WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.920
screen space missing there's been a lot of new monitor Trends the LG Ergo duel

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

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:23.599
finally hitting its stride but I'm a sucker for weird resolutions I don't

00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:26.800
want your 32 by9 Ultra wide I want this

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:31.519
thing which is I don't even know it's 16

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:34.079
by 16 by 18 so it's the LG dual up

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

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:43.320
there's only one display but it's two

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.960
1440p monitors basically stacked

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

00:00:49.559 --> 00:00:55.960
box uh we've got cables this is an allen

00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:00.399
key or a also a Phillips on one end power brick

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

00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:10.240
okay yeah this thing is heavy oh my God

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.560
here it is what is this thing it's the

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.080
Twitter monitor the Twitter monitor yeah no for real though this is great for

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:42.200
it's probably somewhere around there so this thing can actually it can actually

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

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

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

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

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:03.479
a USB Upstream we've got usba a we've

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:08.319
got uh DPN uh

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:10.840
usbb uh two HDMI ports DC and headphones

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.879
so pretty standard for most monitors these days so this thing's pretty great

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

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

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

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:36.000
the opposite sorry ohow can you rot oh

00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:39.000
my God so if you

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.120
really if you really don't want to go

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

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.680
by 16 18 by

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.319
16 uh we're going to go with the way LG

00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:57.319
intended so I'm going to use these new LTT cable ties we made new packaging

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:03.200
look super eco-friendly these are really nice I love the color and the the foam

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:08.000
feels better like it feels softer but like still sturdy I'm going to plug this

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

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

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:21.040
down so look my power brick is just hanging here right and that's not good

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:27.519
so what they've got is they've got these Barrel plug extensions so you can

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:32.519
actually go out of

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:35.360
here into here wow into here and then

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:39.439
once this is fed through properly look at that it's flat now with all this

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:43.920
extra slack I have had way too many Power Bars not necessarily resting the

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:48.439
way they're supposed to simply because I don't have enough length and then this

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.799
cic's Focus plus 750 wat gold power supply is a good choice for mid-range

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:19.639
systems at a great price it features an 80 plus gold ratings you get 90% power

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:23.600
efficiency at 50% system load it's fully modular and features hybrid fan

00:04:21.239 --> 00:04:27.759
management to control overall fan noise and fluid Dynamic fan bearings it comes

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:32.320
with a 10-year warranty that's how confident cic is learn more about them

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:35.639
at cc.com or through the links we'll have below Okay so we've noticed

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

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.960
is an engineering sample and stuff can

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

00:04:47.479 --> 00:04:53.960
pixel flickering or something going along the entire panel uh we don't know

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

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

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:07.840
just fine got our LG SD QHD it's got

00:05:04.039 --> 00:05:09.560
It's running at 2560 by 2880 UH 60 HZ

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

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

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.240
Mac there's a USB-C Port let me go my

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

00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:32.440
hdr10 which is mediocre hits about 300 nits of brightness it can cover like 98

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

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

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:43.800
some weird flickering or something going on maybe the panel just had to warm up I

00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:48.560
don't know it stopped doing it jonno hit the monitor a few

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:50.919
times cuz it's not a high DPI screen

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

00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:59.120
you want native scaling to look decent oh it's HDR look at the space between

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

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

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

00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:16.680
distance sometimes so I can see the rest of the song and whatnot so with game

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.520
development if you take an engine like Unity or something or or Unreal Engine

00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:25.479
four or five you can move all of this stuff so you can change everything

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:30.039
constantly if you need a big like asset window here and then your scene window

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

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:37.680
your inspector window over here this is great see this guy might like it cuz you

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:42.680
can turn it hey you can turn it sideways this monitor might be better sideways

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

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:51.080
aspect ratio this Square having this

00:06:48.039 --> 00:06:54.960
Honker bezel on one end I think is

00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:57.520
not because this screen really works

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:00.639
well in either orientation and this just kind of implies like you're doing it

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:04.240
wrong so you can really make them thick and you can have like really thick audio

00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:09.440
now well and then I could bring this down what if you were editing a

00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:12.919
vertically shot video though like a YouTube short or something right that's

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

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:22.879
do all of your yeah and then the bottom half is just timeline top half media

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:27.400
yeah nice there's no mention of like a factory calibration in terms of color

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

00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:35.800
probably get it pretty close it looks fine I actually really like this I mean

00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:41.800
obviously this is a terrible situation cuz we've got these giant black bars it

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

00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:50.879
1440p videos basically uh but I mean

00:07:47.919 --> 00:07:55.080
that is partly just because of YouTube if we had like VLC or something going up

00:07:53.360 --> 00:08:00.319
with two full videos you could probably stretch it so that it basically does two

00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:02.639
full 1440p images yeah this thing looks

00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:07.680
awesome this like the ultimate Instagram reels or like YouTube shorts content

00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:13.520
consume consumption monitor all right let's try game on this thing oh check it

00:08:09.479 --> 00:08:15.960
out native 2560 by 2880 8 by9 I like how

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

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

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

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:37.599
work in an office and you have to do Photoshop stuff or whatever but like for

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:40.599
gaming no this is

00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:43.320
bad I think this will feel a lot better

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

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

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

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

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:08.800
purposes and use cases gaming isn't necessarily a strong suit but you're not

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

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:21.360
problem actually yeah this is actually be great for something like Civilization

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:23.760
or uh another 4X game um RTS maybe

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:26.360
actually could be good for rtss anything where you need like a lot of screen

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

00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:35.920
G dual up pretty much everyone who's walked by uh while we were filming wants

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:40.040
this thing they all you know not everyone's like oh this is the best mod

00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.160
I've ever seen but it's interesting to basically everyone and everyone had a

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.760
different kind of use case that they wanted it for which was pretty

00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:50.959
interesting as well if you enjoyed this video check out some of our other short

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

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
