It's also flicker-free and has a Low Blue Light mode for lower eye fatigue

It seems that every new monitor this month has flicker-free and low blue light technology. It's like monitor and TV makers latched onto the one thing that could differentiate their products from the rest, and proceeded to all use it, thus eliminating any chance for variety. Again.

Not that I can blame them really. With displays so close together in terms of price-size ratio, not having one of these new features could be a deal breaker.

So what do the features do exactly? Basically, they reduce the strain on your eyes, making sure they tire more slowly during extended work or game sessions.

Flicker-Free backlighting means that the screen won't, well, flicker. It's not visible to the naked eye, but just try to watch a film recording of a running display. Then you'll see.

Low Blue Light Mode is just what it sounds like: a reduction in the intensity of the color blue from the RGB color spectrum.

The latest BenQ monitors to boast these assets is the IPS-based EZ2450L, whose other important traits are the 23.8-inch diagonal, 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution (Full HD), 178-degree viewing angles, and 4 ms GTG response time.

Everything else is pretty standard: 1,000:1 contrast, 250 cd/m2 brightness, two 2W speakers, D-Sub and dual-HDMI connectors, and MHL support (Mobile High-Definition Link, for streaming phone content to the big screen). Sadly, BenQ did not disclose the price of the EZ2450L.
