BenQ Launches Next-Generation CRTs

May 2002-- BenQ Incorporated, formerly Acer Communications and Multimedia, just introduced two new additions to their CRT monitor line-up: the BenQ P211 and the BenQ P992. The P211 is a new generation 21-inch CRT which utilizes 0.25 mm super-fine dot pitch (with a horizontal frequency ranging from 30-KHz to 115-KHz and a vertical frequency from 50-Hz to 160-Hz) to deliver flicker-free and crisp images. The monitor sports a 20-inch diagonal viewable area and offers a super-crisp maximum resolution of 1920 x 1440. The 19-inch P992, also offers the same 0.25mm super-fine dot-pitch and features 1600 x 1200 maximum resolution. Both the P211 and the P992 will be available in May at a suggested retail price of $625 and $275, respectively. The BenQ P211 has built-in features designed for ease-of-use. Screen images are automatically calibrated by BenQ’s unique iKey on the front plate: once pushed, the monitor will intelligently optimize the display’s pixel clock, frequency, H-Position, V-Position and color temperature to accommodate the user’s current display mode. The advanced on-screen display (OSD) controls include convergence, moire and purity adjustments, fulfilling CAD/CAM users critical calibration demands in an easy-to-use, windows-like Graphic-User-Interface (GUI). The BenQ P992 CRT is based on a Natural Flat CRT technology, allowing the P992 to offer outstanding, distortion-free images with no visible screen curvature. This premium-quality 19” (18.0” viewable) monitor also features super-fine 0.25 mm dot-pitch, with support for horizontal frequencies up to 98-KHz, and a maximum resolution of 1600-by-1200. The BenQ P992 features a full range of display controls, making it ideal for a wide range of applications -- from word processing, spreadsheets, web surfing, video game entertainment, to professional graphics design. The BenQ P992 is ideally suited for SOHO (small office/home office) and home users who are ready to upgrade their old monitors, as well as game enthusiasts who require their CRT to have outstanding quality and a large viewing size. Both BenQ P211 and P992 CRT monitors are TCO-99 compliant and come with a three-year full warranty.
