All right, so today we have a pretty cool product to unbox. This is the Denq
XL 2410T. And this is a very unique product
on the market. And I will tell you why. Because there are lots of 24-in LCDs.
There are even lots of LED back lit LCDs. There are at least a few 3D ready,
that is NVIDIA 3D vision ready 120 Hz
LCDs. And there are lots of LCDs that
have high-end bases with uh with pivot
and height adjust features and all that kind of good stuff. But what does not
exist on the market other than this particular product is something with all
of those features. So this is an LED backlit 120 Hz 3D ready monitor. And uh
what I'm going to do is for this unboxing, I'm actually going to cut it
in the middle of it because monitors are a little bit tough to do in real time
because there's a lot of pieces and a lot of packing material. You can see
we've got about a good 1/2 in at the
very least of packing foam around the monitor to protect it in transit. So
once we remove that one piece of foam, we find the monitor itself is wrapped in
a protective uh foamy sheath.
Okay. So, we can take that off. And you know what I'm going to do is I'm going
to extract this and then we'll cut back.
All right. So, the assembly process is pretty simple. We extracted the base,
which you can see has rubber feet on the bottom, which is great for non-slip. And
then all you do is take the monitor
itself and drop it into the base. It snaps into place, but then to ensure it
doesn't come out, you can go ahead and either use a screwdriver or your fingers
to tighten this up and fold that flat.
Now the monitor is assembled. It also comes like this, which means that
obviously the base features pivot, which is pretty cool. And I'm a big fan of
Pivot because if nothing else, Pivot makes it a lot easier to install your
cables and uh and set up your monitor when you first set it up. So, here's one
thing that I do want to figure out. So, lift, press. Okay. Uh oh, you know what?
Yeah, it's probably locked. Yeah. Okay. So,
let's take that off and then it should
unlock itself. Okay, give me a sec to figure
this out, guys. So, contrary to what I thought, it actually lifts from here.
So, it does not lift from right here. So, I was pulling on it wrong. So, you
just press in there and then lift. And then you can adjust it freely however
you want. So, the base features, like I said, pivot. It features height
adjustment. Okay. So, you can see how much height
adjustment there is. Quite a lot of range. You can tilt. So, there's the
actually, no, you want to keep doing that from the side. So, you can see the
lowest tilt angle that we have. Very few people are going to have it at like kind
of up like this and then tilted down though. I don't think too many people sit below their monitor. So, this one's
more important. So, this is how far it tilts back. And since you're usually
sitting at a desk looking down at your monitor, that's sort of the more relevant one. And here I'm going to come
head on and then I'm going to show you guys how far we are able to
swivel. So it has all of the different height adjustments that you'd pretty
much want. Now I'm going to go ahead and say it. The base and the stand are not
built like they're not built out of metal. So they're not the most sturdy
and robust that I have ever seen, but they are very functional. It's not like
the monitor is unstable once you've placed it somewhere. and they are very
they have also a very neutral aesthetic. So there's nothing really polarizing
about it one way or the other. And that's what allows this monitor to have
all of these features and still be priced so aggressively. So let's go
ahead and tilt it back up and I want to have a look at what we have in terms of
inputs. So here we have dual link DVI
and you can see that BenQ has actually included a dual link cable. All of the
pins are present in that DVI cable. That means that you have full support for
1080p at 120 Hz. We also have VGA input
as well as HDMI input. And then last but
not least, we have our power input way down here. The onscreen display is
controlled by the buttons here. And then I'm going to go ahead and guess since I
haven't looked at the front of the monitor yet that those are labeled on
the front of the monitor, which they are. So, here's our power LED, power,
enter, right, left, menu, as well as an auto adjust button. Over here, we can
see that uh BenQ has sort of given us a
summary of the features of this monitor. First of all, these are the professional
gamers that this was developed for
gaming with their participation. So,
that's pretty neat. I think this is the first monitor I've seen with that
marketing. We've certainly seen motherboards, coolers, keyboards, mice,
all kinds of different peripherals, but never a monitor before. And I can
definitely see why they would want to market it that way because really
everything about this monitor is for gaming. From the NVIDIA 3D Vision Ready
certification to the 120 Hz refresh rate, which bear in mind, these two are
not necessarily this isn't just for 3D vision. 120 Hz makes for a way smoother
gaming experience because contrary to what some people might tell you, yes,
your eye can perceive more than 60 Hz in
a game. If you're running atund 120 frames per second on a 120 Hz monitor
versus running at 60 frames per second on a 60 Hz monitor, it will look
perceivably smoother. I guarantee it. Okay, we've got smart scaling. We've got
two millisecond grade times, which is pretty much necessary if you want to
have a 3D vision monitor because of that fast refresh rate. And then we also
have, this is nice, too. So, this is not a glare type coating. This is actually a
proper matte finish combined with the LED backlighting that should give us
pretty good color reproduction as well, but I haven't actually had a chance to
try this monitor yet. So, thank you for checking out my unboxing here of the
Now, I've gone and forgotten the total model name and the camera wouldn't move
that on me. The XL 2410T. Don't forget
