BenQ G2400W roomy 24-inch widescreen display
BenQ has proven itself to be pretty adept in the LCD monitor market in the past, having released a fair few capable models at the larger end of the scale. The G2400W is one such product, featuring a 24-inch widescreen display capable of resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 pixels.
It’s a particularly good looking screen, due largely to its extremely slim and light build and no-nonsense matt-black casing. You’ll find a tilt mode but no swivel, height adjustment nor ability to spin the screen to portrait mode.
In terms of connectivity it’s well featured, offering D-Sub (VGA), Digital and HDMI inputs, so will work with whatever connections you have on your graphics card. Using the HDMI input you can view high definition resolutions up to 1080p, making it ideal for use as a secondary television.

So what are the advantages and negatives of the DVD version?
