BenQ FP2081
The BenQ FP2081 is certainly one of the more dated looking LCDs here, its style similar to that of the LCDs we reviewed last year.
Unlike the majority of the 18in+ LCD's submitted the BenQ FP2081 does not include a display swivel feature that allows the operator to switch from landscape to portrait mode. For many users this may not be such a concern.
The BenQ has connectors for both composite and S-video, with an input button on the front allowing the operator to switch between input modes. This can be very handy if the monitor is to be used in a boardroom or training/educational environment to show videos.
The brightness, contrast, and colours were excellent, but unfortunately the BenQ display suffers from quite a lot of pixelation and artifacts during fast-moving video sequences. This seems to reinforce the original perception that the monitor is an older model.

Did you even review these montiors? How you could get such a fundamental thing wrong is beyond me.
