1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,040
i can't see any detail anymore nothing it's all this turns into a giant

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:12,080
pastel painting that's right everyone nzxt they're making gaming monitors now

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:18,480
but i don't want this 27 inch model no no i want

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,480
the big boy 32 curved

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:28,160
it is a i should probably talk about specs a little bit it's the canvas

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:30,640
32q it's a 1440p 165 hertz i believe

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:35,920
gaming display yep with one millisecond response time uh this is the curved

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,960
screen 32 inches my only

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,280
concern is that 32 inches for a 1440p

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:46,160
resolution you're kind of on the very edge of pixel density that you want for

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,280
basically anything i mean it'll work still but i don't know i'm a little

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,800
concerned let's see if that concern rings true or not it's got HDR 10 but

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,399
it doesn't say whether that's vasa certified HDR 400 business certified HDR

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,600
600 1000 whatever i have no idea how bright

15
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:07,200
this thing gets um the sdr should get to almost 400 nits though which isn't

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:13,680
terrible i think it's like 350 cdm squared let's get this guy out of here

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,680
power cable HDMI cable don't know if

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,680
it's 2.1 don't know if this has 2.1 probably doesn't because it's just 1440p

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,960
usb usbc DisplayPort

20
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,720
power brick that's a lot of cables it is a lot of cables especially with the big

21
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:33,040
recent trend uh that sony and someone else did eve where they don't sorry doe

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:37,520
uh where they don't want to include the cables i like that these guys have given

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,920
us a ton of stuff here i can't remember what the prices but i'll let you know

24
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,360
and i'll tell you if that's a good deal or not here it is

25
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,920
how sweet it is oh we got the white panel for this one cool one thing that's

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:52,079
pretty neat is uh nzxt is actually giving you the option of getting this

27
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:56,479
thing without a stand because it is just your regular 100 by 100 vase amount so

28
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,960
you can buy the display itself if you've already got an ARM or if you already

29
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:02,799
have a wall mount that you want to put it on and then if you want to buy the

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,920
stand because you don't want to put it on a mount of some kind you can buy that

31
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,000
too and then get them at the same time i'm kind of for that trend because a lot

32
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:13,040
of the time stands just sit in their box and they're never used anyway but this

33
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:17,280
means that i can't take this thing out of the out of the box without the stand

34
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:23,040
so luckily we've got the white stand to match our

35
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:27,280
white panel well white housing for the panel and you can get these in both

36
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,760
white or black the only difference is i think the white one costs like 20 more

37
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:34,080
which is kind of weird but whatever take that as you will i'm not getting

38
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:38,319
involved just to clarify the stand itself costs

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,000
about the same it's just the panel and the housing for it that it'll cost you

40
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,120
an extra 20 bucks if you want the white version you get a

41
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:48,600
little you don't need what there's instructions for the stand oh it's for

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:57,920
mounting the monitor

43
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:05,760
i have one minor annoyance this is incredibly minor

44
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:07,760
the shade of white compared to here

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,680
is ever so slightly different it's different it is right just a little bit

46
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:15,440
it shows on camera pretty good too okay cool perfect the stand is like kind of

47
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:21,120
beigey yeah another one's more pure white

48
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,120
yeah we go look at this

49
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,239
that looks pretty good it's a 1 500 r curvature which isn't too aggressive but

50
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,840
it's also not too minor either yeah i think i could get used to this

51
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:35,920
it's a borderless design is what they're calling it and the stand can do

52
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,040
a bunch of stuff okay this is a lot better we actually installed this the 27

53
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,319
inch on the stand they come in small medium and large at different price

54
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,640
points you definitely want to get the right stand for the right size monitor

55
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,560
when we put the 27 inch on the medium stand it wouldn't sink down it would as

56
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,840
soon as i'd push it down it would just spring right back up so keep that in mind you might be able to

57
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:05,760
adjust the spring in this but that's not so common in stands it's more of a monitor ARM kind of thing one other

58
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:06,560
key thing that i'm already in love with

59
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:12,239
is one there's a hint of nzxt purple on the

60
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,799
inside of the navigation nipple but

61
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,120
something that these guys have done that i haven't noticed on anyone else's

62
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,600
displays is it's rubber so it's actually really easy to use and your hand doesn't

63
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:28,960
slip like at all when using this thing so kudos nzxt i actually

64
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,720
really like that already otherwise another big nice thing for a lot of

65
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:37,040
people is the branding is super minimal you can barely see the nzxt logo on the

66
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,160
back and then you can barely see it on the front here as well

67
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:43,199
because they've just kind of gone with a like stamped kind of look instead of a

68
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,759
big painted logo or whatever we can swivel

69
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,280
which is great and we can tilt

70
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,800
which is great and there's height adjustment which is great

71
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:59,360
there's a couple minor things as well the swivel action is all on the base of

72
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:04,240
the stand which is pretty sweet and apparently the smaller version the mount

73
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,280
for the 27 inch guy that can actually

74
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,479
pivot so buy the one you want for the

75
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:12,400
purpose that you want to use it for if you want portrait don't get the big guy

76
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:15,680
another great thing is that it's all labeled correctly so i don't have to go

77
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:20,479
and look at the box to tell you guys what's on here it's got displayport HDMI

78
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,600
two HDMI ports i think they're 2.0 instead of 2.1 but it's not 4k so that's

79
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:31,440
fine it's got a type c port a headphone jack usb upstream with the usb and then

80
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:36,639
usb 3.0 two ports it looks like and the dc power adapter a great part about that

81
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,440
USB-C port as well is that it's also

82
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:43,680
uh displayport so if you want to come in and hook up a

83
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,360
laptop or something to the screen and all it's got is usbc displayport stuff

84
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,400
you can do that with this guy it's looking pretty good but not as good as our sponsor grammarly

grammarly premium to help you save time and work more efficiently

96
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:37,199
one of the biggest problems with modern monitors is you tend to have to pay a

97
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:44,560
hefty price for good HDR 60 hertz 165 all right

98
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:46,400
hey keep changing says HDR HDR is going

99
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,440
it does 10 bit that's pretty good you're going to see

100
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:55,520
this a lot when you're trying to hook up HDR it's not going to do proper 10 bit

101
00:06:52,720 --> 00:07:00,000
at higher refresh rates like 165 even the alienware qt OLED i have if you'd

102
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:05,520
want to do the 175 hertz you can't get 10 bit color so you got to go down to

103
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:07,440
144. either way 165 8-bit color it's

104
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,639
still going to look pretty decent um let's see how the HDR looks though

105
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:16,400
this is not HDR so i told this one i like the deer i

106
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:19,759
like the deer it's the flattest image i've seen all the time

107
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,800
look at the background i know they look terrible turn off eight bit you have to turn off

108
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,720
eight bits ah i can see the band the color me too i

109
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:33,599
know we're seeing some really bad banding when we're trying to run HDR at

110
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,360
a higher refresh rate so i'm gonna lower it down to like 60 to see if the HDR

111
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,080
experience is any better because there's nothing wrong with switching to like 60

112
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:44,319
frames per second for when you're watching content and then bumping it up

113
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:49,360
for when you want to gain it's not as bad it's not as bad but it's still there

114
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:51,520
oh no why is it even doing that

115
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,919
we've watched this content on more expensive screens and it doesn't really

116
00:07:53,199 --> 00:08:00,479
do this uh we did get it to go to 10 bit color when we go down to 120 hertz so

117
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:06,000
you could just lower it to 120 instead of 60

118
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:08,879
but it's not the nicest HDR experience

119
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:14,080
no let me rephrase that it's a bad HDR experience if you're

120
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:19,120
looking for an HDR display i'm not saying this is a bad monitor in

121
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:22,479
general but it's not the best for HDR

122
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,479
the 32-inch curved is a va panel you

123
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:29,120
might get a better experience on the 27-inch ips panel but

124
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,800
yeah i don't know i'm just going to turn HDR off we'll play an sdr it should

125
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,479
still get to about 300 nits peak brightness and sdr which is not bad it's

126
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:42,399
playable for those of you unfamiliar with HDR it's basically the idea of

127
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,560
taking individual spots in the scene and

128
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,680
brightening those up so that you have a high dynamic range

129
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:52,000
you've got really bright brights and you've got really dark darks

130
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:56,080
the problem here is that it's like it's trying to tone map it weirdly where it's

131
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,600
like oh we need these highlights here but then you lose all this weird detail

132
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,920
in the trees as it tries to like brighten up that part of the image a lot

133
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:09,680
of panels are edge lit and this this one's probably edgelit as well and if

134
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,800
it's just a single zone then it

135
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:15,279
basically just makes the whole panel brighter that doesn't usually look very

136
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,000
good but then when you get like six dimming zones

137
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:21,839
usually they're columns when you only have about six of them you get these

138
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:27,760
weird like bright columns and it doesn't look good either so unless you have at

139
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,959
least like 16 zones to go like here like

140
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:35,200
that and even that's not enough you need like 100 you need like 96 zones like on the

141
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:39,120
end zone for it to look remotely good so unfortunately don't buy this for HDR i'm

142
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,839
sorry i'm not saying it's a bad monitor but it's really not good for HDR so

143
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:47,279
we're just going to turn off we're using a quick ppi calculator here

144
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:49,760
and as you can see with a 31.5 inch screen

145
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:54,080
at 1440p this is kind of the max that you want to

146
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,959
go in terms of screen size to resolution because we're down to

147
00:09:55,519 --> 00:10:01,760
just barely 93 pixels per inch

148
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:05,839
it's not terrible like if i it takes me a while before i get a screen door

149
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:10,720
effect but you can see it if this was 4k i think that ends up being closer to 135

150
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,160
ppi or something like that uh you really want like if we did a 27

151
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:20,320
inch screen we're over 100 and that's what you really want is over 100 yeah 108 so 27

152
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,360
inches is kind of the biggest i'll go for 1440p one of the cool things about

153
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,920
buying either an nzxt or a Corsair product is uh you get their whole like

154
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:34,240
product suite it all syncs up really well instead of using the navigation

155
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,000
nipple to bring up your osd i think we can change a few things in cam which is

156
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:42,560
pretty cool you will have to have your usb b

157
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:47,680
hooked into your pc but it looks like it's displaying everything we've got a

158
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:50,079
display resolution at 165 hertz our usb

159
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:55,760
input is detected we've got our normal response time set to normal uh

160
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,160
fast is okay fastest usually results in

161
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,040
a bunch of badness that you don't want oh cool you can change the gamma from

162
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:05,920
here that's actually pretty sweet what's 2.4 look like not much different

163
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:10,560
uh oh okay that's right all right cool cool it does work

164
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,880
brightness crank it

165
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:17,519
crank the contrast okay i'll leave the contrast at 50. that's fine uh but this

166
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,839
brightness at 100 like this is this is pretty good it's probably about 300 nits so

167
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:25,440
saturation sharpness yeah this is actually great

168
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,959
that you can just change all of this stuff from here because it's normally

169
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:32,399
frustrating to try to go through on-screen displays

170
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,240
especially when you don't have something as good as a navigation nipple i don't

171
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:43,040
know how color accurate this thing is out of the box it does 89 of dc ip3 and

172
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,959
it does 98 or 99 of srgb

173
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,800
but you could totally calibrate it you can also add a ton of different profiles

174
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,959
to this thing so let's say you want to watch movies and you want to change the

175
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,800
color profile for that so that things look a bit more filmmakery you can do

176
00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:00,720
that and then you can make a new profile for gaming that automatically goes to

177
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,800
like a higher refresh rate and maybe it ups the response time if you want to go

178
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:08,880
fast instead of normal it also has some auto dimming stuff so you can set it

179
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:12,639
where oh let's say it's 10 pm and you want your monitor to be a bit dimmer

180
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,399
because the lights are out you can do that you can set up another profile for

181
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:21,360
gaming and then it'll automatically switch to the gaming profile when you

182
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:24,560
launch a game pretty cool stuff another thing to note we got a little lazy with

183
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,560
the usb cable but our power

184
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,480
all right our power and our DisplayPort are cable managed through the stand and

185
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,920
if you can lift these up you get them kind of like really out of the way i

186
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:41,360
actually really like this method the best because it's very easy to put

187
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,399
cables through there some are more hidden but then you've got to like

188
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,839
really force the cable through and anything bigger like a displayport cable

189
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:52,160
is always a bit of a pain to try to actually fit it through and get it cable

190
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:56,079
managed and i like the stand i think it fits in with pretty much anything um i'm

191
00:12:54,399 --> 00:13:01,200
a really big fan of these just like square bases and set it down because you

192
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:03,839
can then use this as part of your desk say you have little figurines or

193
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,240
something on your desk and you want to put them somewhere well you don't have to worry about legs uh getting in the

194
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:13,120
way of that you can just be like oh it's a flat surface

195
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:17,519
put them all along there so i do like it

196
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,519
as for the panel itself

197
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:24,560
i wish it was ultra wide i think that's that's my biggest complaint is if you're

198
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,040
gonna be this big anyway i'd much rather

199
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:31,600
they just shrunk it a bit made it wider and then went with uh 21x9 1440p

200
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:36,560
ultrawide instead if i'm playing counter-strike and i gotta do a fast flick

201
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:43,120
it's not the best you see how blurry everything is is that not just regular blur no

202
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:46,720
a good display won't do this it'll stay crystal clear the whole time the reality

203
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:52,079
is when you're just moving around normally it's totally okay

204
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:57,440
someone died there i can't emote oh wait what i get kisses

205
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:01,760
there's eight different price points because of the different combinations of

206
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:06,320
white or black or with or without stand or size for the setup that you see in

207
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:11,519
front of you for the 32 inch white screen and the white stand it's 449

208
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,600
i would still definitely

209
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:20,160
go for the 27 inch ips though personally if you

210
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:25,079
want to save a bit of money it's not too bad you can get the 27 inch version the

211
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:31,440
white one with the stand for 379.99 so 380 dollars and it's 450 for

212
00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:36,399
the 32 inch guy if you want an even cheaper price what

213
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:41,839
you can do is you can buy just the panel for 320 dollars

214
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:46,160
for the 27 inch black version that's not bad at 320 i'd be okay with buying this

215
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,079
monitor any more than that

216
00:14:48,079 --> 00:14:53,040
i'm not so sure i can't tell you guys if i want to recommend this one or not

217
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,760
because i'm really worried that the va panel is going to be just too blurry

218
00:14:54,959 --> 00:15:02,320
however we got to check the ips it might fix this problem let's do it it's better

219
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,680
it's not perfect it's not great

220
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,320
people really said this is like good motion clarity it definitely i can see

221
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:15,600
the wall stays where it is though here whereas before it turned into an entirely just green mess and same thing

222
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:19,120
with this house up here i can see the pink move instead of it kind of starting

223
00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:24,959
to blur with the blue of that house it's not perfect on the 27-inch ips

224
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:28,959
panel but it is markedly better so i would personally suggest that

225
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,240
especially if you're on a budget i would get the 27 inch version i think you're

226
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,560
gonna just get a much better picture with this and that's what i would personally go for

227
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:41,120
thanks for watching everyone this is nzxt's canvas display not bad if you

228
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:46,000
want to take a look at another display we did check out the ultra gear that was a fun video

229
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:50,199
thanks for watching get out of here good idea david okay

230
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,800
