BenQ unveils world’s first 24-Inch 2560 x 1440 Desktop Monitor

Time after time, professionals and enthusiasts have asked for a QHD monitor that's smaller than 27 inches. Those have arrived, but only quite late, and only in mobile phones and laptops, which is not what we've been asking for. No, we wanted a desktop monitor that's smaller than 27 inches with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. Now, after many years, it seems BenQ is here to deliver, as the company just announced its BL2420PT – a 23.8-inch monitor with a QHD resolution.



The BL2420PT will be the initial model of this size to offer a high 2560 x 1440 resolution, something normally reserved for 27" models. This produces a pixel density of 123.41 PPI (pixels per inch) which would be comparable to if you had a 4k 3840 x 2160 resolution on a 36" sized screen.

The panel is AU Optronics' new M238DAN01.0 which is an IPS-type AHVA panel (not to be confused with AMVA). The backlight is W-LED and offers a standard sRGB colour gamut. It also has a true 8-bit color depth. As with all modern BenQ displays the screen is flicker free (no PWM) and features a range of Low Blue Light modes as well. The panel has a gray-to-gray response time of 5 ms, a 1000:1 static contrast ratio, 178 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, and 300 cd/m2 brightness.



The stand offers a full range of tilt, height, swivel and rotate adjustments. The Eye Protect ambient light sensor and human motion sensor features are included as well on this model.

For connectivity, BenQ has fitted the monitor with DVI, VGA, HDMI 1.4, and DisplayPort 1.2 interfaces. There is also a line-in jack for driving the two 1W speakers, as well as a headphone jack. The monitor has EnergyStar 6.0 certification and consumes only 28W. It is fully compatible with Mac systems too.



Price and release date of this interesting monitor is still a mystery.
