Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is Lynxys. The PA249Q is a true upgrade to the 246. That means we've got a 10-bit panel, improved electronics for even closer delta ease, very very accurate color, and a wide wide range of colors, 100% coverage of sRGB and Adobe RGB, 178° wide viewing angle. So, this is using an IPS panel presumably. One moment. I got the thumbs up right after we cut that last shot. So, our shot logger is going to go ahead and take care of that. Basically what this is is it addresses that need from a productivity standpoint to have a higher than 16x9 monitor because personally for me and I know this is true for a lot of people maybe not for watching movies but for anything else spreadsheets graphic design having those extra pixels at the top and the bottom really does help a lot just like the 246 quick fit is here so that's the button that you press that basically puts little measurements all over the screen that allows you to not have to eyeball things ever ever again. There's even one for here we go a fourletter pictures, different pictures, all that kinds of good stuff. And I can tell you guys right now, just subjectively standing here looking at it, holy crap, this thing is absolutely beautiful. So, I think this is even a thinner bezel than the last generation as well. Gorgeous. And there's also markings here for uh for for aligning things and measuring things as well. It's getting dark in here and it's hard to see. They walked away with this before we had a chance to show it to you, but JJ is going to send us some footage of this and we are going to talk about it. Basically, it is a 21x9 IPS 29 in monitor with side byside essentially side byside 17in monitors. It's basically two sidebyside 17 in which is great for watching movies in their full non blackbard glory. Great for productivity h because you've got what is essentially a dual monitor setup on a single stand. It connects with a single display connector as well. And you can even use the software that's included with your graphics card to create virtual displays so that you can maximize things. And JJ wants to come on in. Come on into the shot. You're we're Yeah, tell us. I forgot one actually thing in this briefing is that um these new MX series monitors also have our Sonic Master audio technology. The really cool thing about that is that we actually have a really high-end integrated DAC built into the actual speaker. Oh, so actually for users that are looking to have a consolidated monitor, but also be able to have a high quality playback experience. Maybe you don't have like nicer end headphones, you don't have two channel desktop speakers, you want to keep things really aesthetically clean, nice, but actually have some nice quality sound that's been processed correctly. That's going to be built in directly into the panel. So that's going to be a nice plus. That's awesome. There's an innovation we need. I mean, as you guys know, I love higherend audio solutions.
