BenQ XL2420TX 3D Vision Ready 120Hz LCD Monitor Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2012-02-12
welcome to my unboxing of what looks like the same product that I unboxed before the XL 24-20 T from Ben Q with Keaton and spawn featured on the cover but this one is slightly more different in a way that is actually kind of too so this guy is the 24 20 TX which is basically very similar to the 24 20 t it's the same basic monitor except for a couple things one is it includes Nvidia 3d vision glasses version 2 we got all our included cables power DVI VGA you've got a Quick Start Guide ok so this is all pretty much par for the course at this point we have our base station so this is a 120 Hertz LCD not only is it 120 Hertz but it also has the firmware that supports Nvidia light boost here's a little sleeve for your glasses to keep them in as well as a 3d vision kickstart guide don't forget guys for 3d vision you will need and in a supported Nvidia graphics card although this kit means that you'll have the correct monitor as well as the correct glasses at the very least next we've got this is for navigating your monitors on-screen menu as well as for changing between different profiles that you might prefer from different games or different genres of games this is a dust cover which is the most like strange thing because this one and the regular 24 20 T are like the only monitors produced in the last 10 years probably that come with a dust cover don't figure right and the next we have the stands so this has its red accents it clips into here just like this oh no not like that looks in somewhere like something that's for sure that must be it yeah you can see you can actually tell from the arrows that are lined up on the bottom here a little arrow there and that is how we know that it is in the right place so next we take out the packing foam and extract the monitor itself where which is where we're going to find the next cool things about this particular screen if you guys remember from my unboxing of a Seuss's 3d vision to monitor the there we go there's has a built-in transmitter that allows you to run 3d vision without that little ah sorry guys it's hard to like construct things and talk at the same time actually so I'm just gonna finish building the monitor and then I'll talk there we go so the asu's model has a built-in transmitter so you don't have to use that little pyramid ii thing in order to use 3d vision this guy has it as well although i'd say it's actually even more elegantly implemented so let's go around to the front of the monitor okay fine we'll start here so cameraman wants to see all the adjustments we can make so we've got our pivot so try not Ted sort of cleaned it with the monitor here okay we've got our height adjustable all right it goes one way and oh yeah this guy tilt there you go so you got pretty much everything just good because it's a fairly expensive monitor all things considered let's go here there we are here we find a USB hub we find USB in we find two HDMI inputs DVI in that's dual link DVI because 120 Hertz monitors do require greater data then not 120 Hertz monitors at 1080p VGA as well as DisplayPort so it should be noted also about this monitor that it supports 3d over HDMI so if you have a Playstation 3 or a 3d ready blu-ray player oh yeah that's one of the other features this one has that the 2420 does not this guy supports 3d over HDMI so whatever kind of 3d output device you put it to this display and you are ready to rock so there is our transmitter so very very elegantly saluted it's got elegantly implemented little tiny infrared transmitter right on the front of the monitor there very innocuous next and it's beside the touch sensitive buttons although honestly on this monitor I won't really use that because you just plug this guy into the little USB port on this side over here which you guys saw at the bottom and that is what you can use to control your on-screen display you scroll through things like that you press the buttons in order to navigate so that's kind of cool as well I think that covers it except for on this side there we go two more USB ports as well as a headphone jack so that's only useful if you're transmitting audio via HDMI so there you go you can pass that through to your headphones right which sit on these stand at the back here in fact we have some SteelSeries headphones right here so we can show you how that works looks just like that pretty cool right I think that pretty much covers it so it's a 1080p 3d vision - ready monitor that is also compatible with other 3d devices like your blu-ray player or whatever else and it is light boost ready they already say light boost something a couple times whatever it slight boost ready comes with the 3d vision two glasses comes with the integrated transmitter and is otherwise pretty much the same as the 2420 t so thank you for checking out this unboxing of the 2420 TX for you RC geeks out there you might know that TX is also short for transmitter and don't forget to subscribe to - tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos cameraman who's filling in for slick today insisted that I demo the monitor with the dust cover there's also something I missed it took cameraman to notice this you see these grooves on the outside of the little control module check this out it is magnetic and it sticks right there and you can actually put it on either side of the monitor so it's a lot more aesthetically pleasing when you do it that way then when you just have it kind of laying there on the desk so now I think we're done
