As we all know, in the future things will by asymmetrical and cool, not round and perfect with rings like the Jetsons. BenQ is leading the charge on this front, although I think their claims of the monitor sharing “the aerodynamic curves of the B-2 stealth bomber” are exaggerated. Its specs though seem genuine and excellent: 2ms grey-to-grey response time, 4000:1 “dynamic contrast ratio” which I’d like to see to believe, 1920×1200 res with 0.27 pixel pitch.

It’s a good looking display to be sure (and at 2.44″, thinner than my Dell) but I would withhold judgment until I see it in action.
