Picture View 2 1: Initial impression of BenQ esports LCD.

Until the introduction of this generation of LCD products, individuals recognized the application characteristics of BenQ's LCD in e-sports. In the last generation, there may be many players who have good comments, but to be honest, it is not so amazing. Speaking of which, I wonder if I am looking for an endorsement (although in fact BenQ is really adjusting, that is, XD).

I think friends in related industries should be able to talk about the rise of the e-sports market in recent years. From my keyboard point of view, it can be said that it is a very amazing growth. Therefore, BenQ liquid crystal can enter this field, which is quite smart.

Of course, talking about games with an LCD is basically not creative. N years ago, when it emphasized the reaction time, it was already shouting. However, it is not so simple to really use the evolution of LCD specifications, but also to listen to the opinions of professional e-sports players and make great efforts to correct and improve them. At least when BenQ introduced XL24 10T, I thought he was lying to children (￣c￣)y▂ξ, which was no reason, but an image at most. From the whole positioning, I don't quite agree that the previous generation XL24 10 is a real professional e-sports positioning product. My feeling at that time was to produce a high-end product line and then modify it according to past experience and some professional opinions. In this case, you BenQ will be said to be the best example of professional e-sports, maybe you can't say no, after all, other brands didn't even spend effort, according to the specifications, this is a gamification LCD. Comparatively speaking, BenQ's products are still relatively good, but you will find some strange places. But after playing BenQ LCD this time, the whole person has changed. This is indeed a model XL2420T developed with e-sports as the guide. It's not original, but it's been modified and changed into a mode for e-sports.

The development of BenQ esports LCD is mainly in cooperation with Zowie, so you can see his keyboard on the spot (I mentioned it to the manufacturer and have the opportunity to lend it to me for testing. Although this has been used for a long time, some places are still curious, such as the keycap. Let's burn it and see what happens. (Keke).

However, I suspect that the LCD designed by BenQ is seriously influenced by Zowie. From the side, it really tastes a bit like a Zowie keyboard, and then it is black and red ... Although BenQ emphasized that the appearance has not been affected by cooperation, I think the degree of cooperation is really high ... so high that even the appearance is similar, it seems that it will not be strange to buy and match, haha. BenQ, why don't you just buy a screen and get a Zowie keyboard (￣c￣)y▂ξ.

In the image part, BenQ put forward something called "black balance". To put it simply, I hope that the invisible places in the dark can be adjusted into clearer pictures, but the bright pictures should not be changed, especially to avoid overexposure. Basically, this is not a new concept, but it will be difficult to do in practice. BenQ mentioned that it takes a lot of effort to get the recognition of professional gamers when adjusting such a picture. After all, walking in the dark, the overall color will definitely change. Unfortunately, the manufacturer won't tell me how to actually do it. Even if I did, I don't think I would understand XD. After all, some of your color adjustment algorithms are not so simple, although the concept is very simple. However, the result of my actual observation is that the color of the picture obviously changes after it is brightened in the dark, but since it is a color recognized by professional players, I think this change should be tolerable. The reason why there is a black balance design is mainly because opponents in FPS games may sneak up on you in the dark. If there is such a function, the chance of being ambushed can be effectively reduced (at least I know how I died (￣c￣)y▂ξ).

The concept of black balance existed before, and it should not be too strange to put forward a proper noun at most this time. But one thing, the concept of black balance has become quite valuable. Pay attention to what this man's right hand is doing.

Yes, that's what I want to introduce. It is not a mouse, but a good thing to adjust OSD! It controls OSD through USB interface on LCD. Don't talk about e-sports Do I have to press the button on the screen very hard every time I want to adjust the OSD? Some screens with a sense of design are motorcycles, and the buttons are designed on the back. When adjusting, there is only one dry word. Fortunately, OSD is not commonly used, not too bad.

But let's think about it. If you play the game of black balance, you have a good chance to use more than two situational modes. If so, it is likely that OSD will be used frequently. With this, it is very convenient. The wheel can be pressed down and has the function of middle button. There is an enter key next to it, which can control OSD. As for the bottom 1, 2, 3, three screen settings can be stored. You can save your three commonly used settings, so you don't need to enter OSD in the future. Just press 1, 2, 3 to switch between them.

Like the above two pictures, one is set in the option of 1 and the other is set in the option of 2. In order to see the difference in particular, different sizes are used. In the first generation, there were actually different screen designs, but in the second generation, it was expanded to seven kinds.

As for how to store it? It's actually quite simple. If the setting parameters of this screen are what you want now, just hold down the number. As shown in the above figure, "Player 3 Settings Saved" will appear on the screen to remind you that the setting of the third key is OK.

Not only this mechanism, but also a newly designed OSD, which is no longer the OSD before application, and the so-called "Senseye". As can be seen from the above picture, this OSD is actually full of e-sports XD.

As mentioned earlier, you can use this new shortcut mechanism to adjust the OSD.

On the back are brands and certification patterns.

Of course, it can still be adjusted in the traditional way, and the XL2420T uses touch buttons.

Oh, I almost forgot to say that this screen is 120Hz, remember NV? It is possible to watch 3D with glasses.

Not to mention the powerful functions of vertical lifting, left-right rotation and screen rotation, the previous generation has done everything it should. But I want to mention that his bracket is very stable and is made of aluminum alloy. Besides, it has a handle on it. To facilitate short-distance carrying.

There is also the design of earphone bracket, which can put headphones on it. It's really sweet.

The asking price of this model is 13900 yuan. Personally, I don't think it's cheap, but the price is reasonable. After all, I spent so much effort. Some people think that using TN panel is a big disadvantage, but to be honest, as far as I am concerned, VA or IPS panel is not necessarily better for e-sports screen. I have always thought that CRT is the best if you care about the problems related to dynamic afterimage, but it has been eliminated after all. If you look at it with LCD, TN will actually be a better choice. Of course, this varies from person to person, and everyone's tolerance is different. As for me, I prefer VA or IPS. After all, I am not mainly engaged in e-sports.

However, I have reservations about whether VA or IPS is used for setting LCD based on e-sports.

In addition, there are RL2240H models on site, which are mainly aimed at RTS real-time strategy games. There is no such quick mechanism design, but the black balance function is retained, and there are screen ratio setting functions of different sizes, 1080p, and the price is 5290 yuan. There is also a 24-inch RL2450H, asking for 7990 yuan.

If there are any shortcomings in the products announced by BenQ this time, to be honest, there are still some. And this is what I can't figure out.

The RL2450H in the above picture is obviously basically the shape architecture of XL series. Damn it! ... so much worse than RL2240H h. Normally, it should be the black version of RL2240H. If the manufacturer didn't say anything, I thought the above one was an entry-level version of XL. After all, XL 2420 13 thousand is also expensive.

Generally speaking, the appearance of the same series of products will have certain relevance. At most, the same series of products are different in shape. There are different shapes, that's all, but I haven't seen the same series of products with different shapes, and one of the different products is the shape of another series ... what kind of trick is this?

In addition to the peculiar design of the series, BenQ personally feels qualified to be called the first person in the field of e-sports LCD. In the past, BenQ LCD was not bad, maybe it was really good, but there was always a better choice, and BenQ couldn't get the first place. But this product, I really feel qualified to say first. In the LCD game, BenQ is qualified to be the first, and many ideas and designs are enough to become standard. If other manufacturers are interested in operating LCD in the field of e-sports, then BenQ's XL2420T is an absolute reference standard.

The relevant specifications of this product version are as follows:
