When it comes to desk displays, Lionus is partial to 42 in. I'm partial to 32,
but Samsung made the 37 in 4K viewfinity
for anyone who wants something in between. That's right. You wouldn't
expect it to be, but this is a world's
first. I'm kind of surprised no one's made a 4K 37in monitor yet, but you
know, Samsung, they did it first. Let's open this up. Now, to be clear, this is
not a gaming monitor. at 60 Hz, so
maybe don't buy it if you're a gamer, but I love weirdly sized displays. That
LG Duelup, incredible monitor. You know, it's not for gaming, but it's still
sick. This is upside down. Give me a second. In the box, we've got a bunch of
cables, HDMI. I'm not saying 2.1 because
I don't think it is. Also, there is DisplayPort on here. It's only 1.2, but
it's not high refresh rate. Here's our
DisplayPort 1.2 cable. Well, okay, the cable's probably 1.4, but [laughter]
yeah, the port ain't. [music] Then we've got our power because yes, this is not
going into a brick. We're plugging in directly into our monitor. And lastly,
we've got a USB-C to C. Does it say if
there's power delivery or anything? I don't see it. And they've got this in here because, of course, this being more
of an office monitor, it is a KVM. And
we'll get to one of my favorite parts in a little bit cuz it's also got another
thing that's pretty uncommon when it comes to [music] displays. Simple user
guide. Cool. And it works for a lot of monitors cuz yep, this is just a pretty
standard boy here. And otherwise, we've just got like how to set up. This does
have a supposedly super easy to setup stand. I'm going to get to that shortly
here. Um I think it's toolless. Uh and
the website I watched I watched Samsung's promotional video for this.
They say you can do it in 5 seconds. I don't know about that. We'll try try our
best. Yeah. Here we go. That's the
stand. It looks pretty standard to me. [music] Standard. You like that? Then we've got
the base of our stand right here. Instead of the like traditional column
and a screw design, there is a column in the bottom of this one and that's key.
So, you slot it in and then you twist it and then it's done. probably sturdy
enough, but 37 inches
makes me a little nervous. [laughter]
37 in is like basically a TV. Um, I
can't wait to get this on the desk. But
first, let's try the 5-second stand.
The fastest monitor assembler in the Northwest. I never seen anybody do it this quick.
We going to go viral with this one.
Done. And then if you want to take it off,
Boom. >> Easier. >> Easier. Unless someone out there can
prove to me that this is like ultra flimsy. Um, and it's a bad design. I
guess maybe, you know, the button sticks out. So maybe you press it like you
stupidly put this down on your desk and there's a thing there and it magically
just so happens to be in line to press the button then it's disturbed and then
you move it and then it falls out. Maybe that can happen. Will it? Pro almost
definitely not. But until someone proves that that's a
thing, I love this. This is like
kind of amazing. And I really hope that everyone transitions [laughter] to this
system cuz like man, it's it's just that easy. Holy [ __ ] That's 5 seconds. I
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.
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
which by the way is a nice squared base. Very thin, easy to put stuff on, doesn't
really get in the way. And it's a relatively small footprint for a display
this big. [laughter] Oh man. Can I Can I do it onehanded?
[snorts] >> Yeah. >> Oh, easy. >> Easy.
You don't need help for this one. Wow. [laughter]
Would you look at this? The back ain't nothing too fancy. It's not as special.
Just some, you know, boring flat panel. Yeah. But then the front, we got this
majestic 37 in 4K monster.
Incredible. Uh, let's get this wiped up and then we'll take a quick look at the
IO. We've got our HDMI port, display
port, USBB, USBC, Kensington lock. Actually kind of
matters since this is meant to be in offices. [music] and our power
connector. And on our non-traditional side here, we've got our three USBA
ports as well as a headphone jack. And what I'm really excited about, Ethernet,
and it's gigabit. It's so like well balanced, too. Holding it actually feels
really easy with one hand. It's a really minor thing, but when you move a lot of
monitors around, like you get to tell when they feel really lopsided and
stuff. When it comes to adjustability, look at this.
It's actually quite a bit uh of rotation here. And then it should be able to tilt
as well.
And I don't no pivot. Sorry guys, no
pivot. But I mean it's a 37 [laughter] in panel.
Do you imagine it vertical? That'd actually be crazy, right? [laughter] Oh
man. Like here I can show you guys.
[laughter and gasps] That's good. Okay, so it's not going to go vertical, but it does have a ton. And
then obviously there's height adjustment. Honestly, it's pretty sick
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

Let's see what it looks like at 100% scaling. Honestly, too small. But
can't get over how much screen space this is. Hold on, I got to bring it
down. A 42 inch TV is too big. Just flat out. That's that's more like this and
that's too much for me. But 37 in is
like it's enough to have as a really big primary display and then you could still
fit like a little 27 in vertical over
here and it I think that would be great. The only problem is obviously it's not
really for gaming. So, let's take a couple quick looks here at Also, it can
do HDR. It's not very good. So, we're going to not worry about that right now.
I I really want something this big now.
It was worth it for me to go from a 34in ultrawide to a 32-in 4K monitor, but now
that I've got this in front of me, I kind of want 37. I just wish it was like
at least 120 Hz. Let's try gaming on it. It looks pretty good. I'll get to the
actual results in a little bit here, but let's let's try gaming on it real quick.
Yeah, it's 60 Hz. Hell yeah. You might be able to get away with overclocking in
a little bit, but I don't think you're going to get that [laughter] much. Maybe
seven 75. You know, there's a lot of screen tearing. [laughter]
It's not the best motion pixel response
times I've ever seen. But you know what?
If you're at the office and you want to play like a quick game of Counterstrike
or, you know, you want to play a game that's not a first-person shooter, this
thing's awesome. Okay, I will admit this is pretty bad. I probably wouldn't play
Okay, never mind. Yeah, I wouldn't play Counter-Strike on this. Um,
[laughter] 60 Hz sucks, but there's a lot of more chill games that only need
like 60 Hz. Like, you could play Civ on this thing. No, this Oh my god. Oh, this
would be amazing for Civ. Oh my god. Or like City Skylines or something. like
any kind of big resource like city management kind of game. Oh, this would
actually be incredible for that. Oh yeah, it's rough when I do like a big
flick or a pen. That's progress though, baby. 37 in 4K
world's first. That's what you get. There's going to be some drawbacks. We
know it can game. We know you can watch content on it. But how about that KVM?
That's what I Yeah, got to try. I've got my laptop right here. I'm going to plug
it into the port that's got a bunch of data symbols on it. Actually, can it do
power and display out of the same port? USB type-C has been connected. Will you
automatically switch to it? No. Okay, that's fine. There's a navigation knob
on the back here. Source. USB type-C. We're connected through the right port
cuz this one doesn't have Ethernet, but this one does. And now I'm getting 90
watts of power delivery over USBC as
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
not looking good for gigabit. Well, 300
up and down isn't bad. It's actually pretty good. But there's a bit of an
issue. If you want to do all of these things, 4K, 90 Ws power delivery, and
gigabit Ethernet, you're not going to get that. [music] Unfortunately, what
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
preference, and instead of high resolution, you have to change it to
highspeed data. That's going to drop our resolution down to like 1920 x 1280,
whatever my laptop is natively. Um, but
we're going to retest this. Look at that. 913 down, 888 up. That's pretty
solid. It is a little annoying that you can't get all of it in one package at
the same time, but you know what? 300 [music] megs is solid and probably good
enough for most people. But what's this thing like when it comes to color
performance? well, with just a few minor settings. In SDR, we're measuring a
little bit over a delta E2000 average of one. So, it's color accurate for just
about whatever you're going to want to do. Now, when it comes to HDR,
not so much. We're getting a delta E ITP average of just under 23. It's a regular
edge lit panel. There's no foot array local dimming. I don't recommend this
for HDR, but for office work, I think it's absolutely incredible, especially
if you want like a one monitor solution. Like, this is great for like a hot desk.
This is a great size for like grabbing one [music] window and then putting it
to the side and, you know, having whatever else you need up. At around
$580, it's a little expensive, but for
office equipment, it's not that bad, especially considering the size and the
fact that it's also 4K. It's a KVM, it's got all these extra features. If this is
the monitor for you, you'll probably know and you should definitely consider
picking it up. Thanks for watching, guys. This is the Samsung Viewfinity S8,
the world's first 37in 4K monitor. I'm
Blof. I'm the world's first uh me.
>> No, >> you're the first one.
