    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    For those interested, I bought the GW2750 and also have a green tint. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to correct this with the standard OSD. The reason is that the color channels are badly aligned on this monitor at the dark AND the light end of the spectrum. Since the OSD only...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    For those interested, after having used the monitor for a while, I've changed my settings and I believe they are now the best I can get without calibration. In particular, the greys are more neutral. New settings. Picture Mode: Standard Brightness: 30 (I sometimes adjust this depending on...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Well, thanks. Mine was manufactured in August. It looks like it may be a unit that had been returned already by someone else, since the box didn't have the original tape.

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    After using my new BL2400PT for a day, the irregular ripple yellowish LED effect at the bottom of the screen is still clearly annoying. So I've asked BenQ for a warranty return and sent them the following photos to illustrate the defect: Here is BenQ answer (I've translated from...

    That's right: same picture as the one above, but with its histogram stretched in photoshop. This is just to show how the led light is distributed on the panel. In reality, the differences in luminosity are not too distracting, except for the lower edge "ripples".

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Hi all, Here are my impressions on the BL2400PT. I received it this morning. I have no measuring equipment, but a good eye and Lagom tests. :) The good: - Construction, pivots, design are all fine for me. - Coating: the semi-gloss coating on this screen is really perfect in my...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Maybe some clues: - VA doesn't have to be expensive. For example, my current monitor which I bought in 2006 has a PVA 8bit panel and costed at the time only around $350.- (It also had good reviews.) - Benq is positionned as a high volume mainstream consumer brand and their low pricing is...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Here is a new review of the BL2400PT on it168 (several pages with links at the bottom): http://translate.google.ch/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Flcd.it168.com%2Fa2010%2F1009%2F1111%2F000001111503.shtml&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8 Colours seem quite a lot better than what they measured on the...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Well. I'm no expert at this either. I think you should be able to correct this by applying different gamma curves for each color channel on the graphics card. But it seems this often leads to loosing some colors in the process. Missing colours would then show up for example as banding on...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Regarding pricing, the BL2400PT is really cheap here in Switzerland. Around $300.- For example: http://www.powerch.com/Others.1/Benq.364/9H.L4RLB.SBE/BL2400PT+61cm+24%22+ANA%25252FDIG.216891.html?language=en Regarding measured contrast, the numbers sound ok to me when compared to other...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Hi there, While searching for further reviews of the EW/VW2420, I came across a third version with the same panel: BL2400PT. For those who may be interested, the difference is that it has a matte frame and a better stand with a pivot function. If the reviews are good, I will finally...
