1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800 When it comes to desk displays, line is partial to 42 inches, I'm partial to 32. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,800 But Samsung made the 37 inch 4K viewfinity 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,840 for anyone who wants something in between. That's right, you wouldn't expect it to be, 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,960 but this is a world's first. 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,480 I'm kinda surprised no one's made a 4K 37 inch monitor yet, 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,480 but you know, Samsung, they did it first. Let's open this up. 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,520 Now to be clear, this is not a gaming monitor. 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,760 It's 60 Hertz, so maybe don't buy it if you're a gamer, 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,080 but I love weirdly sized displays. 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,360 That LG Doola, incredible monitor. You know, it's not for gaming, but it's still sick. 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,600 This is upside down, give me a second. In the box, we've got a bunch of cables, HDMI. 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,080 I'm not saying 2.1 because I don't think it is. Also, there is a DisplayPort on here, it's only 1.2, 13 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,220 but it's not high refresh rate. 14 00:00:57,220 --> 00:01:00,300 Here's our DisplayPort 1.2 cable. 15 00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:05,060 Well, okay, the cable's probably 1.4, but yeah, the port ain't. 16 00:01:05,060 --> 00:01:09,020 And we've got our power because yes, this is not going into a brick, 17 00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:14,540 we're plugging in directly into our monitor. And lastly, we've got a USB-C to C. 18 00:01:14,540 --> 00:01:17,540 Does it say if there's power delivery or anything? I don't see it. 19 00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:20,860 And they've got this in here because of course this being more of an office monitor, 20 00:01:20,860 --> 00:01:25,460 it is a KVM. And we'll get to one of my favorite parts in a little bit 21 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,220 because it's also got another thing that's pretty uncommon when it comes to displays. 22 00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:32,700 Simple user guide, cool. And it works for a lot of monitors 23 00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:37,700 because yep, this is just a pretty standard boy here. And otherwise, we've just got like how to set up. 24 00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,180 This does have a supposedly super easy to set up stand. 25 00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:45,980 I'm gonna get to that shortly here. I think it's tool-less. 26 00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:49,820 And the website, I watched Samsung's promotional video 27 00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:52,920 for this, they say you can do it in five seconds. 28 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,460 I don't know about that, we'll try. Let's try our best. 29 00:01:56,900 --> 00:02:01,980 Here we go. That's the stand. It looks pretty standard to me, standard. 30 00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:05,500 You like that? And then we've got the base of our stand right here. 31 00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,960 Instead of the traditional column and a screw design, 32 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,740 there is a column in the bottom of this one and that's keyed so you slot it in 33 00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:18,300 and then you twist it and then it's done. Probably sturdy enough, but 37 inches 34 00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:25,780 makes me a little nervous. Oh, 37 inches is like basically a TV. 35 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,620 I can't wait to get this on the desk. 36 00:02:32,620 --> 00:02:34,760 But first let's try the five second stand. 37 00:02:37,020 --> 00:02:41,060 The fastest monitor assembly in the Northwest. I ain't never seen anybody do it this quick. 38 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,860 We're gonna go viral with this one. 39 00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:49,820 Done. And then if you wanna take it off, 40 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:55,860 boom. Easier. Easier. Unless someone out there can prove to me 41 00:02:55,860 --> 00:02:59,180 that this is like ultra flimsy and it's a bad design. 42 00:02:59,180 --> 00:03:04,020 I guess maybe, you know, the button sticks out so maybe you press it like you stupidly put this down 43 00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:08,020 on your desk and there's a thing there and it magically just so happens to be in line 44 00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:12,260 to press the button, then it's disturbed and then you move it and then it falls out. Maybe that can happen. 45 00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:18,740 Will it, almost definitely not. But until someone proves that that's a thing, I love this. 46 00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:22,980 This is like kind of amazing. 47 00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:26,380 And I really hope that everyone transitions to this system 48 00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:30,420 because like, man, it's just that easy. Holy shit. 49 00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:35,220 That's five seconds. I couldn't believe it. Well then, you know, I got it and I did it in like two seconds. 50 00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:38,340 So yeah, this thing's awesome. All right, let's get this thing out of the box. 51 00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:44,740 That's what, because you know, we're already so impressed by the stand, which by the way is a nice squared base, 52 00:03:44,740 --> 00:03:48,380 very thin, easy to put stuff on, doesn't really get in the way. 53 00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:51,580 And it's a relatively small footprint 54 00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:53,300 for a display this big. 55 00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:57,860 Oh man, can I, can I do it one-handed? 56 00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:01,900 Yeah. Oh, easy. Easy. 57 00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:07,460 Yeah. You don't need help for this one. Wow. 58 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:13,900 Would you look at this? The back ain't nothing too fancy. It's not a special, just some, you know, boring flat panel. 59 00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:19,740 Yeah. But on the front, we got this majestic 37 inch 4K monster. 60 00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:25,540 Incredible. Let's get this wiped up and then we'll take a quick look at the IO. 61 00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:28,900 We've got our HDMI port, DisplayPort, 62 00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:33,060 USBB, USB-C, Kensington lock, 63 00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:37,860 actually kind of matters since this is meant to be in offices and our power connector. 64 00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:42,020 And on our non-traditional side here, we've got our three USB-A ports 65 00:04:42,020 --> 00:04:46,740 as well as a headphone jack and what I'm really excited about, Ethernet. 66 00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:52,420 And it's gigabit. It's so like well-balanced too, holding it actually feels really easy with one hand. 67 00:04:52,420 --> 00:04:56,500 It's a really minor thing, but when you move a lot of monitors around, like you get to tell them 68 00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:01,220 when they feel really lopsided and stuff. When it comes to adjustability, look at this. 69 00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:07,660 It's actually quite a bit of rotation here. And then it should be able to tilt as well. 70 00:05:09,980 --> 00:05:13,340 And I don't, no pivot. Sorry guys, no pivot. 71 00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:16,100 But I mean, it's a 37-inch panel. 72 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,380 Do you imagine a vertical? That'd actually be crazy, right? 73 00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:22,500 Oh man, like here, I can show you guys. 74 00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:28,660 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, that's good. 75 00:05:28,660 --> 00:05:33,860 Okay, so it's not gonna go vertical, but it does have a ton. And then obviously there's height adjustment. 76 00:05:33,860 --> 00:05:37,420 Honestly, it's pretty sick so far. Let's get it hooked up on the desk over there. 77 00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:40,940 Take a look at some content on it, but not before a word from our sponsor. 78 00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:45,180 Hell yeah, look at this. 4K, 300%? 79 00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:48,220 No, let's see what it looks like at 100% scaling. 80 00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:55,020 Honestly, too small. But, can't get over how much screen space this is. 81 00:05:55,740 --> 00:05:59,100 Hold on, I gotta bring it down. A 42-inch TV is too big. 82 00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:06,300 Just flat out, that's more like this. And that's too much for me. But 37 inches is like, it's enough to have 83 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:11,140 as a really big primary display. And then you could still fit 84 00:06:11,140 --> 00:06:14,620 like a little 27-inch vertical over here. 85 00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:18,700 And I think that would be great. The only problem is obviously it's not really for gaming. 86 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:24,140 So let's take a couple quick looks here at, also it can do HDR, it's not very good. 87 00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:27,140 So we're gonna not worry about that right now. 88 00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:30,740 I really want something this big now. 89 00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:35,780 It was worth it for me to go from a 34-inch ultra-wide to a 32-inch 4K monitor. 90 00:06:35,780 --> 00:06:39,420 But now that I've got this in front of me, I kind of want 37. 91 00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:42,740 I just wish it was like at least 120 Hertz. Let's try gaming on it. 92 00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:45,900 It looks pretty good. I'll get to the actual results in a little bit here, 93 00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,940 but let's try gaming on it real quick. Yeah, that's 60 Hertz. 94 00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:54,740 Hell yeah. You might be able to get away with overclocking in a little bit, but I don't think you're gonna get that much. 95 00:06:54,740 --> 00:06:59,100 Maybe 75, you know, there's a lot of screen tearing. 96 00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:03,660 It's not the best motion pixel response times 97 00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:09,100 I've ever seen. But you know what? If you're at the office and you wanna play 98 00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:14,060 like a quick game of Counter-Strike, or you wanna play a game that's not a first-person shooter, 99 00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:17,060 this thing's awesome. Okay, I will admit, this is pretty bad. 100 00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:20,500 I probably wouldn't play, okay, never mind. Yeah, I wouldn't play Counter-Strike on this. 101 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:25,980 60 Hertz sucks. But there's a lot of more chill games 102 00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:30,380 that only need like 60 Hertz. Like you can play Civ on this thing, no, this is, oh my God. 103 00:07:30,380 --> 00:07:35,020 Oh, this would be amazing for Civ. Oh my God, or like City Skylines or something, 104 00:07:35,020 --> 00:07:38,260 like any kind of big resource, like City Management kind of game. 105 00:07:38,260 --> 00:07:41,420 Oh, this would actually be incredible for that. 106 00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:44,780 Oh yeah, it's rough when I do like a big flick or a pen. 107 00:07:44,780 --> 00:07:49,620 Oh, that's progress though, baby, 37 inch 4K worlds first. 108 00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:53,420 That's what you get. There's gonna be some drawbacks. We know it can game. 109 00:07:53,420 --> 00:07:58,180 We know you can watch content on it. But how about that KVM? That's what I, yeah, gotta try. 110 00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:01,380 I've got my laptop right here. I'm gonna plug it into the port 111 00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:07,020 that's got a bunch of data symbols on it. Actually, can it do power and display out of the same port? 112 00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:11,040 USB Type-C has been connected. Will you automatically switch to it? 113 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,660 No? Okay, that's fine. There's a navigation nubbin on the back here, source. 114 00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:17,740 USB Type-C, we're connected through the right port 115 00:08:17,740 --> 00:08:24,460 because this one doesn't have Ethernet, but this one does. And now I'm getting 90 Watts of power delivery over USB-C 116 00:08:24,460 --> 00:08:29,100 as well as Ethernet. Let's see how good the connection is. Let's do a speed test. See if we actually get gigabit. 117 00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:34,820 This is not looking good for a gigabit. Well, 300 up and down isn't bad. 118 00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:38,980 It's actually pretty good. But there's a bit of an issue. 119 00:08:38,980 --> 00:08:42,820 If you wanna do all of these things, 4K, 120 00:08:42,820 --> 00:08:46,020 90 Watts power delivery, and gigabit Ethernet, 121 00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:49,220 you're not gonna get that. Unfortunately, what you're gonna have to do 122 00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:52,500 if you really need gigabit is you're gonna have to go into the menu, 123 00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:56,220 go into USB-C preference, 124 00:08:56,220 --> 00:09:00,400 and instead of high resolution, you have to change it to high speed data. 125 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,440 That's gonna drop a resolution down to like 1920 by 1280, 126 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,560 whatever my laptop is natively. 127 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,720 But we're gonna retest this. 128 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,360 Look at that, 913 down, 888 up. 129 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,840 That's pretty solid. It is a little annoying that you can't get all of it 130 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,000 in one package at the same time, but you know what, 300 megs is solid 131 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,840 and probably good enough for most people. What's this thing like when it comes to color performance? 132 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,640 Well, with just a few minor settings in SDR, we're measuring a little bit over 133 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,680 a Delta E 2000 average of one. So it's color accurate 134 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:42,600 for just about whatever you're gonna wanna do. Now, when it comes to HDR, not so much. 135 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,440 We're getting a Delta E ITP average of just under 23. 136 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,160 It's a regular edge-lit panel. There's no foot-larray local dimming. I don't recommend this for HDR. 137 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,960 But for office work, I think it's absolutely incredible, especially if you want like a one-monitor solution. 138 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,840 Like this is great for like a hot desk. This is a great size for like grabbing one window 139 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,480 and then putting it to the side and you know, having whatever else you need up. 140 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,280 At around $580, it's a little expensive, 141 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,680 but for office equipment, it's not that bad, especially considering the size 142 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:16,000 and the fact that it's also 4K, it's a KVM, it's got all these extra features. 143 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,680 If this is the monitor for you, you'll probably know and you should definitely consider picking it up. 144 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,760 Thanks for watching, guys. This is the Samsung Viewfinity S8, 145 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,400 the world's first 37-inch 4K monitor. 146 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,520 I'm Ploof, I'm the world's first me. 147 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,800 You're the first one? No!
