00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,839
today we're going to be having a look at a pretty cool product from BenQ now we

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:11,880
recently looked at a 24-in monitor from BenQ that had a VA panel and an LED

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,880
backlight but this one's a little bit different it has some additional

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:21,560
features so this is the BL 2400 pu it is

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:24,359
also a 24 in VA panel with LED back

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:29,400
lighting however it also has some other cool features so let's get this guy

7
00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:30,599
opened up and have a quick boo inside

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,440
shall we so the first thing we are going to find

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,200
is hey look at this BenQ is switching to a more eco-friendly packaging they're

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:44,600
using uh they're using a diecut cardboard insert in order to give you

11
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:48,719
the uh the best biodegradability possible and you can actually see

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,760
they're using like they're using uh double they're doubling up on the

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,520
cardboard in a lot of the areas to make sure that you've got really good

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:01:00,600
rigidity to this overall I mean that's that's outstanding

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,799
actually there's a lot be learned from packaging like this actually I mean I

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,720
know I I talk about the Box a lot these days but you unbox enough products and

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,040
it starts to just sort of come natural so here's the base here we've got our

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:17,040
rubber feed on the bottom so that the monitor is not going to slip around we've got a pretty standard little uh

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,000
screw in for attaching the Monitor and then it sits kind of like that okay so

20
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:25,720
that's the first piece we find inside the box next we're going to go ahead and

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,799
remove oh actually no first we're going to find uh disc okay I've never been

22
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:36,399
able to understand why a monitor comes with with a disc so we just get rid of

23
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,759
that and let's take this out so oh not

24
00:01:36,399 --> 00:01:43,200
quite oh accessories okay here I am I keep wanting to take out the packaging

25
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:44,600
but I can't do it yet we have a USB A2B

26
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:50,000
cable so that's going to be for the built-in USB hub we have a power cord we

27
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,600
have an audio cord it does have built-in speakers and then we also have an

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,880
included VGA cable okay so we'll go

29
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:02,920
ahead and throw those back in there and then now we can take this look at that

30
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:06,479
it all comes out in like one elaborate piece you know somebody probably has to

31
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:11,920
fold this by hand I'm telling you that's that's

32
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,239
probably how it works so then we find

33
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,879
the monitor itself and this is where things start to get a little bit more

34
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:24,280
exciting because I've already given away the big secret which is the VA panel and

35
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:29,920
the LED backlight but what I haven't told you is that this monitor also has

36
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,560
some pretty unique connectivity op option so I'm going to go ahead and

37
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:38,080
attach the base just for the sake of showing you how simple it is so

38
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,760
hopefully I can make it look pretty simple here otherwise we're going to be

39
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,480
in for a bit of a rough show all right

40
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:50,959
here we go so we're just going to go ahead take the base position it in there

41
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,319
just like that and then we're going to tip it

42
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:59,959
up all right so that's pretty straightforward and then we're just going to screw it in and hopefully this

43
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,599
works you can use a screwdriver but you can probably get it tight enough by hand

44
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,920
anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about it and there we go that was the

45
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,120
whole assembly process for this monitor

46
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,400
so I want to show you a few things right off the bat first of all there is a

47
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:18,440
built-in USB hub so if you go and look on the right hand side of the monitor

48
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,720
here you've got four USB ports so that was what that A to B cable was for you

49
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:26,599
just plug from here into the back of your computer and that's going to be your Hub right there that looks like

50
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,640
it's going to be a passive Hub not or passive a non-powered hub so you're only

51
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:36,159
going to be using things like keyboards and mice I wouldn't expect to be powering a bunch of 2 and 1/2 in you

52
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:40,080
know hard drives or anything off of it okay next we've got the options for all

53
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:45,640
of this stuff so we're going to press in here and oh okay hold on let's see if I

54
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:51,799
can figure this out oh okay hold on we got to tear this off

55
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:54,079
first and then we can lift yes there we

56
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:58,959
go so that's for uh security and shipping okay let me just go ahead and

57
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,319
ah yes okay well I put the base on before taking that off so that won't

58
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,799
work quite as well uh but you can see that it actually adjusts up quite High

59
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,360
cameraman if you want to step back and have like a quick uh look at the monitor

60
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,840
itself so it adjusts all the way from way down low like this all the way up

61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,400
like that so uh you can pretty much adjust it to whatever is ergonomically

62
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:27,400
comfortable for you this monitor also has a uh side to side option okay you

63
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:28,680
can tilt it up and down just like that

64
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:34,240
actually here you want to grab it from the side so that I can show you just how

65
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:37,960
much you are able to tilt it so depending where you're sitting you can

66
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,600
sit and look up at your monitor like this or you can sit up here and look

67
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:48,759
down at it you have all the options in the world available to you and if you

68
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:56,639
view a lot of photos or anything like that you can also go ah there we go 90°

69
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,280
to the side and have it in portrait mode so while we got it in portrait mode why

70
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,600
don't we have a quick look at the connectivity that I was talking about so

71
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:08,440
here we got our power button right there and then our speaker bar is running all

72
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:14,840
along the oh no it isn't my bad the speakers are actually here on the bottom

73
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,840
but here we go right here there's our

74
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:21,280
power oh here's all the buttons cameraman's trying to show you that I

75
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:23,479
guess that's Justified so here is enter

76
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:28,000
here's the brightness adjustment this looks like uh something else menu and

77
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:34,240
auto so I'm sure once you have the on screen display up you'll be able to figure out what all of those do fairly

78
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:38,120
easily here's our power in and then

79
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:41,919
finally we have uh audio in headphone

80
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:45,680
and DisplayPort how's that for cool we

81
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:46,880
have finally a good value DisplayPort

82
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:55,319
monitor that offers a VA panel an LED

83
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:58,479
backlight a pretty slick looking design

84
00:05:55,319 --> 00:06:01,240
and a price point that isn't ridiculous

85
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:05,280
so that is pretty darn cool and I'd say that's sort of feature number one I mean

86
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:09,319
the ifinity guys are going to go nuts over a monitor like this because you

87
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:12,639
don't have to use any expensive adapters you can just grab three of these

88
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:17,360
monitors and boom you got ifinity with uh three times HD resolution we've also

89
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,720
got your standard DVI and VGA inputs we got a Kensington lock on the back and

90
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,919
you can see we've got a standard fourpoint screw mounting system so you

91
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:27,560
can actually ARM mount this monitor or hey if you want to run it in Infinity

92
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:33,120
you can even get one of those triple monitor mounts so thank you for checking

93
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:37,039
out the unboxing and first look at this

94
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,000
