WEBVTT 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.200 Welcome to Lionus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.440 powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:16.200 storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is 00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.200 Lynxys. 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:25.519 The PA249Q is a true upgrade to the 246. That means 00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:30.800 we've got a 10-bit panel, improved electronics for even closer delta ease, 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:36.880 very very accurate color, and a wide wide range of colors, 100% coverage of 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.120 sRGB and Adobe RGB, 178° wide viewing 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:43.280 angle. So, this is using an IPS panel presumably. One moment. I got the thumbs 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 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.760 and take care of that. Basically what this is is it addresses that need from a 00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:56.719 productivity standpoint to have a higher than 16x9 monitor because personally for 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 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.280 for anything else spreadsheets graphic design having those extra pixels at the 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 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.680 so that's the button that you press that basically puts little measurements all 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:19.119 over the screen that allows you to not have to eyeball things ever ever again. 00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.799 There's even one for here we go a fourletter pictures, different pictures, 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 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:32.640 it, holy crap, this thing is absolutely beautiful. So, I think this is even a 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:38.000 thinner bezel than the last generation as well. Gorgeous. And there's also 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:40.240 markings here for uh for for aligning things and measuring things as well. 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 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 00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:56.720 footage of this and we are going to talk about it. Basically, it is a 21x9 00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:59.280 IPS 29 in monitor with side byside 00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:03.200 essentially side byside 17in monitors. It's basically two sidebyside 17 in 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.840 which is great for watching movies in their full non blackbard glory. Great 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.760 for productivity h because you've got what is essentially a dual monitor setup 00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:15.440 on a single stand. It connects with a single display connector as well. And 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:18.959 you can even use the software that's included with your graphics card to 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:24.480 create virtual displays so that you can maximize things. And JJ wants to come on 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:25.440 in. Come on into the shot. You're we're 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 00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:33.840 monitors also have our Sonic Master audio technology. The really cool thing 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.519 about that is that we actually have a really high-end integrated DAC built 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 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 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 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 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 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:06.159 higherend audio solutions. So onboard audio on anything that doesn't suck is 00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:10.080 always like two thumbs up. Over here we have another really cool monitor. So VG 00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.239 series monitors, we all know they're fantastic for gaming. This one takes the 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:18.879 cake. This one is fully NVIDIA 3D Vision ready. So all that stuff is fine. But 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.120 check this out. 1 millisecond response time. So that means you won't see, no 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:28.879 matter how closely you look at this, any kind of motion blur going on here. and 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:34.080 144 hertz refresh rate, which basically means that it is there that there's 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:37.519 there's no input lag. There's stuff happening and then there's you seeing 00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:42.799 the stuff happening as clearly as possible. It's LED back lit. It's 1080p. 00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.799 Yes, it's a TN panel. However, if you are more concerned with the speed and 00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:50.560 responsiveness of your panel, even if you don't want to use stereoscopic 3D, 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 00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:59.360 actually run your game at 144 frames per second and actually see every frame it's 00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:03.120 drawing, this is a solution for you. Yes, the colors are not going to be up 00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:08.959 there with IPS or PLS or some of those other panel technologies, but if you 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.560 want that extra extra edge, then this is 00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:14.239 pretty much the way to go.
