welcome to my unboxing of what looks like the same product that I unboxed
before the XL
2420t from Ben Q with Heaton and spawn
featured on the cover but this one is slightly more different in a way that is
actually kind of cool so so this guy is
the 2420 TX which is basically very
similar to the 2420t it's the same basic monitor except for a couple things one
is it includes NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses
version two we got all our included cables power DVI VGA we've got our quick
start guide okay so this is all pretty much part for the course at this point
we have our base station so this is a 120 HZ LCD not only is it 120 HZ but it
also has the firmware that supports NVIDIA light boost here's a little
sleeve for your glasses to keep them in as well as a 3D Vision Kickstart guide
don't forget guys for 3D Vision you will need an a supported NVIDIA graphics card
although this kit means that you'll have the correct monitor as well as the
correct glasses at the very least next we've got this is for navigating your
monitors uh on screen menu as well as for changing
between different profiles that you might prefer for different games or
different genres of games this is a dust cover which is the most like strange
thing because this one and the regular 2420t are like the only monitors
produced in the last 10 years probably that come with a dust
cover you'll figure right and then next
we have the stand so this has its red accents it clips into here just like
this oh no not like
that flips in somewhere like something that's for
sure that must be it yep you can you can
actually tell from the arrows that are lined up on the bottom here a little
arrow there and that is how we know that it is in the right place so next we take
out the packing foam and extract the monitor itself
where which is where we're going to find the next cool thing about this
particular screen if you guys remember from my unboxing of a SS's 3D Vision 2
monitor the uh yeah where is it there we go
theirs has a built-in transmitter that allows you to run 3D
Vision Without that little uh sorry guys
it's hard to like construct things and talk at the same time actually um so I'm
just going to finish building the moner and then I'll talk there we go so the
ASUS model has a built-in transmitter so you don't have to use that little
pyramid thing in order to use 3D Vision
this guy has it as well although I'd say it's actually even more elegantly
implemented so let's go around to the front of the monor um okay fine we'll
start here so cameraman wants to see all the adjustments we can make so we've got
our pivot so I'll try not to sort of cream him with the monitor here okay
we've got our height adjustable we've got our pivot
only goes one way and uh oh yeah this
guy tilt there you go so you got pretty much everything which is good because
it's a fairly expensive monitor All Things Considered let's go here aha
there we are here we find uh USB hub we
find USB in we find two HDMI inputs DVI
in that's uh dual link DVI because 120 HZ monitors do require uh greater data
flow than not 12 HZ monitors at 1080p
VGA as well as DisplayPort so it should
be noted also about this monitor that it supports 3D over HDMI so if you have a
Playstation 3 or a 3D ready Blu-ray player oh yeah that's one of the other
features this one has that the 2420 does not this guy supports 3D over HDMI so
whatever kind of 3D output device you output it to this display and you are
ready to rock so there there is our transmitter so very very elegantly
saluted uh elegantly implemented little
tiny uh infrared transmitter right on the front of the monitor there very
innocuous uh next uh and it's beside the touch
sensitive buttons although honestly on this monitor I wouldn't really use that
because you just plug this guy into the little USB port on this side over here
which you guys saw at the bottom and that is what you can use to control your
onscreen display you scroll through things like that you press the buttons
and in order to navigate so that's kind of cool as
well I think that covers it except for
on this side here we go two more USB ports as
well as a headphone jack so that's only useful if you're transmitting audio via
HDMI so there you go you can pass that through to your
headphones uh right which sit on the stand at the back here in fact we have
some steel series headphones right here so we can show you how that works looks just like that pretty cool right I think
that pretty pretty much covers it so it's a 1080p 3D Vision 2 ready monitor
that is also compatible with other 3D devices like your Blu-ray player or
whatever else and it is light boost
ready did I already say light boost said it a couple times whatever it's light
boost ready comes with the 3D Vision 2 glasses comes with the integrated
transmitter and is otherwise pretty much the same as the 2420t so thank you for
checking out this unboxing of the 2420 TX for you RC Geeks out there you might
know that TX is also short for transmitter and don't forget to
subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer
videos cameraman who's uh filling in for slick today insisted that I demo the
monitor with the dust cover and there's
also something I missed it took cameraman to notice this you see these
grooves on the outside of the little control module check this out it is
magnetic and it sticks right there and you can actually put
it on either side of the monitor so it's a lot more aesthetically pleasing when
do it that way than when you just have it kind of laying there on the desk so
now I think we're done
