The BenQ MK2442 ranks amongst the increasingly popular combi-devices of PC monitor and TV set, which allows two interesting areas of application to be covered with one device.

As well as one analogue and one digital input for the PC (VGA, HDMI) the MK2442 also offers numerous inputs for analogue video signals which are otherwise generally found in the TV sector (Component, Composite, Scart and S-Video). In terms of panels, a TN type measuring 23.6 inches and with 16.7 million colours is used; this has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.

Gamers will take notice of the five millisecond response time indicated (grey to grey), whilst video and TV fans will be more interested in the Full-HD resolution, the 16:9 widescreen format and dynamic contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1. The maximum brightness of 300 cd/m˛ should be sufficient for use in almost all lighting conditions. The digital HDMI input supports the playback of copy-protected media via HDCP.

In responsen to its purpose as a TV set, the MK2442 has two integrated 5 watt speakers. In addition, the range of features includes numerous features that are usually seen in modern TV sets. An extensive remote control allows the image and sound to be adjusted without the need to make the changes directly on the monitor. The integrated DVB-T tuner is conveniently equipped with a sleep timer, child lock and Teletext.

In our detailed PRAD review, we wish to find out in particular whether this combination device can also convince in practical usage as a PC monitor and television.
