WEBVTT

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

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

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:23.439
pull the trigger and develop this product this is the ew

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:26.199
2420 this is an LED back lit LCD

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:30.679
monitor okay none of that sounds very interesting yet but I assure you we're

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.840
getting there we're getting there it is a 24 inch

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:41.440
monitor and I would love to get this

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:43.719
tape off see this is what happens when I

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:49.520
get distracted talking about the product you know then I can't even open a box

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:49.520
all right there we

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:54.440
go I'm just excited sorry okay so I'll

00:00:52.840 --> 00:01:01.440
say very little until we actually have it open here all right this is a 1920

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:07.960
X10 0 monitor 1080P and there goes the stand

00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:07.960
which I hope is still

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

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

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:30.600
with an LED backlight so this is pretty

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:35.880
much the first legitimately premium monitor that we've

00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:40.320
seen with an LED backlight because LED backlighting is is fine and good you

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.159
know it uh it gives you better color repoduction it gives you better overall

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:51.439
brightness it gives you better Energy Efficiency it's a very good thing but

00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:56.000
here we go the world's first VA LED

00:01:51.439 --> 00:02:00.119
monitor but VA gives you better color

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.479
reproduction a wide viewing angle and a

00:02:00.119 --> 00:02:06.759
generally more

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:09.319
pleasing viewing experience so you

00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:17.879
combine those two things together and all of a sudden you've got just a crazy

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:23.720
product now I realize it doesn't look all that special because the bezel

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:28.920
design is quite straightforward you know it's just it's very slick it's very

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:32.840
functional you know it doesn't have a lot of the Bells and

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:38.519
like height adjustable stand uh swivel all that stuff but if what you're

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:42.560
looking for is a Valu priced LED backlit

00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:45.120
VA panel monitor this is it it's got a

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.480
couple HDMI inputs so you've got all the features that

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

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

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

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:04.879
I'm not quite sure where it goes but we finally got the monitor

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.680
unplastic so we can show you all the different accessories so it comes with

00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:12.799
this little guy who appears to be some kind of a teddy bear it obviously Clips

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

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:20.680
not going to concern myself too much with it comes with a power cable comes

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

00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:29.360
audio cable because yes this thing has everything it has all the Practical

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

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

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

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:47.920
input one VGA input benq's only included a VGA cable with this particular monitor

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

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:55.239
there's your usbb in two USB ports then

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.879
moving onto the side of the monitor we have two more USB ports and a headphone

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

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

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.200
actually haven't seen that before so that's outstanding all of your onscreen

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:14.799
display controls are over here on the right hand side of the monitor so I'm

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:20.919
assuming oh yeah the labels are on the front so you got your uh auto adjust

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.720
menu up down as well as enter or select

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

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:29.320
back so it's quite slick looking actually you got your glossy plastic

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

00:04:31.880 --> 00:04:38.280
plastic right at the back you got your four uh screw holes for the Visa Mount

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

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:47.039
do it then that is where you would do that here's a little Cable Management

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

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.560
the stand and uh oh yeah let's just go

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:57.840
through sort of the last thing so here's what they have to say for themselves

00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:05.160
about it wide viewing angle with truly authentic colors as I said V a Panel LED

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:07.199
backlight best of every possible world

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

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:16.840
better good 8 millisecond grade to grade response time very respectable but bear

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

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

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.160
fastest possible panel then a VA panel is not really the answer for you

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.759
although personally I would never compromise

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

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:41.600
panel up here we have 11 multimedia connections which we've already had a

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:45.560
look at and dual 1.5 watt built-in speakers which we've already looked at

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

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:54.280
actually here's another thing to talk about this isn't quite a glossy screen

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

00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:02.000
that mirror reflection glossy either one of the reasons those glossy screens

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

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:09.680
but is because everyone was cheaping out on the panels and laptops so they were

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

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

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.319
few highquality panel monitors that use glossy screens because it's not

00:06:20.520 --> 00:06:26.039
necessary because they're capable of producing all those colors all that

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:31.479
Vibrance all that Christmas on their own just fine so that would be why it

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.479
doesn't have one
