Frontal View. The glossy bezel is protected by strips of plastic film.
The monitor looks very modern, I like the overall feel to it, and the off centered base piece does not affect the balance of the unit at all.
Also, as you can see it's a matte screen surface.

2f341a88e1284074a06d9e1a3ec5378e

The buttons doesn't actually click like the way it looks, they're touch sensitive buttons.

0ecfcb5a69d2455aa407c32d4afbc5a3

Side view, with a card for size reference.
The audio output port on the left side of the monitor with a standard headphone .35mm jack. I'm guessing it transmits the sound from HDMI.

From right to left, D-Sub, HDMI, DVI.
The power port is further down left, you can sort of see it?

The glossy bezel extends all the way to the back.
Go ahead! make out the numbers on the card! :cool:

More monitor unit information.

77726177720947a0b357c16166ebdb64

The V2400W itself is really thin indeed!

de978a103eb84be88bb75c43fee728fb

A shot at the base.

1917e22f05564d7d8ba68298d44c5f88

Unfortunately the base only pivots up and down, it doesn't twist or move up and down.
Also, the base is actually made of plastic, and not aluminum like it seems.
Alternative mounting options also seems to be a no go. :(

-Initial Inspection for damage or anomalies​
Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any physical damage to the unit, as the monitor is pretty well packaged. There also doesn't seem to be any dead/stuck pixels after a couple quick scans through the main display :). All in all, it looks like the monitor is in great physical conditions.​

2. Overview
-Build quality inspection​
The BenQ V2400W is very well built, there are nothing that are rattling or loose on this unit. There are also no dead/stuck pixels coming out of the box, which is always a good sign. The surface of the screen is also perfect with no scratches or dents. The styling is also very modern, especially the consistencies of the glossy bezel all the way around the whole back of the monitor. Too bad we won't be spending too much time looking at the back of the monitor... I hope :p. Of course with glossy bezels, users can leave fingerprints on it easily.​

Quick refresh on what the panel looks like.

34db2411e4434aeb83ff7f15b1758b71

The back of the panel is great looking.


-Stand quality and ease of adjustment (Hor/Vert)​
The base stand, as noted before in part 1 of the review, is made of plastic and not aluminum like the silver color suggests. However, the stand is quite durable and strong and should serve its purpose well. The feet of the stand is made up of 9 nickle sized non-slippery pads scattered throughout underneath the base. Now, one of the area that BenQ could improve on is the base stand versatility. The degree of freedom with the V2400W stand is quite limited with only a 5 degrees tilt forward, and a 20 degrees tilt back. Where is the up shifting and down shifting? Also, where is the turning or twisting for portrait mode? On a positive note, the grip of the turning point is quite tight so you don't have to worry about accidentally knocking it out of position.​

87392cdafe274851b48ea3de48842000

The red circles are the locations of the 9 non-slippery feet.

673c2d800826449abbd7b015b149184d

I wish the stand would've allowed more freedom. :eek:


-First bootup impression​
Upon boot up, we're greeted by the BenQ and Energy Star logo. The color looks very good on the Windows Vista desktop using the DVI connector. After a couple thorough scans over the desktop, there doesn't appear to be any dead/stuck pixels. :)​

-OSD layout and features​
This section is better explained with the pictures below. Scroll down to continue reading!​

37765b2d9efd499387e1dce8c7ddb224

The display options are only enabled for the D-SUB connection, it's disabled for DVI and HDMI.

4a599bc57f3d4a3aaae7ae5beb86ea18

Wow, the brightness is turned way up by default.
The color option opens another menu that is not pictured here, it lets the user adjust the color temperature with 3 preset values and 1 customizable color set, All the modes and their values are as follows:

Normal - R98 G98 B98
Bluish - R88 G91 B98
Reddish - R98 G94 B77
User - R100 G100 B100 (Individually adjustable)

One thing I noticed when switching from Normal to User is that the color ended up with a saturation of blue that makes the desktop looks a lot cooler, which is strange because in theory it shouldn't differ too much from a RGB value change from 98 to 100. So I went back and manually adjusted the User profile to R98 G98 B98 and switched them back and forth for comparison purposes. The result is the two profiles indeed differed in color temperature, although they both have an RGB value of 98 across the board. Strange isn't it. :confused:

The Dynamic Contrast is grayed out for Standard Mode and sRGB Mode. You can enable Dynamic Contrast after going to the Picture Advanced option menu and change the Picture Mode to either Movie, Dynamic, or Photo. Activating it lets the monitor manage the contrast level for you on the fly and it disables manual adjustment for Brightness, Contrast.

09637ba087d64c63b6376665c63522b7

In the Picture Advanced menu you can switch between Normal, Movie, Dynamic, Photo, and sRGB picture modes, in that order.

The Senseye Demo is only enabled for Movie, Dynamic, and Photo mode. When enabled, the picture is split into the left and right, with the left labeled Senseye Off and the right labeled Senseye On. Like the demo, Senseye technology is only enabled in Movie, Dynamic and Photo modes, it enhances the pictures color, contrast, and brightness dynamically. Of couse, in these three modes and the demo turned off, you get the full benefit of the Senseye technology. [Senseye information on the BenQ Website]

The Display Mode option is grayed out and I haven't figured out how to access it yet, maybe it'll be enabled with the HDMI connection which I've yet to test yet?

The AMA option is BenQ's implementation of Overdirve that improved the LCD panel response time to 2ms GTG and is off by default.

28e5299588ae4f62b1dbae45e20b8653

Volume and Mute is grayed out, it should be enabled once you have a HDMI cable that have a sound input and you can use the Line-out/Headphone to output the sound else where.

The Buzzer option is to turn on/off the little beeping sound when you press any of the buttons below the monitor panel. The beeping is on by default but it's rather tame and it didn't bother me enough for me to turn it off.

e1035107a2d145959fe37ec8a134838d

You can switch between the D-SUB, DVI, HDMI inputs here.
Pressing the Enter button located at the bottom of the panel cycles through the inputs directly also.

The DDC/CI option lets you turn on/off the display data channel. [DDC/CI Wikipedia article here]

13082b29e2474cbd8a1d1efd4594f0db

The OSD Settings let you switch between English, Japanese, Chinese Traditional, and Chinese Simplified Language.

046c212d116a41839be27bb42c444bd6

The Information menu displays the current resolution and current refresh rate.

-0 hour backlight bleeding inspection​

4f64c6b412c44de6a2215b49b54557d3

You may be wonder why you're staring at a black picture, but you can see the panel's power button LED at the bottom. No BLB at 0 hours. :)
After some usage I'll revisit BLB again.

-0 hour heat and noise​
No immediate heat output, and no noise that I can hear at all with my ear right next to the back of the panel.​

Before I start, some forum members are concerned about the base stand design choice of an off-centered stand. But worry not, here are some photos proving that the monitor is indeed leveled.

71fc1d03d4ea40bb946bd0b8a3c9aa81

The bottom left of the monitor measures at 4 inches.

b9231d435fdb45ad845b13a413597b4f

The bottom right of the monitor also measures at 4 inches exactly. ;)


3. General Usage
-Text Clarity/Sharpness
Texts display is pretty good, fonts appear sharp and clear.

3d4b2f642e1348ca93d1e89dae711b80

Not a very good representation of text display on the V2400W due to the inferior camera hardware. :(
However, it gives the reader an idea on how texts look on the monitor.

​
-Desktop navigation
Desktop navigation is a joy, not much else to report here. At it's native resolution of 1920x1200, you get a great deal of desktop space which users will never have enough of.

c5e07255f8eb46beb379d4e988c8cfbe

With a high native resolution of 1920x1200, you can open a lot of windows at the same time without having to constantly go to the task bar to switch other windows.
​
-Web surfing
Surfing the web with a big desktop space is always good.

795787a0f3c248dab3d60ccb2b86b033

Having a big desktop space enables the user to open two browsers side by side and still be able to see everything.

​
-Office applications
No problems using office applications, the large desktop estate makes editing text a lot easier.

5c94682410d3449a8447badefbf40881

Being able to fully see two pages of text at the same time improves productivity.
​
-Vert/Hor viewing angle
The viewing angle of course is one of the weaknesses of TN panels, however, it's not that much of an issue if you're viewing the monitor head on.

f47306605518447e87732abf4593bfca

The centered image for reference.

0d0af13b81bf4ee5acba70f34099849a

Slight color shifting on the far side when viewing at a off-centered horizontal angle.

6d80dc95fe0d4cd6951ab56f38a8a0ad

Again, the far side appears to have some color shifting, but who looks at a monitor at such an high angle. :rolleyes:

3914e3c2a9e2483599867307da89cf23

Color shifting when viewed head-on, this is a typical result for TN panels. Unfortunately it's something TN owners have to live with. [Image source: Lagom LCD Test Images]

​
4. Multi-Media usage

-Image Color/Clarity/Sharpness​
Images looks sharp and clear, nothing to complain.

74337113da9345da9d0b4a547644d101

Images looks amazing in high resolutions.

1bffc0f7dec24480b2a80b725a8e80a5

The Nissan GT-R R35 in high-res, extremely hot!
​
-Black/white level check​
The black level with this monitor is extremely good! No black crush and even the slightest black level change is noticeable. Same for the whiteness level! And this is all with stock monitor settings. With some of the past couple monitors that I've used before, most of the time some adjustments has to be made to get a decent black/white level. Definitely a thumbs up here for the V2400W.

fd8cbc3a91ee4fd99b73680f5a524523

Not a good representation due to crappy camera, but rest assured, the blackness level on the V2400W is superb! [Image source: Lagom LCD Test Images]

956541fdb46b46f3b66b93c62e549b6d

A better representation here, you can clearly distinguish the gray blocks even on the very bottom row! Very good whiteness level! [Image source: Lagom LCD Test Images]​
-Banding check​
Some minor banding, not much to be alerted about.

444094660abb4172858bce6e8911014f

Look closely and you can see some minor banding, nothing major. Although some users might find it distracting.
​
-Movie viewing evaluation
The movie viewing experience is amazing, nothing like watching a movie in full 1080p high definition.

5aaf555077a74c8b8ecd83608b7e65bd

Transformers in high-def.

5. Console usage over HDMI
-PS3 over HDMI
Using the PS3 over HDMI is a very enjoyable experience as it performs flawlessly over all resolution along with great scaling options. There is absolutely no hassle involved, just hook up your PS3 using HDMI and you're good to go. Not to mention it even carries the audio signal from HDMI and you can get audio without another cord from the PS3, albeit it'll be limited to stereo Line-out/Headphone only. With the DVI port and HDMI port seperated brings a lot of convenience for the users as more and more LCD now only carries one digital port in either DVI or HDMI in order to cut down production cost. All in all, the HDMI port is definitely another reason why you should consider the BenQ V2400W for your next LCD purchase if you've been wanting to upgrade to a bigger monitor but didn't yet.

33f95673c4c54389b22e1c2dab235dfd

Two digital ports eliminate the need to switch back and forth if you want use the monitor for PC and console.

0ecfcb5a69d2455aa407c32d4afbc5a3

The Line-out/Headphone port that carries HDMI audio signal located on the left of the monitor.
​
-PS3 game 480/720p/1080p scaling
In High Definition resolutions such as 720p and 1080p, the V2400W performs flawlessly while displaying sharp and clear images while maintaining the correct aspect ratio. There is not much else to say except the addition of HDMI port on top of DVI rocks!

43516e03e5fa477ea15e6189388cece7

Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) in 480p in 1:1 pixel mapping. The image is sharp and clear but probably too small for practical use.

de85e7a393ad4fb7935991732e15cc73

Again, DMC4 in 480p but this time in Aspect Ratio zoom mode. V2400W maintains the aspect ratio while upscaling the image to fit the entire screen.
The image quality degrades as each individual pixel gets spread across multiple pixels during the upscale.

eb5e06b86314404e944aeafd4f30cad7

This time, the game in 720p with 1:1 pixel map, the image is as sharp as it gets but does not utilize the full screen estate.

917850371335421084b4416fc48e97b4

720p scaled to the full screen with Aspect Scaling zoom.
The image maintains it's sharpness and clarity as the jump from 720p to 1080p is not as noticeable compared to 480p to 1080p.

bc82db6c2c6144c38c346942eda2ccff

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in full 1080p. The image quality is superb, there is nothing to complain about.
(By the way, if you're a PS3 owner, you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing this game. :p It's AWESOME!)
​

-Game upScaling using PS2 Games
If your PS3 is backward compatible, then you're in for a treat as the V2400W scales PS2 titles brilliantly. Although, since the native resolution of the monitor is 1920x1200, the sharpness of the image might not be as good compared to a TV when scaled up. Most computer monitor don't scale images that are not native resolutions too well so don't fret.

df03270fe4914dc5b294858400b2ccaf

With 1:1 pixel mapping the image is razor sharp, again, the image is probably too small for practical use.
This is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2).

393fc396c5b84cd7a1798f10c8622a80

The exact same image but with Aspect Scaling that is selectable in the V2400W OSD menu. The Image is upscaled as big as possible while maintaining the aspect ratio.
The image softens up a little but the quality is still incredibly good.

​
-Blu-ray movie viewing
HD movies looks amazing on the V2400W, again, nothing else to report here.

70130671183047c0ac7ce28d784e20d5

The image quality is just great.
Casino Royale - 007 pictured here.

a10ae4fef28e46a5adc9a70d78d0ebce

The monitor is definitely capable and suitable for movie viewing.
​
-Subjective input lag
While gaming with the V2400W using the PS3, there is no feeling of input lag at all, and I didn't even have overdrive turned on. Given that this IS a TN panel, if all else fails, responsiveness is the one thing you can depend on. ;)
​

6. PC Gaming Usage
-4:3 Game Scaling

One of the most important features a monitor should have in regards to gaming is the proper aspect ratio scaling. Especially in regards to the older generation of games where resolution options might not be as robust as today's games. For example, all-time favorites such as Starcraft, Diablo II, and the Warcraft III franchise. (Blizzard much? :p) Games such as Diablo II usually runs at the Native 640x480 or 800x600. With CRTs, the aspect ratio are often 4:3 which are what those games are developed for. However, with a wide-screen LCD such as the BenQ V2400W where the native resolution ratio is 16:10, 3:4 stretched to 16:10 makes the images look horrendously stretched horizontally and can adversely affect the overall gaming experience. Good news is with BenQ V2400W, image scaling is implemented perfectly which users can adjust to their likings by navigating through the monitor options OSD.

cb3b771379bd4c7794403bb06c0a15e3

Blizzard's classic RTS Warcraft III which I still enjoy playing from time to time.

a8a4d87ef5c34e9f9842bb370f370ba7

Pixel perfect 4:3 scaling of Warcraft III running in 1600x1200 in. Makes the image sharp and clear.
​
-Ghosting/Inverse Ghosting evaluation
Good news is there are no inverse ghosting with the V2400W which many users have experienced with other monitors such as the Dell 2407WFP-HC. Bad news is there is still very slightly noticeable ghosting when moving a white cursor over pale-gray backgrounds. A slight after-image of the cursor trails behind the actual position. However, it's nothing to be worried about since you won't see it during normal usage unless you're really looking for it, and even then, the user have the option to turn on AMA (BenQ's Overdrive that improves response time to 2ms from 5ms) that further eliminates the ghosting apperance. All-in-all this is really a none issue for 99.99% of the users but I feel obligated to mention it since it's still present and for some paranoid users, this could make or break the deal.

Images are not included because I feel the quality of the couple images that I took did not accurately represent the actual appearance of said ghosting effect. The combination of my poor photography skills and bad camera hardware in general makes the issue seems 1000% worse than it is.
​
-Input lag
Worry not, the one field that TN panels consistently outperforms the more expansively priced PVA, MVA, and IPS panels is its excellent response time. The V2400W is no exception, there are definitely no noticeable input lags that the user would experience that could hinder the enjoyment of PC Gaming with the default 5ms response time. Not to mention another layer of safety net of the 2ms response time overdrive.

8b48d9a51a7549a1bb9d46edb5c02837

Game controls are extremely responsive, no worries here.

40ba43fdc55a48cea7e26a052a5b695e

Crytek's Crysis in 1920x1080 VERY HIGH DX10. The frames are no where near high enough for me to experience input lag. :p
​
7. Wrap up
-Extended-use BLB, Heat, and Noise.
4f64c6b412c44de6a2215b49b54557d3

After logging at least 200 hours of usage, there seems to be some minor progressive BLB although you can't really see them in this screen-shot. The 4 corners and edges are slightly brighter than the center, although overall the backlights are still fairly even. The BLB is not noticeable at all if you have any sort of light-source present, so it shouldn't be a problem during normal usage. I only caught this because I was looking for it specifically in pitch-black darkness for the purpose of this review. The lack of BLB on the V2400W is definitely a strong point compared to the other LCD monitors I have come across before.

3a6a710866d7446bb33536954083149c

Getting ready to heat up the monitor...

4c2b4ddb2c6b4b0eb8608334a4e31b5f

After having the monitor on for at least 5 hours the monitor barely have any heat on the back panel. The venting holes have a slight warm breeze that you can feel if you put your hand right on top of them but other than that, the heat output is non-existent. There are also no noises coming from the panel even if you press your ear against the back panel, very impressive.

​
After reading through my review, I would like for the readers to draw their own conclusions from my findings instead of me saying the users should buy this or that if they want to use the monitor for such and such purpose. This review is only here to provide a sample of what you could experience if you purchased the BenQ V2400W and ultimately it's up to the user to evaluate their own needs. After all, even different samples of the same exact monitor could provide varying degrees of performance.

This concludes my review of the BenQ V2400W as part of the "BenQ V2400W User Reviews @ [H]Forum", I hope you enjoyed reading my findings as much as I have putting this brief review together. Thanks again for reading!

Thanks for the great review. Do you notice any banding on the PS3 Menu screen? Could you post a picture? Thanks!
 
This is awesome, I'm really glad you posted impressions across a wide range of games.
 
Nope,

It only happens if there is an image on the XMB that has banding in it. Otherwise it's banding free.

Same for games and BluRay.

As far as I know it does not accept 24p output in native. Either a PS3 or a PC has to properly interpolate these resolutions. I don't even think 24p produced a display when I tried it with PS3.

hey GTOViper - Great review. One question - how do you get such clear screenshots of your monitor? What digital camera and setting do you use? I use a Canon SD630, everything on Auto and no matter how I take the pictures, mine don't come out half as clean as yours.

Well, I'm sure your camera is a lot better than mine. I didn't do anything special while taking all those shots, all I did was use auto mode and make sure there is no shaking by using a ghetto single-pod (broom:p) and take the picture using the highest resolution available. Also, I made sure the flash is off. Then before i upload it I downsized the screenshot from 2048x15xx to 800x600. Hope that helps.
 
Generally it's best to turn off the flash when you take photos of the screen because the flash disperses off the Anti-glare and you end up with white flash effects on it.

This should also increase the exposure time a bit even in Auto mode, so you have to be fairly "shake free" when you take these photos or use some form of image stabliizer if it's built-in to the camera. If you turn up the ISO level it will induce some graininess, so try and stay with ISO level 80 or 100. I think 80 is default on your camera.

Some cameras are better on Auto than others taking pix of "light sources"...

Not that my pictures are great. I think they're crappy, but they show what I want them to.

-Input lag

Worry not, the one field that TN panels consistently outperforms the more expansively priced PVA, MVA, and IPS panels is its excellent response time. The V2400W is no exception, there are definitely no noticeable input lags that the user would experience that could hinder the enjoyment of PC Gaming with the default 5ms response time. Not to mention another layer of safety net of the 2ms response time overdrive.

Pixel response time has nothing to do with input lag. While I am sure the LCD has low input lag like the G2400W, you cannot go by feel and must test it next to a CRT to get hard numbers.
 
I tested it yesterday next to my CRT and was getting consistently in the 5-20ms range (usually around 10ms) . I imagine true input lag on this monitor is in the 10-20ms range which is fairly low.

I tested my Westinghouse LVM-42W2 as well and it was in the 20-30ms range which for a 42" LCD is not that bad.
 
Okay- I'm convinced. I'm going to have two of these for my upcoming build.

But where can I get them??? Everywhere I look says "backorder" or "out of stock." Vaporware, anyone?

By the way, the way that these reviews were done was fantastic. I have read them all and each was well thought out and thorough. Big props to Kyle, the [H], BenQ (well kinda, even though I couldn't buy the monitors anywhere if I was going to today), and especially the reviewers for really hitting this one out of the park. Hey, it convinced me to buy, and I'm a tad picky.
 
Fantastic review! Im looking into a 24" Monitor and this thing looks smoking for a TN panel. I have an S-IPS right now but wow that thing looks sexy.
 
BenQ store is also offering free shipping till 9/30...don't miss it since this monitor is huge!
