BenQ Releases 27-inch FullHD GW2760HS Thin Bezel Monitor
BenQ has released a thin-bezel, high quality LED VA panel based 27" monitor.
BenQ has released a 27-inch VA panel that is optimized for low leakage and has a beautifully thin bezel just 11.5 mm wide. The GW2760HS makes up part of the GW series, which has a minimalistic design and backlighting that is meant to be flicker free.
To make the back lighting flicker free BenQ has opted not to equip the screen with PWM based backlight scaling, but rather an analogue system. This should considerably reduce the amount of perceived micro-stuttering. Backlighting is done by LEDs that produce a maximum brightness of 300 cd/m2.
BenQ's new monitor comes with a 1920 by 1080 resolution, and due to the low leakage VA-panel the screen offers a static contrast of 3000:1, a truly impressive number. The dynamic contrast is stated to be 20,000,000:1. BenQ boasts about 178 degree bi-directional viewing angles. Lastly the GW2760HS has a 4 ms gray-to-gray response time, making it suitable for gaming.
The unit has three inputs, HDMI, DVI, and VGA. It also has built in 1 W stereo speakers along with a headphone out jack.
BenQ's GW2760HS will hit the market in April, with an MSRP of €269, roughly $350.

As much as I agree that the resolution should be higher on this display and perhaps it should have a lower price, it's only fair to mention how resolution isn't everything. This monitor has far better contrast than any 40" TV and it probably has many other advantages in picture quality, especially against TVs.
Tom's, why did you remove the edit function from the article comments !?
Building flat frames shouldn't be hard at all, but maybe the multi-monitor market isn't big enough in order for these companies to start marketing and selling such stuff.
You can, but it is harder to fix now. Go to the forums section at the top of the page, scroll to the bottom to the comments section and select news. You'll see this post there with all the edit options.
EDIT: I just did what I described above and it worked.

I tried that. It lets me view things as if it's a forum, but it still hides any editing options from newer news and review articles (oddly, I can edit stuff in old articles such as the article from when Tom's did their MiniITX build a while back) in the forum view.

I don't know why you can't, but look at my first reply to you. It has now been edited.

Weird
I'll try clearing cookies and stuff like that. Maybe it'll fix my problem.

You might have to try all 3 edit buttons (why do they need 3 edit buttons?). I used the full edit button, but update and quick edit are all options.
I'm frozen in time, no monitor upgrades, no Windows update past 7, no CPU or mobo update past Sandybridge i7, no GPU update until 800 series is released.
