This one is a quick review of the newly launched [still unlisted on Benq INDIA] Benq G2420 a slight upgrade to the already existent G2412. I will try to write the review to help anyone in confusion to buy an LCD in the 24 inch segment which has recently become very affordable.
I am sure by the end of the review you will be able to contemplate why I closed in on this specific piece , since that seems to be the major problem with so many monitors to chose from in the 11.5k – 12.5 k segment. No doubt each monitor has its pros n cons and no monitor is the best , its just a matter of convenience at the end of the day.
So without much-a-due lets get started with the UNBOXING !
The basic carton , standard packing. Came neatly packed with cables tidily tucked in pockets in the packing. Whole thing weighed around 6.5 Kgs.
Came with the following accessories :
From Left-To-Right
1. Standard POWER Cable
2. DVI CABLE
3. VGA Cable
4. Manual , Installation Kit
So the DVI cable is bundled along with the Monitor, seems to be a standard now with BENQ products.
Finally ! Out with the old , In with the NEW is what I always say
Some observations straight away :
1. The Size mentioned is full 24 Inches and not 23.56 as in G2412 and alike . Which is all BULLSHIT ! OR a marketing stunt maybe. Measure the area myself. It's LOGIC : If it is 16:9 it will be 23.6 inches ONLY !
2. Marginally higher pixel pitch , some .5 more.
3. The video Bandwidth is 210Mhz Vs 205 Mhz in G2412.
4. Has an HDMI port unlike the Samsung P2350.
Now dont exactly know how all of this would affect the performance but numbers never hurt anyone .Also these stats seem to vary with BenQ India and Global so most of these are as verified by the authorized dealer.
Comes with all 3 display options with multiple input with HDMI switching as well.
Buttons took a bit of time , but 20 mins down i was cruising through the menu.
