3D gaming an LED backlit glory

BenQ XL2410T is a first 120 Hz monitor which has an LED backlit LCD screen. The 23.6 inch wide screen TN panel monitor has a matte clack bezel which prevents any background reflection that can be distracting. The rectangular stand is very sturdy. XL 2410T’s height can be adjusted and it also has the ability to be mounted in a vertical alignment. Recessed display ports are a good idea and it sports HDMI, DVI as well as VGA ports. Overall ergonomics are really good except for the placement of monitor control buttons under the base in the bottom right hand corner. Blindly operating the monitor will take some learning.

The monitor allows you to set monitor profiles for up to two games and has a special FPS mode. You also have the option of picture-by-picture mode which allows you to get two video feeds (HDMI/DVI and HDMI/VGA) onto your monitor.

Since it has a TN panel, we got a moderate contrast ratio of 280:1 in Spyder3Elite benchmark. We also noticed a slight reddish tinge in the black and white intensity ramp tests. HD movie viewing was a great experience though we noticed some amount of backlight bleeding in completely dark scenes.

As for 3D experience, the 3D still image viewing was flawless. As far as 3D gaming goes, all we can tell you is, yes we were able to play 3D content. Was it good? Well, it was as good (or bad) as the state of 3D technology is right now. Scenes in Crysis with dense forests did not give very good depth.

It is priced at a jaw dropping Rs 31,200. It’s clearly targeted at the niche hardcore gamers.
