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

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

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.880
backlight but this one's a little bit different it has some additional

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:21.560
features so this is the BL 2400 pu it is

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:24.359
also a 24 in VA panel with LED back

00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:29.400
lighting however it also has some other cool features so let's get this guy

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:30.599
opened up and have a quick boo inside

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:34.440
shall we so the first thing we are going to find

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:39.200
is hey look at this BenQ is switching to a more eco-friendly packaging they're

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:44.600
using uh they're using a diecut cardboard insert in order to give you

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:48.719
the uh the best biodegradability possible and you can actually see

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:51.760
they're using like they're using uh double they're doubling up on the

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:55.520
cardboard in a lot of the areas to make sure that you've got really good

00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:00.600
rigidity to this overall I mean that's that's outstanding

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.799
actually there's a lot be learned from packaging like this actually I mean I

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

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

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

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.000
screw in for attaching the Monitor and then it sits kind of like that okay so

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

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

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

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.759
that and let's take this out so oh not

00:01:36.399 --> 00:01:43.200
quite oh accessories okay here I am I keep wanting to take out the packaging

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.600
but I can't do it yet we have a USB A2B

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

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.600
have an audio cord it does have built-in speakers and then we also have an

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.880
included VGA cable okay so we'll go

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

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:06.479
it all comes out in like one elaborate piece you know somebody probably has to

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:11.920
fold this by hand I'm telling you that's that's

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.239
probably how it works so then we find

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.879
the monitor itself and this is where things start to get a little bit more

00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:24.280
exciting because I've already given away the big secret which is the VA panel and

00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:29.920
the LED backlight but what I haven't told you is that this monitor also has

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:33.560
some pretty unique connectivity op option so I'm going to go ahead and

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:38.080
attach the base just for the sake of showing you how simple it is so

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:43.760
hopefully I can make it look pretty simple here otherwise we're going to be

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.480
in for a bit of a rough show all right

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

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:54.319
just like that and then we're going to tip it

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

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:02.599
works you can use a screwdriver but you can probably get it tight enough by hand

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

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.120
whole assembly process for this monitor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:51.799
can figure this out oh okay hold on we got to tear this off

00:03:48.200 --> 00:03:54.079
first and then we can lift yes there we

00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:58.959
go so that's for uh security and shipping okay let me just go ahead and

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

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.799
work quite as well uh but you can see that it actually adjusts up quite High

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

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

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:19.400
like that so uh you can pretty much adjust it to whatever is ergonomically

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:27.400
comfortable for you this monitor also has a uh side to side option okay you

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:28.680
can tilt it up and down just like that

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

00:04:31.479 --> 00:04:37.960
much you are able to tilt it so depending where you're sitting you can

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

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

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°

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

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.600
don't we have a quick look at the connectivity that I was talking about so

00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:08.440
here we got our power button right there and then our speaker bar is running all

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

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:16.840
but here we go right here there's our

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:21.280
power oh here's all the buttons cameraman's trying to show you that I

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.479
guess that's Justified so here is enter

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:28.000
here's the brightness adjustment this looks like uh something else menu and

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

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:38.120
easily here's our power in and then

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:41.919
finally we have uh audio in headphone

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:45.680
and DisplayPort how's that for cool we

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:46.880
have finally a good value DisplayPort

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:55.319
monitor that offers a VA panel an LED

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:58.479
backlight a pretty slick looking design

00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:01.240
and a price point that isn't ridiculous

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

00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:09.319
the ifinity guys are going to go nuts over a monitor like this because you

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:12.639
don't have to use any expensive adapters you can just grab three of these

00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:17.360
monitors and boom you got ifinity with uh three times HD resolution we've also

00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:20.720
got your standard DVI and VGA inputs we got a Kensington lock on the back and

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.919
you can see we've got a standard fourpoint screw mounting system so you

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:27.560
can actually ARM mount this monitor or hey if you want to run it in Infinity

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:33.120
you can even get one of those triple monitor mounts so thank you for checking

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:37.039
out the unboxing and first look at this

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:39.000
