This 23-inch LCD from Benq overwhelms you with its size, and is a pleasure to work with. It provides a range of connectivity options, including DVI-D, S-Video, Composite, and D-sub—which means that other than your PC, you can connect it to your DVD player, camcorder, game box and so on. The OSD menu is very easy to use, but the buttons are on the left face of the panel, making it difficult to access. This model also has a picture- in-picture feature. It offers a cool 155-degree viewing angle in the Movie mode and 165 degrees in the Text mode, making it a perfect choice for viewing with friends around. When we tested this model for performance using DisplayMate, it returned impressive results in the ‘Point Shape’ and ‘Visibility’ tests, where reproduction of a fine dot, as well as text on a coloured background, was crisp. The 16 ms response time claim, however, was shattered in the Passmark Monitor test, where tearing was visible in a white block moving at 100 pixels per second. Graphics and CAD/CAM professionals who need accurate colour reproduction and accurate geometry must check out this panel. It is also highly recommended for movie buffs who can afford it—it’s a lovely 23-inch spread, apart from being an LCD!
