So today we're going to be unboxing the Samsung c27 a750 X now that is not um
it's a pretty sort of difficult to understand name but I'll be explaining
what exactly is so cool and special about this product over the course of
the unboxing we're just going to get straight into it and we are going to
break the seal on this guy and well oh
okay well that seal was broken this one is num here we are and a cameraman who
is helping me today is apparently having a look at a couple of these logos on the
box here so why don't we go through them really quickly HDMI is pretty
self-explanatory dual hinge aha dual hinge so dual hinge allows you to
conveniently position this monitor either above or to the side of your
laptop very easily okay USB hub that's
fairly self-explanatory USB Ethernet we'll get more into this later USB 3.0
is supported and wireless so this is a
wireless product so what makes a monitor Wireless more on that later as well so
let's have a look at the packing and the physical attributes in case you guys are
wondering about the getup uh it's game 7 right now the Canucks are playing
against the Bruins it's only one nothing Bruins right now but it's only the first
period so there's plenty of time for that to change and if any of our viewers
are our Boston fans then I guess you might as as well just unsubscribe now
because you know we're never going to have any Common Ground ever so yeah get
off my channel pretty much okay here we go wow this is a remarkably
thin monitor check this out so this is an LED back lit full HD
LCD monitor Samsung is using every trick in
the book to get the best possible viewing angles and the highest contrast
ratios out of this particular screen I mean look how thick that is here let me
pull up my iPhone so you guys can see for comparison how thick it is look at
that and it's actually quite light even though it is a 27 in full HD 1080p
monitor as well I can quite easily hold this up with one hand so let's have a
look at the dual hinge design real quick
here so there we go the dual hinge
design allows us to either position it down low which if you have a
notebook next to it is very convenient means you can much more easily align the
bottom screen of your notebook the bottom of the screen on your notebook
with the bottom of the screen for your monitor but you've also got another
hinge on the back and I'll I'll show you how the hinge at the back Works in a second but let me just do that first so
the second hinge at the back allows us to position it up higher should we so
desire like that so then it's more like a conventional
monitor all right so let's have a look once again more physical attributes so
the on screen display is handled right here this is where you can select your
input these are your navigation buttons power is right here all right wireless
connection is here and like I said more on that in a moment let's move around to
the side here where you can see the built-in USB 3.0 ports HDMI in as well
as a headphone jack moving around to the
back we have more stuff so there's our power there's our USB PC in so you can
actually connect to this monitor via USB
all right Lan as well as uh VGA
in moving around to the other side we've got a couple more USB ports so those are
USB 2.0 so there's four USB ports total two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 okay few
more few more looks at the overall appearance of the monitor itself you've
got a beautiful brushed finish on the stand so can can you really see that
here in the light that we have in this room y good okay very very glossy back
to the monitor itself with the Samsung branding here so you can see how shiny
it is cuz you can see my conu logo here in the back of the monitor in all
likelihood okay the front of the screen is using what is my preferred uh
screen type and that is a matte screen so that means that uh you actually have
to to build a much higher quality product in order to achieve excellent
color reproduction on a matte screen often you use glossy screens to make
things look more vibrant whereas with a matte screen you can't really use that
hack here we have um pretty much more of
the same that we saw in the front so I'll be back in just a moment here guys to tell you about some of the cool
features in this monitor all right guys so let's go
through the package contents here we've got our power brick which is quite small
that is to be expected this is a power efficient LED back lit LCD monitor we
have a USB 3 cable okay we have a power
cord for the power brick we have a VGA cable just in case you need one we also
have a disc that you may actually need it has the users manual as well as
Samsung Central Station setup we have a
cleaning cloth and then some quick setup guide and other documentation now
this this is where the magic
happens okay so basically there's two different ways to use this monitor as
your central hub for your PC one is to
connect via USB 3 or USB 2 USB 2 is uh
it is backwards compatible with USB 2 so you connect this guy in here and then
you just plug this into either a USB 3 or a USB 2 Port but USB 3 will give you
better performance or you can actually
do this wirelessly and you can connect to the monitor that is display
LAN all wirelessly from your PC to the
monitor so the other let's just go in summary the main features of this
monitor are the wireless or wired connectivity to your PC where instead of
having a notebook where you you know you get into the office and you plug it into
a dock and it's got your peripherals all connected instead you plug it right into
your monitor or don't even plug it into your monitor just use this and you can
plug all of your peripherals into the built-in USB hub and all of the data is
transmitted that way the other big features are the dual hinge so that
allows you to bring it right down close to the table if I can yes there we go
right down close to the table so that it's going to be more ergonomic to use
with a notebook the next one is power consumption so you've got the LED
backlight you've also got a few different Eco modes on the monitor so
you can actually just manually select how much power consumption you want the
monitor to have versus how much uh backlight brightness and uh things that
consume more power you want it to have and it also has some cool automatic
power savings with respect to this guy so once you disconnect your PC from it
turns itself off when you connect your PC to it it turns itself back on now
that is not a completely off State but it is going to dramatically reduce the
power consumption compared to having it not uh off um also Samsung claims this
has pretty much the best viewing angle that they are capable of achieving as
well as excellent color reproduction this is a truly high-end product from
Samsung it has all the latest bells and whistles including bells and whistles
that didn't even really exist yet and thank you for checking out my unboxing
