BenQ has introduced its new range of LCD monitors, among them one that it claims is the first 21.5-inch full high-definition panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

That would make its E2200HDA monitor the smallest LCD with a native full-HD (1080p) resolution in the market. Current full-HD panels start at 24-inch or larger. Additionally, the E2200HDA sports a 16:9 aspect ratio (1,920 x 1,080-pixel) display which is a better fit for full-HD content than the conventional 16:10 (1,920 x 1,200 pixels) found in most LCD monitors today.

To complement the panel's full-HD capabilities, BenQ has included HDMI and DVI-D connectivity as well as HDCP support, on top the traditional VGA display option. Also onboard the BenQ LCD monitor are integrated speakers, headphone jack, 5ms response time, and a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1. The E2200HDA is expected to be available selected markets in Europe, Asia, and Latin America in the third quarter of this year. Pricing details have yet to be announced.
