BenQ announced that it now has 27 different LED monitors to suit any user. The new screens use less energy, are greener, and brighter than conventional displays.

According to BenQ, LED panels are mercury free making them more readily recycled at end of life, while their manufacture does not pollute our waterways making them the clear environmental choice. Its entire range of LED-backlit monitors are thinner, lighter and provide a contrast ratio up to 10,000,000:1. They are also extremely energy efficient, using around 30 per cent less energy than conventional CCFL displays.

“When set to ‘eco mode’ a feature of BenQ Proprietary Senseye 3 technology found on all BenQ LED-backlit monitors, the monitors consume a further 30 per cent less power again, making the full power saving in excess of 60 per cent and on some models, up to 71 per cent is evident, which theoretically means that a household or business could more than halve the amount of energy they currently consume powering their computers,” says BenQ.

BenQ Australia’s General Manager, Chee Chung said, “With more than twenty years expertise in developing display products of the highest standards, BenQ will continue to lead the market with strong competencies and market intelligence, and it is BenQ’s belief that Full HD16:9 LED monitors will quickly become the benchmark for visual enjoyment.”

“LED panels offer a number of benefits over conventional LCD displays. While it might take a few minutes for LCD to power up, LED is ‘instant-on’ and flicker-free.  In a nutshell, you will get a clean crisp, stable picture in a sophisticated looking product which draws less energy and may actually pay for itself in energy savings within it’s lifespan, depending on how much it is used,” added Chung.

BenQ’s range, incorporating 27 different models of Full HD 16:9 LED monitors range in price from $149.00 to $549.00.
