WEBVTT 00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:06.279 All right, so today we have a pretty cool product to unbox. This is the Denq 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:11.440 XL 2410T. And this is a very unique product 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. 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, 00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:29.199 that is NVIDIA 3D vision ready 120 Hz 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:33.440 LCDs. And there are lots of LCDs that 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.840 have high-end bases with uh with pivot 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:41.680 and height adjust features and all that kind of good stuff. But what does not 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:47.480 exist on the market other than this particular product is something with all 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:53.520 of those features. So this is an LED backlit 120 Hz 3D ready monitor. And uh 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 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 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.520 because there's a lot of pieces and a lot of packing material. You can see 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.159 we've got about a good 1/2 in at the 00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.560 very least of packing foam around the monitor to protect it in transit. So 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:21.080 once we remove that one piece of foam, we find the monitor itself is wrapped in 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.360 a protective uh foamy sheath. 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 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:29.040 to extract this and then we'll cut back. 00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:32.640 All right. So, the assembly process is pretty simple. We extracted the base, 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 00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:41.119 then all you do is take the monitor 00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:45.040 itself and drop it into the base. It snaps into place, but then to ensure it 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:50.479 doesn't come out, you can go ahead and either use a screwdriver or your fingers 00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.799 to tighten this up and fold that flat. 00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:58.000 Now the monitor is assembled. It also comes like this, which means that 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:03.040 obviously the base features pivot, which is pretty cool. And I'm a big fan of 00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:08.560 Pivot because if nothing else, Pivot makes it a lot easier to install your 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 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? 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:25.680 Yeah, it's probably locked. Yeah. Okay. So, 00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:26.760 let's take that off and then it should 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.720 unlock itself. Okay, give me a sec to figure 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:34.800 this out, guys. So, contrary to what I thought, it actually lifts from here. 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 00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:42.800 just press in there and then lift. And then you can adjust it freely however 00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:47.920 you want. So, the base features, like I said, pivot. It features height 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:50.640 adjustment. Okay. So, you can see how much height 00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:55.440 adjustment there is. Quite a lot of range. You can tilt. So, there's the 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.599 actually, no, you want to keep doing that from the side. So, you can see the 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 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 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.080 more important. So, this is how far it tilts back. And since you're usually 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 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 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:25.760 swivel. So it has all of the different height adjustments that you'd pretty 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 00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:34.959 built like they're not built out of metal. So they're not the most sturdy 00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:38.720 and robust that I have ever seen, but they are very functional. It's not like 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.840 the monitor is unstable once you've placed it somewhere. and they are very 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:47.280 they have also a very neutral aesthetic. So there's nothing really polarizing 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.200 about it one way or the other. And that's what allows this monitor to have 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:55.760 all of these features and still be priced so aggressively. So let's go 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 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.319 inputs. So here we have dual link DVI 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:09.120 and you can see that BenQ has actually included a dual link cable. All of the 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:14.799 pins are present in that DVI cable. That means that you have full support for 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:18.000 1080p at 120 Hz. We also have VGA input 00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:20.560 as well as HDMI input. And then last but 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.520 not least, we have our power input way down here. The onscreen display is 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 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.639 haven't looked at the front of the monitor yet that those are labeled on 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:37.600 the front of the monitor, which they are. So, here's our power LED, power, 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:45.280 enter, right, left, menu, as well as an auto adjust button. Over here, we can 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.120 see that uh BenQ has sort of given us a 00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:52.840 summary of the features of this monitor. First of all, these are the professional 00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:56.320 gamers that this was developed for 00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:58.000 gaming with their participation. So, 00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:01.080 that's pretty neat. I think this is the first monitor I've seen with that 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:05.360 marketing. We've certainly seen motherboards, coolers, keyboards, mice, 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.600 all kinds of different peripherals, but never a monitor before. And I can 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.560 definitely see why they would want to market it that way because really 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:17.520 everything about this monitor is for gaming. From the NVIDIA 3D Vision Ready 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:22.960 certification to the 120 Hz refresh rate, which bear in mind, these two are 00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:27.919 not necessarily this isn't just for 3D vision. 120 Hz makes for a way smoother 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:33.919 gaming experience because contrary to what some people might tell you, yes, 00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.400 your eye can perceive more than 60 Hz in 00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:41.280 a game. If you're running atund 120 frames per second on a 120 Hz monitor 00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:46.479 versus running at 60 frames per second on a 60 Hz monitor, it will look 00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:50.639 perceivably smoother. I guarantee it. Okay, we've got smart scaling. We've got 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.759 two millisecond grade times, which is pretty much necessary if you want to 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.400 have a 3D vision monitor because of that fast refresh rate. And then we also 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 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.160 proper matte finish combined with the LED backlighting that should give us 00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:09.520 pretty good color reproduction as well, but I haven't actually had a chance to 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:15.919 try this monitor yet. So, thank you for checking out my unboxing here of the 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:20.800 Now, I've gone and forgotten the total model name and the camera wouldn't move 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:22.479 that on me. The XL 2410T. Don't forget 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:28.680 to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews, and other videos 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.680 about computer stuff.
