BenQ, a top global display provider in both CE and IT industries, is trying to lead the charge in LCD revolution with their new V Series Eco LED Widescreen Displays starting with the launch of their 24” LED widescreen and the world’s first 21.5” LED widescreen, namely the Full HD 1080p V2400 Eco and Full HD 1080p V2200 Eco respectively. Both new V Series models feature "Eco" mode for 30% less power-consumption without compromising visual enjoyment and come with HDMI 1.3 and D-Sub input.

BenQ freshens up the design of the V2400/2200 Eco with a snow white ID that symbolizes purity in construction and calls to mind the purity of Nature. The shell is 28% recycled plastic, held to the highest standards set forth by EPEAT (a program of the Green Electronics Council) and PC3R (an organization that promotes reuse, reduction, and recycling of PCs and PC displays). To promote recycling, no chemical coating or printing of any kind taints the shell’s pristine whiteness. Instead, the BenQ logo and button markings are engraved, making the unit more recycle-friendly. Complimenting the avant-garde style of the V2400/2200 Eco is a cool multi-function round holder designed into the base of the monitor, offering a handy spot for knickknacks, an optional business card holder, or even serving as a mini plant pot.

The V2200 ECO and V2400 ECO are availabe in Asia immediately. The SRP for the V2200 ECO and Benq V2400 ECO are HK$1699 and HK$1999 respectively.
