1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,359 your eyes are delicate instruments one wrong move and you could damage them for 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,160 life which makes you kind of Wonder Could blasting them with light from our 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:15,320 monitors be hurting them is there a better 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:19,640 solution meet the paperlike 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:23,880 u253 a monitor by Samsung I mean daung 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:27,199 that is 25.3 in curved well kind of runs 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,439 at 3K resolution and most importantly 8 00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,600 uses e in a panel technology that I have 9 00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:36,399 never before today seen in a desktop 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,600 monitor it promises to change the game when it comes to Eye Health could it 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,920 make a difference or is dasung healthfully eyeing a way to game you of 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,320 your spare change iink is far from new technology but it wasn't until Amazon 13 00:00:47,199 --> 00:00:54,879 introduced the Kindle about a decade and a half ago that it really hit the main 14 00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:57,000 stream which wait that's 15 years how is 15 00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:02,039 it that it took this long for someone to take that technology that people love 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:07,960 for how easy it is on the eyes and try to put it in a monitor maybe because 17 00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:11,840 it's not a very good idea with that said 18 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:14,119 dung might be on to it even if uh you 19 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:19,040 guys saw the title this ain't it Chief but this is a segue to our sponsor 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,119 keeper keeper is an endtoend encrypted password manager that's trusted by 21 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,880 millions of people plus they now support pass Keys the gateway to a passwordless 22 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,159 future wow and our audience can save 50% 23 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,560 today on personal and family plans at the link down below for all its flaws 24 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,960 it's absolutely a head turner we had this out when people were doing tours 25 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,520 during LTX and literally everyone's like 26 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,520 wa what's that there are a few reasons why eink has taken so long to come to 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,360 the desktop and to understand those reasons we need to understand the 28 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:56,280 technology e in which is kind of the kleenex of electrophoretic displays 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,119 works by suspending charged pigment particles in a capsule that's filled 30 00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:04,280 with viscous fluid these capsules are placed between two layers of transparent 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,640 electrodes that can send a charge attracting the particles to either side 32 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:13,680 of the capsule so if you zoom way in and slow things down a bit you can actually 33 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:17,720 see the individual capsules floating to the surface you put a bunch of those 34 00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:22,120 capsules in an array and suddenly you have an e in display now you might think 35 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,160 hey this could lead to a few problems I mean if the particles are as big as they 36 00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,200 are and they are physically moving through a viscous fluid how do we 37 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:36,160 refresh the display quickly that's the neat part you don't despite touting 38 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:43,239 ultra high refresh technology this monitor maxes out at a whopping 15 Hertz 39 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,040 15 times it refreshes every second but 40 00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:48,120 before we get too into the weeds let's take a look at the features on this 41 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:53,120 thing one of my favorite things about it is watch this as I unplug everything to 42 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,599 show you guys the io it doesn't need power in order to 43 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:03,640 retain the last image that was on the screen I mean it'll degrade eventually 44 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,120 eventually but ah cool right anyway it's 45 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:14,720 got a built-in two Port USB hub built-in audio jack it has height adjust pivot 46 00:03:09,239 --> 00:03:17,760 swivel and Power in DisplayPort USBC in 47 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,319 very nice as well as an HDMI port lonus 48 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:26,159 you missed the grills for the speakers uh it's not that I missed them it's that I just wouldn't want to use them I mean 49 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,120 okay all right the girl really they're 50 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:32,040 pointing out Sideways from behind the monitor how good could they sound right 51 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,319 I mean they're not going to sound great but they're there it's a nice option 52 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,840 it's true what he says honestly speaking I'm glossing through this as fast as I 53 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,720 can because I desperately want to try this I've had to look at this on his 54 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:47,200 desk for the last two flipping weeks is that as good as it manages to do 55 00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:51,159 converting to gray scale I'm going to give you a quick little tutorial on how 56 00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:57,680 to use it oh look you're learning thanks these six buttons are 57 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:01,879 very important they allow you to change 58 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,159 oo not backlight front light exactly 59 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:07,519 because eink is a reflecting display if you keep pressing that button you'll 60 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:14,079 find that there's different color front light reading mode yeah P yeah also it's 61 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,639 not really very even you can tell it's very edge lit reminds me of the Game Boy 62 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,680 s when you have it on does the C manually refresh the display yes so if I 63 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:30,160 could press this 15 times per second no no okay different modes graphic mode 64 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,400 text mode video mode hm why don't we 65 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,160 start with text mode it seems to be a contrast control of some sort exactly I 66 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,360 think the funniest part about this is that you can see that the heads up 67 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,320 display just kind of stays on if you get like a window unless it gets refreshed 68 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:50,759 exactly wow what a nice I know where could I get one like that LTT Store.com 69 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,360 oh okay I mean this is 70 00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:56,639 um oh that logo is still burned in there 71 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,360 is that what clear does exactly if you've used e-readers before you'll 72 00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:06,160 notice like when you change a page you see the whole screen flash it's refreshing every pixel a couple of times 73 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:09,400 to totally separate out the e in because when you have all those charged 74 00:05:07,479 --> 00:05:11,720 particles in there if you have a bunch of positive particles and negative 75 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:17,720 particles they're going to be attracted to each other sometimes so they don't always 100% clean I can see that afraid 76 00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:23,759 to know what it's going to look like if I just Mouse wheel down oh wow you can 77 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:28,240 see all these post counts in between here yikes wo wo go back go back go back 78 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:31,240 go back go back go back look at what that I don't understand there's many 79 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,199 things going on on the display that there like worth talking about one I 80 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:41,720 don't know why this happens but you'll notice that here where we're supposed to have like a gray background yeah it's 81 00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:46,160 doing some dithering because e in you're either black or you're not or you have 82 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:52,720 to find sub pixels that don't exist on this monitor to make gray you just use 83 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,560 actual pixels meaning that your text is 84 00:05:52,720 --> 00:06:00,039 not necessarily going to be that sharp unless you tweak your contrast and make 85 00:05:57,479 --> 00:06:06,160 sure that there are no Shades of Gray and as you can see there's supposed to 86 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:08,240 be text up here oh no so you're saying 87 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,319 we found the one scenario where dark mode is not better yeah it's 88 00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:16,639 substantially worse it's way more distracting to have bright ghosting than 89 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:21,680 it is to have dark ghosting I can tweak the contrast to make that show up it's 90 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:25,160 still not a great experience terrifying here well let's go to something that's 91 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:31,319 more of like an article uh as soon as I scroll it just turns into a 92 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,840 mess a readable mess 93 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:38,000 can I adjust the brightness yeah so if you want to adjust you just hold it you 94 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,599 hold that and you hold the light and then you press plus or minus man the 95 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:46,440 amount of just faffing about with this thing to get it to look decent and all 96 00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:48,560 your different content I just clear it 97 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,120 you can download software but it doesn't offer a ton of benefits the best one is 98 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,680 that you can make a shortcut to clear the display or you can set it to refresh 99 00:06:54,039 --> 00:07:00,160 every 30 seconds but that's super distracting cuz just randomly the whole 100 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:05,120 thing you're like it's very jarring we're experiencing some video whether we 101 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,639 intended to or not I mean it's watchable 102 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,560 one thing I want to take a look at is that I think we're currently in one of 103 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,000 the fastest modes I think it boots up at the highest refresh rate no I put it in 104 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:18,400 text mode no that's not that doesn't Define your refresh rate oh the 105 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:24,440 different modes defines like how it handles contrast okay how do I change 106 00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:27,000 the other modes M and plus switches you 107 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:34,599 from the five modes you got fast you got fast Plus 108 00:07:30,919 --> 00:07:37,319 you got fast plus plus you got fast plus 109 00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:40,680 plus plus okay how many pluses are there there's four pluses now this is the 110 00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:44,080 fastest refresh rate why would I ever turn it off of the fastest refresh rate 111 00:07:42,919 --> 00:07:50,800 well you were complaining about the ghosting right oh I see it's terrible 112 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,840 it's a different kind of awful they're both awful yeah this is far more smear 113 00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:01,240 yeah and the contrast is lower and I don't mean contrast in terms of how the 114 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:08,159 processor in the monitor is taking the input and assigning it to black or white 115 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,720 or gray I mean the actual level of black 116 00:08:08,159 --> 00:08:14,080 and the level of white are closer to each other the contrast ratio and you 117 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,080 can really see it when you look really close on sort of dark colors you can see 118 00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:21,560 it's just like not filled in yeah right that's cuz the in doesn't make it to the 119 00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:26,159 surface in time for your refresh and it's much darker even if the ghosting is 120 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:30,039 absolutely still present I wasn't sure how fast fast was but I think I could 121 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:35,080 literally count it and I think it's four frames per 122 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,919 second time to view video I guess 123 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,360 everything's kind of nightmarish I think you're right I think it's about four frames per second I'm trying to move the 124 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,760 mouse around it's very challenging to be clear we didn't bring this in to hate on 125 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:52,360 it I was actually very excited to see this technology in a monitor and I think 126 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:54,640 for a certain user even this first 127 00:08:52,360 --> 00:09:00,519 generation implementation and you know who you are you're probably 128 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,600 going yes this video did not kill the 129 00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:08,320 Radio Star though this will like Etch A Sketch away I'm sure captions are going 130 00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:12,160 to be a problem PlayStation logo any 131 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,480 text is really distracting but oh man 132 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:18,279 look at the smears from the headset just following it around we could mess with 133 00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:22,519 the contrast a little bit maybe that'll give oh my God yeah that did not improve 134 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:27,480 anything Adam you actually you managed to make it worse substantially worse 135 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:30,279 good job okay yeah yeah right there 136 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:35,120 right there that's the spot you can save a single preset to this monitor so that 137 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,760 it will always boot into that one uhuh I don't know how to change it to that 138 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:42,160 preset once it's already on but it will boot to it which I mean it makes sense 139 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,480 if you go like I'm using this to type my scripts I need what's the best way to 140 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:51,519 make word look good yeah I would never have this as my primary monitor but as a 141 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,839 secondary display you really can't have this as a primary monitor because of 142 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,440 just how grayscale works when you have two colors that are different but have 143 00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:01,360 the same brightness they look identical 144 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,240 you'd never know what's a clickable link versus what's just text on a page 145 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:10,680 exactly it can be really frustrating I was worried about this before and I was 146 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:15,680 right the longer you actually just let it run without doing a refresh the more 147 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:20,120 washed out it ends up looking you can see it's gotten pretty hard to look at 148 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:24,440 now I mean I do have to say the viewing angles on it are great oh man I can't 149 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:29,040 even tell that this web browser isn't open anymore that's rough they also say 150 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,560 that the best way to use this is by setting your desktop wallpaper to be Pure White so that you don't have that 151 00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:38,240 kind of ghosting look at that gradient let's stop showing what it's not good at 152 00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:41,800 for a bit though yeah how about just for word processing I'm going to put it in 153 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:45,600 text mode maybe tweak the contrast a little bit oh I'm going to slow down the 154 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:49,639 speed a bit too you definitely need to be a confident typist if you really want 155 00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:54,399 to take advantage of the slower ones also the text doesn't look that good on 156 00:10:51,800 --> 00:11:02,440 text mode and find it very frustrating yeah I mean this is supposedly 3200 by 157 00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:04,880 1800 resol that does not look like a 158 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:09,320 3200 by 1800 display I think the issue is that text smoothing is done on a sub 159 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,639 pixel level which this doesn't have so it's just getting these really weird 160 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,880 signals of brightness and trying to like interpret them so it makes things really 161 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:22,480 grainy whereas when you have something like on your Kindle where it's a 162 00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:25,079 dedicated OS it knows it's one to one no 163 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:29,519 sub pixels things just look smoother an obvious solution would be to adjust 164 00:11:27,079 --> 00:11:33,320 clear type just turn it off that's going to work in the programs that use Clear 165 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:38,279 type this is the Kindle scribe man look how much better that gray scale looks I 166 00:11:35,079 --> 00:11:39,959 can erase this and it refreshed it it 167 00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:44,160 refreshes like part of it if that's all it needs and then if it needs more it's 168 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:48,560 like no no I need more I'll do the whole thing why doesn't this do that it's 169 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:54,279 receiving the video signal because dasung probably doesn't have the same 170 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:56,480 R&D budget as Amazon you know what for 171 00:11:54,279 --> 00:12:01,519 just typing though it's really easy on the eyes of 172 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:05,399 like it really is though I would never want to use even the front light I would 173 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,360 just want to have a comfortable amount of ambient light in my room and just uhh 174 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:16,000 oh we haven't even played video games on it I can't even uh see dark steeve 175 00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:24,240 adjust your contrast can it run crisis yeah for mode I'm kind of feeling video 176 00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:28,279 mode DD overlays just chill I'll be I'll be your clear guy you just you just yell 177 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:33,920 clear whenever you want it and I'll press the button okay this is a good 178 00:12:31,839 --> 00:12:41,800 solution clear oh look at that clean uh 179 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:47,120 clear clean clear wait can't we skip this intro 180 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,519 probably not it's 2006 now it seems like it's a good time to talk about the 181 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:54,440 letter that daong includes with the monitor oo a letter yeah we know that 182 00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:58,199 eing products have distinct disadvantages but they also have 183 00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:02,440 advantages and as long as you understand the shortcomings those can be worthwhile 184 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,160 depending on your use case which honestly I think I agree with that makes 185 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:11,440 me very excited about what they have coming in the future they're going to 186 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:15,720 release a color e Inc version of this monitor so we could be looking at a 187 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:20,959 product from them again very very soon one that I am way more exciteder about 188 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,040 yeah having the color will solve so many contrast issues make things a lot easier 189 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:28,120 to see has the potential to make a huge difference uh it's nighttime in this 190 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,720 part of the game isn't it speaking of the positives that they 191 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,399 bring up on their website I want to contest some of their claims as they're 192 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:39,880 a bit spous they claim things like it's good for people with myopia which is 193 00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:42,800 nearsightedness there is no benefit to using an e Inc monitor if you're 194 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,600 nearsighted they also claim that it's good for digital I Trin but there's no 195 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:50,040 conclusive evidence that eink will help the issue of digital eye strain comes 196 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:54,079 from not refocusing your eyes and staring at the same thing for a long 197 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,519 long time eink doesn't change that it's still a monitor it's still not very far 198 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:03,560 away your eyes are still going to get strained but a big part of the strain is 199 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,480 a the lack of focusing and B that people forget to Blink as much and then your 200 00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:11,440 eyes aren't lubricated and they dry out if you do have digital eye strain you 201 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:15,120 should try and follow the 20202 rule which is every 20 minutes take 20 202 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:18,600 seconds to look at something that's 20 ft away that way you let your eyes 203 00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:21,800 refocus you work out some of the extra muscles for focusing your eyes it'll 204 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:27,560 help a lot how about you work out the muscle for clearing the display so I can see what the heck I'm doing here I don't 205 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:34,000 think it helped no it really didn't the only thing complicating this matter is 206 00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:37,279 the cost it's uh $2,000 seems like a 207 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,480 value to me right there okay this is the 208 00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:44,519 only setting that works at all what mode are you in I'm in game mode fast plus 209 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:53,320 plus plus plus is that four pluses four pluses of fast 210 00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:55,040 clear um I think I got him wow keeper 211 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,600 one of the most important steps to take
