BenQ has announced a new computer monitor with ultra-high contrast, enhanced colour reproduction and a wider viewing angle for multimedia PCs.The EW2420 is a 16:9 Full HD LED panel, coming in at 24in with a 178/178 degree wide viewing angle for clear picture from more viewing angles than the average monitor.

The monitor is aimed at media-centric computing like gaming and watching movies, with a range of picture quality perks and connectivity options for most viewing needs.

“As multimedia entertainment increasingly shifts from the living room centric TV to PCs in different places in the house, consumers are looking for higher quality visual performance and better viewing enjoyment on their monitors,” said General Manager of BenQ Australia, Chee F Chung.

The monitor is the first to feature BenQ’s ‘Vertical Alignment’ technology that offers improved colour reproduction, an ultra-high contrast ratio and darker ‘true’ blacks. This is coupled with BenQ’s Senseye Human Vision Technology that produces clearer picture quality on monitors.

The EW2420 comes with DVI-D, two HDMI ports, four USB ports, D-Sub port and headphone and speaker ports for audio.

The EW2420 currently runs at an RRP of $489.
