so Ben Q just keeps releasing product
after product that has unique cool
features and yeah seems like they don't get a lot of attention for it so today
we're going to be having a look at the VW 22420 H series LED monitor and what
makes this special is the fact that it is an LED backlit LCD mon monor with a
VA panel BenQ is claiming a 178° viewing angle which will be
outstanding if it actually is because that's uh very very good and benq's
whole thing is that they have all these features they have all these high-end
Technologies because remember it can be a fancy pants monitor with LED this and
adjustable stand that and pivot but at the end of the day if it's using a TM
panel it's only going to be as good as a TM panel which means that you're going to have kind of washed out looking
whites from some angles and then you know it's all dark from this angle so so
in terms of viewing angle in terms of color reproduction TN panels are never
going to be well okay I shouldn't say never I mean technology does things that
I don't understand but it's probably not going to be as good as a VA panel or an
IPS panel at any point in the near future so here we go BenQ comes right
out and they say look this is a VA panel
has a great viewing angle what else do they have to say for themselves on here
so uh are any of these English yeah yes here we go it's black the brightness is
250 nits the contrast is 3,00 to1 oh
look at that they rate their monitor both in terms of contrast and in terms
of dynamic contrast which they're saying is 20 million to one greater gray
response times of 8 milliseconds and in terms of inputs we've got VGA DV and
HDMI on the other side we find not a
whole lot okay let's go ahead and open it up I already cut it open just a
second
ago okay so the first thing we find inside is some foam foam is good foam
protects the
products okay I'm going to go ahead and try and remove that oh we also have a
base stand okay so here here's the amount of foam that will be protecting
your product this is important critical even because especially if you're
ordering from an online retailer such as ncx wow that's thin
nice um it will have to ship some Times
by camel other times by boat other times
by airplane or
donkey it'll have to reach you somehow and that packing can be the
difference between a dead monitor when it arrives and a working monitor when it
arrives all right here we have Ben Q
disc contents user manual Adobe Reader
thanks Ben Q I suppose okay next we have
a power cord which goes to to a power
brick which goes to a DC plug on the back of the monitor so you can tell
right away by the size of the power brick this is a very efficient Monitor
and you can also see why Ben Q chose to do external power for this monitor when
you take a closer look at it it only includes a VGA cable so you're going to
have to buy a DVI or an HDMI cable but
check this out very very
slim very SL looking little panel
here so here I'll show you guys the thickness comparison with the iPhone 4
just because I figure everyone probably knows about how thick an iPhone 4 is so
there you go there is your monitor not that much
thicker the world's first VA LED monitor
beautiful inside and out so it's a 24in monitor this is going to be 1080p so
that is full HD and you know what I'm going to need you guys to give me a
second here to peel all the plastic protectors off it so that I can show it
to you properly so just for the sake of letting you guys see the viewing angle a
little bit I've got 3D Mark 11 running right now I'm going to go ahead and just
kind of turn this it's actually really good so here you can look at it from the
side I'm going to turn it sort of slowly
back towards you and you're even looking at it top down right now which is less
good than looking at it straight on but it's still doing a pretty impressive job
I'm actually going to go ahead and borrow the camera from my assistant
today here and I'm going to go ahead and show you guys sort of top
down really really good I mean I'd say
178° is a bit of an exaggeration but here I'm just going to tilt this all the
way back but still very very impressive I
mean that's sort of my expectation with a quality VA panel anyway but it's just
good to see that they are living up to what they say they're trying to do with
this product um stand is pretty uh pretty normal I'd say it's uh a little
bit unique in that there's a gold Ben que normally the Ben Q logo is silver or
white and then there's a gold accent around the bottom of the monitor looks kind of nice uh down here the on screen
display are the onscreen controls Are all uh here so you got your enter right
left menu and Auto uh let's go ahead and look at the
back of the monitor so the back of the monitor not much to say there's just
your HDMI in your DVI in which I haven't screwed in correctly oops your VGA in
your headphone out so if you're using HDMI in you can listen on headphones and
then your power in and I think that's pretty much all I all the comments I
have on the VW 2420 like I said I really
don't think BenQ gets enough credit for some of the cool products they bring out
because they're one of the few manufacturers who's actually going to come out and say we are making this
using this kind of panel this is what you get when you buy this product almost
everyone else it's all playing playing around with you know
batch IDs and manufacturing dates in order to find out what it is that you're
actually going to get depending on who you're talking about so thank you for
