BenQ G2200W 22 Zoll 16:10 TFT VGA/DVI 5 ms 2500:1 Expert Reviews

HD has become de facto standard in the multimedia market in the last few years. The days of VHS videos or even DVDs are already over. Moreover, with the entry of Blu-ray into the storage market, when you hit the video store to rent a new movie, you ...

As a comparison, DVD players use the 480i/p with the 852*480 resolution. The term FULL HD usually covers a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9 that has a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. Paired with the 1080 horizontal resolution, this gives you 2 ...

Most monitors, like televisions, are black. Either that or silver. Other colours are generally frowned upon. Woodgrain casing, for example, went out in the seventies (thankfully). With the release of the M2200HD, BenQ has decided to ...

We weren't sold on its styling, but the M2200HD provides a quality picture, although the dynamic contrast feature produces variable results. At this price point, the inclusion of a webcam in the package is pretty impressive, too.

Full HD resolution, HDMI input, 2ms response time, good colour and contrast, 16:9 widescreen

Some image noise via HDMI, glossy bezel reflects light, stand isn't height adjustable, controls aren't backlit, viewing angles could be improved

The Full HD resolution and HDMI port make the BenQ G2412HD a relatively inexpensive way to get the most out of high-definition gaming consoles. The level of image noise could be improved when the monitor is connected via HDMI, but given the asking ...

The best bang for your buck may well be found with this BenQ. If you're not looking for HDMI, this is a good choice.

Full HD resolution, budget price

No HDMI port, poor viewing angles

The BenQ G2220HD is another very nice example of a budget HD-capable panel. While marginally cheaper than the Asus, there's very little difference in terms of performance. If anything, the BenQ offers that tiny bit of extra quality. And it does look ...

At under -200, this Full HD 22in from BenQ packs in a lot of extra features.

The BenQ is a 21.5in flatpanel monitor that stands out with its gleaming white livery.

The BenQ M2200HD is very well priced and the image quality is good, making is well deserving of a Recommended award.

THE G2200W is cheap but poor black levels and backlight bleeding makes it unimpressive.

Unimposing design, relatively inexpensive

Poor response rate, unsatisfactory black levels, backlight bleeding, disappointing presets

Although the G2200W is cheap for a 22" monitor, you don't get much for the price. Poor black levels and backlight bleeding make for an unimpressive monitor, though for occasional use it may prove be okay.

Although the G2200W is cheap for a 22in monitor, you don't get much for the price. Poor black levels and backlight bleeding make for an unimpressive monitor, though for occasional use it may prove useful.

Decent image quality and a price that's hard to believe

The out-of-the-box colour presets were disappointing, but opting for manual control yielded only modest improvements. We managed to reach a reasonable colour balance and white point by lowering the green level and raising the blue, but the result was ...
