Toronto, Ontario, May 30, 2005 – From clothing to cars, consumers have a plethora of choices in every category, but until now, the electronics aisle has been fairly limited when it comes to monitors. BenQ Canada is pleased to offer consumers a previously unheard of level of selection—a line of 11 different LCD monitors—tailored to the varying needs of gamers, professionals, graphic artists, casual users and movie-watchers alike.
“In today’s competitive industry, there is an abundance of technology embedded in LCD monitors that may very well overwhelm the needs of individual consumers,” said Jimmy Davlouros, Executive Vice President for BenQ North America. “Rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach, BenQ Canada strives to offer a wide range of possibilities in our monitors, giving consumers the choice of how to best fit their lifestyle. No longer will consumers have to settle for too few or too many features. We are extremely proud to offer this level of freedom of choice.”
BenQ’s line of monitors all come with various features including Advanced Motion Accelerator (AMA) technology, which eliminates ‘ghosting’ and ensures images are more clear and vivid; exceptional response time, often coveted by gamers and frequent movie-watchers; and Senseye®, BenQ’s proprietary technology which is more responsive to the full potential of the human eye and delivers deeper, richer and clearer high-definition visuals.
