1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,520
I feel like Gamers either get treated like the most Discerning customers a

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,000
perfect example being the way that the vast majority of mechanical keyboards a

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:16,199
product category that is just better all around not just for gamers are targeted

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:22,039
at Gamers and then other times they get treated like Chumps who will buy

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,359
anything with LEDs on it and words like

6
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:28,160
optimized for gaming on the box and I could point at any number of horrible

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:36,079
Cheapo gaming peripherals to make that point so what is the BenQ RL 2460 HT

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,440
gaming monitor is it optimized for gaming in some meaningful way or are you

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,239
expected to drop your hard-earned money on a product that's made for gaming in

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,480
the same way that a particular energy drink might claim to be made for gaming

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,680
because in my experience unless that energy drink doesn't make you have to

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,039
pee in the middle of a match it ain't any better for gaming than anything

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,680
else Cooler Master nepton Series CPU coolers

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,880
are available in a variety of radiator sizes to perfectly suit your next build

15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:14,119
click now to learn more all right so let's start with the

16
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:20,280
specs for this followup to Ben Q's highly successful

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:23,240
rl2455 hm it boasts a 24in 1920 x 1080

18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:27,600
60 HZ TN panel with a flicker-free so that is to say DC controlled LED

19
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,360
backlight and 1 millisecond gr gr pixel response times that seems pretty

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,280
believable given how little smearing I noticed both in and out of games during

21
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:42,479
my time with the monitor first up is ergonomic adjustments to the completely

22
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:47,880
inadequate just tilt on the 2455 the

23
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:50,520
2460 adds swivel height adjust and even

24
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:55,479
pivot all that stuff helps make the relatively narrow viewing angles

25
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:57,520
inherent to TN monitors more tolerable

26
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:02,840
since you can adjust it easily to look at the monitor as straight on as as

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,159
possible and for someone who might be carrying the monitor with a PC or a

28
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,800
console to game in different locations it's a big bonus from both an ergonomic

29
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:14,120
and a convenience standpoint because I don't know about you but when I need to

30
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:19,599
plug in something to the bottom of a monitor I'm always thankful if it's got

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,200
pivot so I can much more easily reach everything and I guess since we're down

32
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,920
here um optimization number two is the inputs there's power in and an analog

33
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,000
audio pass through for you know the unsp special but convenient integrated stereo

34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,840
speakers then moving over to display inputs things get more interesting

35
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:44,519
however you might feel about PC Gamers or console Gamers the reality is that

36
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:49,319
lots of people use both so benq's inclusion of a couple of Auto selecting

37
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,480
HDMI inputs to go along with DVI and VGA

38
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:55,879
is a nice touch I would have liked to see DisplayPort since that's the

39
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:00,599
direction the industry is headed but this third HDMI plug here is actually

40
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:05,760
more interesting in some ways it's a straight pass through connector that can

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,360
be used in a few ways if you're a game streamer and you want to capture footage

42
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:15,560
it allows you to go directly from the source to the monitor to eliminate any

43
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:20,640
potential latency from a capture device without creating cable clutter with an

44
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:25,120
HDMI splitter if you're say for example a competitive fighting game player and

45
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,360
or you hate screen sharing then you can have whoever you're playing with plug in

46
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,680
a separate monitor this one's just running straight through this one to the

47
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:37,360
HDMI out and sit across from you or next to you looking at their own screen

48
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,760
whatever works for you and finally if you just want to broadcast what you're

49
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:45,480
doing to a nearby TV or projector let's

50
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:50,439
say you're organizing a small tournament at a land with some Spectators well this

51
00:03:47,959 --> 00:03:55,680
is a super easy way to handle that as well all of this would just be for show

52
00:03:53,439 --> 00:04:00,040
though if the pass through added any leg or was a bear to configure but it's cool

53
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,640
it just automatically clones which ever of the two HTMI inputs is active and

54
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:09,360
adds no latency that we were able to measure with our Leo Bodner input leg

55
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,879
tester pretty cool not everything about the monitor is perfect though the

56
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:18,359
on-screen display has a ton of useful options including the usual you know

57
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,440
brightness contrast Etc full RGB for PCs

58
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:25,560
or limited RGB for consoles and media devices instant mode which reduces input

59
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,880
leg and automatic switch option for HDMI inputs motion blur compensation

60
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,960
adjustment that I'd recommend leaving at default settings a variety of scaling

61
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:37,639
modes for old school Gamers and a wide variety of preset image profiles that

62
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,479
you can check out if you're into making the image look generally like ass to get

63
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:46,880
a Competitive Edge something some people are into but in spite of all of those

64
00:04:44,919 --> 00:04:51,520
options being really good I just found it kind of cumbersome and slow to

65
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,800
navigate this is aided by the ability to assign custom functions to three of the

66
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:00,320
buttons for things that you use often but I just wish navigation was snappier

67
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:05,120
overall especially coming from the Rog Swift's Lightning Fast onscreen menus of

68
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,199
course comparing it to a monitor that costs several times more isn't exactly

69
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,800
fair so let's evaluate the rl2460ht for

70
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:16,759
what it is a TN monitor targeted at Gamers who are willing to trade higher

71
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:20,720
refresh rates something that will definitely give you a competitive

72
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:25,960
Advantage for Creature Comforts like better ergonomics and IO but who aren't

73
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:31,199
interested in the color and viewing angle advantages that an IPS or a VA

74
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:36,160
display will give them so not my personal Top Choice but I definitely see

75
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:41,400
the value of it particularly for console Gamers who won't benefit from higher

76
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,840
refresh rates anyway guys thanks for
