WEBVTT

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:14.200
so Ben Q just keeps releasing product

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:16.960
after product that has unique cool

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

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

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

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.399
VA panel BenQ is claiming a 178° viewing angle which will be

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:43.079
outstanding if it actually is because that's uh very very good and benq's

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:47.920
whole thing is that they have all these features they have all these high-end

00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:53.840
Technologies because remember it can be a fancy pants monitor with LED this and

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

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

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

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.560
in terms of viewing angle in terms of color reproduction TN panels are never

00:01:08.119 --> 00:01:13.400
going to be well okay I shouldn't say never I mean technology does things that

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

00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:23.560
IPS panel at any point in the near future so here we go BenQ comes right

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.159
out and they say look this is a VA panel

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.079
has a great viewing angle what else do they have to say for themselves on here

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

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.720
250 nits the contrast is 3,00 to1 oh

00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:40.200
look at that they rate their monitor both in terms of contrast and in terms

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.079
of dynamic contrast which they're saying is 20 million to one greater gray

00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:50.640
response times of 8 milliseconds and in terms of inputs we've got VGA DV and

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:53.040
HDMI on the other side we find not a

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

00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:56.840
second

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:07.290
ago okay so the first thing we find inside is some foam foam is good foam

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.479
protects the

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

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:19.599
base stand okay so here here's the amount of foam that will be protecting

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:23.319
your product this is important critical even because especially if you're

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:30.200
ordering from an online retailer such as ncx wow that's thin

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:33.760
nice um it will have to ship some Times

00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:34.840
by camel other times by boat other times

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:39.519
by airplane or

00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:43.440
donkey it'll have to reach you somehow and that packing can be the

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:51.000
difference between a dead monitor when it arrives and a working monitor when it

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.239
arrives all right here we have Ben Q

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.720
disc contents user manual Adobe Reader

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.920
thanks Ben Q I suppose okay next we have

00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:03.599
a power cord which goes to to a power

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

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:12.239
right away by the size of the power brick this is a very efficient Monitor

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

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

00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:24.319
have to buy a DVI or an HDMI cable but

00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:27.879
check this out very very

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:34.239
slim very SL looking little panel

00:03:31.799 --> 00:03:38.480
here so here I'll show you guys the thickness comparison with the iPhone 4

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:43.879
just because I figure everyone probably knows about how thick an iPhone 4 is so

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:52.000
there you go there is your monitor not that much

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:54.280
thicker the world's first VA LED monitor

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

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

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:06.519
second here to peel all the plastic protectors off it so that I can show it

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

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

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

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.639
side I'm going to turn it sort of slowly

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

00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:32.639
good than looking at it straight on but it's still doing a pretty impressive job

00:04:31.039 --> 00:04:37.320
I'm actually going to go ahead and borrow the camera from my assistant

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:42.919
today here and I'm going to go ahead and show you guys sort of top

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:45.800
down really really good I mean I'd say

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

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:54.479
way back but still very very impressive I

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.720
display are the onscreen controls Are all uh here so you got your enter right

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:24.880
left menu and Auto uh let's go ahead and look at the

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

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

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:40.080
your headphone out so if you're using HDMI in you can listen on headphones and

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

00:05:42.919 --> 00:05:47.720
have on the VW 2420 like I said I really

00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:50.600
don't think BenQ gets enough credit for some of the cool products they bring out

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

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.479
using this kind of panel this is what you get when you buy this product almost

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:04.400
everyone else it's all playing playing around with you know

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:08.240
batch IDs and manufacturing dates in order to find out what it is that you're

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.560
actually going to get depending on who you're talking about so thank you for
