BenQ covers it all with three new lines of LCD TVs

There is no excuse for sidelining BenQ's LCD TV offerings now that there are twice the number of models to savor. Announced yesterday in Singapore are its latest VA, VL and PL series with an eye on aesthetics to address its previous shortfalls in design.

Hailed by BenQ as the perfect replacement for your aging CRT TVs, the entry-level VA line offers clean-cut design matched with up-to-date specifications like a high-definition (1,366 x 768-pixel) panel and HDMI digital connectivity. Four models of 26- to 42-inch sizes are available and all feature 1,000:1 contrast ratios, 8ms response time and up to 1080i compatibility.

Up the performance scale, we have the VL line designed for advocates of high specifications and affordability. Available in identical sizes as its VA counterparts, all models under this series come with BenQ's proprietary Senseye technology, Virtual Dolby Surround Pro Logic 2 and a built-in light sensor for on-the-fly brightness adjustment.

The flagship PL4271 42-incher completes the lineup and is the only entry in the company's premium PL line. Equipped with a 1,920 x 1,080-pixel LCD panel, it is future-proofed with 1080p compatibility and features Senseye technology. BenQ also claims to deliver top analog audio amplifier performance with its new D2Audio digital amplifier--its first venture into digital audio for the company's LCD TVs.

The VA and VL series will be available in the second quarter of 2006, while the PL series is slated to hit retail shelves in the third quarter.
