BenQ LED Eco Monitors Released For Under £100
November 25, 2009
As we near the Copenhagen conference the glare of public interest is shifting from the financially deprived recession to the environmentally deprived globe, and yet again eco warriors are back on the agenda – so what better time to release some LED monitors that fit nicely into both categories?
The snappily named BenQ G920WL and G922HDL (yes, that is sarcasm!) both line themselves up as the eco-option which I’m sure will prove popular, and the same can be said for the pricing, but let’s have a look at the specs first.
The only real difference between the two is the size of them: the G920WL is the larger of the two and weighs in with and 19 inch screen, 16:10 ration and 1440 x 900 WXGA+ resolution whilst the ever so slightly smaller G922HDL is 18.5 inches and thus has a 16:9 ration with a slightly diminished resolution of 1366 x 768.

As more an people start using computers and we see more of them springing up across the house (you may within the next few years have separate ones in your kitchen, lounge, bedroom etc) the issues of size and energy efficiency as well as the all important and already prevalent performance and cost come into play.

How To Calibrate LCD Monitor / TV
March 19, 2007
Calibrating my LCD TV/Monitor was what was on my mind last night when I was browsing through my photos using Google’s free Picasa photo software. Whilst playing around with the brightness and colour correction settings of the photos, it struck me that it was pointless changing photos when I’d never actually properly done a LCD TV/Monitor calibration or configured my Viewsonic VX912 LCD monitor since I bought it about 18 months ago.
While this thought was fresh in my mind, I did a Google Search (now located to the right of this article for your convenience!) and found it was actually quite difficult finding something to help me calibrate and properly configure my LCD monitor – I thought that they’d be plenty of LCD TV/monitor calibration tests for LCD monitors by now as you find plenty on DVDs for your LCD TVs (more on this later), however most results I found were for professional paid LCD TV/monitor calibration services – certainly not what I needed in terms of calibrating the LCD monitor of my home computer.
