ladies and gentlemen we're back with another James monitor unboxing and this
time Matias gave me a knife look at this
fancy thing you can tell just from the box oh this is a particularly nice just
look at this look at your minimalistic lamp and your cool designer tools and
your books that don't even have letters on the spines because their title this
because that's how minimalistic they are yes my friends this is a monitor for
cool people who work in cool collaborative artistic environments this
is the LG ergo ergo a monitor that has
an ergonomic stand or articulating ARM
with two hinges it's actually pretty sweet I saw it at CES and I'm excited to
actually set it up now oh yeah peace
there are songs these with so much stuff
this is the stand you can see already that this is different why is there
Carver on your - oh it's because that
bends and they didn't want it to bend in shipping I feel like this is a piece of
those spot robots from Boston Dynamics it's gonna like take up my recycling for
me this is the stand but it's not a stand it has a C clamp on it so number
one if you don't have a table that could support this thing you're screwed cuz
there's no base there's no flat freestanding base in this box all
trouble this table will work and this is
I think most tables will work this is pretty wide okay so factoring in the
height of that little squeezy platform thing this is like you know work with a
table that's less than three inches thick I would say two and three quarters
okay now for the panel itself this is a
32 inch panel oh whoa the bezels I'm sure LG doesn't
recommend this I didn't get it completely on the table because there's like it was under rack in the way but
it's on there okay now normally when it
comes to putting LG panels onto their
stands it's really easy
oh okay let's let's get er go Oh God
look at that holy cow does it just go
all the way what the heck just about 270
degrees of swivel you can even do more though because then you got the second
ARM by just kidding I could be like
Jensen have you seen this data take a look at this damn in Davidson I don't
believe it get Jacobs on the phone yeah oh that's
like way more tilt than you normally get to normally you get like a plus or minus
like you get minus five degrees in plus 25 but here you get it all the way down
to 25 degrees of tilt in each direction
this doesn't really go high enough for
me to want to have it aimed that low but I could see a situation where if I was
like really slouching maybe or what if
you're working on something down here and you're trying to follow some instructions it would be rare but it
could happen that's sweet and then you've got pivot 90 degrees both ways oh
one way I mean who cares I'm sure that's
sufficient most of the time and then it swivels you don't even have to swivel on
the ARM it swivels just on that last ARM itself Wow really versatile as for the
height adjust you've got a hundred and thirty millimeters elevation I kind of
wish they made a taller version because if you wanted to have stack monitors
kind of like glass house at his office maybe just we'd to go really up high and
then tilt them this would be just awesome if you had like six panels like
that like in 16k gaming all right let's check out the back of this thing which
is so easy to do io is this is kind of interesting because this monitor is from
LG is ultra fine line up which started off with their ultra fine 6k which was a
collaboration with Apple this is very much less Apple II now for starters
there's all sorts of different ports instead of just Thunderbolt three and in
fact there's no Thunderbolt 3 you've got a USB type-c port which is
able to carry all the pixels it's 3840 by 2160 4k or UHD DisplayPort is
supported over USB type-c as well as charging up to 60 watts now it's not
very Apple II because a MacBook would be 80 watts of charging you can still you
can still charge your MacBook but it's not gonna not if you're like doing a lot
of stuff on it at the same time but for other laptops that don't need eighty sixty could be just fine for you then
you've got two USB type aids that are USB 3 DisplayPort 1.2 two HDMI 1.4 s
with HD CP headphone jack and a DC in
for the power cable which I will show you now that is a pretty big power brick
I mean this is a really thin monitor and
you would like this monitor be thin and lightweight if you're gonna be collaborating and moving around a lot so
I kind of get it whatever what else they
give us something heavy in here this is gonna be a 100 by 100
VESA mount adapter so if for some reason
you bought this monitor and didn't want this ARM which doesn't make any sense
you could wall mount this or put it on
you know a universal stand looks like they also gave you an extra twisty
handle for the clamp yeah now I'm interested to see what cables they give
you I think this is an extension for the power cable wow that's so cool this is
already a pretty long power cable but they give you this extension I guess
because this is gonna be moving around you never really know how much cable
you're gonna need and I guess if you need an extra three feet or so they have
this little adapter reminds me of the it I really quick release Xbox controllers
and the original one that was such a huge selling point for me and an HDMI
cable I was really hoping they were gonna provide a USBC cable post this is
kind of like positioned to be a one cable solution kind of monitor where you
have this thing sitting on your computer desk maybe with a nice sleek wireless
keyboard mouse combo and then you just pop your machine down your laptop one
cable it in with the u.s. PC and then voila you've got this big desktop and
since with USB-C you never really know if what your cables gonna do it would
really be nice if they included that you could depend on is being like
this is the one that's gonna give me all the full 60 watts I need to charge and the DisplayPort over it and it's gonna
be black and match and I can rely on that but unfortunately no oh my god I'm
so stupid they did they did yes I just
didn't see it nice there it is
well great Oh hold on in case you have
an optical disk drive in your life there's also the owner's manual all
right well now that we've got cables I guess it's a good time to plug it in and see how it does as a monitor right after
this message from our sponsor dis plate there are over 800,000 unique designs of
display metal prints and they each have a magnetic mounting system that
decreases the risk of damaging your walls and it's easy to switch them out
in between if you've got lots of different designs we even have some designs of our own on the platform right
now you can get an Anthony one or a James one or I guess align this one if
you want so use offer code circuit at the link below and save 15% Ted a hello
that's the whole thing alright let's actually look at this I
said it was 4k it's an IPS panel we know that because it's LG and they kind of
own IPS HDR it support the HDR 10 but
the peak brightness is only 315 it's so it's kind of HD aren't so I mean you can
interpret an HDR signal it's just not gonna be that sick but hey it's a $700
monitor so most HDR consumption is
happening on TVs and most HDR creation is happening on monitors that are a lot
more expensive than this so whatever and
it's not specifically a gaming monitor so I can see why HDR 10 and lower
brightness like that could just be okay and then there's free sync so the the
free sync range is like 48 to 75 Hertz
so it's not a high refresh rate monitor
but 75 Hertz is better than 60 so 3 sides of very thin bezels that's nice
one thing I was wondering about is is it gonna have an on screen display that I
can access with hardware buttons because the other ultra fine products because
they're kind of focused on an apple they only had software based ones which is
fine when you're using an Apple machine but when you're on Windows
they're pretty crappy and so but this one actually does have
the LG nipple at the bottom here and yeah it looks like it's the same OSD as
their other non ultrafine type monitors
RTS FPS game modes cinema reader HDR effect vivid custom
srgb they got 100% coverage purported and over 90% coverage of the DCI p3 so
that's cool one thing I'm noticing which is pretty weak actually is the amount of
wobble that is kind of brutal guys look
at that especially the sideways it's like jank that's a lot of play
especially for a premium product that is like centered around of having a sweet
stand that has bad you can even do it right from here it's on that sideways
access not front back front back spine it's good at staying where you put it
there is just a bit of play the best part about this monitor is that you can
do stuff like that what can you make it
bigger just pull it pull it out I guess I
should I should show a game hmm well even this loading screen looks a
little HDR it's pretty bright in there and that hot broken yolk of the South
American skies if I bought this monitor not looking specifically for an HDR
monitor and then I fired up a game because I happened to game sometimes and
it looked this good I'd be pretty satisfied I should mention there's
actually another cheaper variant of this monitor which is four hundred fifty
dollars twenty seven inches and only 1440p so a lot easier to run and it's
got the same organ on extend that one comes out sooner it comes out July 2nd
whereas this one comes out August 6th for $700 both those you can preorder
from B&H so overall them I really liked
it until I hooked it up and saw how wobbly it is but still that's probably
not that big of an issue and I really think this could be a solution in a lot
of people's setups if you've got maybe a common work area maybe you have a
floating desk in the middle of a room that logic will work out you want to just plop down and have like a
two-person meeting like a collaborative Quality Assurance kind of meeting this
would be great especially if you have if you want to stand up when you're working
as well you can just walk by this desk and work
out a little bit show your friend I think this is gonna be really popular in
certain categories certain niches so thanks for watching short-circuited a
guys if you like this video then you should subscribe because we've got lots
of other monitors coming in from 2020 for Mel G you got a super curved one and
a really high refresh rate one two that I want to check out see ya
