1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,830
ladies and gentlemen we're back with another James monitor unboxing and this

2
00:00:05,790 --> 00:00:12,059
time Matias gave me a knife look at this

3
00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:17,100
fancy thing you can tell just from the box oh this is a particularly nice just

4
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:21,840
look at this look at your minimalistic lamp and your cool designer tools and

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,320
your books that don't even have letters on the spines because their title this

6
00:00:23,730 --> 00:00:30,199
because that's how minimalistic they are yes my friends this is a monitor for

7
00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:38,760
cool people who work in cool collaborative artistic environments this

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:42,600
is the LG ergo ergo a monitor that has

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,340
an ergonomic stand or articulating ARM

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:50,280
with two hinges it's actually pretty sweet I saw it at CES and I'm excited to

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:53,579
actually set it up now oh yeah peace

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,190
there are songs these with so much stuff

13
00:00:53,579 --> 00:01:01,649
this is the stand you can see already that this is different why is there

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,780
Carver on your - oh it's because that

15
00:01:01,649 --> 00:01:08,840
bends and they didn't want it to bend in shipping I feel like this is a piece of

16
00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:13,979
those spot robots from Boston Dynamics it's gonna like take up my recycling for

17
00:01:11,939 --> 00:01:20,400
me this is the stand but it's not a stand it has a C clamp on it so number

18
00:01:17,909 --> 00:01:24,570
one if you don't have a table that could support this thing you're screwed cuz

19
00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:32,250
there's no base there's no flat freestanding base in this box all

20
00:01:27,869 --> 00:01:33,990
trouble this table will work and this is

21
00:01:32,250 --> 00:01:38,820
I think most tables will work this is pretty wide okay so factoring in the

22
00:01:37,409 --> 00:01:43,920
height of that little squeezy platform thing this is like you know work with a

23
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:48,979
table that's less than three inches thick I would say two and three quarters

24
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:51,030
okay now for the panel itself this is a

25
00:01:48,979 --> 00:01:57,750
32 inch panel oh whoa the bezels I'm sure LG doesn't

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:04,320
recommend this I didn't get it completely on the table because there's like it was under rack in the way but

27
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:07,590
it's on there okay now normally when it

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,039
comes to putting LG panels onto their

29
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:18,569
stands it's really easy

30
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:21,780
oh okay let's let's get er go Oh God

31
00:02:18,569 --> 00:02:24,930
look at that holy cow does it just go

32
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:27,510
all the way what the heck just about 270

33
00:02:24,930 --> 00:02:35,940
degrees of swivel you can even do more though because then you got the second

34
00:02:29,579 --> 00:02:38,190
ARM by just kidding I could be like

35
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:42,239
Jensen have you seen this data take a look at this damn in Davidson I don't

36
00:02:41,459 --> 00:02:49,379
believe it get Jacobs on the phone yeah oh that's

37
00:02:47,849 --> 00:02:54,060
like way more tilt than you normally get to normally you get like a plus or minus

38
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:59,609
like you get minus five degrees in plus 25 but here you get it all the way down

39
00:02:56,609 --> 00:03:02,819
to 25 degrees of tilt in each direction

40
00:02:59,609 --> 00:03:05,099
this doesn't really go high enough for

41
00:03:02,819 --> 00:03:13,709
me to want to have it aimed that low but I could see a situation where if I was

42
00:03:07,859 --> 00:03:15,000
like really slouching maybe or what if

43
00:03:13,709 --> 00:03:20,459
you're working on something down here and you're trying to follow some instructions it would be rare but it

44
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:31,500
could happen that's sweet and then you've got pivot 90 degrees both ways oh

45
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,239
one way I mean who cares I'm sure that's

46
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:36,840
sufficient most of the time and then it swivels you don't even have to swivel on

47
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:42,629
the ARM it swivels just on that last ARM itself Wow really versatile as for the

48
00:03:40,980 --> 00:03:49,109
height adjust you've got a hundred and thirty millimeters elevation I kind of

49
00:03:47,250 --> 00:03:51,750
wish they made a taller version because if you wanted to have stack monitors

50
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,250
kind of like glass house at his office maybe just we'd to go really up high and

51
00:03:53,849 --> 00:04:00,870
then tilt them this would be just awesome if you had like six panels like

52
00:03:58,829 --> 00:04:05,549
that like in 16k gaming all right let's check out the back of this thing which

53
00:04:02,579 --> 00:04:09,930
is so easy to do io is this is kind of interesting because this monitor is from

54
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:15,840
LG is ultra fine line up which started off with their ultra fine 6k which was a

55
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:21,060
collaboration with Apple this is very much less Apple II now for starters

56
00:04:18,590 --> 00:04:24,510
there's all sorts of different ports instead of just Thunderbolt three and in

57
00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:28,980
fact there's no Thunderbolt 3 you've got a USB type-c port which is

58
00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:35,700
able to carry all the pixels it's 3840 by 2160 4k or UHD DisplayPort is

59
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:41,100
supported over USB type-c as well as charging up to 60 watts now it's not

60
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:45,090
very Apple II because a MacBook would be 80 watts of charging you can still you

61
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,450
can still charge your MacBook but it's not gonna not if you're like doing a lot

62
00:04:46,890 --> 00:04:52,620
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

63
00:04:51,090 --> 00:05:02,100
you've got two USB type aids that are USB 3 DisplayPort 1.2 two HDMI 1.4 s

64
00:04:57,030 --> 00:05:04,320
with HD CP headphone jack and a DC in

65
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:10,410
for the power cable which I will show you now that is a pretty big power brick

66
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:11,760
I mean this is a really thin monitor and

67
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:17,670
you would like this monitor be thin and lightweight if you're gonna be collaborating and moving around a lot so

68
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:20,190
I kind of get it whatever what else they

69
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:27,390
give us something heavy in here this is gonna be a 100 by 100

70
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:29,160
VESA mount adapter so if for some reason

71
00:05:27,390 --> 00:05:34,340
you bought this monitor and didn't want this ARM which doesn't make any sense

72
00:05:31,230 --> 00:05:37,080
you could wall mount this or put it on

73
00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:42,540
you know a universal stand looks like they also gave you an extra twisty

74
00:05:39,930 --> 00:05:45,810
handle for the clamp yeah now I'm interested to see what cables they give

75
00:05:43,950 --> 00:05:50,940
you I think this is an extension for the power cable wow that's so cool this is

76
00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:54,600
already a pretty long power cable but they give you this extension I guess

77
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,290
because this is gonna be moving around you never really know how much cable

78
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,800
you're gonna need and I guess if you need an extra three feet or so they have

79
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:05,640
this little adapter reminds me of the it I really quick release Xbox controllers

80
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:10,440
and the original one that was such a huge selling point for me and an HDMI

81
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:15,480
cable I was really hoping they were gonna provide a USBC cable post this is

82
00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:19,320
kind of like positioned to be a one cable solution kind of monitor where you

83
00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:23,160
have this thing sitting on your computer desk maybe with a nice sleek wireless

84
00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:27,240
keyboard mouse combo and then you just pop your machine down your laptop one

85
00:06:25,140 --> 00:06:31,980
cable it in with the u.s. PC and then voila you've got this big desktop and

86
00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:35,970
since with USB-C you never really know if what your cables gonna do it would

87
00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:38,580
really be nice if they included that you could depend on is being like

88
00:06:37,410 --> 00:06:44,220
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

89
00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:52,470
be black and match and I can rely on that but unfortunately no oh my god I'm

90
00:06:48,030 --> 00:06:57,360
so stupid they did they did yes I just

91
00:06:52,470 --> 00:07:01,650
didn't see it nice there it is

92
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,000
well great Oh hold on in case you have

93
00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:06,360
an optical disk drive in your life there's also the owner's manual all

94
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:11,670
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

95
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:16,020
this message from our sponsor dis plate there are over 800,000 unique designs of

96
00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:18,870
display metal prints and they each have a magnetic mounting system that

97
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:21,990
decreases the risk of damaging your walls and it's easy to switch them out

98
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:26,610
in between if you've got lots of different designs we even have some designs of our own on the platform right

99
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,090
now you can get an Anthony one or a James one or I guess align this one if

100
00:07:28,410 --> 00:07:36,050
you want so use offer code circuit at the link below and save 15% Ted a hello

101
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:45,630
that's the whole thing alright let's actually look at this I

102
00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:50,700
said it was 4k it's an IPS panel we know that because it's LG and they kind of

103
00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:52,710
own IPS HDR it support the HDR 10 but

104
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:57,960
the peak brightness is only 315 it's so it's kind of HD aren't so I mean you can

105
00:07:56,370 --> 00:08:03,630
interpret an HDR signal it's just not gonna be that sick but hey it's a $700

106
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:06,240
monitor so most HDR consumption is

107
00:08:03,630 --> 00:08:11,400
happening on TVs and most HDR creation is happening on monitors that are a lot

108
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,020
more expensive than this so whatever and

109
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:17,790
it's not specifically a gaming monitor so I can see why HDR 10 and lower

110
00:08:15,930 --> 00:08:23,820
brightness like that could just be okay and then there's free sync so the the

111
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:26,880
free sync range is like 48 to 75 Hertz

112
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:29,550
so it's not a high refresh rate monitor

113
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:33,240
but 75 Hertz is better than 60 so 3 sides of very thin bezels that's nice

114
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:37,380
one thing I was wondering about is is it gonna have an on screen display that I

115
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:42,479
can access with hardware buttons because the other ultra fine products because

116
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:46,560
they're kind of focused on an apple they only had software based ones which is

117
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,350
fine when you're using an Apple machine but when you're on Windows

118
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,620
they're pretty crappy and so but this one actually does have

119
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:59,340
the LG nipple at the bottom here and yeah it looks like it's the same OSD as

120
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:01,980
their other non ultrafine type monitors

121
00:08:59,340 --> 00:09:09,240
RTS FPS game modes cinema reader HDR effect vivid custom

122
00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:15,120
srgb they got 100% coverage purported and over 90% coverage of the DCI p3 so

123
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,920
that's cool one thing I'm noticing which is pretty weak actually is the amount of

124
00:09:16,770 --> 00:09:21,750
wobble that is kind of brutal guys look

125
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,980
at that especially the sideways it's like jank that's a lot of play

126
00:09:23,610 --> 00:09:31,170
especially for a premium product that is like centered around of having a sweet

127
00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:34,950
stand that has bad you can even do it right from here it's on that sideways

128
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:41,910
access not front back front back spine it's good at staying where you put it

129
00:09:39,140 --> 00:09:48,270
there is just a bit of play the best part about this monitor is that you can

130
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,840
do stuff like that what can you make it

131
00:09:48,270 --> 00:09:54,420
bigger just pull it pull it out I guess I

132
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,870
should I should show a game hmm well even this loading screen looks a

133
00:09:55,710 --> 00:10:03,210
little HDR it's pretty bright in there and that hot broken yolk of the South

134
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:07,830
American skies if I bought this monitor not looking specifically for an HDR

135
00:10:05,790 --> 00:10:12,600
monitor and then I fired up a game because I happened to game sometimes and

136
00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:16,470
it looked this good I'd be pretty satisfied I should mention there's

137
00:10:14,430 --> 00:10:20,340
actually another cheaper variant of this monitor which is four hundred fifty

138
00:10:18,330 --> 00:10:24,780
dollars twenty seven inches and only 1440p so a lot easier to run and it's

139
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:29,100
got the same organ on extend that one comes out sooner it comes out July 2nd

140
00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:35,670
whereas this one comes out August 6th for $700 both those you can preorder

141
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:37,170
from B&H so overall them I really liked

142
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:42,150
it until I hooked it up and saw how wobbly it is but still that's probably

143
00:10:40,260 --> 00:10:46,500
not that big of an issue and I really think this could be a solution in a lot

144
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:50,370
of people's setups if you've got maybe a common work area maybe you have a

145
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:54,180
floating desk in the middle of a room that logic will work out you want to just plop down and have like a

146
00:10:52,650 --> 00:10:58,290
two-person meeting like a collaborative Quality Assurance kind of meeting this

147
00:10:56,340 --> 00:11:01,160
would be great especially if you have if you want to stand up when you're working

148
00:10:59,730 --> 00:11:04,879
as well you can just walk by this desk and work

149
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:09,110
out a little bit show your friend I think this is gonna be really popular in

150
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:12,470
certain categories certain niches so thanks for watching short-circuited a

151
00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:15,259
guys if you like this video then you should subscribe because we've got lots

152
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:18,980
of other monitors coming in from 2020 for Mel G you got a super curved one and

153
00:11:17,089 --> 00:11:24,790
a really high refresh rate one two that I want to check out see ya
