BenQ EW2440L Review

Lacus — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 19:01:03 +0800

Hi all!

It's good to be back, been a while since i last did a review.

Firstly, I would like to thank both [@Goldfries] and BenQ Malaysia for providing the monitor for review.

Secondly, i would like to thank [@Neo|ofGeo] also for personally delivering the monitor early in the morning. Your effort is appreciated bro

And it's good to be back! Been a while since i last did a review though.

Today, i'm kinda gonna review the BenQ EW2440L monitor.

The BenQ EW2440 is one of the thin bezel monitor i have seen at the moment. It's using VA Panel, not IPS though.

Here's how the monitor looks like. [Please click it for a bigger image for every images if it's too small]

The available ports from top to bottom:-
1. VGA
2. HDMI
3. MHL HDMI for mobile devices
4. Line in
5. Audio jack
6. Power Adapter slot/port

Side view of the monitor, it's pretty thing and i like it very much. Pretty good if one wants to do multi monitor/display configuration due to the thin bezel.

Next, we proceed to the this special dock/holder where one can put their mobile device there. It's comes in pretty handy for people to put their phone but in this case, my padfone does not fit due to the bottom of the phone is not flat

Just press it once and the dock/holder opens up. [As seen below]

Throughout the whole time using the monitor, i was pretty impress with the image quality. Even watching anime and gaming with this monitor feels different.
One thing i like a lot about the monitor was this Low Blue Light Mode which at the begining seems a bit annoying but prolong usage, my eye don't feel tired/strain with the feature being turned on.

What's Low Blue Light Mode?[Taken from BenQ website]

Low Blue Light Mode

Every Monitor produces a strain of blue spectrum light that is one of the critical causes of eye damage, eye strain, headaches and sleeping disorders. BenQ’s unique Low Blue Light technology is designed to deal with the everyday problem of blue light exposure and allows a healthier time spent in front of your computer. Switch to one of the four preset Low Blue Light Modes from OSD hot key (Multimedia – 30% reduction, Web-surfing – 50% reduction, Office – 60% reduction, Reading – 70% reduction), and reward your eyes without having to lose the visual enjoyment.

Diablo 3 . Tested some other games too but haven't go much time to have picture taken. Gaming and watching anime on this monitor was way better comparing to my old monitor (uses TN panel)

My personal view regarding this monitor:-

- Thin Bezel, good for multi display configuration
- Pleasent to the eyes with BenQ's Low Blue Light Technology.
- Flicker free (can be seen as one does not see any flikering from image taken)
- MHL-HDMI, ideal for smart phones
- Dock/holder to put smart phones
- Touch sensitive buttons
- Internal speakers.
- Vibrant colors

The cons:-

Instead they gave a VGA cable
- No VESA mounting supported
- Dock/holder may not fit all phone, especially bigger phones
- Non Adjustable tilt, it's fixed sadly.

I hope everyone enjoyed this brief/mini/honest review of the BenQ EW2440L. Too bad i had to returned it to [@goldfries] though i tried my very best to delay it longer so i can enjoice using it

This monitor is sold at SRP of Rm799.

Intel LGA1155 P67/Z68/Z77/Z87 v2

Lacus — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 14:47:12 +0800

Intel have been producing Sandy Bridge samples in volume since Q1 2010, and have begun shipping thousands of Sandy Bridge CPU samples to its customers.

Due in part to the fact that Sandy Bridge processors require a new 6-series chipset, socket H1 and H2 won't be compatible with each other and in good old Intel's transition philosophy, you will need to swap out and upgrade your motherboard in order to make your new 32nm desktop CPU work.

New Roadmap:

[Unboxing/Review]MSI Big Bang Z77 MPower

Lacus — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 23:58:49 +0800

A simple Unboxing of the Latest Big Bang Series Motherboard from MSI

MSI Big Bang Z77 MPower

Some Preview in the mean time.

The Box

Layout of the Motherboard

The Heatsink Part 1

The Heatsink Part 2

The Heatsink Part 3

The Heatsink Part 4

Apparently according to MSI, this new heatsink is based on Twin Forzr IV design. Seriously like the looks of the new heatsink and the motherboard color =P.. Black and Yellow

Back panel of the motherboard, comes with a bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi 802.11 B/G/N too .. Not bad.

Finally, a board that has 4 pin fan controllers. MSI had this implemented on this board and apparently users are able to control the fan speed from the board... Interesting.. Shall do some testing later tonight.

Scythe, a brand that always hard to find over here.. And recently they already have a distributor over malaysia. I'm always a fan of Scythe since they always make great fans. It was quite hard to look for their items last time as they are not available over here. And also I'm sure i'm not only the Scythe user here ....Over here, all users are able to get some feedbacks and reviews of Scythe products. Anyone that owns scythe stuff is welcome here
