BenQ VW2420H Series VA LED Backlit LCD Monitor Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

BenQ’s VW2420H series is presented as an LED backlit VA panel monitor in this unboxing and first look by Linus Tech Tips. The video begins by outlining what makes this model distinctive: a 24-inch, 1080p monitor that uses a VA panel, marketed with a wide viewing angle claim of 178 degrees, and packed with premium features such as an adjustable stand, multiple input options, and an external power brick. Linus discusses the tradeoffs of panel technology, noting that VA and IPS generally outperform TN in color reproduction and viewing angle, while acknowledging that real-world results depend on manufacturing and panel uniformity. The host details the on-paper specs including brightness around 250 nits, a contrast ratio of 3000:1, and a dynamic contrast claim of up to 20 million to 1, then proceeds to the unboxing, describing the packaging protection and the included contents like the manual, power brick, and VGA cable. He also comments on the monitor’s slim profile, comparing its thickness to an iPhone 4 to give viewers a sense of scale, and points out the gold accent on the base as a design touch. The process moves from opening the box to a hands-on look at the back panel, the inputs (HDMI, DVI, VGA, a headphone out), and the on-screen display controls, leading to a practical assessment of the stand and overall aesthetics. Linus concludes that BenQ is among the few manufacturers that clearly communicates the panel type used, suggesting that other brands often obfuscate panel identity, and ends with a call to subscribe for more unboxings, reviews, and computer videos.
