BenQ Debuts Monitors for Mobile and Cloud Content

BenQ has released two new monitors designed to deliver content from mobile devices and gaming consoles.

The EW2440L and EW2740L, with 24- and 27-inch vertical alignment (VA) panels, come with 3,000:1 contrast ratios, flicker-free backlight and mobile high-definition link (MHD) technology.

Additional key features of the new displays include:

  • Slim bezel design;

  • Automatic adjustment of color and resolution of video content;

  • Ability to pinpoint specific area or window for viewing while concealing remainder of displayed content;

  • Compatibility with Windows 8; and
