BenQ Launches a Full Range of Flicker-free Monitorsfor Added Eye Comfort, Visual Enjoyment and ProductivityFlicker-free Technology; Senseye Reading Mode; Eye Protect Sensor
BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle innovations and VA LED monitor expert, today announced the availability of Flicker-free technology across its monitor product range. While educating the public of eyestrain and Computer Vision Syndrome issues related to heavy use of computers and notebooks, the company has been actively seeking solutions to ease the viewing experience of all users. Now, with the added eye comfort and visual pleasure offered by the Flicker-free technology, computer users are able to not only reduce the risk of eyestrain but also enhance their work productivity. The same benefits are enjoyed by notebook users with the adoption of a BenQ Flicker-free monitor as an extended screen to their notebook displays, which may have higher tendencies to flicker than average computer monitors. Other features that complement BenQ Flicker-free monitors are the Senseye Reading Mode and the Eye Protect Sensor.
Flicker, or a flashing effect, occurs as the LED backlight controller of a monitor adjusts to the changes in brightness level. A regular monitor backlight can cause fast backlight flickering at 200Hz per second when brightness is reduced from the maximum level. When this happens, the human eye, sensitive to the slightest signals, strains the ciliary muscle trying to adjust to the nearly invisible flickering on the screen, causing users to experience eyestrain, eye fatigue, headaches or even myopia. BenQ’s new Flicker-free monitors adopt a unique De-flickering Backlight Circuit Controller for a zero-flickering viewing experience and in turn help reduce the eye health concerns raised by a fast-flickering display and/or prolonged usage of PCs and notebooks. The use of a Flicker-free monitor with a computer or a notebook offers a better view and a more comfortable viewing experience for all.
Other complementary ergo-related features of BenQ Flicker-free monitors include:
Senseye? Reading Mode that recreates the comfortable experience of reading actual books by adjusting the monitor’s color temperature and brightness levels, as well as balancing its contrast ratio and sharpness, to stimulate the look of paperback paper
Automatic Eye-Protect Sensor that detect ambient light levels and adjust the monitor brightness automatically throughout the day for optimized clarity and eye comfort
Height Adjustment Stand (HAS)* which allows you to find the best viewing angles for personal work or screen sharing with an extensive range of monitor adjustments — height, tilt, pivot, stroke and swivel.
Smart Reminder* that gently reminds users to take a break in a predefined time interval. The breaks not only keep users’ eyes comfortable and healthy, but also ensure desirable productivity.
Anti-Glare Display that avoids straining your eyes when the monitor faces a light source. With a matte-finished screen, you don’t need to deal with the annoying reflection.

“People experience the ocular and physical discomforts caused by Computer Vision Syndrome on a daily basis, and BenQ has taken on the mission to help create a better, healthier viewing experience, stressing the fact that the use of a good monitor is crucial not just for computer users but also for notebook users,” said Peter Chen, General Manager of BenQ’s Technology Product Center. “Today, we are proud to announce the new improvements made on our monitors. It’s really quite amazing that by spotting out a supposedly tiny issue and redesigning the controller to eliminate flickering, we are able to make a big difference as whole And, as a brand that brings together innovation, quality and enjoyment through technologies, we are more than thrilled to be the first to adopt a full range of eye-comforting, flicker-free monitors.”
The first BenQ flicker-free monitor, the GW2760HS, will be available worldwide in May. For more information, please visit www.BenQ.com.
