BenQ FP222WH 22in Widescreen LCD Monitor

Testing:

While conducting research on what program or piece of machinery to use to conduct a benchmark on a monitor, I was brought to the conclusion that it will cost approximately five thousand dollars to purchase any mechanical device that will correctly benchmark a monitor. So after some tedious hours of downloading different software generated benchmarks and painstakingly killing my eyes, I am glad to introduce the benchmark that OverclockersClub will use. The program is DisplayMate Multimedia Edition.
