00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:08.200
today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the Acer v233h

00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:11.400
ajbd this is a 23in widescreen monitor

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:14.240
it has 1080p resolution and it is a 16x9

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:18.600
monitor so that means that it is perfect and even I would say ideal for watching

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:23.160
HD content on your computer because you can run it completely unscaled so at

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:27.800
full resolution and also if you have 16x9 content which would be the standard

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:31.199
then you will not be seeing any black bars along the top and bottom of the

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.320
picture so let's have a look at the accessories that are included with it

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.559
this is a pretty value oriented monitor but it still comes with a fair number of

00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:45.800
accessories so you got both of your cables included VGA as well as DVI so

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:50.360
VGA and DVI cables then you've also got a power cable this monitor has an

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.199
internal uh inverter so that means that you do not have to have an external

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

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

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:06.080
compatible with Windows 7 according to the box which I'm flipping

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:08.960
over right now and there goes the base

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:13.600
that was fun okay so the Box goes down here the base goes

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

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:24.079
those fancy features but what it does have is solidity going for it like I

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

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:31.720
sort of a high resolution reasonably big

00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:37.240
screen it's a 23 in then this is probably pretty much what you're looking

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.680
for so let's just open this up here and

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

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

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:53.240
monitor together and I'm actually unboxing this so that I can do a bit of

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:58.920
a comparison between a conventional cathode backlit LCD and an LED backlit

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

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:07.680
going to look at in our comparison is going to be the width because that is

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:13.120
one of the coolest things about Led backlight technology so check this out

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

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.480
both have tilt okay so there you go that

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:26.080
is how much thinner an LED backlit display is because instead of having

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:30.879
these big tube lights in the back here it's actually just got individual LEDs

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

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

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

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:48.040
consumption as well as the differences in contrast ratio color reproduction as

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:52.519
well as thickness obviously here is where all of our onscreen controls are

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:56.760
so you got menu auto adjust uh navigating the menus as well as your

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.200
power button and that pretty much covers the oh cameraman wants me to turn it

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

00:03:03.799 --> 00:03:09.760
lights do get quite hot that's yet another thing that you do not find on

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

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:18.440
wanted to mount this to something like uh actually this would be a perfect

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

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

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

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:34.120
as well as your DVI and VGA inputs it

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:38.120
does have a Kensington lock Port here so if you have H security concerns about

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

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:49.480
