1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,200 Welcome to Lionus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,440 powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,200 storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200 Lynxys. 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,519 The PA249Q is a true upgrade to the 246. That means 6 00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:30,800 we've got a 10-bit panel, improved electronics for even closer delta ease, 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:36,880 very very accurate color, and a wide wide range of colors, 100% coverage of 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,120 sRGB and Adobe RGB, 178° wide viewing 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:43,280 angle. So, this is using an IPS panel presumably. One moment. I got the thumbs 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,800 up right after we cut that last shot. So, our shot logger is going to go ahead 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:51,760 and take care of that. Basically what this is is it addresses that need from a 12 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,719 productivity standpoint to have a higher than 16x9 monitor because personally for 13 00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:01,280 me and I know this is true for a lot of people maybe not for watching movies but 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,280 for anything else spreadsheets graphic design having those extra pixels at the 15 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,320 top and the bottom really does help a lot just like the 246 quick fit is here 16 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,680 so that's the button that you press that basically puts little measurements all 17 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:19,119 over the screen that allows you to not have to eyeball things ever ever again. 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,799 There's even one for here we go a fourletter pictures, different pictures, 19 00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:28,159 all that kinds of good stuff. And I can tell you guys right now, just subjectively standing here looking at 20 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:32,640 it, holy crap, this thing is absolutely beautiful. So, I think this is even a 21 00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:38,000 thinner bezel than the last generation as well. Gorgeous. And there's also 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,240 markings here for uh for for aligning things and measuring things as well. 23 00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:43,920 It's getting dark in here and it's hard to see. They walked away with this 24 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:48,479 before we had a chance to show it to you, but JJ is going to send us some 25 00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:56,720 footage of this and we are going to talk about it. Basically, it is a 21x9 26 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:59,280 IPS 29 in monitor with side byside 27 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,200 essentially side byside 17in monitors. It's basically two sidebyside 17 in 28 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,840 which is great for watching movies in their full non blackbard glory. Great 29 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,760 for productivity h because you've got what is essentially a dual monitor setup 30 00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:15,440 on a single stand. It connects with a single display connector as well. And 31 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,959 you can even use the software that's included with your graphics card to 32 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:24,480 create virtual displays so that you can maximize things. And JJ wants to come on 33 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,440 in. Come on into the shot. You're we're 34 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,959 Yeah, tell us. I forgot one actually thing in this briefing is that um these new MX series 35 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,840 monitors also have our Sonic Master audio technology. The really cool thing 36 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,519 about that is that we actually have a really high-end integrated DAC built 37 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,280 into the actual speaker. Oh, so actually for users that are looking to have a consolidated monitor, but also 38 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,519 be able to have a high quality playback experience. Maybe you don't have like nicer end headphones, you don't have two 39 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,840 channel desktop speakers, you want to keep things really aesthetically clean, nice, but actually have some nice 40 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,599 quality sound that's been processed correctly. That's going to be built in directly into the panel. So that's going 41 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,200 to be a nice plus. That's awesome. There's an innovation we need. I mean, as you guys know, I love 42 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:06,159 higherend audio solutions. So onboard audio on anything that doesn't suck is 43 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,080 always like two thumbs up. Over here we have another really cool monitor. So VG 44 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,239 series monitors, we all know they're fantastic for gaming. This one takes the 45 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:18,879 cake. This one is fully NVIDIA 3D Vision ready. So all that stuff is fine. But 46 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,120 check this out. 1 millisecond response time. So that means you won't see, no 47 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:28,879 matter how closely you look at this, any kind of motion blur going on here. and 48 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:34,080 144 hertz refresh rate, which basically means that it is there that there's 49 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,519 there's no input lag. There's stuff happening and then there's you seeing 50 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,799 the stuff happening as clearly as possible. It's LED back lit. It's 1080p. 51 00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,799 Yes, it's a TN panel. However, if you are more concerned with the speed and 52 00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,560 responsiveness of your panel, even if you don't want to use stereoscopic 3D, 53 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,200 you just want to run, you want to take that GTX 680 you bought, you want to 54 00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:59,360 actually run your game at 144 frames per second and actually see every frame it's 55 00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:03,120 drawing, this is a solution for you. Yes, the colors are not going to be up 56 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,959 there with IPS or PLS or some of those other panel technologies, but if you 57 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:10,560 want that extra extra edge, then this is 58 00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:14,239 pretty much the way to go. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips so you 59 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,560 can check out all of our CES 2013 coverage. 60 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:25,560 Thanks for watching Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair, Seagate 61 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,560 Technology, and Lynxys.
