Response time is a critical element for LCD monitors and needs to be less than 17ms to enjoy smoother transitions without still-image retention or delays in motion.  For example, a 16ms LCD is equivalent to 63 images per second versus a 25ms LCD that equals 40 images per second.

"The BenQ FP231W packs a lot of features into an even bigger LCD monitor," said Thomas Han, vice president of Display at BenQ America.  "We wanted to make sure that-with BenQ's new large-screen LCD-consumers get the most from their monitor, whether using it at home or in the office.  Considering everything that comes standard with the FP231W, all the video inputs, a 16:9 aspect ratio and amazing resolution, this is the perfect monitor for any video-based content."

The BenQ FP231W is a 23-inch LCD monitor that features 16ms signal response time for dynamic screen motion that yields smooth, full-motion visuals and prevents "ghosting" of images.  It delivers a brightness of 250 cd/m2 with a contrast ratio of 500:1 for clear and sharp pictures.  The FP231W comes with D-Sub, DVI-D, S-Video and Composite inputs, as well as VGA and DVI cables.
