WEBVTT 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. 00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:09.800 But Samsung made the 37 inch 4K viewfinity 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, 00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:17.960 but this is a world's first. 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.480 I'm kinda surprised no one's made a 4K 37 inch monitor yet, 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.480 but you know, Samsung, they did it first. Let's open this up. 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.520 Now to be clear, this is not a gaming monitor. 00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:32.760 It's 60 Hertz, so maybe don't buy it if you're a gamer, 00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:37.080 but I love weirdly sized displays. 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. 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. 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, 00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:56.220 but it's not high refresh rate. 00:00:57.220 --> 00:01:00.300 Here's our DisplayPort 1.2 cable. 00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:05.060 Well, okay, the cable's probably 1.4, but yeah, the port ain't. 00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:09.020 And we've got our power because yes, this is not going into a brick, 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. 00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:17.540 Does it say if there's power delivery or anything? I don't see it. 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, 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 00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:29.220 because it's also got another thing that's pretty uncommon when it comes to displays. 00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:32.700 Simple user guide, cool. And it works for a lot of monitors 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. 00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:41.180 This does have a supposedly super easy to set up stand. 00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:45.980 I'm gonna get to that shortly here. I think it's tool-less. 00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:49.820 And the website, I watched Samsung's promotional video 00:01:49.820 --> 00:01:52.920 for this, they say you can do it in five seconds. 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.460 I don't know about that, we'll try. Let's try our best. 00:01:56.900 --> 00:02:01.980 Here we go. That's the stand. It looks pretty standard to me, standard. 00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:05.500 You like that? And then we've got the base of our stand right here. 00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:08.960 Instead of the traditional column and a screw design, 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 00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:18.300 and then you twist it and then it's done. Probably sturdy enough, but 37 inches 00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:25.780 makes me a little nervous. Oh, 37 inches is like basically a TV. 00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:32.620 I can't wait to get this on the desk. 00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:34.760 But first let's try the five second stand. 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. 00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:43.860 We're gonna go viral with this one. 00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:49.820 Done. And then if you wanna take it off, 00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:55.860 boom. Easier. Easier. Unless someone out there can prove to me 00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:59.180 that this is like ultra flimsy and it's a bad design. 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 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 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. 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. 00:03:19.740 --> 00:03:22.980 This is like kind of amazing. 00:03:22.980 --> 00:03:26.380 And I really hope that everyone transitions to this system 00:03:26.380 --> 00:03:30.420 because like, man, it's just that easy. Holy shit. 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. 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. 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, 00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:48.380 very thin, easy to put stuff on, doesn't really get in the way. 00:03:48.420 --> 00:03:51.580 And it's a relatively small footprint 00:03:51.580 --> 00:03:53.300 for a display this big. 00:03:54.820 --> 00:03:57.860 Oh man, can I, can I do it one-handed? 00:03:59.380 --> 00:04:01.900 Yeah. Oh, easy. Easy. 00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:07.460 Yeah. You don't need help for this one. Wow. 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. 00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:19.740 Yeah. But on the front, we got this majestic 37 inch 4K monster. 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. 00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:28.900 We've got our HDMI port, DisplayPort, 00:04:28.900 --> 00:04:33.060 USBB, USB-C, Kensington lock, 00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:37.860 actually kind of matters since this is meant to be in offices and our power connector. 00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:42.020 And on our non-traditional side here, we've got our three USB-A ports 00:04:42.020 --> 00:04:46.740 as well as a headphone jack and what I'm really excited about, Ethernet. 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. 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 00:04:56.500 --> 00:05:01.220 when they feel really lopsided and stuff. When it comes to adjustability, look at this. 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. 00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:13.340 And I don't, no pivot. Sorry guys, no pivot. 00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:16.100 But I mean, it's a 37-inch panel. 00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:20.380 Do you imagine a vertical? That'd actually be crazy, right? 00:05:20.380 --> 00:05:22.500 Oh man, like here, I can show you guys. 00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:28.660 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, that's good. 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. 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. 00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:40.940 Take a look at some content on it, but not before a word from our sponsor. 00:05:40.940 --> 00:05:45.180 Hell yeah, look at this. 4K, 300%? 00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:48.220 No, let's see what it looks like at 100% scaling. 00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:55.020 Honestly, too small. But, can't get over how much screen space this is. 00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:59.100 Hold on, I gotta bring it down. A 42-inch TV is too big. 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 00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:11.140 as a really big primary display. And then you could still fit 00:06:11.140 --> 00:06:14.620 like a little 27-inch vertical over here. 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. 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. 00:06:24.140 --> 00:06:27.140 So we're gonna not worry about that right now. 00:06:27.140 --> 00:06:30.740 I really want something this big now. 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. 00:06:35.780 --> 00:06:39.420 But now that I've got this in front of me, I kind of want 37. 00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:42.740 I just wish it was like at least 120 Hertz. Let's try gaming on it. 00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:45.900 It looks pretty good. I'll get to the actual results in a little bit here, 00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:48.940 but let's try gaming on it real quick. Yeah, that's 60 Hertz. 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. 00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:59.100 Maybe 75, you know, there's a lot of screen tearing. 00:06:59.100 --> 00:07:03.660 It's not the best motion pixel response times 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 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, 00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:17.060 this thing's awesome. Okay, I will admit, this is pretty bad. 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. 00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:25.980 60 Hertz sucks. But there's a lot of more chill games 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. 00:07:30.380 --> 00:07:35.020 Oh, this would be amazing for Civ. Oh my God, or like City Skylines or something, 00:07:35.020 --> 00:07:38.260 like any kind of big resource, like City Management kind of game. 00:07:38.260 --> 00:07:41.420 Oh, this would actually be incredible for that. 00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.780 Oh yeah, it's rough when I do like a big flick or a pen. 00:07:44.780 --> 00:07:49.620 Oh, that's progress though, baby, 37 inch 4K worlds first. 00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:53.420 That's what you get. There's gonna be some drawbacks. We know it can game. 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. 00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:01.380 I've got my laptop right here. I'm gonna plug it into the port 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? 00:08:07.020 --> 00:08:11.040 USB Type-C has been connected. Will you automatically switch to it? 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.660 No? Okay, that's fine. There's a navigation nubbin on the back here, source. 00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:17.740 USB Type-C, we're connected through the right port 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 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. 00:08:29.100 --> 00:08:34.820 This is not looking good for a gigabit. Well, 300 up and down isn't bad. 00:08:34.820 --> 00:08:38.980 It's actually pretty good. But there's a bit of an issue. 00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:42.820 If you wanna do all of these things, 4K, 00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:46.020 90 Watts power delivery, and gigabit Ethernet, 00:08:46.020 --> 00:08:49.220 you're not gonna get that. Unfortunately, what you're gonna have to do 00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:52.500 if you really need gigabit is you're gonna have to go into the menu, 00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:56.220 go into USB-C preference, 00:08:56.220 --> 00:09:00.400 and instead of high resolution, you have to change it to high speed data. 00:09:00.400 --> 00:09:04.440 That's gonna drop a resolution down to like 1920 by 1280, 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.560 whatever my laptop is natively. 00:09:07.520 --> 00:09:10.720 But we're gonna retest this. 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.360 Look at that, 913 down, 888 up. 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 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:24.000 in one package at the same time, but you know what, 300 megs is solid 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? 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.640 Well, with just a few minor settings in SDR, we're measuring a little bit over 00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:36.680 a Delta E 2000 average of one. So it's color accurate 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. 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.440 We're getting a Delta E ITP average of just under 23. 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. 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. 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 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.480 and then putting it to the side and you know, having whatever else you need up. 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.280 At around $580, it's a little expensive, 00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:11.680 but for office equipment, it's not that bad, especially considering the size 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. 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. 00:10:20.680 --> 00:10:23.760 Thanks for watching, guys. This is the Samsung Viewfinity S8, 00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:27.400 the world's first 37-inch 4K monitor. 00:10:27.400 --> 00:10:29.520 I'm Ploof, I'm the world's first me. 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.800 You're the first one? No!
