00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,920
When it comes to desk displays, Lionus is partial to 42 in. I'm partial to 32,

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,679
but Samsung made the 37 in 4K viewfinity

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:17,119
for anyone who wants something in between. That's right. You wouldn't

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,119
expect it to be, but this is a world's

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:24,640
first. I'm kind of surprised no one's made a 4K 37in monitor yet, but you

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:31,439
know, Samsung, they did it first. Let's open this up. Now, to be clear, this is

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,880
not a gaming monitor. at 60 Hz, so

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:39,760
maybe don't buy it if you're a gamer, but I love weirdly sized displays. That

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,719
LG Duelup, incredible monitor. You know, it's not for gaming, but it's still

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:49,120
sick. This is upside down. Give me a second. In the box, we've got a bunch of

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:51,440
cables, HDMI. I'm not saying 2.1 because

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:58,320
I don't think it is. Also, there is DisplayPort on here. It's only 1.2, but

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,879
it's not high refresh rate. Here's our

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:05,600
DisplayPort 1.2 cable. Well, okay, the cable's probably 1.4, but [laughter]

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,680
yeah, the port ain't. [music] Then we've got our power because yes, this is not

16
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:15,280
going into a brick. We're plugging in directly into our monitor. And lastly,

17
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:16,720
we've got a USB-C to C. Does it say if

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:23,360
there's power delivery or anything? I don't see it. And they've got this in here because, of course, this being more

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,799
of an office monitor, it is a KVM. And

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,080
we'll get to one of my favorite parts in a little bit cuz it's also got another

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,320
thing that's pretty uncommon when it comes to [music] displays. Simple user

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,479
guide. Cool. And it works for a lot of monitors cuz yep, this is just a pretty

23
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:40,960
standard boy here. And otherwise, we've just got like how to set up. This does

24
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:46,240
have a supposedly super easy to setup stand. I'm going to get to that shortly

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,479
here. Um I think it's toolless. Uh and

26
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,119
the website I watched I watched Samsung's promotional video for this.

27
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:58,320
They say you can do it in 5 seconds. I don't know about that. We'll try try our

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,521
best. Yeah. Here we go. That's the

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,600
stand. It looks pretty standard to me. [music] Standard. You like that? Then we've got

30
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,239
the base of our stand right here. Instead of the like traditional column

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,440
and a screw design, there is a column in the bottom of this one and that's key.

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,200
So, you slot it in and then you twist it and then it's done. probably sturdy

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,846
enough, but 37 inches

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,846
makes me a little nervous. [laughter]

35
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:32,879
37 in is like basically a TV. Um, I

36
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:37,040
can't wait to get this on the desk. But

37
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,480
first, let's try the 5-second stand.

38
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:46,080
The fastest monitor assembler in the Northwest. I never seen anybody do it this quick.

39
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,080
We going to go viral with this one.

40
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,319
Done. And then if you want to take it off,

41
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:57,040
Boom. >> Easier. >> Easier. Unless someone out there can

42
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,959
prove to me that this is like ultra flimsy. Um, and it's a bad design. I

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,720
guess maybe, you know, the button sticks out. So maybe you press it like you

44
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:08,319
stupidly put this down on your desk and there's a thing there and it magically

45
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,200
just so happens to be in line to press the button then it's disturbed and then

46
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,840
you move it and then it falls out. Maybe that can happen. Will it? Pro almost

47
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:21,840
definitely not. But until someone proves that that's a

48
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:24,319
thing, I love this. This is like

49
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,800
kind of amazing. And I really hope that everyone transitions [laughter] to this

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,440
system cuz like man, it's it's just that easy. Holy [ __ ] That's 5 seconds. I

51
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,000
couldn't believe it. Well, then, you know, I got it and I did it in like 2 seconds. So, yeah. This thing's awesome.

52
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:44,879
All right, let's get this thing out of the box. That's what cuz you know we're already so impressed by the stand

53
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:50,080
which by the way is a nice squared base. Very thin, easy to put stuff on, doesn't

54
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:54,959
really get in the way. And it's a relatively small footprint for a display

55
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:59,519
this big. [laughter] Oh man. Can I Can I do it onehanded?

56
00:03:58,422 --> 00:04:06,282
[snorts] >> Yeah. >> Oh, easy. >> Easy.

57
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,599
You don't need help for this one. Wow. [laughter]

58
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:13,920
Would you look at this? The back ain't nothing too fancy. It's not as special.

59
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Just some, you know, boring flat panel. Yeah. But then the front, we got this

60
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:23,360
majestic 37 in 4K monster.

61
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:27,919
Incredible. Uh, let's get this wiped up and then we'll take a quick look at the

62
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,560
IO. We've got our HDMI port, display

63
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:35,120
port, USBB, USBC, Kensington lock. Actually kind of

64
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,120
matters since this is meant to be in offices. [music] and our power

65
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:44,240
connector. And on our non-traditional side here, we've got our three USBA

66
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:49,040
ports as well as a headphone jack. And what I'm really excited about, Ethernet,

67
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:52,880
and it's gigabit. It's so like well balanced, too. Holding it actually feels

68
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,320
really easy with one hand. It's a really minor thing, but when you move a lot of

69
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,320
monitors around, like you get to tell when they feel really lopsided and

70
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:05,199
stuff. When it comes to adjustability, look at this.

71
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,919
It's actually quite a bit uh of rotation here. And then it should be able to tilt

72
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,039
as well.

73
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:14,800
And I don't no pivot. Sorry guys, no

74
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:19,120
pivot. But I mean it's a 37 [laughter] in panel.

75
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:25,160
Do you imagine it vertical? That'd actually be crazy, right? [laughter] Oh

76
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,160
man. Like here I can show you guys.

77
00:05:27,503 --> 00:05:32,720
[laughter and gasps] That's good. Okay, so it's not going to go vertical, but it does have a ton. And

78
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:36,880
then obviously there's height adjustment. Honestly, it's pretty sick

79
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,919
so far. Let's get it hooked up on the desk over there. Take a look at some content on it. But not before a word

89

90
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:31,919
Let's see what it looks like at 100% scaling. Honestly, too small. But

91
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:36,160
can't get over how much screen space this is. Hold on, I got to bring it

92
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:41,360
down. A 42 inch TV is too big. Just flat out. That's that's more like this and

93
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,759
that's too much for me. But 37 in is

94
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:50,880
like it's enough to have as a really big primary display and then you could still

95
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,880
fit like a little 27 in vertical over

96
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,319
here and it I think that would be great. The only problem is obviously it's not

97
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:01,599
really for gaming. So, let's take a couple quick looks here at Also, it can

98
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:07,280
do HDR. It's not very good. So, we're going to not worry about that right now.

99
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:09,520
I I really want something this big now.

100
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:14,560
It was worth it for me to go from a 34in ultrawide to a 32-in 4K monitor, but now

101
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:19,440
that I've got this in front of me, I kind of want 37. I just wish it was like

102
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,639
at least 120 Hz. Let's try gaming on it. It looks pretty good. I'll get to the

103
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:27,199
actual results in a little bit here, but let's let's try gaming on it real quick.

104
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:30,160
Yeah, it's 60 Hz. Hell yeah. You might be able to get away with overclocking in

105
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,639
a little bit, but I don't think you're going to get that [laughter] much. Maybe

106
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:39,840
seven 75. You know, there's a lot of screen tearing. [laughter]

107
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:43,199
It's not the best motion pixel response

108
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,440
times I've ever seen. But you know what?

109
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:48,560
If you're at the office and you want to play like a quick game of Counterstrike

110
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:53,120
or, you know, you want to play a game that's not a first-person shooter, this

111
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,599
thing's awesome. Okay, I will admit this is pretty bad. I probably wouldn't play

112
00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:01,680
Okay, never mind. Yeah, I wouldn't play Counter-Strike on this. Um,

113
00:07:58,810 --> 00:08:04,720
[laughter] 60 Hz sucks, but there's a lot of more chill games that only need

114
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:10,160
like 60 Hz. Like, you could play Civ on this thing. No, this Oh my god. Oh, this

115
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:13,360
would be amazing for Civ. Oh my god. Or like City Skylines or something. like

116
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:18,400
any kind of big resource like city management kind of game. Oh, this would

117
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:22,879
actually be incredible for that. Oh yeah, it's rough when I do like a big

118
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:26,960
flick or a pen. That's progress though, baby. 37 in 4K

119
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,720
world's first. That's what you get. There's going to be some drawbacks. We

120
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,959
know it can game. We know you can watch content on it. But how about that KVM?

121
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:38,880
That's what I Yeah, got to try. I've got my laptop right here. I'm going to plug

122
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:43,599
it into the port that's got a bunch of data symbols on it. Actually, can it do

123
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:48,480
power and display out of the same port? USB type-C has been connected. Will you

124
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,560
automatically switch to it? No. Okay, that's fine. There's a navigation knob

125
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:56,000
on the back here. Source. USB type-C. We're connected through the right port

126
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:01,200
cuz this one doesn't have Ethernet, but this one does. And now I'm getting 90

127
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,560
watts of power delivery over USBC as

128
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:09,519
well as Ethernet. Let's see how good the connection is. Let's do a speed test. See if we actually get gigabit. This is

129
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,839
not looking good for gigabit. Well, 300

130
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:17,120
up and down isn't bad. It's actually pretty good. But there's a bit of an

131
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:23,360
issue. If you want to do all of these things, 4K, 90 Ws power delivery, and

132
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,560
gigabit Ethernet, you're not going to get that. [music] Unfortunately, what

133
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:33,680
you're going to have to do if you really need gigabit is you're going to have to go into the menu, go into [music] USBC

134
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:37,920
preference, and instead of high resolution, you have to change it to

135
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:45,600
highspeed data. That's going to drop our resolution down to like 1920 x 1280,

136
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:47,600
whatever my laptop is natively. Um, but

137
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:54,320
we're going to retest this. Look at that. 913 down, 888 up. That's pretty

138
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:58,676
solid. It is a little annoying that you can't get all of it in one package at

139
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,880
the same time, but you know what? 300 [music] megs is solid and probably good

140
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,720
enough for most people. But what's this thing like when it comes to color

141
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:11,279
performance? well, with just a few minor settings. In SDR, we're measuring a

142
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:15,279
little bit over a delta E2000 average of one. So, it's color accurate for just

143
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:21,040
about whatever you're going to want to do. Now, when it comes to HDR,

144
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:25,360
not so much. We're getting a delta E ITP average of just under 23. It's a regular

145
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:29,279
edge lit panel. There's no foot array local dimming. I don't recommend this

146
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,560
for HDR, but for office work, I think it's absolutely incredible, especially

147
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,640
if you want like a one monitor solution. Like, this is great for like a hot desk.

148
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,600
This is a great size for like grabbing one [music] window and then putting it
