BenQ unveils world's first full-HD 21.5-inch 16:9 LCD panel

The Taiwanese display manufacturer last week introduced its new range of LCD monitors, among them the E2200HDA which the company claims is the world's first 21.5-inch full-HD (1080p) panel with 16:9 aspect ratio.

What makes the BenQ monitor unique is the fact that it is the smallest LCD monitor with a native full-HD resolution in the market. Current full-HD panels start at 24-inch or larger. Additionally, the E2200HDA sports a 16:9 aspect ratio (1,920 x 1,080-pixel) display which is a better fit for full-HD content than the conventional 16:10 (1,920 x 1,200 pixels) found in most LCD monitors today.

To complement the panel's full-HD capabilities, BenQ has included HDMI and DVI-D connectivity as well as HDCP support, on top the traditional VGA display option. Also onboard the BenQ LCD monitor are integrated speakers, headphone jack, 5ms response time and a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1. The E2200HDA is expected to be available in China and selected markets in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America in the third quarter of this year. Pricing details have yet to be announced.
