1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,440
now this isn't my first kick at the 5K

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:09,080
can I actually spent well over a month

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:13,679
with the 5K retina iMac and while I did at one point install Windows on the Mac

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:18,160
using boot camp thanks to the imac's let's say lack of upgradeability there

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,800
were some experiences that I couldn't properly evaluate the first time around

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:28,080
the most important of which being game performance on Enthusiast grade Hardware

7
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:35,480
at 5K something that won't be an issue in today's video about the Del

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,840
up2715k monitor the 5K display you may

9
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:46,979
plug in in any way as long as you can afford to pay sounds okay let's get

10
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,399
started Corsair h80i GT and h100i GTX

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Allin one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your PC

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,680
click my face now to learn more we'll

13
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,119
start with the physical overview it comes packed in an environmentally

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:14,759
conscious cardboard packaging with the panel the stand and a metric wack ton of

15
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,159
cables two mini DP to DP two DP to DP

16
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:23,960
One Mini DP although that's 4K only more on that later and one USB 3 A2B also a

17
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,040
power cable assembly is simple just click the confidence inspiringly

18
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:31,880
well-built metal stand onto the back of the monitor where you'll also find the

19
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:36,240
option to use a standard vase amount if you want and then you're good to go good

20
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,759
to go with what you might ask good question let's do the physical tour and

21
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:47,320
spec stuff now starting at the front the up2715k is a 27in 16x9 aspect ratio

22
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:54,960
display that runs at the otherworldly resolution of 5120 by 2880 the 218 pixel

23
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:59,159
per inch IPS panel sits behind an edgo edge sheet of glass that helps distract

24
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:04,320
from the monitor's relatively large bezels in a world where the Mantra seems

25
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,719
to be Slimmer is better but then I doubt most folks will be distracted by the

26
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:13,959
bezels when they've got that screen to look at it boasts a contrast ratio of

27
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:17,680
1,000 to1 100% srgb color space coverage

28
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:20,400
and 99% Adobe RGB coverage with a true

29
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,120
10bit panel and a 12-bit 3D lookup table to back it up oh and on top of all that

30
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:31,840
it features the full gamut of adjustments tilt height swivel and autor

31
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,840
rotating pivot hm

32
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,879
moving to the left we find a Harmon Carden logo that by itself is completely

33
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,720
meaningless but combined with the surprisingly decent onboard speakers

34
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,519
built into the bottom of the display impressed me then further around an SD

35
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:51,400
card reader whose type is not specified in spite of the amusing amount of detail

36
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:56,000
in the Dell manual about completely irrelevant things like the pinouts of

37
00:02:53,080 --> 00:03:00,519
DisplayPort and USB 3 ports but I have to assume it's SDXC since they do say

38
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,319
it'll handle up to 1 tbte car cards either way it's a welcome addition which

39
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:10,319
brings us around to the back where there are some simple things like the charging

40
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,280
only USB port here on its own power in

41
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:18,080
the Uplink and four data usb3 ports one with a bit more clearance for larger

42
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:19,959
connectors and a very unusual input

43
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,640
configuration the first thing you'll likely notice is the absence of anything

44
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,959
but DisplayPort ports with the next probably being the weird color coding on

45
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:33,519
one of the full-size ones here's how this works if you're insane or just

46
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:38,840
doing it temporarily I guess then you can plug a single DP cable into the big

47
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:43,640
blue port or the mini one but you'll be limited to 4K 60 htz hence the insanity

48
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,640
if that's your long-term plan for this monitor if you value your money at all

49
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,720
and you realize that if you'd wanted to run 4K you'd have been better served by

50
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:57,159
a native 4K display then you're going to want to plug two DisplayPort 1.2

51
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:02,400
compatible ports off your AMD NVIDIA or Intel graphics card into both of the

52
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:07,040
fullsize ports make sure you've got the latest drivers with 5K support and

53
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:12,599
you're going to be ready to rock my GTX 980 SL test bench required no extra

54
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:17,400
configuration plug-and play Baby which I legitimately wasn't expecting my early

55
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:21,239
experiences with tiled displays uh you may have guessed by now that there are

56
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,960
effectively two separate monitors in here with two side by-side tiles since

57
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:30,320
unlike Apple Dell couldn't create their own ton and display interface since it

58
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:37,039
had to work with standard video card was not too positive with the up2715k

59
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,360
other than an occasional half width bio screen and longer than normal delay when

60
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:47,360
all tabbing out of applications I didn't notice any issues yay but at this price

61
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,280
not noticing issues isn't good enough it has to knock your socks off I'll start

62
00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:55,759
by saying I was pretty impressed by the onscreen menu lots of modes including a

63
00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,160
low Blue Light reading mode and adjustments including six axis color

64
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:03,880
sliders for the custom calibration mode although if the included calibration

65
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,160
report is anything to go by most people likely won't need them since my monitor

66
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,560
managed Delta ease of less than two pretty much across the board indicating

67
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:14,360
excellent color accuracy and I didn't notice any backlight bleed either which

68
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:19,840
was pretty nice and while I was disappointed that Dynamic contrast ratio

69
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,639
cannot be turned off the built-in dead pixel Checker absolutely blew me away I

70
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,400
noticed while I was digging around in there that the only options for Pixel

71
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,759
response time are normal and fast although I couldn't tell the difference

72
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:37,160
between them at all anyway but I actually don't mind that for a couple of

73
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:41,280
reasons first I never really recommend cranking overdrive since I personally

74
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:45,280
find the artifacts on the Leading Edge much more distracting than motion blur

75
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:49,880
behind a moving object and second because the motion blur on this monitor

76
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,360
is surprisingly good for an IPS monitor and while I couldn't test input leg

77
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:58,919
since my tester relies on HDMI the gaming experience as far as

78
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,560
either of those things are concerned is great mate

79
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:09,599
but what about trying to game at that 5K resolution Linus well great question one

80
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,160
word wrecked actually okay not quite that bad it's it's not that bad but

81
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:18,840
forget about running games at Max details Tomb Raider 2013 was run at

82
00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:24,520
Ultra with no motion blur ultimate with tress F was a stuttery mess Crisis 3

83
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:30,160
managed very high textures and medium settings across the board and Shadow of

84
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,840
Mordor did okay at very high without

85
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,240
motion blur and at medium textures it should be noted that in all of these

86
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,360
games I turned antialiasing off manually if it wasn't already for two reasons

87
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:48,280
number one are you insane my 980s were already suffering and number two is that

88
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:54,240
while at 4K I like two times anti-aliasing at 5K I really don't see

89
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,840
the point at all I seriously cannot tell the difference and I guess the word

90
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:04,199
seriously is a great segue into this conclusion this monitor is a serious

91
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:08,120
piece of gear for serious users at least the ones who are serious about accepting

92
00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:13,759
the limitations of it that come along with its astonishingly sharp pixel

93
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:19,440
density at 32 in on the Acer

94
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:22,240
b326hk I found 4K barely usable but

95
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:29,639
usable without scaling so you will need scaling on this one 150% was borderline

96
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:32,199
and 200% was great for me and in Windows

97
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:36,560
I feel like that single-handedly defeats the purpose of the upgrade in the old

98
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:42,080
days we upgraded monitors to get more pixels to put stuff on it made our

99
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,360
virtual workspaces bigger but with 200%

100
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:51,080
scaling there is no advantage in this regard over a 1440p 27in monitor so when

101
00:07:48,599 --> 00:07:57,720
steam's game list looks like it's full of you know titles about 144k Warfare it

102
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,440
feels like a bit of a poor investment for such a steep asking price when you

103
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,319
consider that Apple includes a computer in the package for a few hundred more

104
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:11,000
bucks if you're willing to give up some flexibility in terms of upgrades and

105
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:15,560
that by the time scaling is pretty much fixed across the board maybe another

106
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:21,159
couple of years much more affordable options will be available so this one

107
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:26,599
professionals only need apply which can't necessarily be said

108
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:32,200
about Squarespace Squarespace is the website creation and hosting tool that

Squarespace for the year their whole concept is websites should be beautiful

114
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:57,240
and look great on any device so they have like a responsive design philosophy

115
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:02,519
which means your website's going to scale on something like this or on

116
00:09:00,079 --> 00:09:06,839
something like I got to get this out of my pocket or this uh they've got a

117
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:11,399
variety of different templates so every website comes with an available online

118
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:16,120
store module it's great for things like a Blog it's great for things like a

119
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,079
portfolio they've got uh you can start a trial with no credit card required and

120

123
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:35,920
with the platform form before you have to commit so I think that's pretty much

124
00:09:33,959 --> 00:09:39,760
