I am not sure why nobody metions PC GAMES in this one? In many games I play I don't see the 1920. 1080 res option, they only have 4:3 and 16:10 (plus the odd 1280. 1024). In this case, what are you going to do with a 16:9? Find path/hack for all games you play? Play at lower res with black bar on side?
How come Windows or Mac detects the monitor as 'BenQ LCD' instead of it's corresponding BenQ monitor model name? How does Eco sensor work? DriverTuner was created to save your time resolving driver problems by providing you with a single, automatic tool.
I think in some games when you try to display them with 16:9 res, you just get a starched 16:10 image. I am not sure why so many people want their monitor to work really well with console/bluray player and all, but not really care about PC? I do my gaming and movie on HDTV and prefer my monitor to work well with my PC application. From what I've seen, I'd much rather get another G2400W than a E2400HD. My old G2400W works great for most new application, and support older 4:3 games just fine. I am not sure why nobody metions PC GAMES in this one?

Under Windows I'm certain you can choose 1080p resolution.
It's true that some games will just stretch or black bar. I think Counter Strike Source had a 16:9 option and that's the only game I've ever seen with this option. It probably says more about my lack of PC gaming than gaming's lack of widescreen resolutions. It's also easier to manipulate game resolutions on a PC than it is on a games console (or entertainment system - think PS3 ). It's usually something like editing a text file and you're done. G2400W supports 1:1 pixel mapping, it's a good choice too. I am not sure why nobody metions PC GAMES in this one?

Probably MOST blue rays out there will still have bars. I have a DVD/BluRay collection into the thousands already and only probably 30% of them are HD Full Screen. There are multiple wide-screen modes. The Blu-ray movie is a 2.4:1 format. You will NEVER find a TV (untill they make a full anamorphic one) that will not have black bars on that.
If you go to a conventional 16:10 monitor, your bars will be even larger. There is no problem with your monitor causing these bars.
And if BenQ actually traded out the monitor just for this, they did it just to make you happy and that goes a huge way for showing their good customer service. Again, it's not the issue.

I just looked over your last post about it. Yea, that sounds odd.
Might be a bad batch somehow or something the shipper has done. Might not really be BenQ fault. Something to consider. Try a different shipper? Personally, I always go UPS instead of FedEx. I've only ever had one damaged package from UPS, I've had now 19 from FedEx, and I use UPS a ton more often. (And many of them from FedEx, the box looks fine, cause the REBOX it in generic material.) Maybe it's just my local hub that is the problem, but FedEx sucks for me.
Just a possibility. I finally got this monitor in proper condition, it's working very well.
The Dark Knight on blu ray looks stunning. I never noticed this but the film changes between 16:9 and a wider angle throughout the film! Most of the time i didn't even notice the film was doing that.
I thought it was a fault of the monitor but apparently that's just how the film was shot. I'm going to try and wall mount this tomorrow, I got the appropriate bracket for it today. I'm curious as to how on earth i'm going to get the part of the stand that's attached to the back of the monitor off - there seem to be no visible screws or clips - i can tell already that this is going to get me angry and frustrated again. Anyone have any idea how i'm going to get that thing off? The base is easy to put on and take off, but the part that is connected to the monitor looks impossible. Thanks, very useful thread we have here.
Just got my E2200HD a few days ago, and I'm very very happy with my purchase! I've been playing Need For Speed Undercover, Left 4 Dead, and Gears of War at 16:9 resolutions, and they all look amazing! Downloaded HD movies/trailers look great also. Btw, mine came with a dvi cable inside. Maybe it's the local dealer here in the Philippines who added the dvi cable, since it's not on the 'What's in the box' list in the user's manual. Will give you guys more feedback as the days go. I have finished initial testing with my father-in-law's new E2200HD which I purchased direct from BenQ because I was so pleased with my E2400HD.
After unpacking and setup, the default brightness on the 2200 was 90! OMG That's bright. Talk about bleed galore! But I turned it down to 30 (which I found to be good for my 24' and thought a good starting point for the 22').
Turns out to work very well. A week following the testing (24 hour on, changing images every 6 seconds through a barrage of 1080 images). I now went through the long process of finding pixels on the screen with a test image, and then they wipe right off. (I blame the dog for the dust.) Needless to say, Zero dead pixels. Colors on this monitor are great. And due to it's slightly smaller size and pixel size, image is just a hair crisper also as well as just a hair less color shifting due to the slightly shorter vertical size. Not to say that the 24' isn't near perfect (for a TN panel).
The 22' is just ever so slightly better strictly due to the smaller size and same pixel count. Infact, I considered giving him my 24' and keeping the 22'.
But it wasn't THAT much nicer. In the end, either monitor is a wow deal. I have heard of a few duds coming out but I have yet to see one or hear of one from my friends which I could confirm.
Obviously counting pixels is a crap shoot with any LCD but at least with these I've had excellent luck. The only issue with the 22' is the power button doesn't click like it does on the 24'. You just push it down (have to grab the bottom of the panel and squeze). I haven't checked yet to see if it's just a piece of foam under the button or something but nothing is obvious.
Button also still works just fine, just stiff. Otherwise, results are nearly exactly that I reported for the 24'. I'm very impressed. And paid full price! The bleed was a little harsh for the first few days but like my 24' went away during the burnin period. I finally got this monitor in proper condition, it's working very well. The Dark Knight on blu ray looks stunning.

The base is easy to put on and take off, but the part that is connected to the monitor looks impossible. So I just got my monitor yesterday, and I'll be pretty much completely satisfied after I get a couple questions answered.
This is my first LCD, so I don't know if this is normal or not, but when I first turned it on, when the screen was black, I could see some lighter areas on the screen making the black not so uniform. I tried putting some pressure on the area and eventually reduced the effect, though it's not perfect. Again, only on black screens. Is this normal for larger LCD screens? My guess is it was a bit mishandled at the factory or something. Second question's a bit simpler: what the hell does the AUTO button do? Does mine not work or does it only work on certain modes?
Right now I'm running Standard mode through a DVI. To potential buyers: don't let this deter you from picking this up.
I'm fairly anal with every little facet when making large purchases, and even these hiccups aren't stopping me from loving this monitor. It's the 16x9 24-incher to get.
