all right so today we have a pretty cool product to unbox this is the den Q XL 2410 t and this is a very unique product on the market and I will tell you why because there are lots of 24-inch LCDs there are even lots of LED backlit LCD there are at least a few 3d ready that is Nvidia 3d vision ready 120 Hertz LCDs and there are lots of LCDs that have high-end faces with 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 hertz 3d ready monitor and what I'm gonna 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 half inch at the very least of packing foam around the monitor to protect it in transit so once you remove that one piece of foam we find the monitor itself is wrapped in a protective foamy sheath okay so we can take that out and you know what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna extract this and then we'll cut back alright 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 screw driver 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 and set up your monitor when you first set it up so here's one thing that I do to figure out so lift press okay oh you know what it was 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 that 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 tip it 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 note you want to keep doing that from the side so you can see the lowest tilt angle that we have very few people are gonna have it like kind of up like this and then tilt it 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 gonna come in head-on and then I'm gonna 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 gonna go ahead and say the base and the stand are not built 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 do have all of these features and still be priced so aggressively so let's go ahead and tilt it back up and one well 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 Hertz 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 on-screen display is controlled by the buttons here and then I'm gonna go ahead and guess since I haven't looked at the front of the monitor yet that those are labels 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 Ben Q 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 Hertz refresh rate which bear in mind these two are not necessarily that this isn't just for 3d vision a hundred and twenty Hertz makes for a way smoother gaming experience because contrary to what some people might tell you yes your eye can perceive more than 60 Hertz in a game if you're running at 120 frames per second on a 120 Hertz monitor versus running at 60 frames per second on a 60 Hertz monitor it will look perceivably smoother I guarantee it okay we've got smart scaling we've got 2 millisecond graded gray 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 little model name and the camera now let me move that on me the XL 2410 t don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our
