Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

The M2400HD is a 24in 16:9 monitor with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080. It uses active-matrix twisted-nematic, a type of LCD panel that – thanks to its fast response time – is better-associated with gaming monitors than video ones.

However, its shape, resolution and HDMI 1.3 input make it clear that HD movie watching is also within its sights.

The M2400HD has a stylish white case with a removable foot, and connections including HDMI, DVI, VGA, stereo audio, USB2 and headphone. VESA sockets on the back mean it can be wall-mounted or arm-mounted.

There's loads of competition in this market, and no doubt other manufacturers will be competing at this screen shape and size, but BenQ is certainly setting the pace with eye-catching product.
