The BenQ FP241VW is a 24 inch widescreen LCD with its target group being computer gamers. Before going over to the impartial part of this report we'll refer to the subjective. The design. As it goes for me, in terms of flat screens, it isn't easy to impress me since I'm working with several TFTs and LCDs of BenQ and other producers day in day out. Everybody can think of that piece as they want to, but I was convinced by this new approach on the monitor market because of its extraordinary form from the very beginning. Additional pictures are to be seen on this page.

Numbers

The 24 inch of the BenQ FP241VW are with its maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and a HDMI input Full HD Ready. The two older inputs D-Sub and DVI, as well as S-Video provide an alternative input. Furthermore, this monitor boasts with two USB hub outputs on the left hand side. The response time is 6ms grey to grey and is thus suitable for computer games.

A few numbers for those of you interested: The entire piece weighs 10 kg, alone the screen is 51,8 x 32,4 cm big, a single pixel accounts to 0,27 mm, is TCO 07 certificated and runs on Windows Vista, too (Did we ever have to announce if a monitor works on a particular OS?).

Perfect Movements

The typical smears on many flat scrrens are diminished by a renowned technology invented by BenQ. "Perfect Motion" it is called. Hereby, a black picture is put between the single frames to force the monitor to establish a completely new picture. This results in a very sharp image.

The shown picture is automatically improved through "Senseye". This concerns colors, contrasts, motions, as well as the sharpness.

Entertain me

Even if the FP241VW was designed to fit the interests of gamers, it could also replace the television at home. With a digital or analog TV tuner and/or a DVD player with S-Video or HDMI outputs and a decent stereo, it seems like that it suits the place in front of your couch.
