BenQ has in recent times become very popular for their monitors. They have a range of affordable offerings for gamers and mainstream desktop users. Their 2420HD models from the G and E series have been extremely popular amongst gamers. BenQ launches their new 24-inch EW2430V model in the market.
Features
For the long period, customers have been used to using TN panels. They’re cheaper, have a good response time, but they lack sorely in colour reproduction. The BenQ uses a VA panel that’s lit up using LEDs. The monitor is based on a full HD 1920x1080 resolution panel. Being a VA panel, BenQ claims that the response time is 8ms. Most TN panel displays are advertised with having a response time of under 5ms in comparison. How much it really affects the performance is something we’ll look at when we get to the performance testing.
The display also comes with a pair of built-in speakers. Connectivity options are plentiful as well. The standard D-Sub, DVI and audio ports input/output are available. There are two HDMI ports, which should be handy if you have multiple sources that require HDMI such as DTH services and gaming consoles. There’s also component connectors for video and audio. The display also has a built-in USB hub - there are four ports in all.
Design and Build Quality
The BenQ EW2430V is a solid monitor and it’s evident from the weight of the package. The stand is solid and heavy. Attaching it to the display is very simple as well - it’s just a matter of tightening a screw. The stand isn’t flexible and only allows for minimal movement.
The design of the display is great. The display has black bezel whereas the lower panel and the staff have a silver coloured finish to it. The only button visible from the front is the power button. All of the display controls are hidden at the back of the monitor with controls clearly marked at the front. This makes it a little inconvenient to use. Thankfully, you’ll only have to use those controls occasionally.
