1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,040
a lot of Esports monitors are kind of stuck in the past that's why Sony

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:14,920
sponsored this video so we could unbox their m10s a 480 HZ 27 in 1440p OLED gaming

3
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:20,480
monitor that has a bunch of cool Pro features and can shrink down to a nice

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:23,039
24 1/2 in size for those of you major

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,760
CS2 or valerant Players let's see what's in the box we've got part of the stand

6
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:31,199
something I'm actually really keen on they partnered with fanatic to try to

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,280
make something that's uh just perfect for Esports we'll we'll see why later

8
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:42,160
but it's really small and they have a really thin base so you can put a keyboard on it uh here's the other part

9
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:45,840
the big column column also has oh it's so hard to when there's no weight on it

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,480
but it's also got measurements so you can actually tick off where exactly you

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,840
like all right let's find our actual panel here we've got a really small

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,480
cable here for power so no C13 that's what a C7 or a C8 we've also got a

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:06,760
DisplayPort cable uh one cool feature is that it is DisplayPort 2.1 it's only

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,520
uh br10 um I would love to see full fat

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:14,520
bit rate but you know what the reality is DSC is pretty good um so it should be

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,880
fine for the vast vast majority of you here's the other half of our power nice

17
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:22,880
big power brick so it's not staying in the monitor then finally we've got a

18
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:27,840
handy dandy setup guide shows that you can route some cables through the stand

19
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,720
that's nice and it looks like a color accuracy report looks relatively good

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,079
we'll get into more of what our results are there's actually they just have a

21
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,479
gamma curve and a grayscale tracking so I would have liked to see some kind of

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,880
Delta e2000 color accuracy report but whatever we'll uh we we tested it

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,280
ourselves we'll talk about that later ah here we go oh it's so thin let's get our

24
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,240
cover off you can see here why the stand

25
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,799
is actually so cool look how thin that is you can put a keyboard on that no

26
00:01:54,119 --> 00:02:04,039
problem you can get right up close it's got tons of maneuverability it's

27
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,799
actually got 360°

28
00:02:04,039 --> 00:02:11,039
swivel wow I think that's one of the first times I've ever seen a full 360

29
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:13,879
swivel that isn't like kind of truncated in the way that it'll go like this and

30
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:21,760
it'll go like that but it's kind of stuck somewhere this is a full you can spin that all the way around you spin me

31
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,640
right round baby uh the only thing is it

32
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:28,560
can't pivot don't get me wrong it's a 480 HZ gaming monitor you're not going

33
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:33,280
to want to Pivot it into portrait mode 99 times out of 100 but what if 5 years

34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,599
from now you're still using it and something even crazier we got we got

35
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:40,159
thousand Herz monitors now you want to turn this into like a little side

36
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,599
portrait monitor that's not an option instead you're going to have to sell it get something else cuz uh it's just not

37
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,760
going to Pivot for you look at how thin that panel is and then the box with all

38
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:54,000
of the electronics controls and stuff it's actually pretty nice they've also

39
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:58,080
got a multi-layer thermal cooling solution this thing can do 1,300 nits

40
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:03,319
and it should keep it nice and cool one thing I forgot to mention is the level of tilt it's actually not bad uh

41
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:06,440
surprising amount of tilt up if you really wanted to I typically just kind

42
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,599
of keep mine basically flat or maybe tilted down if they're a little higher

43
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,440
up I'm also surprised I thought for sure just based on pictures that this would

44
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:18,920
be either like really back or front heavy but it's pretty solid honestly I

45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,040
don't think anyone's going to like knock this over as for buttons and whatnot

46
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,280
we've got a nice power button dedicated power button and then what appears to be

47
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,640
yep navigation nipple or nubbin on the back this is actually probably my

48
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,680
favorite combination I don't like when the navigation nipples is also the power

49
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:41,519
button as for I/O we've got a 3 and 12 mm headphone jack couple of usba a ports

50
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:43,000
usbb two HDMI inputs One DisplayPort

51
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:47,080
and then we've got our power and an extra usba that I actually like how

52
00:03:45,239 --> 00:03:50,560
they've labeled this it is specifically for updates so the whole shell looks

53
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:55,360
pretty good but how does it look turned on let's fire it up and take a look we

54
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,840
got it all fired up looks pretty good

55
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,519
let's make sure it's actually set to what we wanted to $479.99 baby

56
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:08,159
10 bit color oh I don't want 10 bit I'm an SDR I want to change this to HDR cuz

57
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:12,200
with the beauty of OLED is that it looks incredible in HDR Windows not so much

58
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:19,359
but as soon as we put content on I promise it'll actually look really good yeah there we go 10 bit baby 27 in is

59
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:25,040
pretty typical for most of you it feels a little bit uh small to me now I'm used

60
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:28,120
to a 32 in so you know we're gaming though we're going to we're we're

61
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:33,960
competitively gaming let's get this in here oh yeah and and then check this out

62
00:04:31,039 --> 00:04:39,240
keyboard fits right over top let's play some

63
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,840
CS2 the nice thing about 1440p at 27 in

64
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:46,720
is that you've got a pretty good pixel density it's about 110 PPI and uh this

65
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,960
thing I'm not in it yet but it should be able to go to a cool 24 and 1/2 in mode

66
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:56,560
so even though I'm this closed now that's too much but when it's down to this that should be like actually pretty

67
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:00,600
okay so let's set it to our 24.5 in oh Center or bottom that's cool

68
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:06,400
so you can have we'll let's see what Center looks like but it's probably right in the middle this is way better I

69
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,520
highly recommend changing the size of the screen outside

70
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,919
of game uh don't do it mid because you're going to end up with some really

71
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,560
weird issues um but this honestly looks pretty

72
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:24,039
cool it's pretty good you got some black bars you can put centered if you wanted to um but I'm pretty happy with it

73
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:29,840
overall and I'm happy with how good the screen looks because it's a 480 HZ OLED

74
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:34,120
display so we're talking about lightning fast pixel response times I think they

75
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:41,120
advertise something like 0.03 millisecond grade a gray um you've got

76
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:44,039
480 HZ so uh everything is going to be

77
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,680
fed to you at a very quick rate to the point where like Clarity motion Clarity

78
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,560
especially along with those near instant pixel response times it's just perfect

79
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:57,080
like you flick your mouse and your screen just looks great um it's also got

80
00:05:54,280 --> 00:06:00,960
g-sync if you want to I think that you know when you're rocking a 480 HZ

81
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,720
monitor at this price point which we'll talk about in a little bit you're

82
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,720
probably going to be using a pretty big graphics card alongside it and I don't

83
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:15,360
know how much you're really going to need adaptive sync cuz you're not really going to be in the like 60 to even 120

84
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,720
Herz uh or 120 FPS range most of the

85
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,639
time I think it's totally fine one thing that's really cool though if you for

86
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:26,160
some reason maybe it's the contrast and you just want to boost everything you

87
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:30,720
love the look of a TN panel you can turn on FPS Pro mode which lets you practice

88
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,919
on a simulated LC CD before you get wrecked in the next CS2 tournament

89
00:06:32,599 --> 00:06:37,759
everything's just kind of boosted there's not a lot of contrast if you're

90
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,319
playing fpss and you want to see in every dark shadowed area this is

91
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,800
probably the mode for you I don't think it looks the best but I love a lot of

92
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,520
contrast it's an OLED panel it should be able to do like a million to1 contrast

93
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:55,319
ratio with those perfectly deep blacks especially with a 1300 it's Peak

94
00:06:53,400 --> 00:07:02,280
brightness rating that's strong let's try FPS Pro Plus uh this mode should

95
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:05,240
highlight enemies or outline them okay we're playing Halo now where G where

96
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,560
enemies actually have outlines to them unlike counter- strike and uh we've got

97
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:16,120
the FPS Pro Plus mode turned on and I've got to say it's very noticeable how

98
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:19,919
outlined they are and from a competitive standpoint okay sure I get it that's

99
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:23,560
going to give you an edge but just from a visual standpoint I'm not a huge fan

100
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,560
but I love immersion I'm not trying to win every time whereas like but but if

101
00:07:26,599 --> 00:07:32,680
that's what you want it's going to help you do that this man can't hit a single

102
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,479
shot no I hit him a bunch of times there what are you talking about sure as for

103
00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:44,080
just gaming on this monitor it looks really good uh I don't know how else to

104
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:48,159
say it when you finally get to try OLED

105
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,599
with a high refresh rate and HDR content

106
00:07:48,159 --> 00:07:55,599
it just looks incredible you have such massive contrast your scenes look

107
00:07:53,240 --> 00:08:00,879
perfectly highlighted where every pixel is a dimming Zone um it's nice and sharp

108
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:08,280
thanks to the decently High PPI for 1440p at 27 in and 480 HZ you're really

109
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:12,240
there's not much that's faster than that there's a couple monitors at 500 and uh

110
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:16,080
maybe 540 if you overclock them and that's about it right now so okay the

111
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:21,000
gaming looks great but what if you're using this for more than just Esports

112
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:26,080
let's check out HDR footage if you do happen to buy this as an Esports monitor

113
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,319
there's a huge Plus in that being a nice

114
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:33,120
new OLED display with micr lens array plus the HDR experience for whether

115
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:38,880
you're watching Youtube with HDR or movies or honestly most modern AAA games

116
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:43,919
it's going to be really good it just looks so Crystal Clear it looks very

117
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,440
color accurate which we'll touch on in a bit here and it's just a fantastic

118
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,240
experience I feel like a lot of people try HDR with a bad Monitor and they

119
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:57,440
don't really get it like ah it looks like weird or bright or whatever not in a good way you've really got to try it

120
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,880
on either a high-end mini LED with a ton of zones or OLED and that's when you'll

121
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:06,959
get that real experience and you'll kind of just click with HDR once you actually

122
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:10,959
experience really good HDR I find it hard to go back one great feature that

123
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:14,720
they've got is their inzone Hub and it's pretty good we got our display settings

124
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:18,240
display HDR Cinema game check your brightness stabilizer you know change

125
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,600
brightness and contrast everything through nice little sliders okay setting

126
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,640
could not be changed I that's oh that's because it's HDR you can't usually mess

127
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,839
with contrast and HDR that's fine those are usually set to pretty rigid

128
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:33,000
standards anyway but if you're an you can do just about whatever you want

129
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:37,360
change the gamma curve crank the sharpness down I don't know why you'd

130
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:41,240
want to but you could brightness right here boom it takes a second to like

131
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:48,200
think about it and make the changes but it does the OSD itself with a navigation

132
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,120
nipple is perfectly serviceable for

133
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:56,000
whatever reason say your computer isn't running and you want to change modes on

134
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:58,320
the OSD that's totally fine uh pretty

135
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,320
simple system you know you just have a list and then you go over and make a

136
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,320
selection um they have a lot of options for you in terms of testing results it

137
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:09,880
ended up being pretty good and essentially hit all of what they

138
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:14,000
actually stayed on the box we got about 12296 nits of Max brightness which is

139
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:19,399
basically right on the money for their 1300 nits claim as for color accuracy

140
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:27,800
and SDR mode we measured a very impressive Delta e2000 average of 64

141
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,560
with a Max of just 1.27 as for HDR hlg

142
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:36,160
our best measurements were done in in cinema mode where we measured an average

143
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:38,839
Delta e ITP of just 11.24 with a Max of

144
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:45,880
27.7 for that's pretty good for Delta eitp finally as for latency it's great

145
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,120
it's an OLED it's 480 HZ we're measuring

146
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:52,040
just a bit over the theoretical perfect and then when it comes to end to end

147
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:55,399
it's barely adding anything so you're just going to have a really solid gaming

148
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,480
experience and there's no way you're going to feel any kind of lag or latency

149
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:04,720
when you're trying to interface with the display the real question is how much

150
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:07,360
does it cost well it's not cheap it's

151
