WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.040
a lot of Esports monitors are kind of stuck in the past that's why Sony

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

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:20.480
monitor that has a bunch of cool Pro features and can shrink down to a nice

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:23.039
24 1/2 in size for those of you major

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

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:31.199
something I'm actually really keen on they partnered with fanatic to try to

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:35.280
make something that's uh just perfect for Esports we'll we'll see why later

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

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

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:49.480
but it's also got measurements so you can actually tick off where exactly you

00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:53.840
like all right let's find our actual panel here we've got a really small

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

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:06.760
DisplayPort cable uh one cool feature is that it is DisplayPort 2.1 it's only

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.520
uh br10 um I would love to see full fat

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

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

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

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:27.840
handy dandy setup guide shows that you can route some cables through the stand

00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:31.720
that's nice and it looks like a color accuracy report looks relatively good

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

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:40.479
gamma curve and a grayscale tracking so I would have liked to see some kind of

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:43.880
Delta e2000 color accuracy report but whatever we'll uh we we tested it

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

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:52.240
cover off you can see here why the stand

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

00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:04.039
problem you can get right up close it's got tons of maneuverability it's

00:02:00.119 --> 00:02:06.799
actually got 360°

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

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

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

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.640
right round baby uh the only thing is it

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

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

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.599
from now you're still using it and something even crazier we got we got

00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:40.159
thousand Herz monitors now you want to turn this into like a little side

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

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

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:54.000
of the electronics controls and stuff it's actually pretty nice they've also

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:58.080
got a multi-layer thermal cooling solution this thing can do 1,300 nits

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

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:06.440
surprising amount of tilt up if you really wanted to I typically just kind

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:10.599
of keep mine basically flat or maybe tilted down if they're a little higher

00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:14.440
up I'm also surprised I thought for sure just based on pictures that this would

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:18.920
be either like really back or front heavy but it's pretty solid honestly I

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.040
don't think anyone's going to like knock this over as for buttons and whatnot

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.280
we've got a nice power button dedicated power button and then what appears to be

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:30.640
yep navigation nipple or nubbin on the back this is actually probably my

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.680
favorite combination I don't like when the navigation nipples is also the power

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

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:43.000
usbb two HDMI inputs One DisplayPort

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:47.080
and then we've got our power and an extra usba that I actually like how

00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:50.560
they've labeled this it is specifically for updates so the whole shell looks

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

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.840
got it all fired up looks pretty good

00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:02.519
let's make sure it's actually set to what we wanted to $479.99 baby

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

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:12.200
with the beauty of OLED is that it looks incredible in HDR Windows not so much

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

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

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

00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:33.960
competitively gaming let's get this in here oh yeah and and then check this out

00:04:31.039 --> 00:04:39.240
keyboard fits right over top let's play some

00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:40.840
CS2 the nice thing about 1440p at 27 in

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:11.520
highly recommend changing the size of the screen outside

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

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:18.560
weird issues um but this honestly looks pretty

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

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

00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:34.120
display so we're talking about lightning fast pixel response times I think they

00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:41.120
advertise something like 0.03 millisecond grade a gray um you've got

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:44.039
480 HZ so uh everything is going to be

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:48.680
fed to you at a very quick rate to the point where like Clarity motion Clarity

00:05:46.520 --> 00:05:51.560
especially along with those near instant pixel response times it's just perfect

00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:57.080
like you flick your mouse and your screen just looks great um it's also got

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

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:03.720
monitor at this price point which we'll talk about in a little bit you're

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:06.720
probably going to be using a pretty big graphics card alongside it and I don't

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

00:06:11.880 --> 00:06:17.720
Herz uh or 120 FPS range most of the

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

00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:26.160
some reason maybe it's the contrast and you just want to boost everything you

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

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:33.919
on a simulated LC CD before you get wrecked in the next CS2 tournament

00:06:32.599 --> 00:06:37.759
everything's just kind of boosted there's not a lot of contrast if you're

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:42.319
playing fpss and you want to see in every dark shadowed area this is

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

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

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:55.319
ratio with those perfectly deep blacks especially with a 1300 it's Peak

00:06:53.400 --> 00:07:02.280
brightness rating that's strong let's try FPS Pro Plus uh this mode should

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.240
highlight enemies or outline them okay we're playing Halo now where G where

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.560
enemies actually have outlines to them unlike counter- strike and uh we've got

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

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:19.919
outlined they are and from a competitive standpoint okay sure I get it that's

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

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

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

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

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

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:48.159
say it when you finally get to try OLED

00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:50.599
with a high refresh rate and HDR content

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:55.599
it just looks incredible you have such massive contrast your scenes look

00:07:53.240 --> 00:08:00.879
perfectly highlighted where every pixel is a dimming Zone um it's nice and sharp

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

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

00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:16.080
maybe 540 if you overclock them and that's about it right now so okay the

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:21.000
gaming looks great but what if you're using this for more than just Esports

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

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.319
there's a huge Plus in that being a nice

00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:33.120
new OLED display with micr lens array plus the HDR experience for whether

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:38.880
you're watching Youtube with HDR or movies or honestly most modern AAA games

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:43.919
it's going to be really good it just looks so Crystal Clear it looks very

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

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.240
experience I feel like a lot of people try HDR with a bad Monitor and they

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

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

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:06.959
get that real experience and you'll kind of just click with HDR once you actually

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:10.959
experience really good HDR I find it hard to go back one great feature that

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

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:18.240
display HDR Cinema game check your brightness stabilizer you know change

00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:21.600
brightness and contrast everything through nice little sliders okay setting

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

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:29.839
with contrast and HDR that's fine those are usually set to pretty rigid

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:33.000
standards anyway but if you're an you can do just about whatever you want

00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.360
change the gamma curve crank the sharpness down I don't know why you'd

00:09:34.760 --> 00:09:41.240
want to but you could brightness right here boom it takes a second to like

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:48.200
think about it and make the changes but it does the OSD itself with a navigation

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:50.120
nipple is perfectly serviceable for

00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:56.000
whatever reason say your computer isn't running and you want to change modes on

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.320
the OSD that's totally fine uh pretty

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

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.320
selection um they have a lot of options for you in terms of testing results it

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:09.880
ended up being pretty good and essentially hit all of what they

00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:14.000
actually stayed on the box we got about 12296 nits of Max brightness which is

00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:19.399
basically right on the money for their 1300 nits claim as for color accuracy

00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:27.800
and SDR mode we measured a very impressive Delta e2000 average of 64

00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:29.560
with a Max of just 1.27 as for HDR hlg

00:10:27.800 --> 00:10:36.160
our best measurements were done in in cinema mode where we measured an average

00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:38.839
Delta e ITP of just 11.24 with a Max of

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

00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:48.120
it's an OLED it's 480 HZ we're measuring

00:10:45.880 --> 00:10:52.040
just a bit over the theoretical perfect and then when it comes to end to end

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:55.399
it's barely adding anything so you're just going to have a really solid gaming

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

00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:04.720
when you're trying to interface with the display the real question is how much

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.360
does it cost well it's not cheap it's

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:11.800
$1,100 however if you basically want the best of the best plus all of these super

00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:17.000
cool Pro features and this really Sleek stand that can do a 360° swivel that I

00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:22.399
haven't seen on like any other high-end display at least not nothing recent this

00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:26.000
is kind of it and if you're willing to pay for it I think it's a pretty solid

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.800
buy thanks so much to Sony for sponsoring this video if you want to

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:32.760
check out a video with another product of theirs we've got the M9 that we

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:37.200
looked at last year and if you want this guy you can pick it up at the link in

00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.200
the description below
