BenQ's V2400 Eco is designed to offer great performance while being eco-friendly at the same time. In line with this the V2400 Eco sports a LED backlight. Compared to a regular backlight, LEDs generally offer better brightness and contrast while consuming less power. On paper the screen offers a brightness rating of 250cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. In use the screen's display was quite bright, so ambient lightning didn't wash out the display. Moving to Full HD movies and photographs, the screen bashed out impressive contrast and colours. Playing fast paced games, we noticed slight blur though this didn't destroy our viewing experience. With compact dimensions and a bright white finish the V2400 Eco is a classy looking piece. Unfortunately in terms of functionality we found it a bit lacking as you can't pivot or rotate the screen. Thankfully, you can tilt the screen so movement isn't completely restricted. Another somewhat strange aesthetic touch is the inclusion of a small circular depression in the base of the LCD. BenQ says you can use this to hold a mini plant pot or small keepsakes. Odd.
With the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 ($300) costing $50 less than the BenQ, there is simply no good reason to purchase V2400 Eco. Overall, the Samsung monitor has better performance, facilitated by its wider viewing angle and brighter screen. The BenQ gets points for its unique, stark white aesthetic and the fact that it has virtually no backlight bleed through; but in the end, it's too little, too late for this LED-based display. While not a bad monitor, the V2400 Eco just can't compare with the best LED monitor out there. The 23-inch BenQ V2400 Eco has a completely white chassis, including a white power and white VGA cord. The bezel is 0.8-inch wide all around and the full width of the panel is 23.8 inches. The display measures a short 0.75-inch in depth--a considerably thin measurement--although not as thin as the 0.5-inch of the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370, but much thinner than the Dell SP2309W that measures more than 2 inches thick. The screen has a matte finish and the neck of the display measures nearly 4 inches in height. The rectangular footstand is 11.8 inches wide and 7.1 inches deep, and even with such a wide footstand the display wobbles considerably when pushed; however, never felt in danger of toppling, mostly because of its relatively short neck and flat footstand.
