BenQ remains on green bandwagon, offers up LED-backlit G920WL and G922HDL displays
If the model names seem uninformative, here’s what you need to know — the G920WL is a 19-inch 1,440 x 900 display, and the G922HDL is the same, only shrunken down to 18.5-inches and 1,366 x 768. Both claim class-leading power efficiency (a staple for BenQ), with their Eco mode using only 10 and 11 watts, respectively. They come with the company’s newish SensEye 3 auto-calibration utility, 250 nits of brightness, 5 millisecond response time, and a real, non-dynamic 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Should you need more pixels and inches, BenQ will be all too happy to serve your appetite with its similarly “green” V series, which goes up to 24 inches. The new G models are set for immediate release in Europe and Asia at “compelling price points,” though BenQ remains mum on the possibility of North American availability.

We know you probably wouldn’t answer “What’s the perfect companion to a liquid-cooled PC?” with “a liquid-cooled light bulb,” but amazingly enough, that’s a viable answer starting today. Eternaleds is stepping up big with planet’s first liquid-cooled LED bulb, the HydraLux-4, which will arrive in warm white and daylight white and should save you bundles on your energy bill over the next score. The company asserts that these bulbs produce “360 degree lighting” and can emit the same amount of illumination as a 25W incandescent with just 4W of energy. Each bulb is rated for 35,000 hours of use, and considering that a single one costs only $1.75 per year to run (at eight hours per day), we suppose the stiff $34.99 sticker is somewhat warranted.Keywords: HouseholdEternaleds debuts world’s first liquid-cooled LED light bulb originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:17:00 EST.
