WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.830
ladies and gentlemen we're back with another James monitor unboxing and this

00:00:05.790 --> 00:00:12.059
time Matias gave me a knife look at this

00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:17.100
fancy thing you can tell just from the box oh this is a particularly nice just

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:21.840
look at this look at your minimalistic lamp and your cool designer tools and

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.320
your books that don't even have letters on the spines because their title this

00:00:23.730 --> 00:00:30.199
because that's how minimalistic they are yes my friends this is a monitor for

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:38.760
cool people who work in cool collaborative artistic environments this

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:42.600
is the LG ergo ergo a monitor that has

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:44.340
an ergonomic stand or articulating ARM

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

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:53.579
actually set it up now oh yeah peace

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:56.190
there are songs these with so much stuff

00:00:53.579 --> 00:01:01.649
this is the stand you can see already that this is different why is there

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.780
Carver on your - oh it's because that

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

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:13.979
those spot robots from Boston Dynamics it's gonna like take up my recycling for

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

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

00:01:22.830 --> 00:01:32.250
there's no base there's no flat freestanding base in this box all

00:01:27.869 --> 00:01:33.990
trouble this table will work and this is

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:38.820
I think most tables will work this is pretty wide okay so factoring in the

00:01:37.409 --> 00:01:43.920
height of that little squeezy platform thing this is like you know work with a

00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:48.979
table that's less than three inches thick I would say two and three quarters

00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:51.030
okay now for the panel itself this is a

00:01:48.979 --> 00:01:57.750
32 inch panel oh whoa the bezels I'm sure LG doesn't

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

00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.590
it's on there okay now normally when it

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:11.039
comes to putting LG panels onto their

00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:18.569
stands it's really easy

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:21.780
oh okay let's let's get er go Oh God

00:02:18.569 --> 00:02:24.930
look at that holy cow does it just go

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:27.510
all the way what the heck just about 270

00:02:24.930 --> 00:02:35.940
degrees of swivel you can even do more though because then you got the second

00:02:29.579 --> 00:02:38.190
ARM by just kidding I could be like

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

00:02:41.459 --> 00:02:49.379
believe it get Jacobs on the phone yeah oh that's

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

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

00:02:56.609 --> 00:03:02.819
to 25 degrees of tilt in each direction

00:02:59.609 --> 00:03:05.099
this doesn't really go high enough for

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

00:03:07.859 --> 00:03:15.000
like really slouching maybe or what if

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

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:31.500
could happen that's sweet and then you've got pivot 90 degrees both ways oh

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:33.239
one way I mean who cares I'm sure that's

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

00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:42.629
the ARM it swivels just on that last ARM itself Wow really versatile as for the

00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:49.109
height adjust you've got a hundred and thirty millimeters elevation I kind of

00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:51.750
wish they made a taller version because if you wanted to have stack monitors

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

00:03:53.849 --> 00:04:00.870
then tilt them this would be just awesome if you had like six panels like

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

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

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

00:04:13.470 --> 00:04:21.060
collaboration with Apple this is very much less Apple II now for starters

00:04:18.590 --> 00:04:24.510
there's all sorts of different ports instead of just Thunderbolt three and in

00:04:23.130 --> 00:04:28.980
fact there's no Thunderbolt 3 you've got a USB type-c port which is

00:04:26.670 --> 00:04:35.700
able to carry all the pixels it's 3840 by 2160 4k or UHD DisplayPort is

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

00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:45.090
very Apple II because a MacBook would be 80 watts of charging you can still you

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

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

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

00:04:57.030 --> 00:05:04.320
with HD CP headphone jack and a DC in

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

00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:11.760
I mean this is a really thin monitor and

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

00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:20.190
I kind of get it whatever what else they

00:05:17.670 --> 00:05:27.390
give us something heavy in here this is gonna be a 100 by 100

00:05:23.430 --> 00:05:29.160
VESA mount adapter so if for some reason

00:05:27.390 --> 00:05:34.340
you bought this monitor and didn't want this ARM which doesn't make any sense

00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:37.080
you could wall mount this or put it on

00:05:34.340 --> 00:05:42.540
you know a universal stand looks like they also gave you an extra twisty

00:05:39.930 --> 00:05:45.810
handle for the clamp yeah now I'm interested to see what cables they give

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

00:05:49.260 --> 00:05:54.600
already a pretty long power cable but they give you this extension I guess

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:58.290
because this is gonna be moving around you never really know how much cable

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

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:05.640
this little adapter reminds me of the it I really quick release Xbox controllers

00:06:03.780 --> 00:06:10.440
and the original one that was such a huge selling point for me and an HDMI

00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:15.480
cable I was really hoping they were gonna provide a USBC cable post this is

00:06:12.810 --> 00:06:19.320
kind of like positioned to be a one cable solution kind of monitor where you

00:06:17.550 --> 00:06:23.160
have this thing sitting on your computer desk maybe with a nice sleek wireless

00:06:21.570 --> 00:06:27.240
keyboard mouse combo and then you just pop your machine down your laptop one

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

00:06:29.430 --> 00:06:35.970
since with USB-C you never really know if what your cables gonna do it would

00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:38.580
really be nice if they included that you could depend on is being like

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

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

00:06:48.030 --> 00:06:57.360
so stupid they did they did yes I just

00:06:52.470 --> 00:07:01.650
didn't see it nice there it is

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:03.000
well great Oh hold on in case you have

00:07:01.650 --> 00:07:06.360
an optical disk drive in your life there's also the owner's manual all

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

00:07:09.900 --> 00:07:16.020
this message from our sponsor dis plate there are over 800,000 unique designs of

00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:18.870
display metal prints and they each have a magnetic mounting system that

00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:21.990
decreases the risk of damaging your walls and it's easy to switch them out

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

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

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

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:45.630
that's the whole thing alright let's actually look at this I

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

00:07:47.370 --> 00:07:52.710
own IPS HDR it support the HDR 10 but

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

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

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:06.240
monitor so most HDR consumption is

00:08:03.630 --> 00:08:11.400
happening on TVs and most HDR creation is happening on monitors that are a lot

00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:13.020
more expensive than this so whatever and

00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:17.790
it's not specifically a gaming monitor so I can see why HDR 10 and lower

00:08:15.930 --> 00:08:23.820
brightness like that could just be okay and then there's free sync so the the

00:08:20.550 --> 00:08:26.880
free sync range is like 48 to 75 Hertz

00:08:23.820 --> 00:08:29.550
so it's not a high refresh rate monitor

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

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

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:42.479
can access with hardware buttons because the other ultra fine products because

00:08:40.140 --> 00:08:46.560
they're kind of focused on an apple they only had software based ones which is

00:08:44.520 --> 00:08:49.350
fine when you're using an Apple machine but when you're on Windows

00:08:47.880 --> 00:08:52.620
they're pretty crappy and so but this one actually does have

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

00:08:55.020 --> 00:09:01.980
their other non ultrafine type monitors

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:09.240
RTS FPS game modes cinema reader HDR effect vivid custom

00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:15.120
srgb they got 100% coverage purported and over 90% coverage of the DCI p3 so

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

00:09:16.770 --> 00:09:21.750
wobble that is kind of brutal guys look

00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:25.980
at that especially the sideways it's like jank that's a lot of play

00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:31.170
especially for a premium product that is like centered around of having a sweet

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

00:09:33.030 --> 00:09:41.910
access not front back front back spine it's good at staying where you put it

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

00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.840
do stuff like that what can you make it

00:09:48.270 --> 00:09:54.420
bigger just pull it pull it out I guess I

00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:57.870
should I should show a game hmm well even this loading screen looks a

00:09:55.710 --> 00:10:03.210
little HDR it's pretty bright in there and that hot broken yolk of the South

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:07.830
American skies if I bought this monitor not looking specifically for an HDR

00:10:05.790 --> 00:10:12.600
monitor and then I fired up a game because I happened to game sometimes and

00:10:10.260 --> 00:10:16.470
it looked this good I'd be pretty satisfied I should mention there's

00:10:14.430 --> 00:10:20.340
actually another cheaper variant of this monitor which is four hundred fifty

00:10:18.330 --> 00:10:24.780
dollars twenty seven inches and only 1440p so a lot easier to run and it's

00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:29.100
got the same organ on extend that one comes out sooner it comes out July 2nd

00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:35.670
whereas this one comes out August 6th for $700 both those you can preorder

00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:37.170
from B&H so overall them I really liked

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

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

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

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

00:10:52.650 --> 00:10:58.290
two-person meeting like a collaborative Quality Assurance kind of meeting this

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

00:10:59.730 --> 00:11:04.879
as well you can just walk by this desk and work

00:11:03.110 --> 00:11:09.110
out a little bit show your friend I think this is gonna be really popular in

00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:12.470
certain categories certain niches so thanks for watching short-circuited a

00:11:10.190 --> 00:11:15.259
guys if you like this video then you should subscribe because we've got lots

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

00:11:17.089 --> 00:11:24.790
a really high refresh rate one two that I want to check out see ya
