New LED monitors boast ergonomic design and eco-friendly features

Dubai, UAE, 31st October 2010: BenQ, leading digital lifestyle provider and 2010 Red Dot Award winner, has launched the world's first Vertical Alignment (VA) LED monitors to the Middle East region. BenQ's sophisticated LED monitor range boast ergonomic design, higher energy savings than traditional monitors as well as eco-friendly engineering.

Manish Bakshi, General Manager of BenQ for the Middle East and Africa said: "With the launch of our three new VA LED monitor range - The EW, VW and BL series - BenQ continues to strengthen its market standing as a leader and internationally-renowned provider of digital monitors. The BL series on offer in the Middle East, aims to boost office workers' efficiency and help contribute to lowering businesses cost through its energy saving capability."

"The EW series is designed to appeal to the region's digital video enthusiasts and the VW series, winner of the prestigious iF Award 2010, is aimed at consumers looking for a fusion of style and functionality," he added.

BenQ's new BL Series gives the company an industry- edge being the first to deliver "4E" LED displays combining ergonomics, eco-friendliness, economy, and enjoyment.  The six new BL models, which span 19", 22", and 24" sizes, are being positioned as the cost-effective choice for businesses; LED technology uses up to 33% less energy versus traditional LCD displays, saving companies considerable costs. Additionally, BenQ's mercury-free LED backlight lowers CO2 emissions and extends product lifespan for less pollution and e-waste. The BL Series saves companies up to 25% and 42.5%, respectively, in energy costs, and the planet up to 25% and 43%, respectively, in lowered CO2 pollution. 

BenQ has outfitted the 24" BL2400PT with premium VA panels that provide a 178 o ultra-wide viewing angle, truly authentic colour, deeper blacks, and extreme contrast and clarity.  Focusing on employees' eye health, an integrated Automatic Eye-Protect Sensor continuously measures ambient lighting levels and adjusts the display's brightness for maximum eye comfort, prolonged viewing, and reduced eye strain. 

BL's ultra-flexible Height Adjustment Stand (HAS) eliminates common shoulder, neck, and back pain, which are common causes for employee down-time.

The EW series, equipped with a wide range of ports, enhances the enjoyment of user's video viewing without interruption. Users can keep an array of digital devices permanently plugged in simultaneously allowing users to switch between gaming console, DVD player, webcam, PC, iPod, and others without the need for plugging, unplugging and switching cables.

The three new award-winning VA LED monitor series are now available in the Middle East. For further information, please visit www.BenQ.co.ae.
