Benq E2200 HDA Review

November 6, 2008

Well this is my review of the Benq E2200 HD /A. Took quite some time to get ready to make this one.
But please, im not a rocket scientist in review, just gonna write plain and simple what i like and disslike about it and yes, i do got pictures.

Benq E2200 HDA

Both Screens

Quick Specs:

  • Panel: TN
  • Size: 21.5 inches
  • Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Yeah 16:9 FFS!)
  • 5 ms / 2ms grey to grey
  • 300 cd/m2
  • Contrast: Static 1000 :1, Dynamic 10 000:1
  • Connections HDA: D-Sub/VGA
  • Connections HD: D-Sub/VGA, DVI-D, HDMI

As you can see the specs are quite heavy for this ultracheap screen, i payed 1500kr / 250 dollars each. But dont worry, they really live up to the hype, cheap screens that accualy work!.
Build
The plastic fantastic

Most of the screen is just plastic fantastic all the way. The foot itself is plastic, but has a handy “cableholder”. But i shit you not.

THis cheapass screen has a fucking VESA…

plastic fantastic

You also cant tilt it so mutch.

Max “Upwards”
up

And “Down”

So general build conclusion:
Its plastic, but VESA-tastic, if you dont like the foot get a new “screenholder?” :D

Screen Quality:
Forwarning, this screen is based on a TN Panel, dont think for a moment that this screen is like the 700buck Samsung one with S-PVA.

pixelmadness

I will just say this.. WOW.. I just love having high resolution, its totaly amazing! And the pixels are reaaally tiny also, nerly laptopish :|

As i only got the Canon G9 and bad lighting i cant really show how the colors are, but if some are interested here are some pics.

Viewing Angle!

Well since this is a classic TN panel we are all scared of the viewing angel.

Viewing angle conclusion: For you infront of the screen it will look wonderfull, people on the floor or sealing wont. People on the sides will watch the porn your running aokay.

LIGHTLEAKAGE!

Well this screen has some lightleakage, its not mutch, you have to be a bitch to see it, and you wont care watching porn or gaming CS, WOW, Fallout.

Grand Finalè:

This screen beats the shit out of every other screen i have seen in the 22 “cheap range”

The Postive:

  • The Colors are amazing.
  • Black is pretty.. black?
  • 1920×1080p / 16:9 screen for Computer use.
  • It got VESA of you want another holder.
  • For a TN panel the viewingangle is quite good.
  • You get fucking 2×21.5 inches (3840×1080) for the price of 1x 24 inch (1920×1200)
  • And the screen looks good :)

The Negative:

  • The buildquality aint the best, its all plastic-fantastic
  • Got lightleakage like the rest of the cheap screens
  • Only VGA on the “HDA” edition
  • Dynamic Contrast is crap, so dont have it on.

FInal Word:

Well this screen is tha shit, and will be the current Bang for the Buck screen. Dirt cheap and delivering a quite good picture and amazing resolution for a 22 inch “cough 21.5 inch cough”.

If you want a new screen, 22 inch, i would recommend the this one, but the HD edition, because it got HDMI and DVI also. But jesus christ, this screen is awsome.. get it folks, you wont regret.
