WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.359 your eyes are delicate instruments one wrong move and you could damage them for 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.160 life which makes you kind of Wonder Could blasting them with light from our 00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:15.320 monitors be hurting them is there a better 00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:19.640 solution meet the paperlike 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:23.880 u253 a monitor by Samsung I mean daung 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:27.199 that is 25.3 in curved well kind of runs 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:30.439 at 3K resolution and most importantly 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.600 uses e in a panel technology that I have 00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:36.399 never before today seen in a desktop 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.600 monitor it promises to change the game when it comes to Eye Health could it 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.920 make a difference or is dasung healthfully eyeing a way to game you of 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.320 your spare change iink is far from new technology but it wasn't until Amazon 00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:54.879 introduced the Kindle about a decade and a half ago that it really hit the main 00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:57.000 stream which wait that's 15 years how is 00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:02.039 it that it took this long for someone to take that technology that people love 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 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:11.840 it's not a very good idea with that said 00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:14.119 dung might be on to it even if uh you 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 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.119 keeper keeper is an endtoend encrypted password manager that's trusted by 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.880 millions of people plus they now support pass Keys the gateway to a passwordless 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:31.159 future wow and our audience can save 50% 00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:35.560 today on personal and family plans at the link down below for all its flaws 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:39.960 it's absolutely a head turner we had this out when people were doing tours 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:42.520 during LTX and literally everyone's like 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 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:51.360 the desktop and to understand those reasons we need to understand the 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:56.280 technology e in which is kind of the kleenex of electrophoretic displays 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.119 works by suspending charged pigment particles in a capsule that's filled 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:04.280 with viscous fluid these capsules are placed between two layers of transparent 00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:08.640 electrodes that can send a charge attracting the particles to either side 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 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:17.720 see the individual capsules floating to the surface you put a bunch of those 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:22.120 capsules in an array and suddenly you have an e in display now you might think 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 00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.200 are and they are physically moving through a viscous fluid how do we 00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:36.160 refresh the display quickly that's the neat part you don't despite touting 00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:43.239 ultra high refresh technology this monitor maxes out at a whopping 15 Hertz 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.040 15 times it refreshes every second but 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 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.120 thing one of my favorite things about it is watch this as I unplug everything to 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.599 show you guys the io it doesn't need power in order to 00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:03.640 retain the last image that was on the screen I mean it'll degrade eventually 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:06.120 eventually but ah cool right anyway it's 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 00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:17.760 swivel and Power in DisplayPort USBC in 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:19.319 very nice as well as an HDMI port lonus 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 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.120 okay all right the girl really they're 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:32.040 pointing out Sideways from behind the monitor how good could they sound right 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 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 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 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:47.200 desk for the last two flipping weeks is that as good as it manages to do 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:51.159 converting to gray scale I'm going to give you a quick little tutorial on how 00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:57.680 to use it oh look you're learning thanks these six buttons are 00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:01.879 very important they allow you to change 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:04.159 oo not backlight front light exactly 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:07.519 because eink is a reflecting display if you keep pressing that button you'll 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:14.079 find that there's different color front light reading mode yeah P yeah also it's 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 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 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:30.160 could press this 15 times per second no no okay different modes graphic mode 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:32.400 text mode video mode hm why don't we 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:36.160 start with text mode it seems to be a contrast control of some sort exactly I 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.360 think the funniest part about this is that you can see that the heads up 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:44.320 display just kind of stays on if you get like a window unless it gets refreshed 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 00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:54.360 oh okay I mean this is 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.639 um oh that logo is still burned in there 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:59.360 is that what clear does exactly if you've used e-readers before you'll 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 00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:09.400 to totally separate out the e in because when you have all those charged 00:05:07.479 --> 00:05:11.720 particles in there if you have a bunch of positive particles and negative 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 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 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 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 00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:35.199 things going on on the display that there like worth talking about one I 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 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 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 00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:55.560 actual pixels meaning that your text is 00:05:52.720 --> 00:06:00.039 not necessarily going to be that sharp unless you tweak your contrast and make 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 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:08.240 be text up here oh no so you're saying 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.319 we found the one scenario where dark mode is not better yeah it's 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:16.639 substantially worse it's way more distracting to have bright ghosting than 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 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:25.160 still not a great experience terrifying here well let's go to something that's 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:31.319 more of like an article uh as soon as I scroll it just turns into a 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:33.840 mess a readable mess 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 00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:41.599 hold that and you hold the light and then you press plus or minus man the 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:46.440 amount of just faffing about with this thing to get it to look decent and all 00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:48.560 your different content I just clear it 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 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 00:06:54.039 --> 00:07:00.160 every 30 seconds but that's super distracting cuz just randomly the whole 00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:05.120 thing you're like it's very jarring we're experiencing some video whether we 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.639 intended to or not I mean it's watchable 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 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 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:18.400 text mode no that's not that doesn't Define your refresh rate oh the 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:24.440 different modes defines like how it handles contrast okay how do I change 00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:27.000 the other modes M and plus switches you 00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:34.599 from the five modes you got fast you got fast Plus 00:07:30.919 --> 00:07:37.319 you got fast plus plus you got fast plus 00:07:34.599 --> 00:07:40.680 plus plus okay how many pluses are there there's four pluses now this is the 00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:44.080 fastest refresh rate why would I ever turn it off of the fastest refresh rate 00:07:42.919 --> 00:07:50.800 well you were complaining about the ghosting right oh I see it's terrible 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 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 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:08.159 processor in the monitor is taking the input and assigning it to black or white 00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:10.720 or gray I mean the actual level of black 00:08:08.159 --> 00:08:14.080 and the level of white are closer to each other the contrast ratio and you 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 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 00:08:19.599 --> 00:08:26.159 surface in time for your refresh and it's much darker even if the ghosting is 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.039 absolutely still present I wasn't sure how fast fast was but I think I could 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:35.080 literally count it and I think it's four frames per 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.919 second time to view video I guess 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 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 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:52.360 it I was actually very excited to see this technology in a monitor and I think 00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:54.640 for a certain user even this first 00:08:52.360 --> 00:09:00.519 generation implementation and you know who you are you're probably 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.600 going yes this video did not kill the 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:08.320 Radio Star though this will like Etch A Sketch away I'm sure captions are going 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:12.160 to be a problem PlayStation logo any 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:14.480 text is really distracting but oh man 00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:18.279 look at the smears from the headset just following it around we could mess with 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 00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:27.480 anything Adam you actually you managed to make it worse substantially worse 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.279 good job okay yeah yeah right there 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 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 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 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 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 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:54.839 secondary display you really can't have this as a primary monitor because of 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:59.440 just how grayscale works when you have two colors that are different but have 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.360 the same brightness they look identical 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 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:10.680 exactly it can be really frustrating I was worried about this before and I was 00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:15.680 right the longer you actually just let it run without doing a refresh the more 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 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 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:29.040 even tell that this web browser isn't open anymore that's rough they also say 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 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 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 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 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:49.639 speed a bit too you definitely need to be a confident typist if you really want 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:54.399 to take advantage of the slower ones also the text doesn't look that good on 00:10:51.800 --> 00:11:02.440 text mode and find it very frustrating yeah I mean this is supposedly 3200 by 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:04.880 1800 resol that does not look like a 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 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.639 pixel level which this doesn't have so it's just getting these really weird 00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:16.880 signals of brightness and trying to like interpret them so it makes things really 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:22.480 grainy whereas when you have something like on your Kindle where it's a 00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:25.079 dedicated OS it knows it's one to one no 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:29.519 sub pixels things just look smoother an obvious solution would be to adjust 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 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:38.279 type this is the Kindle scribe man look how much better that gray scale looks I 00:11:35.079 --> 00:11:39.959 can erase this and it refreshed it it 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 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 00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:54.279 receiving the video signal because dasung probably doesn't have the same 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.480 R&D budget as Amazon you know what for 00:11:54.279 --> 00:12:01.519 just typing though it's really easy on the eyes of 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 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.360 just want to have a comfortable amount of ambient light in my room and just uhh 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 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:24.240 adjust your contrast can it run crisis yeah for mode I'm kind of feeling video 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 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:33.920 clear whenever you want it and I'll press the button okay this is a good 00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:41.800 solution clear oh look at that clean uh 00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:47.120 clear clean clear wait can't we skip this intro 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 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:54.440 letter that daong includes with the monitor oo a letter yeah we know that 00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:58.199 eing products have distinct disadvantages but they also have 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:02.440 advantages and as long as you understand the shortcomings those can be worthwhile 00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:07.160 depending on your use case which honestly I think I agree with that makes 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.440 me very excited about what they have coming in the future they're going to 00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:15.720 release a color e Inc version of this monitor so we could be looking at a 00:13:13.760 --> 00:13:20.959 product from them again very very soon one that I am way more exciteder about 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:25.040 yeah having the color will solve so many contrast issues make things a lot easier 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.120 to see has the potential to make a huge difference uh it's nighttime in this 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.720 part of the game isn't it speaking of the positives that they 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:35.399 bring up on their website I want to contest some of their claims as they're 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.880 a bit spous they claim things like it's good for people with myopia which is 00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:42.800 nearsightedness there is no benefit to using an e Inc monitor if you're 00:13:41.160 --> 00:13:46.600 nearsighted they also claim that it's good for digital I Trin but there's no 00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:50.040 conclusive evidence that eink will help the issue of digital eye strain comes 00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:54.079 from not refocusing your eyes and staring at the same thing for a long 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 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 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 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.440 eyes aren't lubricated and they dry out if you do have digital eye strain you 00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:15.120 should try and follow the 20202 rule which is every 20 minutes take 20 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.600 seconds to look at something that's 20 ft away that way you let your eyes 00:14:16.959 --> 00:14:21.800 refocus you work out some of the extra muscles for focusing your eyes it'll 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 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:34.000 think it helped no it really didn't the only thing complicating this matter is 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:37.279 the cost it's uh $2,000 seems like a 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:39.480 value to me right there okay this is the 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 00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:53.320 plus plus plus is that four pluses four pluses of fast 00:14:47.839 --> 00:14:55.040 clear um I think I got
