We've known major flat-panel manufacturers to
loose the farm every now and
again, but this time its
BenQ's turn to unleash so many
LCDs we can hardly speak of them all in this space. The 17-inch E700 / E700A / E700N and 19-inch E900 / E900A / E900N all boast standard 4:3 panels, 800:1 contrast ratios, and 300 cd/m2 brightness levels, and while the "A" models tout only a VGA input, the other two add-in DVI. Also of note, displays rocking an "N" arrive sans speakers, while the others manage to include a set of one-watt stereo drivers. Moving on, the 19-inch E900W / E900WA / E900WN displays all sport similar configurations but pack a widescreen panel and just a 700:1 CR, while the E2000WA sports a 20-inch panel with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio. The E2000W ups the ante to 24-inches (at least that's what BenQ claims) of widescreen real estate, while the E2200W / E2200WA monitors include 22-inch screens. Now that you're totally befuddled, why not hit the read link and see the madness in a easy-to-read (albeit still enormous) chart.

umm, can has rezolushunz plz?
Why not include the resolutions in the table? It seems like forever now that no one seems to publish or care what the resolutions of these things are, not even the manufacturers.
IMO, the DPI of monitors is very important, and just because it's "good enough", does not mean it couldn't be better.
Yeah, I find the complete lack of resolution information more than a little concerning... Although prices would be nice too... Can't really judge if these are a good deal or even just a good product until we know the res and the price...
I, myself, think there are way too many choices available and this is not just related to monitors. Instead of one with bells, one with whistles and one without either, why not just provide one with both bells and whistles that can be removed if the user so chooses? Too many models and abilities to have to wade through when making buying decisions for the consumer and too many things to track for the supplier.
A little off topic, but did anyone else see Best Buy's $179.00 22" LCDs earlier this week? They're sold out now, but man... what a deal. I got a pair of them.
yep got one here:) westinghouse lcm 22w3?
e2000w is not a 24" monitor, sorry to say.
I'm betting;
17 inchers - 1280x1024
20 and 22" - 1680x1050
24 inchers - 1900x1200
...but that's just a guess.
1920x1200*
=)
+20 points for you, kevin
More disappointing to me is the lack of panel type information (TN+Film, SIPS, SPVA, PMVA etc). Panel type is highly indicative of the quality one can expect of the monitor (though not neccesarily the be all and end all).
As reductant said, there is no 24" model, its a 22" model (E2000W).
They are all TN panels because they are value monitors and given their low viewing angles (up to 170 degrees) and a 5ms response time.
Sorry I mean 20" model.
Is that 1 watt per channel? or just 1 watt total for both the speakers. I need to know because I live in an apartment and if it's 1 watt per speaker, I'm going to get complaints from the neighbors . . .
