so benq just keeps releasing product after product that has unique cool features and yeah that seems like they don't get a lot of attention for it so today we're going to be having a look at the VW to 20 for 20 h series LED monitor and what makes this special is the fact that it is an LED backlit LCD monitor with a ba panel then Q is claiming me 178 degree viewing angle which will be extending if it actually is because that's a very very good and Bend Q's whole thing is that they have all these features they have all these high-end technologies because wherever it can be a fancy-pants monitor with LED this and adjustable stand that and pivot but at the end of the day if it's using a TN panel it's only going to be as good as a TN panel which means that you're going to have kind of washed out looking whites from some angles and then know it's all dark from this angle so so in terms of viewing angle in terms of color reproduction TN panels are never going to be while Kashyap say never I mean technology does things that I don't understand that it's probably not going to be as good as a VA panel or an IPS panel at any point in the near future so here we go benq comes right out and they say look this is a VA panel has a great viewing angle what else did it have to say for themselves on here so are any of these English yes here we go it's black the brightness is 215 it's the contrast is three thousand to one al look at that they read their monitor both in terms of contrast and in terms of dynamic contrast which they're saying is 20 million to one great agree response times of 8 milliseconds and in terms of inputs we've got vga DVI and hdmi on the other side we find not a whole lot ok let's go ahead and open up I already cut it open just a second ago okay so the first thing we find inside is some foam foam is good foam protects the products okay I'll go ahead remove that we also have a base stand okay so here appears the amount of foam that will be protecting your product this is important critical either because especially if you're ordering from an online retailer such as NCIX wow that's then nice um it will have to ship sometimes by camel other times by boat other times by airplane or donkey it'll have to reach you somehow and that packing can be the difference between a dead monitor when it arrives and a working monitor when it arrives all right here we have been q disk contents user manual adobe reader thanks benq I suppose okay next we have a power cord which goes to a power brick which goes to a DC plug on the back of the monitor so you can tell right away by the size of the power brick this is a very efficient monitor and you can also see why benq chose to do external power for this monitor when you take a closer look at it it only CLE includes a vga cable so you're going to have to buy a DVI or hdmi cable but check this out very very slim very slick looking little panel here so here I'll show you guys the thickness comparison with the iphone 4 just because i figure everyone probably knows about how thick and iphone 4 is so there you go there is your monitor not in that much thicker the world's first VA LED monitor beautiful inside and out so it's a 24 inch monitor this is going to be 1080p so that is full HD and you know what I'm going to need you guys to give me a second here to peel all the plastic protectors off it so that I can show it to you properly so just for the sake of letting you guys see the viewing angle a little bit I've got 3d mark a than running right now I'm gonna go ahead just kind of trim this earth it's actually really good so here you can look at it from the side I'm going to turn it sort of slowly back towards you and you're even looking at it top down right now which is less good than looking at it straight on but it's still doing a pretty impressive job I'm actually going to go ahead and borrow the camera from my assistant today here and I'm going to go ahead and show you guys sort of top-down really really good I mean I'd say 178 degrees is a bit of an exaggeration but here I'm just going to tilt this all the way back but still very very impressive I mean that's sort of my expectation with a quality VA panel anyway but it's just good to see that they are living up to what they see they're trying to do with this product um stand is pretty pretty normal and say it's a little bit unique in that there's a gold benq normally the benq logo is silver or white and then there's a gold accent around the bottom of the monitor looks kind of nice down here the on-screen display or the on-screen controls are all here so you get your enter right left menu and auto how let's go ahead look at the back of the monitor so the back of the monitor not much to say there's just your HDMI in your DVI in which I haven't screwed incorrectly oops your VGA in your headphone out so if you're using HDMI in you can listen on headphones and then your power in and I think that's pretty much all I all the comments I have on the VW 20 for 20 h like I said I really don't think benq gets enough credit for some of the cool products they bring out because they're one of the few manufacturers who's actually going to come out and say we are making this using this kind of panel this is what you get when you buy this product almost everyone else it's all playing them playing around with you know batch IDs and manufacturing dates in order to find out what it is that you're actually going to get depending on who you're talking about so thank you for checking me on my
