what's up baby in fact with another kick-ass monitor this monitor super cool
has at least three weird things about it that I haven't really seen too much
before number one it's a mini LED
monitor super fancy number two it has a
brightness of 1200 nits that's really bright and number three this is one of
the first monitors from be first monitor to support Dolby vision HDR which is
cooler than HDR 10 that you might be used to this is the kind of thing you
get when you get it like a workstation monitor that you would use for color
critical work so it just tells you how close to perfect all the different
colors are so it can be a very color accurate monitor yes this is the base
what is this oh this is a shroud this is a monitor hood it's gonna unfold and go
on the sides of the monitor so there's less glare and reflection just helps you
to see the picture more easily ASUS VIP
membership warranties thing I'm never
gonna read that whoa this comes with a display calibration tool I didn't know
that that's pretty cool this is a ASUS Pro art.i one display pro
from X write a generic cardboard box containing
I guess this could be a shroud to cover
the i/o on the back a quick start guide
and a bunch of cables looks like the
base is assembled and there's this cable
tie on here which I assume most people aren't gonna get that's just cuz I'm
special okay well as long as it still
has some stuff to peel I'm happy this
has a pretty big wide base on it which is nice or stability this is a nice
elegant stand it's got this little curvature to it a little nicer than
corporate I call it executive okay and here's the main event I can already tell
this thing is so thick it's like I'll tell you why it's because it's HD RAF
high dynamic range AF and a free boat
it's in there you 2 inches it's pretty
big you can see all these little badges here basically showing off how awesome
the color accuracy is on this puppy so it's a true 10 bit panel a lot of panels
claimed to be 10 bit but with the really are as 8 bit plus FRC which is frame
rate control it also says quantum dot technology which means there's a quantum
dot film in here and that gives you really awesome colors and lots of them
and you need all that color accuracy if you want to have a wide color gamut for
awesome HDR let's check out the back I
really like that goal that looks sharp plug for your power cord a switch just
like you find on the back of a PC power supply a headphone jack 3 HDMI 2.0 B
ports not HDMI 2.1 which would be cool
but still too futuristic I guess a single DisplayPort port but it's
DisplayPort 1.2 instead of 1.4 which is
a little disappointing on this monitor
but ok we can live with that then there's 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports these
type-c ports down here and that's so you can pass through and daisy chain through
this thing with Unreal 3 which is pretty cool and then we have three USB type aids
over here a regular Cayenne a Kensington lock pretty nice looking buttons the
feel isn't great honestly you can tell they're all kind of connected they all
move together when I press one up here you can see these other ones move and then you got a joystick which I always
like and this is a pretty nice some nice
glyphs over here too and of course designed by ASUS in Taiwan
obvious Apple rip off a lot of vents here see all this for the airflow
because this thing at twelve-hundred nits is gonna have a fat backlight look
how thick this thing is this is because it has full array local dimming which
means the backlight is behind the screen and blasting light that way
the reason it's cool that it's mini LED is that there's lots of different
lighting zones with LEDs that aren't mini you might only have up to you know
384 lighting zones on a 16 by 9 monitor
was pretty normal for a while there but that means that the lighting zones are
all about an inch by inch so when you're moving your mouse around you're gonna see a big kind of halo around the mouse
or if text comes up on the screen it'll just have bloomin white glow around it
instead of being really sharp but this with over eleven hundred and fifty
lighting zones they should be small enough to really mitigate that so we're
gonna check that out here that's a pretty smooth adjustment got some have
it Oh sick all the way to 90 how about
the other way both ways and tilt
and swivel wow that is a far swivel holy
cow this is sweet and look how low it goes to that is a grade-a monitor stat
the things that excite me alright we're here we're at 60 Hertz or a 10-bit color
let's check out the menu blue light filter look at the colors in here
brightness contrast saturation hue color temp data of 2.2 you want uniformity
compensation interesting Bowlby vision is grayed out right now
hmm so this is one of the first monitors with Dolby vision which sounds very cool
but it's also a red flag because if it's the first that means you're probably an
early adopter right well right now there's only two games I'd know about
that support Dolby vision that was being Mass Effect Andromeda and battlefield
not only that you need more than just the monitor and the game to support it
you also need your OS Windows and you need your graphics card it's pretty
bright in here so it's kind of hard to evaluate but I can see some halos around
my mouse but it's really small it's basically like three millimeters on
either side of my curser has a little glow not perfect we have to wait for
micro LED or have an OLED monitor for that but not about darkest blacks
compared to the brightest brights is quite a range the neon sign look totally
lifelike look at the light hitting that balloon that kids firework over there
yeah I can still see different clothing in the shadows that's awesome how its
kind of blown out on that bird and it's so small it's just on the birds back
pretty sweet showing in-game so let's check out some movies that is max volume
because there are two three watt
speakers man that light is so awesome
this movie really has awesome lighting I love how there's just little bits of
light just peeking through the shot all those little tiny glints off their armor
and helmets where the rest is in shadow and dark it's amazing it's great it's
just it's really good there's a lot more to say about this but this is short
circuit so if you want to learn a lot more about this watch the LTTE video
that's a forthcoming I mean it should be
great it's four thousand US dollars this is a piece of equipment for
professionals it's not for me to watch the tracking movies in HD are so if you want to see a deep dive
hit us up on our other channel thanks for watching ShortCircuit today I hope
you liked this video if you did get subscribed pretty up with a thumbs up
and also a comment because we'd like to hear from you see you later
