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.

BenQ - DC X725
It was only a couple of months ago that we were admiring the slimness of BenQ’s T700 digital camera, which was a shade under 15mm thick. Like the X725, the T700 was about the dimensions of a credit card, boasted 7 megapixels and had a display screen resolution of 232,000 pixels.
The other parallel was that both cameras were geared towards the style conscious, as the X725 - like its predecessor - comes in four stainless steel colours (stern black, pearl white, dramatic red and cool silver) and because of its dimensions (officially 91 x 60 x 14.7mm), slips handily into a pocket or handbag.
However, it’s not just in price that the X725 falls below the T700, as there’s a mixture of missing elements as well as an unusual array of controls that makes this model inferior to its more impressive brother. For instance, the T700 had a 3-inch touch screen display and the X725 dispenses with the touch system and opts for a 2.5-inch LCD screen. (more…)

BenQ - SP831
Digital projectors don’t come cheap, but at nearly £1,300 + VAT you’ll need deep pockets to afford the BenQ SP831. But then it is a highly specified and capable device, with facilities to handle not one but two video sources and display them together in optional split screen and picture-in-picture (PiP) modes.
Like other BenQ projectors, the SP831 is a professional looking device, housed in a large and shiny black casing. It’s also clearly designed more for static than portable use, with a ceiling mount available as an optional extra. Alternatively, built in levelling feet allow the projector to be placed on a desk and, with 4,000 Lumens on tap, it’s bright enough to be used in a large auditorium without dimming the lights or drawing the curtains.
A 300W lamp provides the illumination, rated for 3,000-4,000 hours, depending on use. The lamp is easy enough to change, but a screwdriver is needed and it could be a little awkward when the projector is ceiling-mounted. (more…)
