Review of BenQ FP767 12ms by shoaibhaji

Advantages: Sharp Picture Quality
Disadvantages: Sound not very good

...This BenQ flatscreen monitor is one of the best flatscreen monitors on the market. The picture quality is sharp and the 12ms response time makes it event better. The seveneen inch flatscreen size is massive when compared to a 17 inch CRT monitor. One huge let down and disadvantage of this monitor is the sound output. The sound that the monitor gives out is not very loud. Even on the highest setting the it can be irritating watching DVD's and not being able to hear it very clearly Overall this monitor is of high quality but the built in speakers are not of the highest standard. this means that you will have to go out and buy another pair of speakers....

The Projector of The Gods
Review of BenQ MP611 by Drewdan

Advantages: Very bright, nice design, and briliant image quality
Disadvantages: Has to cool down before being unplugged, some plus projectors dont have this problem

...The BenQ MP611 is a fantasic projector. I use a lot of these projectors in work on a dialy basis. It Is a quiet unit and a very bright unit, it also ishigh resolution . The Projector is 2400 Lumens making it a perfect idea if you have that small amount of ambient light in your room that you cant quiet seem to get rid off. It has inputs for computers, XboX, DVD, Players and Video players and can be used for many purposes. This projector is sometimes used for home cinema and does a very good job at it, however for home cinema you will have to purchase a decent set of speakers to go with it. It is also commonly used for presentations and is a very good projector for that. The replacement lamps are avaliable quite cheap for this projector and are very easy to get hold of. BenQ support are also avaliable all hours of the day if you have any... Read review

BenQ External CD-RW - Plug & Burn!
Review of BenQ CRW 5232WI by Conga

Advantages: Speed, attractive, good tech. support
Disadvantages: old burning software

...If you are looking for an external CD-RW, BenQ's USB2.0 (USB 1.1 compatible) is a solid piece of equipment at a reasonable price for external drives. 52 speed CD write (providing your media and computer support this), 32 speed CD re-write and a 52 speed CD Rom drive. It's a nice looking drive and doesn't look out of place sitting next to your computer. BenQ even provide two vertical stands so it can be fitted into the smallest of spaces by standing it on it's side. Simply plug and burn! Set up is quick and simple. A floppy disc contains the drivers, but you don't need this if you are running Windows ME/2000/XP. Simply connect to power, connect with USB Cable (Supplied) and windows will install the driver. Within seconds you are up and running. Bundled software is the excellent Nero Express v5.5.10.26, which is a bit dated but I... Read review
