1
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:14,200
so Ben Q just keeps releasing product

2
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,960
after product that has unique cool

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,439
features and yeah seems like they don't get a lot of attention for it so today

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:27,080
we're going to be having a look at the VW 22420 H series LED monitor and what

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:33,280
makes this special is the fact that it is an LED backlit LCD mon monor with a

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:37,399
VA panel BenQ is claiming a 178° viewing angle which will be

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:43,079
outstanding if it actually is because that's uh very very good and benq's

8
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,920
whole thing is that they have all these features they have all these high-end

9
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:53,840
Technologies because remember it can be a fancy pants monitor with LED this and

10
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:57,039
adjustable stand that and pivot but at the end of the day if it's using a TM

11
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:02,079
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

12
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,080
whites from some angles and then you know it's all dark from this angle so so

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,560
in terms of viewing angle in terms of color reproduction TN panels are never

14
00:01:08,119 --> 00:01:13,400
going to be well okay I shouldn't say never I mean technology does things that

15
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:17,320
I don't understand but it's probably not going to be as good as a VA panel or an

16
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:23,560
IPS panel at any point in the near future so here we go BenQ comes right

17
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,159
out and they say look this is a VA panel

18
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:30,079
has a great viewing angle what else do they have to say for themselves on here

19
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:35,320
so uh are any of these English yeah yes here we go it's black the brightness is

20
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,720
250 nits the contrast is 3,00 to1 oh

21
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:40,200
look at that they rate their monitor both in terms of contrast and in terms

22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,079
of dynamic contrast which they're saying is 20 million to one greater gray

23
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:50,640
response times of 8 milliseconds and in terms of inputs we've got VGA DV and

24
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:53,040
HDMI on the other side we find not a

25
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,840
whole lot okay let's go ahead and open it up I already cut it open just a

26
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,840
second

27
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:07,290
ago okay so the first thing we find inside is some foam foam is good foam

28
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:09,479
protects the

29
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:16,080
products okay I'm going to go ahead and try and remove that oh we also have a

30
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,599
base stand okay so here here's the amount of foam that will be protecting

31
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:23,319
your product this is important critical even because especially if you're

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:30,200
ordering from an online retailer such as ncx wow that's thin

33
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:33,760
nice um it will have to ship some Times

34
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,840
by camel other times by boat other times

35
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,519
by airplane or

36
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,440
donkey it'll have to reach you somehow and that packing can be the

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:51,000
difference between a dead monitor when it arrives and a working monitor when it

38
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,239
arrives all right here we have Ben Q

39
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,720
disc contents user manual Adobe Reader

40
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,920
thanks Ben Q I suppose okay next we have

41
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,599
a power cord which goes to to a power

42
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:07,519
brick which goes to a DC plug on the back of the monitor so you can tell

43
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,239
right away by the size of the power brick this is a very efficient Monitor

44
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:16,560
and you can also see why Ben Q chose to do external power for this monitor when

45
00:03:14,799 --> 00:03:21,879
you take a closer look at it it only includes a VGA cable so you're going to

46
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:24,319
have to buy a DVI or an HDMI cable but

47
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:27,879
check this out very very

48
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:34,239
slim very SL looking little panel

49
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:38,480
here so here I'll show you guys the thickness comparison with the iPhone 4

50
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:43,879
just because I figure everyone probably knows about how thick an iPhone 4 is so

51
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:52,000
there you go there is your monitor not that much

52
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:54,280
thicker the world's first VA LED monitor

53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,519
beautiful inside and out so it's a 24in monitor this is going to be 1080p so

54
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,200
that is full HD and you know what I'm going to need you guys to give me a

55
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:06,519
second here to peel all the plastic protectors off it so that I can show it

56
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,560
to you properly so just for the sake of letting you guys see the viewing angle a

57
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:14,360
little bit I've got 3D Mark 11 running right now I'm going to go ahead and just

58
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:20,440
kind of turn this it's actually really good so here you can look at it from the

59
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,639
side I'm going to turn it sort of slowly

60
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:28,040
back towards you and you're even looking at it top down right now which is less

61
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:32,639
good than looking at it straight on but it's still doing a pretty impressive job

62
00:04:31,039 --> 00:04:37,320
I'm actually going to go ahead and borrow the camera from my assistant

63
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:42,919
today here and I'm going to go ahead and show you guys sort of top

64
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,800
down really really good I mean I'd say

65
00:04:42,919 --> 00:04:48,479
178° is a bit of an exaggeration but here I'm just going to tilt this all the

66
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:54,479
way back but still very very impressive I

67
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:59,360
mean that's sort of my expectation with a quality VA panel anyway but it's just

68
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,440
good to see that they are living up to what they say they're trying to do with

69
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,400
this product um stand is pretty uh pretty normal I'd say it's uh a little

70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,880
bit unique in that there's a gold Ben que normally the Ben Q logo is silver or

71
00:05:09,479 --> 00:05:16,840
white and then there's a gold accent around the bottom of the monitor looks kind of nice uh down here the on screen

72
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,720
display are the onscreen controls Are all uh here so you got your enter right

73
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:24,880
left menu and Auto uh let's go ahead and look at the

74
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,720
back of the monitor so the back of the monitor not much to say there's just

75
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:34,600
your HDMI in your DVI in which I haven't screwed in correctly oops your VGA in

76
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:40,080
your headphone out so if you're using HDMI in you can listen on headphones and

77
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:46,039
then your power in and I think that's pretty much all I all the comments I

78
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:47,720
have on the VW 2420 like I said I really

79
00:05:46,039 --> 00:05:50,600
don't think BenQ gets enough credit for some of the cool products they bring out

80
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,800
because they're one of the few manufacturers who's actually going to come out and say we are making this

81
00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:00,479
using this kind of panel this is what you get when you buy this product almost

82
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,400
everyone else it's all playing playing around with you know

83
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,240
batch IDs and manufacturing dates in order to find out what it is that you're

84
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,560
actually going to get depending on who you're talking about so thank you for
