Let's cut to the chase. BenQ's G2400W is a no-frills 24-incher that can hardly be called attractive. But it covers most bases in terms of features and costs less than £250. It delivers good image quality thanks to impressive colour separation and greyscale reproduction. Text is clear too, and games perform effortlessly - only the more discerning will notice and be bothered by its deficiencies, If you're looking for a good all-rounder and your pockets aren't deep enough for Dell's UltraSharp 2408WFP, the G2400W will more than satisfy. Just bear in mind that it doesn't swivel, nor can you adjust the monitor's height, so you?ll need to improvise to get it sitting at the right height on your desk. It's also not possible to pivot it into a portrait orientation, either, but it can be tilted backwards and forwards.

If ever a monitor was a tale of two halves, the BenQ X2200W is it. The bad half of the equation is that the image enhancement measures area a major flop. In truth, we didn't expect a great deal. Traditionally, these sorts of techniques tend to promise a whole lot more than they deliver. In this case, they merely serve as a reminder that there's no substitute for premium panel technology. However, consider the X2200W as a more conventional 22-inch TN+Film model and it makes a much better case for itself. It's a competitive panel with a good range of input options. What it isn't however, is terribly well priced. The essentially pointless enhancement technology comes at a cost that pushes this panel into a price range that sees it competing with the more affordable 24-inch TN alternatives, complete with much higher 1,920 x 1,200 resolutions. With a quality PVA or IPS panel that might just be winnable fight. But as it is, the X2200W is simply too expensive.

With all the recent problems at BenQ, including Ability taking over its camera business, is this the last good one for a while?

BenQ's latest Joybook, the S41 leads the company's charge of notebooks refreshed with the Santa Rosa platform. Aided by NVIDIA's DirectX 10 compatible GeForce 8600M GS graphics chipset, can this notebook be one of the bargains of the year?

BenQ DC C610 is cute small digital camera suitable for complete beginners, or for those without ambitions or need to achieve image quality which could compete with professional models. C610 is ideal for those wanting to lightly make some images and capture family moments, and later watch those images on the computer screen and now and then print some of them.

Fast-paced games such as FIFA 07 were no trouble for the monitor either. The acid test, however, is F.E.A.R. - which is full of shadows and incredibly dark scenes that are great for testing out this monitor's blacks. We hooked up Extraction Point, the new expansion, and found that the game was easily navigable even with a large amount of ambient light. We also found that the HDR-enabled scenes of Half-Life 2: Lost Coast looked spectacular, with the contrast ratio of the monitor easily coping with the brightness differences across the level.

At the end of March I looked at the Samsung SyncMaster 244T and was amazed at how much it offered considering the price. At the time, finding a good 24in 1,920 x 1,200 monitor for around £800 was quite impressive, but it seems that things have moved on considerably since then. Sitting on my desk right now is the BenQ FP241W 24in monitor, which has even more tricks up its sleeve, while hitting a price point that makes the Samsung look expensive.

BenQ's put out some impressive monitors and now have taken it a step, um, larger. The FP202W is BenQ's attempt at a 20"monitor, and a very successful one at that. It delivers a superb performance, focusing on the basics and getting them almost perfect.

Ever wished that your notebook had a faster pixel response time to reduce the annoying effects of 'ghosting' while gaming? With yet another world's first in the shape of the Joybook R53, BenQ has finally answered that wish of yours... ;-)

Past Joybooks from BenQ were largely praised for its attractive lifestyle design and good build quality. As it turned out, the same formula was also applied to their latest Joybook S53W and we found it to be quite a pleasant notebook for everyday use...

The FP202W is an impressive screen for gamers, while maintaining 8-bit colour support for image editing and other colour sensitive work. Unfortunately, if you can live without having such a low response rate, there are cheaper and better featured 20in widescreen monitors available...

The BenQ FP91V is a case of 'too little, too late'. BenQ successfully delivered the great FP91V+, the world's first ultra-low Gray-to-Gray response time monitor with an excellent glossy panel that totally blew us away. As a successor, the FP91V didn't really impress as it was far too similar in performance to the FP91V+. We all know well enough never to take response time specifications at face value and even under the most optimal conditions, the 2ms increase is negligible. In the end, we won't give up the excellent panel on the FP91V+ for the FP91V...

By delivering the P50, BenQ has proven that they are just as capable of design excellence as their European rivals. Not only is the choice of color a bold breakaway from the conventional color palette favored for such PDA devices, the styling too saw a departure from the norm. BenQ's signature purple however, is not the only shade available to eager buyers. Depending on the region, classy black and cool silver are two other color options presented to consumers. A nice touch was made to its sides to facilitate better grip. Overall, the build quality of the BenQ P50 was found to rival, if not better similarly classed products offered by its competitors...
