BenQ LED-backlit LCD monitors coming soon

BenQ has a new range of LED-backlit LCD monitors on their way, where they include the widescreen V2410T and V2410B, which will oust the V2400 Eco LED Monitor, while the third model would be the E2420HDB. Both of the first two models mentioned will come with 24' display sizes, native 1080p resolution, height-adjustable stands and a 5ms response time, with the only difference between the two being their form factor. Expect the E2420HDB to take a rain check for an LED panel, although it does have native 1080p resolution, 300 lumens of brightness, a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 5ms response time. All three models will sport Senseye image enhancement settings that will change for different applications, while display mode hotkeys lets you play back images with different aspect ratios apart from 16:9. Expect the V2410T to retail for $319, while the V2410B is going for $279 with the E2420HDB costing $195.

Apple Gearing Up For 27-inch Cinema Display And Xenon 5600 Mac Pro

Apple Gearing Up For 27-inch Cinema Display And Xenon 5600 Mac Pro

Looks like Apple is gearing up to release some rather cool stuff this summer, as word is going around that Apple is ready to introduce its 2560 x 1440 resolution 27-inch LED-backlit Cinema Display, which is a rather nice upgrade from its current 24-inch offering. Apparently the 27-inch model has been developed by Apple for some time now, but the fruity company was waiting for market prices to drop to a more reasonable level before launching the product.

Even juicier should be the news that a new Mac Pro is lined up to feature two Xenon 5600 hexacore chips from Intel. If that’s too powerful for you (yeah, right), you can also go for the single chip Mac Pro which should sport clock speeds of 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz, 2.93GHz or 3.33GHz. There isn’t any mention of a Core i7 processor, but considering the Xenon 5600 being touted, chances are that we might not see the Core i7 being offered.
