BenQ G2420HDBL (LED Backlit) or BenQ G2420HD

Yaayuh! · 7 Sep 2011 at 20:12

So i think i'm going to RMA the G2420HDBL (LED) of mine. The center of the screen is darker than the sides, especially the top left corner. Unacceptable.

Please, tell us if your new benq has the same issues.

*SSSIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGHHHHH*

So i got the replacement monitor, but it's the G2420HD not HDBL (LED)... However, the picture is MUCH better. So i may just not tell them about it and carry one as i am.

Hmm I'm going to get 3 of these monitors for eyefinity.... But I dnt know which one to get.... How is the non LED version....

Tell me more about both plz... ^_^

Well the Non-LED version is actually really good. The backlight is even across the screen apart from the tiniest bit of bleed at the top when the brightness is high.
The colours are great and the image is really sharp. Overall i'm extremely impressed, espeically for the price.

The LED version however, the backlight was all over the shop and patchy. The strange warmness of the top left corner was the most annoying part. But you do get very dark blacks.
Can't really go on the LED version i had because i ended up sending it back as faulty, as it cleary was. So because of that i'll have to say the G2420HD was the better of the two.

Rossi, could you post a pic where we can see the black and the white quality? (a image with black image and other one with white image)

Anyone else finding ghosting on light backgrounds? Any ideas on how to get rid or improve the ghosting in anyway?

Waaaayy too sharp and bright on those settings. If anything it makes it worse.

I'm really tempted to go back to my 26" iiyama 1920x1200 and keep this 24" BenQ as my LAN monitor because it weighs next to nothing.

Confirm Size G2420HDBL

Hi Folks, First post be gentle

Looking to purchase two of G2420HDBL. I plan to mount them on the wall under some kitchen cabinets (have a 22" mounted already) so space is restrictive.

The BenQ website does show a size: With Wall Mount: 348.42 x 570 x 63.26 mm

Could someone be as kind just to conform that H 348.42 x W 570 with a tape measure that that size quoted is the edge of the bezel rather than the screen size. I'm guessing it is but as space is tight I really need to make sure.

Thanks in advance.

The dimensions should be correct as i was interested also before purchasing for my desk mounts. However, I will confirm this for you when i get home this evening. Watch this space.

Yaayuh! · 25 Oct 2011 at 18:14

Can confirm they are the dimensions when using a wallmount

H 348mm x W 570mm

Thanks for your help. Now the hard bit of getting it passed the bread knife

Is the Benq G2420HDBL out of production now? Cant seem to find them anywhere now....

Needed a 2nd one for my studio.

opethdisciple · 17 Nov 2011 at 16:17

I just bought this monitor 3 days ago.

Its nice, but needs a lot of tweaking to get a comfortable IQ.

Im going to try some of people suggestions for settings above.

baltazhor · 25 Dec 2011 at 00:11

I have noticed ghosting since I purchased this monitor but noticing it more lately. Would anyone mind taking a look at these see if they see anything.

Would be greatly appreciated if you could spare a few minutes and let me know if benq will help me out.

Blimey, thought this would be discontinued by now. Glad to see such a busy thread. Been enjoying my BenQ 2420HDBL for well over a year now with no problems, I don't think there is even 1 dead pixel either. Haven't calibrated it yet, but I'm colourblind so whatever.
