00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,120
this video is brought to you by the Corsair Vengeance k70 and k95 these

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,960
fully mechanical keyboards are designed for performance gaming visit Corsair.com

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:17,800
Vengeance gaming to learn more now we've all seen those cheap Korean uh

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,160
IPS um greater than HD resolution

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,880
monitors on eBay okay so we're familiar with those they're actually fairly

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,320
inexpensive All Things Considered you know considering that you're getting an

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:32,200
IPS screen that runs at 2560 by 1440

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:37,680
they're usually 27in models but not everyone is comfortable with buying from

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,239
these weird sort of direct from Korea

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:45,200
eBay sellers and not everyone is comfortable knowing that they are

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,360
getting a non-ag grade panel or

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,199
sometimes non A+ grade CU there's a wide

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,680
variety of different grades of LCD panels so not knowing what they're

14
00:00:52,199 --> 00:01:01,039
getting and obviously not having any recourse if there are dead pixels or

15
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:04,280
whatever else so that my friends is

16
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,759
where nixus comes in they have got their

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:11,439
own version of what would be these 27in

18
00:01:08,759 --> 00:01:17,040
uh not quite A+ grade panels but the key difference is that you have a North

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,400
American company to go to assuming you live in North America so you have a

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,240
North American company to go to if there's some kind of a problem and you

21
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:30,600
have someone actually doing like some rudimentary quality control on them as

22
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:35,560
opposed to just going with sort of off the the not quite correct manufacturing

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,159
line and just shipping them out to you so that's nix's value ad here is they're

24
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,240
Q seeing it they're giving you a support contact that you can actually talk to

25
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:51,399
here in North America and they are delivering you an IPS screen that is

26
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:54,840
capable of 2560 by 1440 resolution also

27
00:01:51,399 --> 00:01:57,479
known as uh what was the

28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,640
2.5k and they have also made some modifications to the monitor that make

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:07,159
it a little bit better than the Cheapo ones as well so check this out uh number

30
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,879
one is you have multiple display Imports

31
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:12,200
so HDMI DVI VGA and DisplayPort

32
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,760
although it should be noted that the only two that are capable of displaying

33
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,720
at Full Resolution are going to be DVI and DisplayPort that's dual link DVI

34
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:27,040
not single link DVI single link DVI has only the resolution of HDMI which is not

35
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,959
quite enough they've included all the accessories you need to get it mounted

36
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:35,720
up I think this is the first time I've ever seen um like a mounting ARM that

37
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,959
just Clips onto a standard vase amount on a monitor like this so we're going to

38
00:02:37,239 --> 00:02:45,680
have to go ahead and sort of figure that out I guess I should finish showing you what's on the bottom so other than that

39
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:47,440
there's audio as well as DC power in and

40
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,200
you've got all your ventilation holes on the bottom as well as on the top of the

41
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,000
monitor up here now the front of the monitor this is a 27 in screen so you

42
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:59,840
can expect a little bit of a wider bezel but it's not super wide it is a glossy

43
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:04,920
monitor so it's glossy on the bezel as as well as on the screen itself and all

44
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:08,280
of your on screen menus are controlled by the buttons down here at the bottom

45
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,720
so I'm actually going to throw this together off camera and we'll be back in a moment all the mounting hardware is

46
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:18,360
helpfully labeled so we're going to start with the uh the screw for

47
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:24,120
connecting Monitor and shaft as opposed to the screw for connecting the base and

48
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:26,319
the shaft so we just position this guy

49
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,439
right here over the four holes and then I guess I probably should have opened up

50
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,200
uh this little baggie there we go so those are four Vasa compatible screws

51
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,120
and just go ahead and position those right there you can see that the M the

52
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,560
uh the ARM is height adjust which is really nice to see just because

53
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:49,439
especially with these larger size monitors it's uh it's nice to be able to

54
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:55,439
to move them around to suit sort of your your individual uh viewing style because

55
00:03:52,480 --> 00:04:01,040
they're so heavy and so so large compared to smaller monitors now while

56
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:05,040
this is an LED back model it's still a little bit on the thicker side and

57
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:11,360
heavier side again because of that size and uh yeah because of that size now I

58
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,120
have a lot of people sort of you

59
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:18,720
know Wonder ask me what are the advantages and

60
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,919
disadvantages of uh larger resolution

61
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,680
versus lower resolution and so I would say well there's a couple things so

62
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:29,520
Advantage number one is having that pixel density gives you more clarity to

63
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,320
the image so it is going to look nicer this disadvantage number one is expect

64
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:38,560
to be upgrading your graphics card a lot more often if you are wanting to play at

65
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:42,800
Native resolution which will obviously look a lot better than if you play at

66
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,800
sort of not a native resolution where you'll have that uh that interpolation

67
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:52,320
that you encounter with that you can see there's a bit of uh bit of play there so

68
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:55,919
let's see how sturdy it is once we've actually got it fully attached here so

69
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,880
there it is eight screws to get it set up and you can see I've positioned it on

70
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,880
the included styring so that but it ah

71
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,199
there we go isn't resting on the screen

72
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,440
itself once it's on your desk I guess that it's not too bad actually that's

73
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:18,520
probably not going to bother you so you've got swivel like that little bit of tilt not

74
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:18,520
much tilt little

75
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:25,120
bit oh okay it looks like it clicks into place for some

76
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:28,800
reason oh okay it's just caught on the plastic a little bit so there's the Tilt

77
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,840
go ahead and show you guys what degree of

78
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:37,840
there we go see there's a little plastic piece there that just catches like that

79
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:42,600
not a problem okay and then last but not least you do have height adjust which

80
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:47,600
goes all the way down to here and all the way up to

81
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:50,199
here uh right included accessories so

82
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:56,800
they do have an audio cable uh USB extension cable and finally a dual link

83
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:00,360
DVI cable nice black cable looks pretty slick and there's obviously instructions

84
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:03,560
for all the stuff that we we just did and I think that pretty much wraps it up

85
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:09,919
