Envision launches 'cheap' 24-inch monitor [updated]

Display maker Envision has released a new, relatively low-cost LCD monitor with high-end performance, the G416. The 24-inch monitor supports resolutions up to 1900x1200 (above 1080p), and boasts a 5ms response time with 400cd/m2 brightness and 3,000:1 dynamic contrast. It displays in a 16:10 widescreen ratio, and can be VESA mounted to a wall for maximum space. The monitor's main limitation is that it lacks an HDMI port, preventing it from accepting full HD from some AV equipment such as game consoles; users must instead connect through DVI-D, or settle for RGB analog. The G416 is available now through Envision's online store for $400. [pricing updated
