer an ultra-high contrast ratio and also provide a wider viewing angle compared to regular Twisted Nematic (TN) panels, so the monitor can be shared across the room with more people.<\/p>\n
A dominant player in the design and manufacture of quality digital monitors, BenQ are leaders in LED technology, and were the first to market with new LED based VA-panel technology, which not only offers clarity and definition second to none, but also draws significantly less power making LED panels an eco-friendly choice.<\/p>\n
Ergonomics feature heavily in the appeal of the new BL LED monitors from BenQ, with the larger 24\u201d and 22\u201d models offering an ultra flexible height adjustable stand to tailor height, tilt, pivot, stroke and swivel adjustment to align perfectly with the individual user.<\/p>\n
Comfort is of ultimate importance in the BL Series range with additional features such as an automatic \u2018eye protect\u2019 sensor fitted to detect and adjust brightness on the screen for the ultimate level of clarity to effectively reduce eye fatigue.<\/p>\n
Taking this OH&S stance a step further is the new BenQ Smart Reminder System. Based on the expert-recommended 20\/20\/20 Rule \u2013 that is, after twenty minutes of looking at a computer screen the user should look to a spot twenty feet away and blink twenty times to regain focus, the BL series of LED monitors actually signal rest times with a message that appears on screen \u2013 \u2018your eyes deserve a well timed rest\u2019 \u2013 at preset intervals of 20, 40, 60 or 80 minutes. This feature was determined as appropriate with the proven statistic that people blink 5-10 times less per minute than what the eye needs while staring at a computer screen.<\/p>\n
Considering more than just the health of the person using the monitor, BenQ also keeps the environment front of mind in their BL series design with all models featuring a built-in \u2018eco sensor\u2019 to automatically switch the monitor into eco mode when the user steps away from their desk. This feature was created in response to research that shows on average, office workers spend around 20% of their working time away from their computer.<\/p>\n
LED backlit technology is significantly more energy efficient then conventional LCD display technology, with estimated power savings of up to 33% per year, so they cost less to run.<\/p>\n
Cost efficient and all-round eco-friendly \u2013 the BL Series monitor frames utilise zero mercury in their manufacture, are coating-free and are 100% recyclable at end of life. In fact, recycled plastic accounts for around 65% of the actual monitor\u2019s frame across the range. All materials used for packaging are EPS-free, with all PVC or foamed plastics replaced with recyclable paper cushion. Around 80% of the BL series packaging is recycled paper for added \u2018green\u2019 measure.<\/p>\n
The 24\u2019 BL2400PT VA Panel monitor offers 16:9 aspect ratio and a 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, while the 22\u201d BL2201PT is equipped with a 16:10 aspect and 1000:1 contrast ratio.<\/p>\n
Said BenQ Australia\u2019s General Manager, Chee F. Chung, \u201cBenQ are a global leader in LED monitor visual display and were actually one of the top three brands in Europe in 2009. Introducing the new VA Panel BL2400PT 24\u201d and it\u2019s cousins, the BL2201PT 22\u201dand BL902TM 19\u201d monitors to Australia will go a long way to securing a top-ranking position for BenQ\u2019s LED monitor business in this country,\u201d said Chung, \u201cand will define our reputation as a brand which excels in premium panel technology innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
