BenQ Entertainment Monitors Unfurl Dark Drama with World's First HDRi Technology

Singapore, Feb 18, 2020 – BenQ, internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle devices, today launched five brand-new monitors in the Entertainment Series, equipped with exclusive HDRi intelligent visual optimization, tailored 2.1 channel Hi-Fi audio, and full-function Eye-Care for the most immersive experience available on the desktop monitor market.

The new Entertainment Series is unlike anything the world has seen before, said Conway Lee, President of BenQ Corporation. “The technologies we developed expressly for these monitors – enhanced HDRi technology, customized speakers from our treVolo team of audiophile experts, brightness and color temperature sensing Brightness Intelligence Plus – make the Entertainment Series the finest platform for enjoying movies, music videos, and streaming content.”

HDRi – A New Vision of Intelligent Immersion

BenQ’s pioneering HDRi technology ingeniously combines active intelligent brightness control, color saturation / balance optimization, and proprietary HDR image techniques to accentuate image contrast and clarity. Using a built-in sensor, Entertainment Series monitors detect ambient light levels as well as image content to automatically adjust screen brightness.

HDRi also enhances image contrast and clarity to reveal hidden details in every dark corner, as well as balancing bright areas to avoid overexposure and washout. In addition, intelligent optimization of color saturation and balance results in simply stunning color performance. Fully compatible with HDR10 for flawless high dynamic range performance, Entertainment Series monitors with HDRi immerses viewers in a visual experience that does not hold anything back and reveals every detail of the original content.

Best-in-Class True Sound Audio by treVolo

Equally innovative, the built-in 2.1 channel speaker system is designed by BenQ’s acclaimed treVolo audio team to maximize expansive sound in an unobtrusively integrated package. Though monitors traditionally are not renowned for speaker quality, BenQ True Sound by treVolo creates a listening experience far surpassing external speakers by utilizing advanced physical acoustics and psychoacoustics, without desktop clutter.

Total Immersion in Pure Comfort

Entertainment Series viewers are protected by the latest BenQ-exclusive Eye-Care, comprising Brightness Intelligence Plus (B.I.+), Low Blue Light, and Flicker-Free technologies as well as new ePaper mode, Eye Reminder, and Color Weakness modes.

Providing long-term eye comfort for extended binge-watching sessions, B.I.+ technology auto-adjust screen brightness, color temperature, and clarity for the most comfortable viewing experience. Low Blue Light technology filters out harmful blue light, effectively reducing eye fatigue for viewing comfort. And Flicker-Free technology provides immediate relief from eyestrain by eliminating the 200+ times per second flickering that troubles conventional LCD screens.

New for the Entertainment Series, ePaper mode simulates paperback and e-books with ideal contrast, brightness, and color temperature range for comfortable reading, while Eye Reminder alerts you to take breaks from watching based on user-defined preferences. Another important innovation, Color Weakness mode compensates red and green on-screen colors for viewers with protanomaly or deuteranomaly color blindness.

Engineered to deliver the most immersive personal entertainment platform for the desktop, the new BenQ Entertainment Series monitors come with an intuitive remote control, one-touch five-function navigator control on the display, and a convenient volume wheel.

The BenQ EW3280U Entertainment Series monitor is available at Lazada Brand Store with a MSRP of SGD1199. The 27” Entertainment Series model – EW2780U will be coming up in March.
