Yeah, it seems that for electrical goods you can just replace $ for £ to get the price even though £1 = $2. It's a scandal but I think it's sometimes even worse in mainland Europe.

I thought BFI might just be too good to be true. People who have it don't seem to be lining up to praise it's effect on the moving images that it's supposed to dramatically improve.

Thanks, just the info I was looking for. I'm in the UK and it's the same here. The internet is the ONLY place to buy this monitor (where it's still the equivalent of between $1000 and $1300!).

OK, many thanks. Apparently the Z version might be discontinued so this would tally. If that's true I wonder if it's because the Z model is expensive to produce and not as profitable or just because the BFI feature is a let down. Any additional opinions on the merits or otherwise of the...

Could you (or anyone) tell me whether you think the Z version of the BenQ FP241W is worth the extra money for the BFI technology? I'd be grateful too if anyone could confirm if these two monitors share the same features and imperfections in all other regards.

Thanks, a useful summary for potential buyers like me. Is it the Z version you have? It's supposed to be better for gaming.

Yeah, I'm still totally confused about whether to pull the trigger on The FP241W. The more I research the subject the more confused I feel! If someone could definitively tell me if the FP241W Z is any different than the standard FP241W apart from the BFI feature I'd be hugely grateful. Also...

Hi JB Thanks again for reliably settling these queries. I'm sure everybody would agree that it's great to see a senior BenQ face on this forum and, when time allows, it'd be great to hear from you again... What else can I say? Roll on the end of Feb for the WZ! Jcbguk

I just called BenQ regarding the FP241W Z and after hearing from a BenQ Product Specialist that they were still in the dark someone gave me another number and I somehow got put through to the Display Product Manager in the UK (though from Taiwan). I was told that he knows as much as anyone in...

This is a factuous comparison. The difference is, of course, that BenQ STILL advertise this monitor as being free of any image distortion. This is when a lacking feature stops being a choice and becomes a defect. Only if they didn't would what you are saying have any relevance. I suppose if you...

Why do you think there is little chance of them fixing this for free? The fact is that BenQ have advertised this monitor for multimedia use with "no image distortion" and that is what they must provide! They know full well that this is a lie but choose to continue making this claim and I'm...

If this is true then it is ridiculous. I haven't bought one yet but if I had I would expect and demand them to fix the problem at their expense and if this wasn't possible then surly they would have to offer a refund. From the start BenQ has (and for some reason still does even though they, and...

After having the first UK review of the FP241W it looks like BenQ are giving trustedreviews.com the first look at the FP241WZ too (little wonder after the 10/10 score and failure to mention the ratio issue first time!): http://www.trustedreviews.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9029&postcount=41

I wasn't making a value judgement about the merits or not of this screen having an HDMI 1.3 connection. I was just repeating some info gathered from a conversation with BenQ people in the know. ;) Incedentally, irrespective of whether this monitor could appreciate the differences, what makes...
