The LCD monitor fad seems to have finally caught up with the aam junta. I say this because every second PC config that is being handed out today (by local system integrators) includes one; and not just any, but at least a 19-inch wide-screener.
Launched recently, the T201WA is now one of the options available in the market. We got a sample for the same a few days back and here's how it is.

The Monitor
Standing tall (and wide), the BenQ T201WA measures 396.7x479.6x169.9mm (WxHxD) and sports a 20.1-inch WSXGA+ screen. The monitor features a silver matte finish while the sturdy plastic base comes in black.
2 speakers lie hidden behind a small grille at the bottom on the face of the monitor. It has an option to connect headphones as well (in case you feel like not disturbing anyone around).
The OSB buttons are lined up neatly just below the screen making them easy to access.

The back on the panel houses the Power, D-Sub and an Audio Out connector.
To start with the techspeak, the T201WA has a 5ms response time, it supports a maximum resolution of 1680x1050 pixels and can reproduce 16.2 million colors. It has a pixel pitch of 0.258 mm, contrast ratio pegged at 1000:1, and brightness of 250 cd/m2.
It operates at a frequency of 31- 83 KHz (H) and 56 - 76 KHz (V) and gives a video bandwidth of 25 - 165 MHz.
There's one thing worth a mention here -- the BenQ website carries a different looking monitor from what we have here but carries the same name. We have spoken to the people from BenQ and they have assured us that the T201WA selling in India is the one that is being reviewed here, and not the one that is mentioned on their website.
