PRESS RELEASE
England October 2013 - BenQ, the global LED monitor manufacturer, announced the availability of fourteen Flicker Free, Eye-Care monitors in its product range. The BenQ Eye-Care series with models from 20" through to 27" inch screens enables computer users to improve their productivity by reducing eye strain and unwanted headaches from heavy screen usage often associated with flickering monitors. Now this revolutionary technology is available for all customers from entry level consumers, enthusiast gamers through to corporate customers at affordable prices.
Why Flicker Free?
Flicker, or a flashing effect, occurs as the LED backlight controller of a monitor adjusts to the changes in brightness level. A regular monitor backlight can cause fast backlight flickering at 200Hz per second when brightness is reduced from the maximum level. When this happens, the human eye, sensitive to the slightest signals, strains the ciliary muscle trying to adjust to the nearly invisible flickering on the screen. This might lead to eyestrain, eye fatigue or headaches.
BenQ's new Flicker-free monitors adopt a unique De-flickering Backlight Circuit Controller for a zero-flickering viewing experience and in turn help reduce the eye health concerns raised by a fast-flickering display and/or prolonged usage of PCs and notebooks. The use of a Flicker-free monitor with a computer or a notebook offers a better view and a more comfortable viewing experience for all.
Eye - Care Series Features
Other complementary Eyegonomic features of BenQ Flicker-free monitors include:
Senseye® Reading Mode that recreates the comfortable experience of reading actual books by adjusting the monitor's color temperature and brightness levels, as well as balancing its contrast ratio and sharpness, to simulate the look of paperback paper.
Automatic Eye-Protect Sensor that detects ambient light levels and adjusts the monitor brightness automatically throughout the day for optimized clarity and eye comfort.
Height Adjustment Stand (HAS)* which allows you to find the best viewing angles for personal work or screen sharing with an extensive range of monitor adjustments - height, tilt, pivot, stroke and swivel.
Smart Reminder* that gently reminds users to take a break in a predefined time interval. The breaks not only keep users' eyes comfortable, but also ensure desirable productivity.
Anti-Glare Display that avoids straining your eyes when the monitor faces a light source. With a matte-finished screen, you don't need to deal with the annoying reflection.*on selected model
