BenQ EW2420 Review Published

The long awaited, eagerly anticipated and overly wordy PC Monitors Blog reviews of the BenQ EW2420. The EW2420 may look like any other computer monitor, but under the hood this thing sports an unusual combination – an LED backlight and a *VA panel. You may get sick of the term ‘*VA’ whilst reading the review,…

BenQ EW2420 Initial Impressions

We are currently reviewing the BenQ EW2420. We had an overwhelming number of people requesting a ‘proper review’ on the best budget gaming monitor (first in the world’s first LED-backlit *VA panel monitor) because it seems almost too good to be true. We had to acquire this monitor using our own funds as BenQ’s PR…

Dell U3011 Review by CNET | PC Monitors

Update: The TFT Central U3011 review is also online now if you would like to take a look – it features a greater level of depth than any other U3011 review on the internet. CNET Australia has got their hands (and most probably arms and chest, too) on the huge new Dell-branded beast; the U3011.…

Dell U2713HM

Introduction The U2711 redefined people’s expectations as one of the first widely available monitors with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. Coupled with its In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel and wide colour gamut Cold Cathode Fluorescent (WCG-CCFL) backlight it became a firm favourite for many home users as well as business and colour professionals. As time moved…

BenQ GW2750HM

Introduction BenQ are one of a dwindling number of manufacturers to release monitors using Vertical Alignment (VA) panels. Indeed they were the first manufacturer to combine VA panels with the increasingly ubiquitous LED backlight.

Samsung S24B750V

Introduction Samsung likes to push the boat out with the styling of their monitors. They took their aesthetic innovations to new heights last year with the release of the SA950 series of 3D monitors which featured a unique asymmetrical stand design. The SB750 series, which is new for 2012, features a similar asymmetric design but…

AOC I2353

Introduction LG Display started something of an ‘affordable IPS revolution’ with their introduction of their E-IPS (‘Enhanced In-Plane Switching’) panels in 2008-09. Dell were the first manufacture to bring cost-competitive monitors using such panels to market with their 22” 2209WA and released some appealing 22” and 23” UltraSharp models the following year. ViewSonic and NEC…

BenQ XL2420T

Introduction In late 2010 BenQ brought a very promising monitor to the market in the form of the XL2410T. Deciding to take a different slant from the usual ‘3D capabilities’ that most 120Hz displays are built around, BenQ marketed this one as a ‘gaming monitor’ and had the endorsement of some rather good Counter-Strike players…

Samsung S27A950D

The SA950 and TA950 line of PC monitors and hybrids turned an awful lot of heads after their unveiling at CES back in January 2011. The impossibly thin screens, almost invisible bezels and copious lashings of brushed metal were combined with a unique asymmetric stand design. The design looked a bit like some kind of…
