Feature 5,000:1 Ultra-High Native Contrast Ratio, 8-Bit Color Performance, True Blacks, and Wide-Angle Viewing 

Sydney Australia, 18 June 2012:  Purchasing a BenQ monitor now guarantees an optimised viewing experience with the company deciding to adopt Vertical Alignment (VA) LED panel technology across the range of its monitor line-up.  BenQ launched the world’s first VA LED monitor only two years ago, and has now decided to extend VA LED panel technology across the monitor range,  providing consumers with a higher native contrast ratio to show true black and vivid colour surpassing other displays.

What this means to the consumer is that for no real additional outlay they’re assured of a monitor which offers an outstanding visual performance with the sharpest details, the richest colours and the deepest blacks – three core elements that contribute substantially to the visual clarity and viewing comfort of a computer monitor.  Coupled with this, VA LED monitors are energy-efficient and eco-friendly, greatly reducing power consumption and are manufactured mercury-free, making them less costly to the Earth.

Said BenQ Australia’s general manager, Chee F. Chung, “Twisted Nematic (TN) LED and In-Plane Switching (IPS) panels only come with a 1000:1 native contrast ratio, where VA LED panels boast an ultra-high native contrast ratio of 5000:1, bringing astonishing colour depth and definition from the brightest whites to the deepest blacks with the greatest subtlety and clarity.

“This is obviously ideal for those wishing to use their monitor for personal entertainment, but should not be underestimated for general purpose usage also.  For instance, watching videos and browsing pictures on a VA LED panel is vastly more comfortable and easier on the eye then with a traditional TN LED monitor,” she said.

“Other advantages to VA panels include a wider viewing angle to accommodate a bigger audience more comfortably, and true 8-bit colour delivers smoother and more stable colour transitions by rendering a total of 16.7 million colour shades.

“BenQ’s line up of monitors from the multimedia EW, to the stylish VW, ergonomic BL and general purpose GW series now takes full advantage of VA panel technology and LED backlighting,” said Chung.
