00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:16,439
welcome to a very exciting unboxing this is the Samsung sync Master something or

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,600
other s27a

3
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:23,560
850d so Samsung's not real great at

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:28,439
naming their monitors in a way that is like you know dresses it up you know

5
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:30,640
it's like a numeric numbering scheme

6
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:36,120
however if they were going to call this something they would call it the Samsung

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:43,000
display that might actually get lonus to change his monitor that's right so I actually have

8
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:47,800
a 305t plus that I bought way back in the day so 30-in monitor so I'm not

9
00:00:45,559 --> 00:00:51,879
going to be getting a resolution upgrade I'm not going to be getting a size

10
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:58,920
upgrade this is a 27in display with a 2560 by 1440 resolution so yes for you

11
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:03,199
purists out there this is a

12
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,119
16x9 monitor it is not 16 by10 however I

13
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,560
would argue that once you get up to this kind of a size at this kind of a

14
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:17,439
resolution it starts to matter a lot less because you have that outstanding

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,680
vertical space to work with regardless

16
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:23,280
of whether you're using 16x9 or 16x 10

17
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,360
just going to pull all the accessories out here and we're going to proceed with

18
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,759
the unboxing very slim very low profile stand I'm already impressed with that so

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:40,040
why am I so excited about this when I already have a

20
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:45,719
305t and the answer is that this monitor

21
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:47,520
uses a new display technology called PLS

22
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:55,360
so you guys are probably familiar with MVA PVA IPS and

23
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:57,399
TN IPS until now certain kinds of ips

24
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,280
have been the highest quality displays in terms of color reproduction in terms

25
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,320
terms of vibrancy in terms of viewing angle so whether you're looking at it

26
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:12,720
from here or from here from here IPS has delivered the best experience now VA is

27
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:16,000
sort of a a second but not that far away

28
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,920
uh alternative to IPS with the advantage

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,120
of being less expensive and finally TN

30
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:27,640
is fast TN is um fine for gamers who

31
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,400
don't care about the color accuracy and

32
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:35,680
are more concerned with uh less motion blur uh which is often referred to as

33
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:41,440
ghosting but that's a misnomer they're actually different things so less motion

34
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,959
blur um but it does not deliver a very

35
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:49,080
satisfying experience for professionals who are doing video or photo editing or

36
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:55,159
who are concerned about color accuracy in any way at all honestly I'm not a big

37
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,200
TN Advocate um my monitor is a VA panel

38
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:02,200
some of the high-end 30in monitors are IPS panels so whatever that's all

39
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:07,920
neither here nor there at this point in time why am I excited about PLS the

40
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:12,879
reason for that is the first time I saw a PLS

41
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:16,920
display was on the Samsung Galaxy Tab

42
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:19,640
10.1 now the Galaxy Tab 10.1 if you

43
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:27,120
watched my tablet Roundup was what I declared to be hands down the best

44
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:31,120
screen on any tablet yes that includes

45
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,560
the IPS displays on like the ASUS

46
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,360
transformer it includes the IPS display

47
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:43,360
on the iPad 2 which is widely regarded to be an excellent display fantastic

48
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:49,000
display in terms of color oh man this is hard to assemble in midair like

49
00:03:45,799 --> 00:03:52,000
this okay got it in terms of color in

50
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,200
terms of viewing angle just brightness

51
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:01,040
everything just gorgeous great display and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 blew it

52
00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:04,360
out of the water in my opinion so let's

53
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,640
have a look at this Monitor and see sort

54
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:11,760
of the the aesthetic here that I think

55
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,640
is of what I think is going to be one of

56
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:20,400
the most interesting monitors that I have ever unboxed or ever seen in action

57
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,360
so here we go pretty standard pretty professional look this is a business

58
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,400
class monitor so you're not going to find any sort of hint of color like

59
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,639
designs or any of that consumer stuff you got a black bezel you got got your

60
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:37,320
on screen display navigation buttons here there's your menu there's your down

61
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,479
your up your sensor which is cool okay so it does have that sensor on it so

62
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,639
hold on I'm not sure if on this particular monitor it senses whether

63
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:50,000
you're in front of it or not give me a sec I'm going to find out so yes that's what I thought it was

64
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,080
that's the Eco motion sensor which will actually turn the monitor on when you

65
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:58,400
sit in front of it and turn it off when you go away here we have the source

66
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,960
selection and we've got our power so there's not a whole lot of Intrigue

67
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:05,600
there this has a nice finish to it though so you can see this actually has

68
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:08,520
like kind of a brushed look although it's not made of aluminum which is good

69
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:12,280
because as soon as you touch it it would put IR removable fingerprints all over

70
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:16,600
it and then it would look horrible forever all right let's turn it around

71
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,199
and let's have a look at the thinness of the panel so it is Led back lit which is

72
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:26,120
going to improve your power economy as well as improve the profile of it so

73
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:31,639
it's not super thick but this is not sort of a repeat of their 3D monitor

74
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:37,319
which I have out there that's okay you can't really see it from here which is

75
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,240
almost as thin as an iPhone now Samsung

76
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:45,880
has not skimped on the io for this particular panel we have audio in

77
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:49,039
headphones out a usb3 hub yeah yeah 3

78
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,919
usb3 ports there's your USB 3 in so I'm

79
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:58,680
very excited to see that included very much a Next Generation feature here we

80
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,360
have our power in our DVI in 2 DVI in1

81
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,680
so you have dual DV in DisplayPort in having these kinds of input options is

82
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:10,440
outstanding because remember this is a very high resolution panel 2560 x40 that

83
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:18,520
means that it requires a significant amount of processing in order to process

84
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,039
those images on the fly so here let's go

85
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:25,720
ahead and turn it this way so you can see it has portrait

86
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,240
mode it has land Escape mode it I don't

87
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:32,560
know if it y okay so it turns this much

88
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:35,000
and it turns this much okay and we've

89
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,880
also got a height adjustable stand up to here and down to

90
00:06:36,919 --> 00:06:42,680
there let me just see if there's anything that I'm missing here in terms

91
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:46,479
of what Samsung has to say for themselves I haven't gone over the

92
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:50,280
included accessories yet so I'm going to go ahead and oh it says it comes with

93
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:54,680
four usb3 ports well where's the last one then hold on just a minute I don't

94
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,440
see another one okay well we're going to say three for the time being and then

95
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:02,080
perhaps it's four uh it does come with a dual link DVI cable remember you will

96
00:07:00,039 --> 00:07:06,680
need a dual link compatible cable and dual link

97
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:08,280
compatible video card because this is

98
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:13,080
like once again a very high resolution panel it comes with the USB 3 A2B

99
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:17,680
connector that you will need in order to hook up the Monitor and let me just have

100
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:22,400
a look at what else we've got so PLS technology yes PLS like I said I can't

101
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:27,400
emphasize this enough better than anything else out

102
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:31,319
there in my limited experience so far which is limited only because I I was

103
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:38,000
only able to see it in a tablet form factor this is going to be the true acid

104
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:41,160
test for me because this is a full size

105
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,879
monitor with a nice matte screen because

106
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:48,440
remember all those tablets are using glossy screens so I can truly evaluate

107
00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:51,800
it with a matte screen and I can compare

108
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:55,240
it to IPS monitors and VA monitors that

109
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,319
I have used in the past so Samsung's

110
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,159
claim for this particular display which I did write down because I thought it

111
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,840
pretty much SU summarized it was that the new PLS technology delivers picture

112
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:10,000
perfect and natural looking images for more accurate photo editing and more

113
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:15,680
spectacular gaming so yeah I think that's pretty much it I

114
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:20,599
want you guys to stay tuned on my ncixcom channel so that you can have a

115
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,720
look at this thing in action because we are going to fire it up right now I

116
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,440
don't really have the time but I'm going to actually use the thing give you my

117
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,280
Impressions and let you know what I think of this PLS monitor is available a

118
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:35,719
couple of different sizes we have the 27 in here but it is also available in 24

119
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:39,320
in and if you are interested in the specs so the 1,00 to1 dynamic contrast

120
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:44,360
ratio although I have to tell you guys that's very meaningless because uh

121
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:49,000
something with a 30,000 to1 contrast ratio can often not look as good as

122
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:52,600
something with a legitimate 1,000 to1 contrast ratio it just depends on how

123
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:55,560
it's being rated 5 millisecond grade to grade response time which is also

124
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,920
completely meaningless I will play some games on it I'll let you guys know how it goes and that that's pretty much it
