WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.040
i can't see any detail anymore nothing it's all this turns into a giant

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:12.080
pastel painting that's right everyone nzxt they're making gaming monitors now

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:18.480
but i don't want this 27 inch model no no i want

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.480
the big boy 32 curved

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:28.160
it is a i should probably talk about specs a little bit it's the canvas

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:30.640
32q it's a 1440p 165 hertz i believe

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:35.920
gaming display yep with one millisecond response time uh this is the curved

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:38.960
screen 32 inches my only

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.280
concern is that 32 inches for a 1440p

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:46.160
resolution you're kind of on the very edge of pixel density that you want for

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

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

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.399
it doesn't say whether that's vasa certified HDR 400 business certified HDR

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.600
600 1000 whatever i have no idea how bright

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:07.200
this thing gets um the sdr should get to almost 400 nits though which isn't

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

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.680
power cable HDMI cable don't know if

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

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.960
usb usbc DisplayPort

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

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:33.040
recent trend uh that sony and someone else did eve where they don't sorry doe

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

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

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:43.360
and i'll tell you if that's a good deal or not here it is

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

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:52.079
pretty neat is uh nzxt is actually giving you the option of getting this

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:56.479
thing without a stand because it is just your regular 100 by 100 vase amount so

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:23.040
so luckily we've got the white stand to match our

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:27.280
white panel well white housing for the panel and you can get these in both

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:31.760
white or black the only difference is i think the white one costs like 20 more

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.080
which is kind of weird but whatever take that as you will i'm not getting

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:38.319
involved just to clarify the stand itself costs

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

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.120
an extra 20 bucks if you want the white version you get a

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:48.600
little you don't need what there's instructions for the stand oh it's for

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:57.920
mounting the monitor

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:05.760
i have one minor annoyance this is incredibly minor

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:07.760
the shade of white compared to here

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:11.680
is ever so slightly different it's different it is right just a little bit

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.440
it shows on camera pretty good too okay cool perfect the stand is like kind of

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:21.120
beigey yeah another one's more pure white

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.120
yeah we go look at this

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

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:31.840
it's also not too minor either yeah i think i could get used to this

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:35.920
it's a borderless design is what they're calling it and the stand can do

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:41.040
a bunch of stuff okay this is a lot better we actually installed this the 27

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:44.319
inch on the stand they come in small medium and large at different price

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.640
points you definitely want to get the right stand for the right size monitor

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

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

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

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.560
key thing that i'm already in love with

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:12.239
is one there's a hint of nzxt purple on the

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:14.799
inside of the navigation nipple but

00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:19.120
something that these guys have done that i haven't noticed on anyone else's

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

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:28.960
slip like at all when using this thing so kudos nzxt i actually

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.720
really like that already otherwise another big nice thing for a lot of

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:37.040
people is the branding is super minimal you can barely see the nzxt logo on the

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.160
back and then you can barely see it on the front here as well

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

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:47.759
big painted logo or whatever we can swivel

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:51.280
which is great and we can tilt

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.800
which is great and there's height adjustment which is great

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

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:04.240
the stand which is pretty sweet and apparently the smaller version the mount

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:07.280
for the 27 inch guy that can actually

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.479
pivot so buy the one you want for the

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:39.440
USB-C port as well is that it's also

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:43.680
uh displayport so if you want to come in and hook up a

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:47.360
laptop or something to the screen and all it's got is usbc displayport stuff

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

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:37.199
one of the biggest problems with modern monitors is you tend to have to pay a

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:44.560
hefty price for good HDR 60 hertz 165 all right

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:46.400
hey keep changing says HDR HDR is going

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:49.440
it does 10 bit that's pretty good you're going to see

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

00:06:52.720 --> 00:07:00.000
at higher refresh rates like 165 even the alienware qt OLED i have if you'd

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

00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:07.440
144. either way 165 8-bit color it's

00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:12.639
still going to look pretty decent um let's see how the HDR looks though

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:16.400
this is not HDR so i told this one i like the deer i

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:19.759
like the deer it's the flattest image i've seen all the time

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

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:28.720
eight bits ah i can see the band the color me too i

00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:33.599
know we're seeing some really bad banding when we're trying to run HDR at

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

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:40.080
experience is any better because there's nothing wrong with switching to like 60

00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:44.319
frames per second for when you're watching content and then bumping it up

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

00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.520
oh no why is it even doing that

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.919
we've watched this content on more expensive screens and it doesn't really

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

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:06.000
you could just lower it to 120 instead of 60

00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:08.879
but it's not the nicest HDR experience

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:14.080
no let me rephrase that it's a bad HDR experience if you're

00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:19.120
looking for an HDR display i'm not saying this is a bad monitor in

00:08:15.919 --> 00:08:22.479
general but it's not the best for HDR

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:24.479
the 32-inch curved is a va panel you

00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:29.120
might get a better experience on the 27-inch ips panel but

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

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:36.479
still get to about 300 nits peak brightness and sdr which is not bad it's

00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:42.399
playable for those of you unfamiliar with HDR it's basically the idea of

00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:44.560
taking individual spots in the scene and

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:47.680
brightening those up so that you have a high dynamic range

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.000
you've got really bright brights and you've got really dark darks

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

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:59.600
like oh we need these highlights here but then you lose all this weird detail

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

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:09.680
of panels are edge lit and this this one's probably edgelit as well and if

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.800
it's just a single zone then it

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:15.279
basically just makes the whole panel brighter that doesn't usually look very

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.000
good but then when you get like six dimming zones

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:21.839
usually they're columns when you only have about six of them you get these

00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:27.760
weird like bright columns and it doesn't look good either so unless you have at

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.959
least like 16 zones to go like here like

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

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

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

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:47.279
we're just going to turn off we're using a quick ppi calculator here

00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:49.760
and as you can see with a 31.5 inch screen

00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.080
at 1440p this is kind of the max that you want to

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.959
go in terms of screen size to resolution because we're down to

00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:01.760
just barely 93 pixels per inch

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

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

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:14.160
ppi or something like that uh you really want like if we did a 27

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

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

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:29.920
buying either an nzxt or a Corsair product is uh you get their whole like

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:34.240
product suite it all syncs up really well instead of using the navigation

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

00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:42.560
pretty cool you will have to have your usb b

00:10:39.839 --> 00:10:47.680
hooked into your pc but it looks like it's displaying everything we've got a

00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:50.079
display resolution at 165 hertz our usb

00:10:47.680 --> 00:10:55.760
input is detected we've got our normal response time set to normal uh

00:10:52.640 --> 00:10:58.160
fast is okay fastest usually results in

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

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:05.920
here that's actually pretty sweet what's 2.4 look like not much different

00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:10.560
uh oh okay that's right all right cool cool it does work

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.880
brightness crank it

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

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

00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:25.440
saturation sharpness yeah this is actually great

00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:28.959
that you can just change all of this stuff from here because it's normally

00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:32.399
frustrating to try to go through on-screen displays

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:36.240
especially when you don't have something as good as a navigation nipple i don't

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

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.959
it does 98 or 99 of srgb

00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:48.800
but you could totally calibrate it you can also add a ton of different profiles

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

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:56.800
color profile for that so that things look a bit more filmmakery you can do

00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:00.720
that and then you can make a new profile for gaming that automatically goes to

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

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:08.880
fast instead of normal it also has some auto dimming stuff so you can set it

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

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:16.399
because the lights are out you can do that you can set up another profile for

00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:21.360
gaming and then it'll automatically switch to the gaming profile when you

00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:24.560
launch a game pretty cool stuff another thing to note we got a little lazy with

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.560
the usb cable but our power

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:32.480
all right our power and our DisplayPort are cable managed through the stand and

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

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:41.360
actually really like this method the best because it's very easy to put

00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:44.399
cables through there some are more hidden but then you've got to like

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:47.839
really force the cable through and anything bigger like a displayport cable

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

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

00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:01.200
a really big fan of these just like square bases and set it down because you

00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:03.839
can then use this as part of your desk say you have little figurines or

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

00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:13.120
way of that you can just be like oh it's a flat surface

00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:17.519
put them all along there so i do like it

00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:17.519
as for the panel itself

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

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:27.040
gonna be this big anyway i'd much rather

00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:31.600
they just shrunk it a bit made it wider and then went with uh 21x9 1440p

00:13:30.079 --> 00:13:36.560
ultrawide instead if i'm playing counter-strike and i gotta do a fast flick

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

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

00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:52.079
is when you're just moving around normally it's totally okay

00:13:49.839 --> 00:13:57.440
someone died there i can't emote oh wait what i get kisses

00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:01.760
there's eight different price points because of the different combinations of

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

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:11.519
front of you for the 32 inch white screen and the white stand it's 449

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:15.600
i would still definitely

00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:20.160
go for the 27 inch ips though personally if you

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

00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:31.440
white one with the stand for 379.99 so 380 dollars and it's 450 for

00:14:29.839 --> 00:14:36.399
the 32 inch guy if you want an even cheaper price what

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:41.839
you can do is you can buy just the panel for 320 dollars

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

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:50.079
monitor any more than that

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

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:57.760
because i'm really worried that the va panel is going to be just too blurry

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

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:05.680
it's not perfect it's not great

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:10.320
people really said this is like good motion clarity it definitely i can see

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

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

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

00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:28.959
panel but it is markedly better so i would personally suggest that

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

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

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.120
thanks for watching everyone this is nzxt's canvas display not bad if you

00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:46.000
