1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,759
today we have something pretty interesting to unbox I got cameraman

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:13,400
helping me today we have the pro art series LCD monitor PA

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:15,480
246 from ASUS now what makes this unique

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:21,640
with quite frankly any number of monitors on the

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:24,199
market that are 24 in okay they have a

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:29,279
black bezel you know height adjustment potentially uh you know built-in USB hob

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,280
built-in card reader uh it does support picture and picture which is kind of

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,120
neat but what separates this from every

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,840
other monitor on the market with a black bezel and a 24in

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,920
diagonal screen well we're going to get into that a little bit cuz yeah I what I

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,879
realized about monitor unboxings is that they take a really long time cuz

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:53,760
monitors are big and I'm like weak and from the internet so and yes I stole

13
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:59,680
that from Crazy Russian he says it all the time that he's from the internet and

14
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:01,800
I'm like okay um so yeah what I realized

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,400
is that LCD unboxings take a long time cuz they're big and bulky and kind of

16
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:10,960
ungainly to deal with and I always tell you guys everything about the monitor

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:16,159
before I actually open the box so I'm not going to make that mistake today I'm

18
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:18,200
going to unbox the product and then when

19
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:22,560
I can show you the product itself I'm going to tell you all about it so here

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,439
we have the accessories under the bottom layer styrofoam we get lots of different

21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,960
accessories this is terrific we got a cable tie oh two cable ties no it's one

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:39,960
never mind mind it's just one I was I was getting pretty excited there for a second next we get uh support

23
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:43,320
CD and a VIP member notice it's a

24
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,280
notice okay all right I

25
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:49,520
noticed I noticed it quick start guide excellent plug the thing into the thing

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,360
hit the power button probably something along those lines ooh check this out

27
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,799
okay so I didn't I didn't get to save this for when the uh the monitor

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:05,119
actually was was unboxed but check this out so this is a color calibration

29
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:08,520
testing report this report was run on

30
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:10,840
your serial number this is not batch

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:17,599
color calibration that is why this monitor is expensive this is an outof

32
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:19,120
thee boox calibrated LCD monitor that is

33
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:22,920
why it is called a pro art so I'm going to finish showing you guys the yeah yeah

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,840
there's that don't put this bag over your own face or your baby's face or

35
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:32,120
your face is done okay so we'll get into more of the

36
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,360
features that are professional oriented later ah thank you cameraman here are

37
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:40,800
the cables that are included we have one DisplayPort cable so I'm going to go ahead and jump out on a limb here and

38
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:45,000
assume the monitor supports DisplayPort we've got VGA cable don't use that

39
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:49,519
crying out loud please don't buy a $500 Monitor and then use that and we have a

40
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:55,319
DVI cable we also have a power cable pretty standard as well as a USB A2B

41
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:59,560
cable or printer USB cable for the built-in Hub so I'm going to go ahead

42
00:02:57,239 --> 00:03:05,000
and hold on to these accessories and let's deathless monitor opened up there

43
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,760
is by all appearances no real assembly

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,120
required to speak of I'm going to go ahead and take off the plastic here uh

45
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,599
we've got our height adjustable stem it's pretty sweet oo I like the uh I

46
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:22,760
already like the the base on the uh mounting ARM feels very very very smooth

47
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,200
when you're adjusting things compared to uh some of the less expensive ones that

48
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:31,599
I've seen okay so why don't we go through all the range of motion that we

49
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:34,200
can do with the ASUS uh PA 246 so we can

50
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:38,439
go up and down so here's the very bottom you can see that the monitor is actually

51
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:46,319
almost resting right on the base we can go up this High all right tilt we can go

52
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,120
way up here we can go way down there

53
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,840
okay I mean very few people sit and look up at their monitor so that's you know

54
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:59,280
doesn't need to go too far down it's better if you look at this from this side I think okay uh pivot look at that

55
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,280
it can pivot all the way to that side and all all the way to that side so

56
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:10,720
that's like uh that that's that's pretty good seems to me okay uh you can

57
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:13,280
also do this actually I believe this is

58
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,840
called uh oh yeah no this is swivel that's right so it can swivel it can go

59
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:21,880
into portrait mode can't quite go upside down okay go ahead and do that uh let's

60
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:26,360
have a look at the physical characteristics of it it's quite thick

61
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,919
this is not a thin monitor it's not like a a dainty monitor this is meant for

62
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:34,199
professional use so it's going to be built up as much Hardware as they deem

63
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:39,560
necessary to put inside it they're just going to do it they're not going to try and make it thinner so it's going to

64
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,080
have lots of uh ventilation holes all along the top here actually only about

65
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:49,000
half of these are ventilation holes same thing here on the back um right here

66
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:54,639
this is kind of funny to me but almost everything on this monitor has um

67
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:59,320
centimeter and centimeter and a half markings on it oh no it looks like it's

68
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,840
inches on the uh on the oh no okay there's in and centimet there that's

69
00:05:00,919 --> 00:05:05,840
kind of neat but so yeah you can see that's marked you can see down here is

70
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,280
also marked and then there's an indicator at the front so it actually

71
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:13,479
shows you okay you're you're that far off now and then there's a little dot to

72
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,840
indicate okay you're at the maximum so there's halfway and then Max and then

73
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:23,000
same thing here at the back for the height adjust everything is

74
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,759
marked it's kind of neat okay let's go ahead and have a look at our inputs so

75
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:31,360
I'm going to go ahead and tilt it back check out the bottom here

76
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:35,360
um I'm not sure if we're going to have enough light from that angle I'm going to actually tilt it this way and then

77
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:42,919
you can have a look from that side Okay so we've got our USB in that appears to

78
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,600
be audio we have VGA DVI oh yeah okay

79
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:49,000
there's the 7 in1 card reader as well as the two USB ports on the side okay we've

80
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:52,840
got HDMI in DisplayPort in so we have pretty much every option we could

81
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:57,800
possibly need as far as inputs go we've got our power as well as a power switch

82
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:03,960
there's a warranty void if seal damaged thing on the bottom here so that's a

83
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:07,720
make sure you don't do that all right um

84
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:11,800
let's go around to the I don't know what

85
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,240
he's on about sound I already said that

86
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:18,520
yeah yeah has speakers right maybe it doesn't okay hold on we'll be

87
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:23,080
back yeah okay so those are just for the HDMI and DisplayPort inputs so that you

88
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:26,639
can actually plug headphones into the headphone jack on the bottom of the

89
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:30,039
Monitor and you can hear sound that way so cameraman is now showing you some of

90
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:34,880
the features that I promised to talk about once we got the monitor out of the

91
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:43,680
box and that is that this uses an IPS panel so IPS is out of the three main

92
00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:46,680
LCD uh panel technologies that is TN VA

93
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,759
which would be PVA MVA or IPS this is

94
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:54,319
the highest end one in terms of color accuracy as well as uh professional use

95
00:06:52,759 --> 00:07:01,479
so that's why it is the pro art something else that I wanted to point out to you guys this is a 1920x 1200

96
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:04,039
monitor it uses a proper PC 16x 10

97
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:09,360
aspect ratio instead of the more theater and movie oriented 16 to9 that gives you

98
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:14,520
that extra little bit of vertical that gives you more space to work when you

99
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:19,080
are using a PC desktop as opposed to watching a movie I mean for gaming 1080p

100
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,520
is great but for professional work I really do prefer to have that extra

101
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:26,840
little bit of vertical okay we've also got they advertise here okay it uses

102
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Adobe RGB we've got the color accuracy is down to a Delta e of less than five

103
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,400
which I'm to understand is quite impressive uh that basically means that

104
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,080
the color is very accurate six axis color adjustment supports picture and

105
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:42,759
picture the ergonom Mi stand we've definitely looked at already as well as

106
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,039
the USB hub and 7 in-one card reader now

107
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:48,000
here's something that I thought was pretty darn cool so you can see all up

108
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:52,039
the right side of the monitor there are little marks as well as all along the

109
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:57,039
top those are all in inches so you've got inch half inch and/ qu in marks and

110
00:07:55,319 --> 00:08:01,520
then all along the left side and all along the bottom of the mark uh the

111
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,159
bottom of the monitor is a metric so that's in centimet and half CM

112
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:09,919
increments so I I thought that was hilarious uh I don't know why but I

113
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,639
thought it was uh on screen menu we don't normally show this on Tech tips

114
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:18,840
but since we have the monitor plugged in anyway we might as well so you got a few different modes here got some color

115
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,960
settings got some image settings got some picture and picture settings you

116
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,599
can select your input which is much easier to do with the input button as

117
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:32,680
well as system setup uh there is a quick fit button which it requests that I try

118
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:35,279
so why try it whoa look at that

119
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:40,519
sweet that's actually really cool so it puts an overlay right over top of the

120
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:46,000
screen in centimet or in inches and I'm going to go ahead and

121
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:48,160
assume oh look at look at this oh that's

122
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,839
cool so you can quickly find out how big the thing

123
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,680
you're working with is just by using this button so there's your 8x10 there's

124
00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:03,560
your 5x7 huh

125
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:04,959
that's cool hey and yeah okay it doesn't

126
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:12,800
actually line up with the ones on the side of the monitor so these seem to be mostly for show but this this is a cool

127
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:17,880
feature okay well I think that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my

128
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,560
unboxing of the pro art pa46 Q from Muse

129
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,160
don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and

130
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:29,000
other videos and actually before we finish up right here I got to tell you guys the color in the image looks about

131
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,800
right up until about this angle for me so Cera man can come over here where I

132
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:37,440
am right about there so the viewing angle is phenomenal actually really

133
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:41,440
impressed with that you come to expect that from an IPS panel also it's not a

134
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,600
matte screen so there are no there are no um or rather it is a matte screen

135
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:49,880
there's it's not a glossy screen so there's no um use a really shiny screen

136
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,760
to make the the contrast and the colors look more vibrant tricks going on here

137
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:59,399
it's all just the quality of the panel the quality of the backl and it is using

138
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:03,950
a matte screen which is preferable for color accuracy
