Ebook reader seems to be the next big thing in gadgets with everyone from startups to giants want to get a piece of the pie. While it remains to be seen whether the ebook reader market will grow to the extent these companies are expecting it to be, it hasn’t stopped BenQ from being the latest contender in the market.

BenQ has just announced their entry with their nReader device which will debut in Taiwan in January along with an online ebook store. The ebook reader device will later go on sale in Japan and China. The ebook readers currently in the market are the extremely expensive Amazon Kindle and Sony’s Reader series. Many others will be launching e-reader devices the coming year, at around the $150 price level.

Samsung is not the only company to tackle the green minded, as it looks like BenQ is shifting to an environment conscious policy by announcing the newBenQ V-series Eco Displays. Measuring in at 24- and 21.5-inches for the new BenQ V2400 Eco and V2200 Eco, respectively, both widescreens are expected to rope in the latest in monitor LED technology.
Both the Full HD 1080p V2400 Eco and Full HD 1080p V2200 Eco are designed with zero light leakage and offer an ultra-high dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 for intense blacks and extreme whites. And talking about the name, the new BenQ V-series displays feature the Eco technology that ensures 30-percent less power-consumption with no sacrifice in visual acuity.
The displays have a 28% recycled plastic frame and are being delivered in a recycled carton made from 80% recycled paper material, printed with 70% less ink. Both the V2400 Eco and V2200 Eco will be available in China starting this month.

There is something about an all-in-one PC that you love for its multi-functional ability and a part of it that you hate for the power it would suck up when used that way… Irony of life! Though looking beyond, here’s the brand new nScreen i91 that made its debut recently as the first even all-in-one PC from BenQ. The i91 sports a nice 18.5-inch screen that can incidentally double up as a gigantic photo frame, has a virtual magnifier for tiny text and a senior mode that dampens high sound frequencies. Must be the perfect gift for your grandpa who keeps shouting to keep the volume down and to tone the text up. Isn’t it? [via Ubergizmo]
