Belinea is a brand of computer monitors manufactured by Maxdata that are primarily sold in Europe. The name first appeared in 1991. Belineas are known for their unique appearance with a big blue power button and three grey control buttons. Belinea model numbers are usually two-digit triplets, e.g. "10 20 20" (A 15" CRT model). Belinea also manufacture computer units and notebook computers.

Maxdata and Belinea are now bankrupt. The German computer manufacturer filed for insolvency proceedings at the Local Court in Essen on the 25th of June 2008. The immense pressure of the APAC low cost competition and the huge fall in prices in the IT industry have affected Maxdata for some years now. The company has suffered a heavy decline in turnover and results. Despite a restructuring initiative introduced in 2006 the turnaround could not be achieved in 2007 or in the first half of 2008 leading to the winding up of proceedings.
