Thread: BenQ T201WA Monitor

The T201 WA has a nicely curved front bezel that immediately looks Jurassic because of its width. Finished in silver, the largish buttons in a neat row work well, but look and feel tacky. The large stand with curved sides is square and appears squat, whether its okay looking or downright ugly is up to you to decide. First up DisplayMate ran into issues during calibration, where the Intensity Range Check lost a lot of grey cards. While adjusting brightness helped reveal more, the background was no longer black. Next up, the colour tests revealed slight tonal imbalance, which we must say plagued nearly all the TN panel-based LCDs, regardless of whether we've individually mentioned this or not.



F.EAR saw some contrast issues, and a couple of issues of discolouration with certain darker hues like purple shadows, but overall nothing out of the ordinary. Both the games were sufficiently detailed and showed good overall effects. Our movie tests fared slightly better, and aside from a slight issue with insufficient contrast there were no other complaints. For Rs 10,500 the T201WA is cheap enough for a good home PC, or a multimedia and gaming PC, as long as you're not too discerning about quality. Its good build and typically industrial bulky looks will stand tall in the corporate environment as well.
