00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.440
now this isn't my first kick at the 5K

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:09.080
can I actually spent well over a month

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

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:18.160
using boot camp thanks to the imac's let's say lack of upgradeability there

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.800
were some experiences that I couldn't properly evaluate the first time around

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:28.080
the most important of which being game performance on Enthusiast grade Hardware

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:35.480
at 5K something that won't be an issue in today's video about the Del

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.840
up2715k monitor the 5K display you may

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

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:55.399
started Corsair h80i GT and h100i GTX

00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:01.760
Allin one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your PC

00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:03.680
click my face now to learn more we'll

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:08.119
start with the physical overview it comes packed in an environmentally

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:14.759
conscious cardboard packaging with the panel the stand and a metric wack ton of

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:17.159
cables two mini DP to DP two DP to DP

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

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:28.040
power cable assembly is simple just click the confidence inspiringly

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:31.880
well-built metal stand onto the back of the monitor where you'll also find the

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

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.759
to go with what you might ask good question let's do the physical tour and

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:47.320
spec stuff now starting at the front the up2715k is a 27in 16x9 aspect ratio

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:54.960
display that runs at the otherworldly resolution of 5120 by 2880 the 218 pixel

00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:59.159
per inch IPS panel sits behind an edgo edge sheet of glass that helps distract

00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:04.320
from the monitor's relatively large bezels in a world where the Mantra seems

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:07.719
to be Slimmer is better but then I doubt most folks will be distracted by the

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:13.959
bezels when they've got that screen to look at it boasts a contrast ratio of

00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:17.680
1,000 to1 100% srgb color space coverage

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:20.400
and 99% Adobe RGB coverage with a true

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

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:31.840
it features the full gamut of adjustments tilt height swivel and autor

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.840
rotating pivot hm

00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:37.879
moving to the left we find a Harmon Carden logo that by itself is completely

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:41.720
meaningless but combined with the surprisingly decent onboard speakers

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.519
built into the bottom of the display impressed me then further around an SD

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:51.400
card reader whose type is not specified in spite of the amusing amount of detail

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:56.000
in the Dell manual about completely irrelevant things like the pinouts of

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

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

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:10.319
brings us around to the back where there are some simple things like the charging

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:13.280
only USB port here on its own power in

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:18.080
the Uplink and four data usb3 ports one with a bit more clearance for larger

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.959
connectors and a very unusual input

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:24.640
configuration the first thing you'll likely notice is the absence of anything

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:28.959
but DisplayPort ports with the next probably being the weird color coding on

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

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:38.840
doing it temporarily I guess then you can plug a single DP cable into the big

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

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

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

00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:57.159
a native 4K display then you're going to want to plug two DisplayPort 1.2

00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:02.400
compatible ports off your AMD NVIDIA or Intel graphics card into both of the

00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:07.040
fullsize ports make sure you've got the latest drivers with 5K support and

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

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:17.400
configuration plug-and play Baby which I legitimately wasn't expecting my early

00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:21.239
experiences with tiled displays uh you may have guessed by now that there are

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:25.960
effectively two separate monitors in here with two side by-side tiles since

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:30.320
unlike Apple Dell couldn't create their own ton and display interface since it

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:37.039
had to work with standard video card was not too positive with the up2715k

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:41.360
other than an occasional half width bio screen and longer than normal delay when

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:47.360
all tabbing out of applications I didn't notice any issues yay but at this price

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

00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:55.759
by saying I was pretty impressed by the onscreen menu lots of modes including a

00:04:53.720 --> 00:05:00.160
low Blue Light reading mode and adjustments including six axis color

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.880
sliders for the custom calibration mode although if the included calibration

00:05:01.880 --> 00:05:07.160
report is anything to go by most people likely won't need them since my monitor

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.560
managed Delta ease of less than two pretty much across the board indicating

00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:14.360
excellent color accuracy and I didn't notice any backlight bleed either which

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:19.840
was pretty nice and while I was disappointed that Dynamic contrast ratio

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:24.639
cannot be turned off the built-in dead pixel Checker absolutely blew me away I

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:29.400
noticed while I was digging around in there that the only options for Pixel

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:32.759
response time are normal and fast although I couldn't tell the difference

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:37.160
between them at all anyway but I actually don't mind that for a couple of

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.280
reasons first I never really recommend cranking overdrive since I personally

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:45.280
find the artifacts on the Leading Edge much more distracting than motion blur

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:49.880
behind a moving object and second because the motion blur on this monitor

00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:54.360
is surprisingly good for an IPS monitor and while I couldn't test input leg

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:58.919
since my tester relies on HDMI the gaming experience as far as

00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:02.560
either of those things are concerned is great mate

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:09.599
but what about trying to game at that 5K resolution Linus well great question one

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:13.160
word wrecked actually okay not quite that bad it's it's not that bad but

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:18.840
forget about running games at Max details Tomb Raider 2013 was run at

00:06:16.039 --> 00:06:24.520
Ultra with no motion blur ultimate with tress F was a stuttery mess Crisis 3

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:30.160
managed very high textures and medium settings across the board and Shadow of

00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:32.840
Mordor did okay at very high without

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:37.240
motion blur and at medium textures it should be noted that in all of these

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:42.360
games I turned antialiasing off manually if it wasn't already for two reasons

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:48.280
number one are you insane my 980s were already suffering and number two is that

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:54.240
while at 4K I like two times anti-aliasing at 5K I really don't see

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:58.840
the point at all I seriously cannot tell the difference and I guess the word

00:06:56.440 --> 00:07:04.199
seriously is a great segue into this conclusion this monitor is a serious

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:08.120
piece of gear for serious users at least the ones who are serious about accepting

00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:13.759
the limitations of it that come along with its astonishingly sharp pixel

00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:19.440
density at 32 in on the Acer

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:22.240
b326hk I found 4K barely usable but

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:29.639
usable without scaling so you will need scaling on this one 150% was borderline

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:32.199
and 200% was great for me and in Windows

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:36.560
I feel like that single-handedly defeats the purpose of the upgrade in the old

00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:42.080
days we upgraded monitors to get more pixels to put stuff on it made our

00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:44.360
virtual workspaces bigger but with 200%

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:51.080
scaling there is no advantage in this regard over a 1440p 27in monitor so when

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

00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:02.440
feels like a bit of a poor investment for such a steep asking price when you

00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:06.319
consider that Apple includes a computer in the package for a few hundred more

00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:11.000
bucks if you're willing to give up some flexibility in terms of upgrades and

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:15.560
that by the time scaling is pretty much fixed across the board maybe another

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:21.159
couple of years much more affordable options will be available so this one

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:26.599
professionals only need apply which can't necessarily be said

00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:32.200
about Squarespace Squarespace is the website creation and hosting tool that

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:35.000
is power powerful beautiful and simple

to use they offer 247 support via live chat and email which is great if you're

00:08:37.880 --> 00:08:44.399
one of those not necessarily a professional web designers and they're

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

00:08:51.160 --> 00:08:57.240
and look great on any device so they have like a responsive design philosophy

00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:02.519
which means your website's going to scale on something like this or on

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

00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:11.399
variety of different templates so every website comes with an available online

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

00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:20.079
portfolio they've got uh you can start a trial with no credit card required and

00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:23.000
start building your website now and then when you do decide to sign up for

Squarespace make sure you use offer code Linus to get 10% off your first purchase

00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:30.800
if you do build a trial website you've actually got two weeks to play around

00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:35.920
with the platform form before you have to commit so I think that's pretty much

00:09:33.959 --> 00:09:39.760
