E-Series Monitors

BenQ released a new set of E-Series LCD monitors, and it’s looking pretty fine. They’ve improved the aesthetics. Also, they’ve added the SensEye 3 auto-calibration sensor. The auto-calibration sensor automatically corrects contrast, color and clarity in order to give a better picture.

It goes without saying that the E-Series supports HD content playback on its 16:9 screen, offers a 50000:1 contrast ratio with 300 nits of brightness and 2ms response time (E2420HD). If that’s not enough, the E-Series also has amazing 11 ports that includes 4 USB, 2 HDMI, DVI, VGA and 3 audio connectors. It comes in 21.5” (E2220HD) and 24” (E2420HD). It’ll be out this month. No word on pricing yet.

Salivation Alert Part 1: Multiple Displays, Multiple Machines

by

There are days when I just wish I were Bill Gates’ (rather, Steve Jobs’) daughter. With a tricked-out setup like his, I would so be beside myself, that if I were married, I won’t be paying hubby any attention because of being absorbed in my system.

When I first saw Bill Gates’s setup on CNN Money, I chuckled to myself because I was so amused how he could need three displays just to check mail. It was only until I had experienced and realized the need to work on two computers at once that I finally reconciled myself to the fact that multiple displays have more than salivation factors. They actually bring a productivity boost that is unparalleled. [Read more…]

The Wonders of Dual Displays

by

Oh yeah the wonders of Dual Display can be wonderful and it definitely increases productivity. The very nice thing about the technology today is that video cards have the ability to run multiple monitors using one computer, or a laptop. Now it’s either you choose to “mirror” your display or use another setting to “extend” your monitor to allow the cursor freely move from the primary display to the second if it was all one surface. You can move Applications , icons, and all other neat things onto the secondary monitor and start taking advantage of the increased desktop real estate. With this setup, you computer becomes more convenient and fun to use. Making you more productive and happy, if you know what I mean.

Personally, I love all the space I see it gives me freedom because I’m not cramped looking at my laptop with a 15 inch display, now for my Dual Display setup on my Laptop and 21 inch flat screen monitor I put my Browser and some of my word processing software on the bigger screen, then put my IM, Email Client, Media Player on the Laptop screen so I get double the fun and double the workload done. And the most important part of Dual Displays is Playing Games on one screen and doing work on the other, that actually boosts my morale on blogging. I can work and play all day and not be hassled by blaming myself that I played all day and didn’t get any work done. Because I have Windows Vista on my laptop, I never had any problem with graphic cards and stuff, since Windows Vista would need an awesome criteria of specs for it to be able to run properly. So 3d gaming is a go!, Dual Displays… Better! Imagine 8 hours of work, while you’re working on the other screen you look on your other screen and you’re running Civilization and you’re currently controlling and amassing your empire. So Dual Displays is the way to go and the only thing left is to add more screens. How about Quadruple Displays? anyone?
