BenQ FP202W

review

By Loyd Case

The BenQ FP202W is yet another 20-inch widescreen display vying for your hard-earned cash. As a desktop display, this flat-screen LCD takes a minimalist approach to its design: It lacks TV inputs and even USB ports, though you do get standard VGA and DVI connections (without HDCP). But for $500, size is what matters here, and you won't get a 20-inch widescreen for any less.

Bottom Line

For the price, this LCD disappoints because of ho-hum image quality and lack of creature comforts.

Pros

Fast response time. Relatively low cost. Compact size and light weight. Good backlight uniformity.

Cons

Poor grayscale tracking. Poor image quality out of the box. No height or swivel adjustment. On-screen display annoying to use.

Welcome to a revolutionary new dimension in LCD TV technology. With a depth of less than one inch at its thinnest point, and a contrast ratio of 1 million to 1, the AQUOS Limited Edition Series is the culmination of 35 years of Sharp’s LCD innovation. Unmatched picture quality, ultra-thin design, and low energy consumption: it will change the way you watch TV. Part of Sharp’s line of 120 Hz LCD TVs.
