00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:08,200
today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the Acer v233h

2
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:11,400
ajbd this is a 23in widescreen monitor

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:14,240
it has 1080p resolution and it is a 16x9

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:18,600
monitor so that means that it is perfect and even I would say ideal for watching

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:23,160
HD content on your computer because you can run it completely unscaled so at

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,800
full resolution and also if you have 16x9 content which would be the standard

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,199
then you will not be seeing any black bars along the top and bottom of the

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:35,320
picture so let's have a look at the accessories that are included with it

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,559
this is a pretty value oriented monitor but it still comes with a fair number of

10
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:45,800
accessories so you got both of your cables included VGA as well as DVI so

11
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:50,360
VGA and DVI cables then you've also got a power cable this monitor has an

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,199
internal uh inverter so that means that you do not have to have an external

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,800
power brick with it next we've actually there that was it we've just got the

14
00:00:55,359 --> 00:01:00,600
monitor itself so I'm just going to turn this over and dump it out it is

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:06,080
compatible with Windows 7 according to the box which I'm flipping

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,960
over right now and there goes the base

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,600
that was fun okay so the Box goes down here the base goes

18
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:18,040
here it has a very simple base so it doesn't feature swivel or tilt or any of

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:24,079
those fancy features but what it does have is solidity going for it like I

20
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:29,240
said it's a fairly basic monitor but the reality of it is if you're looking for

21
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:31,720
sort of a high resolution reasonably big

22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:37,240
screen it's a 23 in then this is probably pretty much what you're looking

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,680
for so let's just open this up here and

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:43,479
then we've got a little cover over top of the screen so I'm just going to sorry

25
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,719
let me just bear with me here while I remove this and then we'll put this

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:53,240
monitor together and I'm actually unboxing this so that I can do a bit of

27
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:58,920
a comparison between a conventional cathode backlit LCD and an LED backlit

28
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:02,079
LCD so here let me just throw this on here and the first thing that we're

29
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:07,680
going to look at in our comparison is going to be the width because that is

30
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:13,120
one of the coolest things about Led backlight technology so check this out

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:19,040
okay so yes it does have tilt actually I take that back it has tilt in fact they

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,480
both have tilt okay so there you go that

33
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:26,080
is how much thinner an LED backlit display is because instead of having

34
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,879
these big tube lights in the back here it's actually just got individual LEDs

35
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,840
cameraman wants to have like sort of a better look at it oh yeah I see I see

36
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:38,680
why you want to do that okay so anyway that's it for my comparison you'll have

37
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,440
to watch the full NCIX Tech tips episode but we're going to look at sort of power

38
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:48,040
consumption as well as the differences in contrast ratio color reproduction as

39
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:52,519
well as thickness obviously here is where all of our onscreen controls are

40
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,760
so you got menu auto adjust uh navigating the menus as well as your

41
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,200
power button and that pretty much covers the oh cameraman wants me to turn it

42
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,440
around yeah because that do totally doesn't cover it so here at the back we've got ventilation because those

43
00:03:03,799 --> 00:03:09,760
lights do get quite hot that's yet another thing that you do not find on

44
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:14,400
the back of an LED backlit LCD we have four screws for our Visa Mount so if you

45
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,440
wanted to mount this to something like uh actually this would be a perfect

46
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,040
thing to mount on that cool ITX case that I unboxed a while back where it's

47
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:25,319
got a little ARM coming out of the top of the case and you just mount a monitor

48
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:31,200
on it so that'd be a perfect use for something like this here's your power in

49
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:34,120
as well as your DVI and VGA inputs it

50
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:38,120
does have a Kensington lock Port here so if you have H security concerns about

51
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,040
where this monitor is going to be placed then that would be a good way to secure

52
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:49,480
