1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,040
it doesn't look right it doesn't feel right I feel like I've got all the

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,920
screen space missing there's been a lot of new monitor Trends the LG Ergo duel

3
00:00:08,719 --> 00:00:15,519
was kind of fun we've got the QD OLED stuff coming out we've got mini LED

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:23,599
finally hitting its stride but I'm a sucker for weird resolutions I don't

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:26,800
want your 32 by9 Ultra wide I want this

6
00:00:23,599 --> 00:00:31,519
thing which is I don't even know it's 16

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:34,079
by 16 by 18 so it's the LG dual up

8
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:40,000
monitor Ergo it's using a similar stand as the LG Ergo dual um except this time

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:43,320
there's only one display but it's two

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,960
1440p monitors basically stacked

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:53,280
together but it's a single panel so it's an editor's dream so this is a a huge

12
00:00:49,559 --> 00:00:55,960
box uh we've got cables this is an allen

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,399
key or a also a Phillips on one end power brick

14
00:00:57,519 --> 00:01:06,560
stuff that's a big Power this is a yeah this is actually pretty beefy here it is

15
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:10,240
okay yeah this thing is heavy oh my God

16
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,560
here it is what is this thing it's the

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,080
Twitter monitor the Twitter monitor yeah no for real though this is great for

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,640
like any kind of Doom scrolling like if you just sit in your bed or not even in

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,759
your bed but if you sit in your chair like I do near the end of the night where you're kind of like this and

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,920
you're just scrolling ever like forever I'm right-handed but I'm kind of busy

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:33,200
we're not going wide anymore we're going tall this guy is on like you can move

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:38,079
this up and down and then you can fine tune here on the rubber uh with this so

23
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,200
it's probably somewhere around there so this thing can actually it can actually

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:47,280
fit quite a few desks anyway the real star of a show is this amazing panel I

25
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:50,680
still can't get over this thing I love it I yeah honestly maybe I'll add a

26
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:55,560
third monitor to my desk and it'll be this guy it just Clips in the same way

27
00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:00,280
most not all but a lot of monitors do with the two clips on the top we've got

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,479
a USB Upstream we've got usba a we've

29
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:08,319
got uh DPN uh

30
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:10,840
usbb uh two HDMI ports DC and headphones

31
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:13,879
so pretty standard for most monitors these days so this thing's pretty great

32
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,599
on the stand you've got a lot of movement uh ton of rotation it can go

33
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:22,160
like all the way over here if you want and then you can kind of Center it back into your desk uh and then on top of

34
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:31,720
that there's just a ton of play like we can tilt and we can pin we can swivel or

35
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:36,000
the opposite sorry ohow can you rot oh

36
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:39,000
my God so if you

37
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,120
really if you really don't want to go

38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,680
tall but you still want a weird aspect ratio you can do it you can go wide 18

39
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,680
by 16 18 by

40
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,319
16 uh we're going to go with the way LG

41
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:57,319
intended so I'm going to use these new LTT cable ties we made new packaging

42
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:03,200
look super eco-friendly these are really nice I love the color and the the foam

43
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:08,000
feels better like it feels softer but like still sturdy I'm going to plug this

44
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:13,000
in I'm going to Cable manage ever so slightly with our LTT cable tie so this

45
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:17,640
is a really nice feature um so for example Andy get this if you if you look

46
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,040
down so look my power brick is just hanging here right and that's not good

47
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:27,519
so what they've got is they've got these Barrel plug extensions so you can

48
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:32,519
actually go out of

49
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:35,360
here into here wow into here and then

50
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:39,439
once this is fed through properly look at that it's flat now with all this

51
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,920
extra slack I have had way too many Power Bars not necessarily resting the

52
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:48,439
way they're supposed to simply because I don't have enough length and then this

53
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:53,120
goes on top it's a little finicky sometimes but it's not too bad yeah oh

54
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:58,519
that looks so good it does hey yeah I know oh my God it has speakers and it

55
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:02,439
makes a cool chime when you plug it in I didn't even turn it on I just plugged

56
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:05,519
then this thing's great okay before we do uh actually power it on and take a

57
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:10,640
look at it though we're going to give you a quick word from our sponsor seic

58
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:14,799
cic's Focus plus 750 wat gold power supply is a good choice for mid-range

59
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,639
systems at a great price it features an 80 plus gold ratings you get 90% power

60
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:23,600
efficiency at 50% system load it's fully modular and features hybrid fan

61
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:27,759
management to control overall fan noise and fluid Dynamic fan bearings it comes

62
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:32,320
with a 10-year warranty that's how confident cic is learn more about them

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,639
at cc.com or through the links we'll have below Okay so we've noticed

64
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,720
something kind of weird and it's definitely not our cable and it's definitely not our computer our monitor

65
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,960
is an engineering sample and stuff can

66
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:49,240
happen in shipping and even non-engineering samples you always get some rate of rmas there's a weird like

67
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:53,960
pixel flickering or something going along the entire panel uh we don't know

68
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,520
what's causing it it's got to be the panel because it's not any of our Hardware but it's pretty minor and it's

69
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,039
hard to see on camera so we're going to keep going the rest of the pan works

70
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:07,840
just fine got our LG SD QHD it's got

71
00:05:04,039 --> 00:05:09,560
It's running at 2560 by 2880 UH 60 HZ

72
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:14,960
but I think it can do more than that oh maybe it is only 60 it's it's a work

73
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:20,240
panel it's not for gaming do you like it Jonathan is it great I didn't bring my

74
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:22,240
Mac there's a USB-C Port let me go my

75
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,680
MacBook so in terms of like creating stuff it's not a bad panel it's got

76
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:32,440
hdr10 which is mediocre hits about 300 nits of brightness it can cover like 98

77
00:05:29,479 --> 00:05:35,600
or 99% of the DCI P3 color gamut nothing else is super oh there's so much more

78
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:38,400
Super stuff we need to look into okay so I know we literally just said there's

79
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:43,800
some weird flickering or something going on maybe the panel just had to warm up I

80
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:48,560
don't know it stopped doing it jonno hit the monitor a few

81
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,919
times cuz it's not a high DPI screen

82
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:55,440
this is for Mac users now you can't run it on high DPI so you can only run it if

83
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:59,120
you want native scaling to look decent oh it's HDR look at the space between

84
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,600
that yeah look at all that looks like an iPad I I this is actually I wouldn't

85
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,240
want this for music because I want to go wider than this like don't get me wrong

86
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:11,360
it is nice being able to have that many tracks up but I do want a bit more

87
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,680
distance sometimes so I can see the rest of the song and whatnot so with game

88
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:21,520
development if you take an engine like Unity or something or or Unreal Engine

89
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:25,479
four or five you can move all of this stuff so you can change everything

90
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:30,039
constantly if you need a big like asset window here and then your scene window

91
00:06:27,479 --> 00:06:33,560
here and then like uh I don't know your game objects and stuff there and then

92
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:37,680
your inspector window over here this is great see this guy might like it cuz you

93
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:42,680
can turn it hey you can turn it sideways this monitor might be better sideways

94
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:48,039
okay I have to now you think so that's better I think that's better with an

95
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,080
aspect ratio this Square having this

96
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:54,960
Honker bezel on one end I think is

97
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:57,520
not because this screen really works

98
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,639
well in either orientation and this just kind of implies like you're doing it

99
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,240
wrong so you can really make them thick and you can have like really thick audio

100
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:09,440
now well and then I could bring this down what if you were editing a

101
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:12,919
vertically shot video though like a YouTube short or something right that's

102
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:17,720
a good point you could have your preview monitor on a 16 by9 screen here and then

103
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:22,879
do all of your yeah and then the bottom half is just timeline top half media

104
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:27,400
yeah nice there's no mention of like a factory calibration in terms of color

105
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,800
accuracy but if it does that much of the color space you can tune it yourself and

106
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,800
probably get it pretty close it looks fine I actually really like this I mean

107
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:41,800
obviously this is a terrible situation cuz we've got these giant black bars it

108
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:47,919
looks like we can't do two videos of the same size like top and bottom to do two

109
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:50,879
1440p videos basically uh but I mean

110
00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:55,080
that is partly just because of YouTube if we had like VLC or something going up

111
00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:00,319
with two full videos you could probably stretch it so that it basically does two

112
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,639
full 1440p images yeah this thing looks

113
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:07,680
awesome this like the ultimate Instagram reels or like YouTube shorts content

114
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:13,520
consume consumption monitor all right let's try game on this thing oh check it

115
00:08:09,479 --> 00:08:15,960
out native 2560 by 2880 8 by9 I like how

116
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:21,360
it centers Doom guy so well it's like a portrait like I don't know it's just

117
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:25,720
silly I okay let's try it it doesn't look right it doesn't feel right I feel

118
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:30,280
like I've got all the screen space missing it's great if you like you know

119
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:37,599
work in an office and you have to do Photoshop stuff or whatever but like for

120
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:40,599
gaming no this is

121
00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:43,320
bad I think this will feel a lot better

122
00:08:40,599 --> 00:08:49,320
cuz like it's not portrait anymore who needs 4x3 when you've got 8 by9 okay I

123
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:53,320
still don't like it but it's better it's better it's better it doesn't feel as

124
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:58,440
good as CRTs but it like it reminds me of how they look for viewing content yes

125
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:03,519
for playing games God no this is terrible I I think that it has a lot of

126
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:08,800
purposes and use cases gaming isn't necessarily a strong suit but you're not

127
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:15,399
stuck not gaming I mean you saw Doom handle at a a 16 by8 uh aspect ratio no

128
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:21,360
problem actually yeah this is actually be great for something like Civilization

129
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:23,760
or uh another 4X game um RTS maybe

130
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,360
actually could be good for rtss anything where you need like a lot of screen

131
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:31,519
space and you don't necessarily care about going wide at all so this is the L

132
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,920
G dual up pretty much everyone who's walked by uh while we were filming wants

133
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:40,040
this thing they all you know not everyone's like oh this is the best mod

134
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,160
I've ever seen but it's interesting to basically everyone and everyone had a

135
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,760
different kind of use case that they wanted it for which was pretty

136
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,959
interesting as well if you enjoyed this video check out some of our other short

137
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:55,959
circuits oh we did a tablet PC so hey if you like this aspect ratio check that

138
00:09:53,200 --> 00:10:01,079
thing out because it's it's basically a tablet I love it put it on my desk
