1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:09,559
this is going to be one of those unboxings where basically I'm just gushing the whole time because this is

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:15,680
something that we should have had ages ago but it took until now for Ben Q to

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:23,439
pull the trigger and develop this product this is the ew

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:26,199
2420 this is an LED back lit LCD

5
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:30,679
monitor okay none of that sounds very interesting yet but I assure you we're

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,840
getting there we're getting there it is a 24 inch

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,440
monitor and I would love to get this

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,719
tape off see this is what happens when I

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:49,520
get distracted talking about the product you know then I can't even open a box

10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,520
all right there we

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,440
go I'm just excited sorry okay so I'll

12
00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:01,440
say very little until we actually have it open here all right this is a 1920

13
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:07,960
X10 0 monitor 1080P and there goes the stand

14
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:07,960
which I hope is still

15
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,720
okay and I still haven't given away the secret yet of why this is so interesting

16
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:28,640
and why this is so exciting well I'll tell you now because this is a VA panel

17
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,600
with an LED backlight so this is pretty

18
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,880
much the first legitimately premium monitor that we've

19
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:40,320
seen with an LED backlight because LED backlighting is is fine and good you

20
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,159
know it uh it gives you better color repoduction it gives you better overall

21
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:51,439
brightness it gives you better Energy Efficiency it's a very good thing but

22
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:56,000
here we go the world's first VA LED

23
00:01:51,439 --> 00:02:00,119
monitor but VA gives you better color

24
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,479
reproduction a wide viewing angle and a

25
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,759
generally more

26
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:09,319
pleasing viewing experience so you

27
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:17,879
combine those two things together and all of a sudden you've got just a crazy

28
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:23,720
product now I realize it doesn't look all that special because the bezel

29
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:28,920
design is quite straightforward you know it's just it's very slick it's very

30
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,840
functional you know it doesn't have a lot of the Bells and

31
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,519
like height adjustable stand uh swivel all that stuff but if what you're

32
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:42,560
looking for is a Valu priced LED backlit

33
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:45,120
VA panel monitor this is it it's got a

34
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,480
couple HDMI inputs so you've got all the features that

35
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,519
matter okay there's like wow there's like so much plastic on this thing I'm

36
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,720
just trying to peel it all off so I can show you what the product looks like

37
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:00,440
here why don't you just pause it for a second and so I found this in the Box

38
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:04,879
I'm not quite sure where it goes but we finally got the monitor

39
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,680
unplastic so we can show you all the different accessories so it comes with

40
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:12,799
this little guy who appears to be some kind of a teddy bear it obviously Clips

41
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,519
onto the monitor somewhere but I can't I can't quite find where it goes and I'm

42
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:20,680
not going to concern myself too much with it comes with a power cable comes

43
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:25,519
with a USB A2B cable for the built-in four port USB hub you've also got an

44
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:29,360
audio cable because yes this thing has everything it has all the Practical

45
00:03:27,239 --> 00:03:33,360
features so it has built-in speakers you see the right there and we can also see

46
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:38,439
all of the inputs so I'm just going to lean over so that I can actually point

47
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:43,439
to all the uh all the relevant things so we've got our two HDMI inputs one DVI

48
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,920
input one VGA input benq's only included a VGA cable with this particular monitor

49
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:53,519
so if you are buying it make sure you grab a DVI cable or an HDMI cable

50
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,239
there's your usbb in two USB ports then

51
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,879
moving onto the side of the monitor we have two more USB ports and a headphone

52
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,239
jack that's cool too because now all of a sudden you've got your speakers on

53
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,040
your monitor you don't want your speakers you plug in your headphones right in the side of your monitor I

54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,200
actually haven't seen that before so that's outstanding all of your onscreen

55
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:14,799
display controls are over here on the right hand side of the monitor so I'm

56
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:20,919
assuming oh yeah the labels are on the front so you got your uh auto adjust

57
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,720
menu up down as well as enter or select

58
00:04:20,919 --> 00:04:25,880
so that's the confirm button just want to come around and have a look at the

59
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:29,320
back so it's quite slick looking actually you got your glossy plastic

60
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,440
here which matches the front and you've got kind of a a leathered look on the

61
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:38,280
plastic right at the back you got your four uh screw holes for the Visa Mount

62
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:42,120
so if you wanted to ARM mount this or mount it however it is that you want to

63
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:47,039
do it then that is where you would do that here's a little Cable Management

64
00:04:45,039 --> 00:04:52,720
clip all right and then there's a little piece here that covers up a gray part of

65
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:54,560
the stand and uh oh yeah let's just go

66
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,840
through sort of the last thing so here's what they have to say for themselves

67
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:05,160
about it wide viewing angle with truly authentic colors as I said V a Panel LED

68
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,199
backlight best of every possible world

69
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,759
then we've got a it's a true 8 bit panel so once again that's more color depth

70
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:16,840
better good 8 millisecond grade to grade response time very respectable but bear

71
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:21,840
in mind that VA panels will never be as fast as TN panels for strictly gaming so

72
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,639
if you don't give two Hoots about your image quality and all you want is the

73
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:29,160
fastest possible panel then a VA panel is not really the answer for you

74
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,759
although personally I would never compromise

75
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:37,560
the better image quality that you get from a VA or an IPS panel versus a TN

76
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,600
panel up here we have 11 multimedia connections which we've already had a

77
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,560
look at and dual 1.5 watt built-in speakers which we've already looked at

78
00:05:43,479 --> 00:05:50,080
so this is a very cool product I am very happy to present it to you today and oh

79
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,280
actually here's another thing to talk about this isn't quite a glossy screen

80
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,039
it's kind of uh it's kind of a hybrid it's not quite flat but it's not quite

81
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,000
that mirror reflection glossy either one of the reasons those glossy screens

82
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,560
showed up in the first place and this is my conjecture I don't know this for sure

83
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,680
but is because everyone was cheaping out on the panels and laptops so they were

84
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,199
using cheap otn panels so they were like okay well how can I make the colors look

85
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:18,960
vibrant put a glossy screen on it there you go um so really there are very very

86
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,319
few highquality panel monitors that use glossy screens because it's not

87
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,039
necessary because they're capable of producing all those colors all that

88
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:31,479
Vibrance all that Christmas on their own just fine so that would be why it

89
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,479
doesn't have one
