WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.520 I feel like Gamers either get treated like the most Discerning customers a 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:11.000 perfect example being the way that the vast majority of mechanical keyboards a 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:16.199 product category that is just better all around not just for gamers are targeted 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:22.039 at Gamers and then other times they get treated like Chumps who will buy 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.359 anything with LEDs on it and words like 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:28.160 optimized for gaming on the box and I could point at any number of horrible 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:36.079 Cheapo gaming peripherals to make that point so what is the BenQ RL 2460 HT 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.440 gaming monitor is it optimized for gaming in some meaningful way or are you 00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:44.239 expected to drop your hard-earned money on a product that's made for gaming in 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:48.480 the same way that a particular energy drink might claim to be made for gaming 00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:51.680 because in my experience unless that energy drink doesn't make you have to 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.039 pee in the middle of a match it ain't any better for gaming than anything 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:05.680 else Cooler Master nepton Series CPU coolers 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:09.880 are available in a variety of radiator sizes to perfectly suit your next build 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:14.119 click now to learn more all right so let's start with the 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:20.280 specs for this followup to Ben Q's highly successful 00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:23.240 rl2455 hm it boasts a 24in 1920 x 1080 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:27.600 60 HZ TN panel with a flicker-free so that is to say DC controlled LED 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:31.360 backlight and 1 millisecond gr gr pixel response times that seems pretty 00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.280 believable given how little smearing I noticed both in and out of games during 00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:42.479 my time with the monitor first up is ergonomic adjustments to the completely 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:47.880 inadequate just tilt on the 2455 the 00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:50.520 2460 adds swivel height adjust and even 00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:55.479 pivot all that stuff helps make the relatively narrow viewing angles 00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:57.520 inherent to TN monitors more tolerable 00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:02.840 since you can adjust it easily to look at the monitor as straight on as as 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:07.159 possible and for someone who might be carrying the monitor with a PC or a 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:10.800 console to game in different locations it's a big bonus from both an ergonomic 00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:14.120 and a convenience standpoint because I don't know about you but when I need to 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 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:24.200 pivot so I can much more easily reach everything and I guess since we're down 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:29.920 here um optimization number two is the inputs there's power in and an analog 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:34.000 audio pass through for you know the unsp special but convenient integrated stereo 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:38.840 speakers then moving over to display inputs things get more interesting 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:44.519 however you might feel about PC Gamers or console Gamers the reality is that 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:49.319 lots of people use both so benq's inclusion of a couple of Auto selecting 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:51.480 HDMI inputs to go along with DVI and VGA 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:55.879 is a nice touch I would have liked to see DisplayPort since that's the 00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:00.599 direction the industry is headed but this third HDMI plug here is actually 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:05.760 more interesting in some ways it's a straight pass through connector that can 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 00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:15.560 it allows you to go directly from the source to the monitor to eliminate any 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:20.640 potential latency from a capture device without creating cable clutter with an 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:25.120 HDMI splitter if you're say for example a competitive fighting game player and 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.360 or you hate screen sharing then you can have whoever you're playing with plug in 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:32.680 a separate monitor this one's just running straight through this one to the 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:37.360 HDMI out and sit across from you or next to you looking at their own screen 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:42.760 whatever works for you and finally if you just want to broadcast what you're 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:45.480 doing to a nearby TV or projector let's 00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:50.439 say you're organizing a small tournament at a land with some Spectators well this 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 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 00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:04.640 it just automatically clones which ever of the two HTMI inputs is active and 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:09.360 adds no latency that we were able to measure with our Leo Bodner input leg 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.879 tester pretty cool not everything about the monitor is perfect though the 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:18.359 on-screen display has a ton of useful options including the usual you know 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:20.440 brightness contrast Etc full RGB for PCs 00:04:18.359 --> 00:04:25.560 or limited RGB for consoles and media devices instant mode which reduces input 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.880 leg and automatic switch option for HDMI inputs motion blur compensation 00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:33.960 adjustment that I'd recommend leaving at default settings a variety of scaling 00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:37.639 modes for old school Gamers and a wide variety of preset image profiles that 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 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:46.880 a Competitive Edge something some people are into but in spite of all of those 00:04:44.919 --> 00:04:51.520 options being really good I just found it kind of cumbersome and slow to 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.800 navigate this is aided by the ability to assign custom functions to three of the 00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:00.320 buttons for things that you use often but I just wish navigation was snappier 00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:05.120 overall especially coming from the Rog Swift's Lightning Fast onscreen menus of 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:10.199 course comparing it to a monitor that costs several times more isn't exactly 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:12.800 fair so let's evaluate the rl2460ht for 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:16.759 what it is a TN monitor targeted at Gamers who are willing to trade higher 00:05:14.919 --> 00:05:20.720 refresh rates something that will definitely give you a competitive 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:25.960 Advantage for Creature Comforts like better ergonomics and IO but who aren't 00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:31.199 interested in the color and viewing angle advantages that an IPS or a VA 00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:36.160 display will give them so not my personal Top Choice but I definitely see 00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:41.400 the value of it particularly for console Gamers who won't benefit from higher 00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:42.840 refresh rates anyway guys thanks for 00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:46.800 watching
