WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:10.120
we all know Asus makes great monitors but what if I told you that they sent us

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:11.759
the whole freaking kit and Kaboodle Asus

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:15.000
sponsored this video so we could take a look at their Rog OLED Master kit which

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:20.840
comes with a monitor arm a handy dandy light

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:25.199
bar for those of you cultured folk who like to keep your desk nice and bright

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:34.719
but finally the piece the resistance their PG 32 ucdm the 4K cutie OLED 32 in

00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:36.440
240 HZ this thing is amazing and I want

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.719
to make sure I open it without breaking it it's a thing of beauty what have we

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.800
got in the Box we've got the base of our stand I actually kind of like asus's

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.039
stand this one is huge because it's a 32-in monitor but there you go that's

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:51.280
why we've got the monitor arm you know what I'm not even I'm going to take this

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:55.120
stuff out of the box but I'm not even going to use it today I might click clack the monitor but that's about it

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:59.480
one thing I love about their stand is how Wild and secure their base the

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.920
column base is like look how good this is you just screw it in like the other

00:01:01.239 --> 00:01:07.960
ones but it's got that ring of support got our handy dandy power brick and then

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.960
after that something that they've been doing for a while now uh that I really

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.520
appreciate is their little kind of travel kit that has all of the cables

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.680
and accessories in it I love it when companies do this fantex also does it

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:24.280
with their cases they'll keep like an actual little box for all the screws and

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.320
whatnot as for what we get in here usbb

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.439
usba a cable the rest of our c113 power

00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:34.759
cable three more cables this is too many cables you guys guys uh that's an HDMI

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:37.640
2.1 cable USBC cable because it does 65

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:40.880
WS power delivery 90 WS if you enable it in the menu OSD I don't know why they've

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:45.159
got it as a feature that you have to turn on but it is what it is and then

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:50.320
our handy DisplayPort cable probably just 1.4 that's okay what is this like a

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.159
Vasa adapter or something oh this is probably for the base yeah this is for

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:58.640
the base of the stand you just kind of like pop it down there boom just fits

00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:05.439
real good I won't put it on for now then we've got oh my welcome to the elite

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:11.000
republic of gaming and then stickers I will maybe keep the stickers what's this

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.200
last thing though

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.760
ah this is probably our vesa adapter not

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:21.440
100% sure they're typically kind of different for each monitor but that's my

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:27.040
best guess looks like it pretty much lines up with this guy here and then

00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:33.360
it's beautiful and all I can see is the back but it's all clearly labeled we've

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:35.599
got all of dcn HDMI HDMI DisplayPort

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:42.400
USB like everything is just nicely labeled very easy to read uh super thin

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.159
panel with like a giant graphine heat sink and whatever else they've got in

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:50.120
the control box it's a beautiful monitor I haven't turned it on yet but I kind of

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:53.239
have the same panel at home and I can tell you right now it's really nice I

00:02:51.959 --> 00:02:59.920
changed my mind we are going to give it the old click clack there we

00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:02.440
go this thread here is for whatever you

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.440
want to mount on top of this guy camera perhaps or even just a ring light for

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:10.239
example my monitor at home doesn't have that and so I've just got my webcam like

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:16.360
mounted precariously on the top it looks ugly I can't just easily put a camera up

00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:19.360
here it sucks I love this thing it's

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:22.799
pretty thin really nice we've got a

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:25.879
bunch of stand adjustment oh

00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:27.599
height we can oh more and more people

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:32.200
are going to the column swivel and I'm here for it feels more sturdy one other

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:36.159
really nice feature about this before I talk about the I/O is it's flat for

00:03:34.519 --> 00:03:38.879
those of you who care so that means when I put it down on our handy dandy desk

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:42.400
pad I don't have to worry about putting it back in the box with the curved foam

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:47.640
to make sure I don't put extra pressure on the panel or anything it's just good

00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:50.840
to go it's beautiful we've got DC power

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:53.760
in two HDMI ports probably 2.1 display

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:58.239
port 65 W power delivery it's labeled a 65 Watts here but you should be able to

00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:03.040
change it in the OSD usbb then we've got USB more USB

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.560
a third USB spit if out and a headphone jack another nice feature that I haven't

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:09.519
noticed on other panels there's actually kind of handles on the side here I don't

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.560
think they're meant to be used as handles but for instance I wanted to

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:17.519
rotate this before I put it down and then check out our monitor arm and it

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.199
was really easy to do that I'm always scared about moving these things because

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.320
you know the panel's so flexible but not this time now for the part I'm most

00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:29.560
excited about I've been wanting to mount my monitor on an arm recently I did it

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.560
to my other guy my ultra wide and the other one's just kind of sitting on my

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.759
desk taking up space I don't want that I want to put it on an arm make it look

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.120
real nice so we've got their Ergo monitor arm the

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.080
a01 and uh I don't know anything about it so let's open the box and see if it's

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:49.680
any good we got this adapter plate it looks like everything is as branded Rog

00:04:47.039 --> 00:04:54.280
Republic of Gamers oh oh wow that's heavy oh my God they say it can hold up

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:58.080
to a 39 in Monitor and I believe it cuz this thing is Hefty and if this is going

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:01.320
to be like the counterweight that's kind of sitting on there and clamping to my

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:07.039
desk then uh yeah it's going to be able to take a quite the load here's the main

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:12.759
arm it looks pretty sick actually I love the like giant red spring you can see in

00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:15.120
there I don't know what these uh 25° 729

00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:19.600
3 North I don't know any of that means but it looks cool and I'm here for it

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.919
and I kind of want this monitor arm now not going to lie all right let me get this assembled and we'll be right back

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.880
all right it took a little bit of finagling but it wasn't too bad you know we've got our monitor arm on our desk

00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:35.199
and look at all this range of motion we got it's so good and look at this we can

00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.639
go portrait if we want to we can go all

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:42.319
the way upside down if we want to we're not going to do that at all but we could

00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:46.360
now though what I really want to see is this light bar because you know Andy

00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:50.960
loves his light bar I've seen it Tastefully used in a lot of other

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:54.280
people's setups but I personally don't want a light bar at least not on top of

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:59.880
my monitor so I don't really get it but maybe today's the day maybe today they

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:03.840
convert me Whoop I'm guessing think this is the light I don't

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:09.840
know let's find out what this fancy secret thing is it's probably the mount

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.960
it is that's not so secret oh I don't

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:15.319
know why this is so entertaining it's got like the perfect amount of tension

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:19.680
on a spring with a weight that's got some rubber on the end it's their

00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:22.840
patented clamp and magnetic Buckle so you spin the knob and then this clamp

00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:27.720
opens up the other way and it closes wow okay

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.800
it's pretty cool this is another thing where I'm actually going to have to look at the guide cuz uh never installed a

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.840
light bar before they've got this nice little cut out there for your USBC cable

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:40.759
so that you can power it pretty nifty will cable manage as to the best of our

00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:43.639
abilities it may not be super easy but we'll try now that we've got it plugged

00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:50.400
in we're just going to try to put it on here somewhere uh like this sure that

00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:54.720
seems like it's counter weting enough I'm not super sold on the counterweight

00:06:52.520 --> 00:06:57.360
thing it's got a clamp system on it but the clamp is going to cover a ton of the

00:06:56.039 --> 00:07:02.199
screen and there's nothing back here that it could clamp onto but you know what as long as don't move your monitor

00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:08.879
all that much even if you do like this is fine it's not really going anywhere this

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:12.240
looks okay but I can't really see the light from the light bar too much

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:17.360
because of our studio lights Glenn can you uh C out the lights just for just

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:22.039
for a moment okay we're in our Asus display widget Center Software here to

00:07:19.479 --> 00:07:25.080
adjust our light bar however what I just found out is if you you know scrolling

00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:29.879
through here it's just changing like color temperature and then if I click it

00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:33.680
it's brightness pretty nifty click it again and it's color temp but we can

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.759
change a whole lot right here these are the RGV settings it might be nice if you

00:07:35.400 --> 00:07:40.560
could make the you know front of the light blue or something like that but

00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:44.520
people don't want that I guess I do I'm not sure how sold I am on having a light

00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:47.960
bar in general but being able to control it here is pretty nice being able to

00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.879
change like the color temperature and brightness of your screen light as well

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:55.720
as the Aurora RGB on the back it's pretty handy being able to do it in one

00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.400
single place on my computer so I don't have to touch anything else I just keep

00:07:57.039 --> 00:08:02.400
my hand on the mouse and click click click away there's even an advanced setting that lets you customize it to

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:06.639
use different lighting for different apps and browsers whether you're big on

00:08:04.479 --> 00:08:10.360
light bars or not the anti-reflective coating on the glossy screen is actually

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:14.280
doing a pretty good job you see it on and this reflection is getting diffused

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:20.759
out quite nicely so it's a lot less distracting but what I want to know is

00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:23.520
how good are those 03 millisecond

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:28.039
response times on OLED pixels well they're really good but we're going to

00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:30.680
try it let's play some good old CS2 oh I

00:08:28.039 --> 00:08:35.760
got to say it's there's a reason I bought a monitor similar to this as soon

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:41.279
as they started launching like yeah once you get up to like 360 Herz and higher

00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:47.720
OLED pixel response times are basically perfect especially with the new 480 HZ

00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:50.760
that's out this year but 240 with the

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:54.480
instant pixel response time it's just so

00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:56.880
good 4K as well on a 32in screen it's

00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:00.959
like this is the monitor for me and then the cool thing is I'm not finding any

00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:05.360
terrorists but the cool thing is once you've got this kind of you know on an

00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.160
arm say you want to like kick back and relax you know watch some content you're

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:14.360
good like this but then you want to get into the Zone

00:09:11.079 --> 00:09:18.200
boom now we're gaming this is yeah I

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:22.000
mean I lost but now I'm gaming no matter

00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.480
which OLED monitor you get in 2024

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.560
they're all beautiful like absolutely stunning however one little nice trick

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:33.880
that this does that's it's not doing right now cuz this isn't Dolby Vision footage but it does have Dolby Vision so

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:38.360
if you are going to watch some movies mastered for that content you can watch

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:43.880
it on here and it's going to look great we did whole LTT on DV vers hdr10 plus

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:48.040
and while the difference isn't amazing it's not night and day people could tell

00:09:46.079 --> 00:09:52.880
let's talk about how it tested though when we tried it in user mode it was

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:59.640
actually very color accurate in SDR we measured an average Delta e 2000 of just

00:09:55.640 --> 00:10:02.079
1.06 with a Max of 2.13 super Super

00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:06.120
Color accurate out of the box as for HD color accuracy we measured a Delta ITP

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:13.360
average of about 17.5 and a Max of about 38 40 that might

00:10:10.760 --> 00:10:18.040
seem a little high and it is but Delta ITP is a lot stricter than Delta e2000

00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.320
and for HDR measurements we've been switching to that to try to give you a

00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:26.360
better picture then yep smaller numbers still getting a little smaller and

00:10:23.959 --> 00:10:32.000
finally for brightness we reached our advertised 1,000 nits I think it was

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:34.079
like 990 8 sorry two nits off but it's

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:40.360
just good I don't know how to explain it guys if you want a flat monitor then the

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:44.200
PG 32 ucdm is probably for you it's just

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:45.560
a beautiful beautiful device and uh I

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:50.279
don't know maybe I'll feel some buyers regret when I go home today I'm not sure

00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:54.399
all I know is this looks incredible and I can't wait to just go stare at it some

00:10:51.720 --> 00:11:00.120
more so this has been the Rog OLED Master kit you can get the monitor for

00:10:56.160 --> 00:11:03.160
about 1,300 bucks the light bar is 170

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.639
and then the monitor arm is about $200

00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:09.040
so overall if you want the whole package it's going to cost you a pretty penny

00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:12.240
but uh you know single piece meal maybe you just want the monitor maybe you just

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.800
want the light bar maybe you just want the monitor arm I don't know but

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:19.560
whatever you want we'll have it linked in the description below thank you so

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:25.000
much for watching thank you so much Asus for sponsoring this video and we'll see

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:29.920
you guys in the next one

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.920
bye now I just keep waving for a while
