REVIEW: Yuraku YV24WBH1 (MVA) Part 3


Unfortunately, ergonomics are not a high priority on the Yuraku model. There is only one mechanism which is used to tilt the monitor 5 degrees forwards and 15 degrees backwards.

Yuraku YV24WBH1 at maximum tilting angle backwards, side view and maximum tilting angle forwards (pictures from left to right).

If you want to tilt your monitor, you would be best advised to hold the base steady with one hand in order to avoid a possible breakage. Unfortunately, you will have to do without a pivot function, height adjustment or side rotation of the monitor. However, if you do not want to live without ergonomic functions, you can use the VESA fixture (75 mm) provided to attach an optional monitor arm.

In the left picture, the screw holes are visible for the BESA fixture and the right picture shows the preparation for the Kensington lock.

However, the completely silent functioning of the monitor must be mentioned as a positive feature. The power unit used does not make itself evident through any humming or whirring. The heat it produces is dissipated through the top and side ventilation slots.

In terms of power consumption, the Yuraku YV24WBH1 proves itself to be a typical representative of its panel size class. The measurements we took are considerably lower than the manufacturer’s details in some cases.

Connectors

The range of connectors on the Yuraku model is clear. A D-Sub and a DVI-D connection are the only inputs for image display. HDCP support on the DVI input is optional. However, the test model we used can manage HDCP.

Picture shows the D-Sub connection, the DVI input and, on the very right, the sound input.

For playing back sound, the monitor comes with an audio input. The quality of the integrated speakers is moderate as expected. They should not be used to play back anything more than the sounds of the operating system.

Controls and OSD

The five buttons on the Yuraku are integrated into the centre of the lower silver decorative strip. As we mentioned before, the descriptions are hardly recognisable, so you need to move your face very close to the monitor in order to be able to make anything out. The power switch is directly above the LED, which glows a constant blue when the monitor is in use and begins to blink in standby mode. The buttons themselves are not illuminated but give good tactile feedback.

From left to right, the following buttons can be seen: A (Auto-adjust), M (Menu), Power, Minus (left) and Plus (right).

The Auto-adjust button is used to automatically adjust the monitor parameters and the position of the image. In DVI mode, it does not have a function – only in the case of connection via VGA does it adjust the image automatically. The Menu button opens the actual OSD. If you have been expecting an optically r graphically animated treat here, you will unfortunately be disappointed. The menu is as clear as the average menu, but is still intuitively usable. However, the individual points on the main menu can only be selected one after the other. If you just want to skip to the previous menu option, you will first have to click through the entire menu.
