Cheap 19" LCD

Benq was an Acer spinoff.

As for the monitor I've actually have heard good things about it. ok refresh rate (16ms) and DVI output. only thing I've heard is that the color can be somewhat washed out but they may have had the screen too bright from the jump. for that price you cant really go wrong.

does that mean it's a rebadged acer? my acer 19" lcd has been great so far
 
its likely, but the entire spinoff was weird. Acer basically spun off the manufacturing (BenQ) and their laptop business (Wistrom) and then started them up again basically. It was likely a move to make money so technically they are competing against each other but they are the same family.

iirc it was to distance themselves from the acer name after a huge class action suit in the mid to late 90's
