WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.759
today we have something pretty interesting to unbox I got cameraman

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:13.400
helping me today we have the pro art series LCD monitor PA

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:15.480
246 from ASUS now what makes this unique

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:21.640
with quite frankly any number of monitors on the

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:24.199
market that are 24 in okay they have a

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:29.279
black bezel you know height adjustment potentially uh you know built-in USB hob

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:34.280
built-in card reader uh it does support picture and picture which is kind of

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:36.120
neat but what separates this from every

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:40.840
other monitor on the market with a black bezel and a 24in

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

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:48.879
realized about monitor unboxings is that they take a really long time cuz

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

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

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:01.800
I'm like okay um so yeah what I realized

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

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.960
ungainly to deal with and I always tell you guys everything about the monitor

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

00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:18.200
going to unbox the product and then when

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

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.439
we have the accessories under the bottom layer styrofoam we get lots of different

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

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

00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:43.320
CD and a VIP member notice it's a

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:46.280
notice okay all right I

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:49.520
noticed I noticed it quick start guide excellent plug the thing into the thing

00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:54.360
hit the power button probably something along those lines ooh check this out

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

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:05.119
actually was was unboxed but check this out so this is a color calibration

00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:08.520
testing report this report was run on

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:10.840
your serial number this is not batch

00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:17.599
color calibration that is why this monitor is expensive this is an outof

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:19.120
thee boox calibrated LCD monitor that is

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

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

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:32.120
your face is done okay so we'll get into more of the

00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:35.360
features that are professional oriented later ah thank you cameraman here are

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

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:45.000
assume the monitor supports DisplayPort we've got VGA cable don't use that

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

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:55.319
DVI cable we also have a power cable pretty standard as well as a USB A2B

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

00:02:57.239 --> 00:03:05.000
and hold on to these accessories and let's deathless monitor opened up there

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:06.760
is by all appearances no real assembly

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

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

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:22.760
already like the the base on the uh mounting ARM feels very very very smooth

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:26.200
when you're adjusting things compared to uh some of the less expensive ones that

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

00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:34.200
can do with the ASUS uh PA 246 so we can

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

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

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.120
way up here we can go way down there

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

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

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

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

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:13.280
also do this actually I believe this is

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

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

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.360
have a look at the physical characteristics of it it's quite thick

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

00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:34.199
professional use so it's going to be built up as much Hardware as they deem

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

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:43.080
have lots of uh ventilation holes all along the top here actually only about

00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:49.000
half of these are ventilation holes same thing here on the back um right here

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:54.639
this is kind of funny to me but almost everything on this monitor has um

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:59.320
centimeter and centimeter and a half markings on it oh no it looks like it's

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

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

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:10.280
also marked and then there's an indicator at the front so it actually

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

00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:16.840
indicate okay you're at the maximum so there's halfway and then Max and then

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:23.000
same thing here at the back for the height adjust everything is

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

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:31.360
I'm going to go ahead and tilt it back check out the bottom here

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

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

00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:44.600
be audio we have VGA DVI oh yeah okay

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

00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:52.840
got HDMI in DisplayPort in so we have pretty much every option we could

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

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

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:07.720
make sure you don't do that all right um

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:11.800
let's go around to the I don't know what

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:14.240
he's on about sound I already said that

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:18.520
yeah yeah has speakers right maybe it doesn't okay hold on we'll be

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:23.080
back yeah okay so those are just for the HDMI and DisplayPort inputs so that you

00:06:20.840 --> 00:06:26.639
can actually plug headphones into the headphone jack on the bottom of the

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:30.039
Monitor and you can hear sound that way so cameraman is now showing you some of

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:34.880
the features that I promised to talk about once we got the monitor out of the

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

00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:46.680
LCD uh panel technologies that is TN VA

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.759
which would be PVA MVA or IPS this is

00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:54.319
the highest end one in terms of color accuracy as well as uh professional use

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

00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:04.039
monitor it uses a proper PC 16x 10

00:07:01.479 --> 00:07:09.360
aspect ratio instead of the more theater and movie oriented 16 to9 that gives you

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:14.520
that extra little bit of vertical that gives you more space to work when you

00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:19.080
are using a PC desktop as opposed to watching a movie I mean for gaming 1080p

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.520
is great but for professional work I really do prefer to have that extra

00:07:20.479 --> 00:07:26.840
little bit of vertical okay we've also got they advertise here okay it uses

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

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.400
which I'm to understand is quite impressive uh that basically means that

00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:38.080
the color is very accurate six axis color adjustment supports picture and

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:42.759
picture the ergonom Mi stand we've definitely looked at already as well as

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:44.039
the USB hub and 7 in-one card reader now

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:48.000
here's something that I thought was pretty darn cool so you can see all up

00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:52.039
the right side of the monitor there are little marks as well as all along the

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

00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:01.520
then all along the left side and all along the bottom of the mark uh the

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:06.159
bottom of the monitor is a metric so that's in centimet and half CM

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.919
increments so I I thought that was hilarious uh I don't know why but I

00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:12.639
thought it was uh on screen menu we don't normally show this on Tech tips

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

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:21.960
settings got some image settings got some picture and picture settings you

00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:26.599
can select your input which is much easier to do with the input button as

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

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:35.279
so why try it whoa look at that

00:08:32.680 --> 00:08:40.519
sweet that's actually really cool so it puts an overlay right over top of the

00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:46.000
screen in centimet or in inches and I'm going to go ahead and

00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:48.160
assume oh look at look at this oh that's

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:53.839
cool so you can quickly find out how big the thing

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

00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:03.560
your 5x7 huh

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.959
that's cool hey and yeah okay it doesn't

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

00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:17.880
feature okay well I think that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:19.560
unboxing of the pro art pa46 Q from Muse

00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:23.160
don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and

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

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

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:37.440
am right about there so the viewing angle is phenomenal actually really

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

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

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

00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:54.760
to make the the contrast and the colors look more vibrant tricks going on here

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

00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:03.950
a matte screen which is preferable for color accuracy
