1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:06,279
All right, so today we have a pretty cool product to unbox. This is the Denq

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:11,440
XL 2410T. And this is a very unique product

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:17,720
on the market. And I will tell you why. Because there are lots of 24-in LCDs.

4
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:25,519
There are even lots of LED back lit LCDs. There are at least a few 3D ready,

5
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:29,199
that is NVIDIA 3D vision ready 120 Hz

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:33,440
LCDs. And there are lots of LCDs that

7
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:35,840
have high-end bases with uh with pivot

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:41,680
and height adjust features and all that kind of good stuff. But what does not

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:47,480
exist on the market other than this particular product is something with all

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:53,520
of those features. So this is an LED backlit 120 Hz 3D ready monitor. And uh

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,840
what I'm going to do is for this unboxing, I'm actually going to cut it

12
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,480
in the middle of it because monitors are a little bit tough to do in real time

13
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:07,520
because there's a lot of pieces and a lot of packing material. You can see

14
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,159
we've got about a good 1/2 in at the

15
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,560
very least of packing foam around the monitor to protect it in transit. So

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:21,080
once we remove that one piece of foam, we find the monitor itself is wrapped in

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,360
a protective uh foamy sheath.

18
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:27,360
Okay. So, we can take that off. And you know what I'm going to do is I'm going

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,040
to extract this and then we'll cut back.

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,640
All right. So, the assembly process is pretty simple. We extracted the base,

21
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:38,520
which you can see has rubber feet on the bottom, which is great for non-slip. And

22
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:41,119
then all you do is take the monitor

23
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:45,040
itself and drop it into the base. It snaps into place, but then to ensure it

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:50,479
doesn't come out, you can go ahead and either use a screwdriver or your fingers

25
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,799
to tighten this up and fold that flat.

26
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:58,000
Now the monitor is assembled. It also comes like this, which means that

27
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:03,040
obviously the base features pivot, which is pretty cool. And I'm a big fan of

28
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:08,560
Pivot because if nothing else, Pivot makes it a lot easier to install your

29
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:13,440
cables and uh and set up your monitor when you first set it up. So, here's one

30
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:18,879
thing that I do want to figure out. So, lift, press. Okay. Uh oh, you know what?

31
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:25,680
Yeah, it's probably locked. Yeah. Okay. So,

32
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:26,760
let's take that off and then it should

33
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,720
unlock itself. Okay, give me a sec to figure

34
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,800
this out, guys. So, contrary to what I thought, it actually lifts from here.

35
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,680
So, it does not lift from right here. So, I was pulling on it wrong. So, you

36
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:42,800
just press in there and then lift. And then you can adjust it freely however

37
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:47,920
you want. So, the base features, like I said, pivot. It features height

38
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:50,640
adjustment. Okay. So, you can see how much height

39
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,440
adjustment there is. Quite a lot of range. You can tilt. So, there's the

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,599
actually, no, you want to keep doing that from the side. So, you can see the

41
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,560
lowest tilt angle that we have. Very few people are going to have it at like kind

42
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,280
of up like this and then tilted down though. I don't think too many people sit below their monitor. So, this one's

43
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,080
more important. So, this is how far it tilts back. And since you're usually

44
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,959
sitting at a desk looking down at your monitor, that's sort of the more relevant one. And here I'm going to come

45
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:21,760
head on and then I'm going to show you guys how far we are able to

46
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:25,760
swivel. So it has all of the different height adjustments that you'd pretty

47
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:30,640
much want. Now I'm going to go ahead and say it. The base and the stand are not

48
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,959
built like they're not built out of metal. So they're not the most sturdy

49
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:38,720
and robust that I have ever seen, but they are very functional. It's not like

50
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,840
the monitor is unstable once you've placed it somewhere. and they are very

51
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,280
they have also a very neutral aesthetic. So there's nothing really polarizing

52
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,200
about it one way or the other. And that's what allows this monitor to have

53
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,760
all of these features and still be priced so aggressively. So let's go

54
00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:02,400
ahead and tilt it back up and I want to have a look at what we have in terms of

55
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,319
inputs. So here we have dual link DVI

56
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:09,120
and you can see that BenQ has actually included a dual link cable. All of the

57
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:14,799
pins are present in that DVI cable. That means that you have full support for

58
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:18,000
1080p at 120 Hz. We also have VGA input

59
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,560
as well as HDMI input. And then last but

60
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,520
not least, we have our power input way down here. The onscreen display is

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,160
controlled by the buttons here. And then I'm going to go ahead and guess since I

62
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,639
haven't looked at the front of the monitor yet that those are labeled on

63
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,600
the front of the monitor, which they are. So, here's our power LED, power,

64
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:45,280
enter, right, left, menu, as well as an auto adjust button. Over here, we can

65
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,120
see that uh BenQ has sort of given us a

66
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:52,840
summary of the features of this monitor. First of all, these are the professional

67
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:56,320
gamers that this was developed for

68
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:58,000
gaming with their participation. So,

69
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,080
that's pretty neat. I think this is the first monitor I've seen with that

70
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,360
marketing. We've certainly seen motherboards, coolers, keyboards, mice,

71
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,600
all kinds of different peripherals, but never a monitor before. And I can

72
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,560
definitely see why they would want to market it that way because really

73
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:17,520
everything about this monitor is for gaming. From the NVIDIA 3D Vision Ready

74
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,960
certification to the 120 Hz refresh rate, which bear in mind, these two are

75
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:27,919
not necessarily this isn't just for 3D vision. 120 Hz makes for a way smoother

76
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:33,919
gaming experience because contrary to what some people might tell you, yes,

77
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,400
your eye can perceive more than 60 Hz in

78
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:41,280
a game. If you're running atund 120 frames per second on a 120 Hz monitor

79
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:46,479
versus running at 60 frames per second on a 60 Hz monitor, it will look

80
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,639
perceivably smoother. I guarantee it. Okay, we've got smart scaling. We've got

81
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,759
two millisecond grade times, which is pretty much necessary if you want to

82
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,400
have a 3D vision monitor because of that fast refresh rate. And then we also

83
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,880
have, this is nice, too. So, this is not a glare type coating. This is actually a

84
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,160
proper matte finish combined with the LED backlighting that should give us

85
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,520
pretty good color reproduction as well, but I haven't actually had a chance to

86
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:15,919
try this monitor yet. So, thank you for checking out my unboxing here of the

87
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Now, I've gone and forgotten the total model name and the camera wouldn't move

88
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,479
that on me. The XL 2410T. Don't forget
