WEBVTT 00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:03.530 - So you like unboxings? You like monitors? 00:00:03.530 --> 00:00:07.930 Well, how about I unbox, four monitors. 00:00:07.930 --> 00:00:12.565 Hold on, I gotta catch up to the dialogue. They told me it was gonna be three. 00:00:12.565 --> 00:00:17.550 - Four monitors! - All the Dell monitors that were launching this month, here they are. 00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:20.860 A 24-inch, a 27-inch, a 32- inch, 00:00:20.860 --> 00:00:24.220 and a bigger one, 34 wide. We're gonna get these open. 00:00:24.220 --> 00:00:27.930 We're gonna compare them. And you're gonna figure out which one you wanna buy. 00:00:27.930 --> 00:00:32.490 Come along. Do you like max? This one stepping right out of the box. 00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:36.860 Okay. Some instructions, plastic bag that doesn't need to exist, 00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:40.663 but now it's on this earth for 5,000 years. Displayport cable, 00:00:40.663 --> 00:00:44.890 USB cable, power cable. HDMI cable. 00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:48.380 Base. (bass drum beat) Ah, hmm. 00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:50.630 I swear there's a robot that looks like that. 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.103 Ooh, oh, this is cool. Do I have to, yeah, I do. 00:00:55.103 --> 00:00:58.600 I've gotta screw some stuff. I'm the only tool here required for this. 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.393 Look at these fins. Hold on, I'll show you. 00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:07.560 Cool, I like the stylings. This is the baby one. 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.360 This is a gaming monitor. This is a 240 Hertz, fast IPS gaming monitor. 00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:14.560 But it could totally be at your desk at an office. 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.470 But it's not boring either. Like this is like, striding the line between executive and gamer. 00:01:19.470 --> 00:01:22.650 And I think that's perfect for a category or product where 00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:27.190 increasingly, there's not really a much difference between gamer and workstation stuff. 00:01:27.190 --> 00:01:29.063 All right, so let's see the other one's. 00:01:31.075 --> 00:01:34.820 24 and a half inches is for, near-sighted people though. 00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:36.053 I want a 27. 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.520 I'm pretty sure that's different. Yeah, that's different already. There's no fins on the back of it 00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:45.820 and this nub is even different. It's actually smaller, somehow. 00:01:45.820 --> 00:01:49.580 What is going on? Spoiler alert of what the back looks like. 00:01:51.290 --> 00:01:55.030 Clicks in, no tools required. Oh no, I should've done this first. 00:01:56.780 --> 00:02:00.540 Any new monitor these days that requires any more work than I what I just did, 00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:03.700 is doing it wrong 'cause that is so easy and still so secure. 00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:08.250 27-inch version. I like this stand more. It actually has a different finish too. 00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:11.537 This one's more. I guess this is also plastic, 00:02:11.537 --> 00:02:15.544 but it's just higher quality feeling than this. 00:02:15.544 --> 00:02:17.643 All right, and then this one. Okay. 00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:22.460 The first one was IPS. The next one is VA. 00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:25.860 This third one, also VA. 00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:30.050 It's almost identical except it's bigger. The first one, full HD. 00:02:30.050 --> 00:02:35.060 The next two, 1440p. But there actually are some differences between 00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:36.960 even number two and number three here. 00:02:39.858 --> 00:02:43.970 Oh, big boy. Main differences between these two, 00:02:43.970 --> 00:02:47.800 which are almost identical, other than the size, is the curve. 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.120 Number one, no curve at all. But on the VA ones 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.050 that are larger, they are curved. So the 27-inch has the 1500R curve, 00:02:55.050 --> 00:02:59.890 which means if you made a whole circle out of them, the radius of that circle would be 1.5 meters. 00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:05.420 This one has an 1800R curve. So it is less curvy, but it actually kinda looks more curvy 00:03:05.420 --> 00:03:09.100 from the top, just by virtue of it being bigger. IMO. 00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:12.666 Now let's get the ultra wide out of the box. (grunting) 00:03:12.666 --> 00:03:17.460 (indistinct) David, I think we're gonna do this on the floor. I wonder if they're going to have a different, oh wow. 00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:19.110 Surprise, it's actually the same. 00:03:20.980 --> 00:03:24.750 I should just mix and match these stands. There will be none the wiser. 00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:26.063 All these cables. 00:03:30.238 --> 00:03:33.870 (groaning) You need a tall person for the family photo. 00:03:33.870 --> 00:03:38.870 That is the fact, this is the 34-inch WQHD, chungus. 00:03:40.550 --> 00:03:44.523 Like the other VA, this one also has an 1800R curve. 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.425 Like this. Oh my muscles. 00:03:49.425 --> 00:03:52.470 (groaning) - [David] Shoulder press, please. - Nope, I'm done. 00:03:52.470 --> 00:03:55.910 Okay, lots of choices. They're all sexy. 00:03:55.910 --> 00:04:00.330 I'm sure they're all great. But which one's for you? Let's start with refresh rate. 00:04:00.330 --> 00:04:05.570 240 Hertz, 165 Hertz, 00:04:05.570 --> 00:04:08.880 144 Hertz. So they're all high refresh rate. 00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:14.090 144 Hertz is a luxury for a lot of people. 165 is a nice bonus. 00:04:14.090 --> 00:04:18.330 And if you're really competitive, there's 240. So this one's kind of on its own. 00:04:18.330 --> 00:04:21.940 I would say these three are probably more comp comparable to each other. 00:04:21.940 --> 00:04:25.583 Whereas this one is the only one that's a fast IPS. Not a TN. 00:04:25.583 --> 00:04:29.680 Man, IPSs are just taking over the world. I don't even know if they're gonna make TN panels soon. 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.870 This is the motion gamery one. It's also the only one that has NVIDIA G-Sync compatible. 00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:39.670 All of them are Free-Sync Premium. And you know, they're gonna have adaptive sync through HDMI. 00:04:39.670 --> 00:04:42.940 Now it does not have the G-Sync hardware module in it. 00:04:42.940 --> 00:04:48.280 That is the next tier up. All right, gamers, how about the GREY to GREY pixel response time? 00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:51.690 Obviously, there's a lot of marketing hoopla that goes into this number. 00:04:51.690 --> 00:04:55.840 But relatively speaking, Dell advertises the fast IPS 00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:00.130 as having a one millisecond pixel response time, where the rest of these are advertised as having 00:05:00.130 --> 00:05:04.800 two millisecond GREY to GREY pixel response time. No real rhyme or reason to the brightness. 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.550 This one's 400 nits. The VAs are 350 nits. 00:05:08.550 --> 00:05:12.060 But keep in mind, they'll still have higher contrast 'cause VAs have deeper blacks. 00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:16.000 And then this one, which is also VA, is back up to 400 nits. 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.410 These aren't gonna be great HDR monitors. They don't have direct backlights. 00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:24.650 They're described as having, I think, a light at the top that gets diffused downward. 00:05:24.650 --> 00:05:28.530 They are Vesa DisplayHDR 400 Certified, which is better than nothing, 00:05:28.530 --> 00:05:32.940 but it's actually not much better than nothing. It's basically means, don't use this for HDR. 00:05:32.940 --> 00:05:36.680 None of these have speakers. So, if for some reason you don't have a headset 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.570 or external speakers, this isn't gonna work for you. But they're not TVs, they're monitors. 00:05:40.570 --> 00:05:44.220 You shouldn't expect them to have speakers. They're all pretty similar with their height adjustment 00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:48.050 and their tilt. This ultra wide gets some amount of, 00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:52.310 you know, you get your four degrees of rotation, I guess they just call it slant adjust, 00:05:52.310 --> 00:05:57.340 just in case, you know, there's a piece of toast under one of your table legs. These ones don't really have that. 00:05:57.340 --> 00:06:02.440 There's no swivel here. You can just turn the whole stand. But our friend over here, that, 00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:07.520 which is interestingly, the most gaming one, with a different stand, does have swivel. 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:10.760 Actually, that's a bit of swivel. That is decent. 00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:14.290 And also rotates 90 degrees, both ways. 00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:18.070 Very nice. For I/O, these three models are the same. 00:06:18.070 --> 00:06:23.967 And the ultra wide is a little different. Let's start with the smaller ones. Two HDMI 2.0 ports, 00:06:23.967 --> 00:06:27.810 one Displayport 1.2. Remember, the newest one is 1.4. 00:06:27.810 --> 00:06:31.510 And an audio headphone port. And of course there's the upstream USB port. 00:06:31.510 --> 00:06:36.190 There's power, there's hub for the other two USBs. And there's two more over here. 00:06:36.190 --> 00:06:41.263 Beside your headphone jack. Pretty good, is this a light? Ooh. Then on the ultra wide. 00:06:42.482 --> 00:06:48.520 - [David] Nice. - Oh my God. We again have to HDMI 2.0 ports, one Displayport port. 00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:52.430 But this time it's 1.4, which they needed to push all those pixels for the resolution. 00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:57.230 Then you got four downstream USB 3.0 ports, one of which it supports charging, 00:06:57.230 --> 00:07:01.560 and your upstream port and audio headphone port. I like this little, this curve that comes out. 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.013 These are nice looking. Feel? 00:07:05.130 --> 00:07:08.400 I dunno. They don't feel super premium. 00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:13.777 They're plastic, is what it is. How about the price though? You know, there's no bad products, just bad pricing. 00:07:13.777 --> 00:07:17.457 $400, $409, 00:07:17.457 --> 00:07:20.893 $500, $720. 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.440 Kind of interesting that these are only $10 apart. One being smaller, but faster. 00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:31.430 The other being larger, and darker. 00:07:31.430 --> 00:07:34.560 I don't know, I'm kinda thinking that this is the one. 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.530 We're gonna see what it's like to play games on these two monitors, right after this message from our sponsor, Morning Brew. 00:07:39.530 --> 00:07:43.830 It's not coffee, it's a free daily newsletter delivered right to you every day of the week. 00:07:43.830 --> 00:07:48.210 They aggregate everything that's happening in the business, finance, and tech spaces, and present it to you in a format 00:07:48.210 --> 00:07:52.320 that's easy to consume. Now you don't need to go looking for news. You just wait for the notification, 00:07:52.320 --> 00:07:56.270 open the newsletter up, and read to your heart's content. It might sound simple. 00:07:56.270 --> 00:08:00.080 That's because it is. So try yourself. Get subscribed for free at the link below, 00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:05.230 in just 15 seconds. Oh, they actually have, they have buttons going up the side here for the OSD. 00:08:05.230 --> 00:08:08.240 But the power button is separated down here by itself, 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.510 which I like. 'Cause there's nothing worse than accidentally turning your monitor off 00:08:11.510 --> 00:08:17.700 when you're tryna go through your on-screen display. See, it's detecting 239, 240 frames per second. 00:08:17.700 --> 00:08:21.740 I can't make out that each one of these dots on the shift is actually like three little dots, 00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:26.550 but I can see his shifter stick. I can see the dots in his eyes. 00:08:26.550 --> 00:08:32.430 There is some blur on the trailing edge of the ship. But if I looked down compared to these ones, 00:08:32.430 --> 00:08:36.530 yeah, these ones are way worse. 240 Hertz is nice to have people. 00:08:36.530 --> 00:08:40.010 It's a very smooth. (David laughs) I like to use the pursuit camera one 00:08:40.010 --> 00:08:43.100 to look at inverse ghosting if there's too much overdrive on 00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:47.790 because the background is a different color. I don't see a lot of it at all, really no. 00:08:47.790 --> 00:08:52.110 Sometimes on the leading edge you'll have like a white kinda halo. 00:08:52.110 --> 00:08:56.120 Well, no, that looks pretty good. Let's play "Counter-Strike." 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.073 Wow, this is very crisp. Very crisp. 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:04.960 Now, I don't speak this language, but I pretty sure that if I did, I could read this. 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.730 Now, one thing that's gonna differ between the IPS and the VA panels, 00:09:08.730 --> 00:09:11.493 is the GREY to GREY response time in shadows. 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.830 Sometimes you can see on edges like that inverse ghosting. 00:09:16.830 --> 00:09:21.410 If you go like this really quickly, it'll, there'll be like a little white shadow that comes off it. 00:09:21.410 --> 00:09:24.173 That looks pretty good. It's not immediately awful. 00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:28.430 All right, this is more my speed in terms of the aspect ratio. 00:09:28.430 --> 00:09:33.580 'Cause I use a 32 by nine in my desk. So I really, really, 00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:38.400 really recommend an ultra wide for, whoa (laughs) 00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:43.880 for productivity. Honestly, this feels like 60 now that I've had 240. 00:09:43.880 --> 00:09:48.100 But, it's not. It's 144, which is supposed to be plenty fast for us. 00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:52.660 I do feel like this one is a little more vibrant. 00:09:52.660 --> 00:09:56.730 This is the only one of the lineup that they, they advertise the gamut coverage 00:09:56.730 --> 00:09:59.787 in terms of the DCIP3 color space, whereas the other ones, they just, 00:09:59.787 --> 00:10:02.960 "Oh, 99% coverage of sRGB." 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.330 So, it does have a bigger color gamut. It looks a little more like drab, 00:10:08.330 --> 00:10:12.360 but probably more accurate. But I'm not assessing their color quality 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:17.220 'cause I don't have my measurement tools and this was just an unboxing. Yeah, it's not as clear as the 240, that's for sure. 00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:20.950 This is of course, a more immersive experience with the larger screen and the curve, 00:10:20.950 --> 00:10:25.030 provided you have a game that really supports it. Ideally your HUD would be closer in 00:10:25.030 --> 00:10:28.250 like they have it in "Destiny." As someone who's not competitive, 00:10:28.250 --> 00:10:32.290 I actually probably would take this Oh, I want this gun. 00:10:32.290 --> 00:10:37.060 Yes, best gun in the game. Best gun in the game. - [David] hold down. 00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:40.060 - [James] Best gun in the-- - [David] Yeah. - Well, that's how you use it. 00:10:40.060 --> 00:10:44.440 - [David] Yeah. - Dave's getting mad watching me. Look how much money I have now. 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:49.320 With all that I could buy one of each of these. And maybe I should, because I can't decide what I want. 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.760 So that's Dell's 2021 lineup that we have for you today. Four different monitors, 00:10:52.760 --> 00:10:56.610 four different price points, four different use cases. If you like these monitor videos, 00:10:56.610 --> 00:11:01.710 check out some of our other videos where we focused on just one monitor in one video. 00:11:01.710 --> 00:11:06.530 Kind of less spread out. Maybe you like those. And if you really wanna deep dive, head over to our sister channel, Linus Tech Tips, 00:11:06.530 --> 00:11:08.153 where we go deeper.
