this video is brought to you by the Corsair Vengeance k70 and k95 these

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.960
fully mechanical keyboards are designed for performance gaming visit Corsair.com

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:17.800
Vengeance gaming to learn more now we've all seen those cheap Korean uh

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.160
IPS um greater than HD resolution

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.880
monitors on eBay okay so we're familiar with those they're actually fairly

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.320
inexpensive All Things Considered you know considering that you're getting an

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:32.200
IPS screen that runs at 2560 by 1440

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:37.680
they're usually 27in models but not everyone is comfortable with buying from

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.239
these weird sort of direct from Korea

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:45.200
eBay sellers and not everyone is comfortable knowing that they are

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:48.360
getting a non-ag grade panel or

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.199
sometimes non A+ grade CU there's a wide

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:54.680
variety of different grades of LCD panels so not knowing what they're

00:00:52.199 --> 00:01:01.039
getting and obviously not having any recourse if there are dead pixels or

00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:04.280
whatever else so that my friends is

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:08.759
where nixus comes in they have got their

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:11.439
own version of what would be these 27in

00:01:08.759 --> 00:01:17.040
uh not quite A+ grade panels but the key difference is that you have a North

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:20.400
American company to go to assuming you live in North America so you have a

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.240
North American company to go to if there's some kind of a problem and you

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:30.600
have someone actually doing like some rudimentary quality control on them as

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:35.560
opposed to just going with sort of off the the not quite correct manufacturing

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

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:44.240
Q seeing it they're giving you a support contact that you can actually talk to

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:51.399
here in North America and they are delivering you an IPS screen that is

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:54.840
capable of 2560 by 1440 resolution also

00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:57.479
known as uh what was the

00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:01.640
2.5k and they have also made some modifications to the monitor that make

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

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.879
one is you have multiple display Imports

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.200
so HDMI DVI VGA and DisplayPort

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.760
although it should be noted that the only two that are capable of displaying

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:21.720
at Full Resolution are going to be DVI and DisplayPort that's dual link DVI

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:27.040
not single link DVI single link DVI has only the resolution of HDMI which is not

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:29.959
quite enough they've included all the accessories you need to get it mounted

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

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

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

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:47.440
there's audio as well as DC power in and

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

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

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

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

00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:08.280
of your on screen menus are controlled by the buttons down here at the bottom

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

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:18.360
helpfully labeled so we're going to start with the uh the screw for

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:24.120
connecting Monitor and shaft as opposed to the screw for connecting the base and

00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:26.319
the shaft so we just position this guy

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:30.439
right here over the four holes and then I guess I probably should have opened up

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:35.200
uh this little baggie there we go so those are four Vasa compatible screws

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:39.120
and just go ahead and position those right there you can see that the M the

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.560
uh the ARM is height adjust which is really nice to see just because

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:49.439
especially with these larger size monitors it's uh it's nice to be able to

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:55.439
to move them around to suit sort of your your individual uh viewing style because

00:03:52.480 --> 00:04:01.040
they're so heavy and so so large compared to smaller monitors now while

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

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:11.360
heavier side again because of that size and uh yeah because of that size now I

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:14.120
have a lot of people sort of you

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:18.720
know Wonder ask me what are the advantages and

00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:20.919
disadvantages of uh larger resolution

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.680
versus lower resolution and so I would say well there's a couple things so

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:29.520
Advantage number one is having that pixel density gives you more clarity to

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:33.320
the image so it is going to look nicer this disadvantage number one is expect

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

00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:42.800
Native resolution which will obviously look a lot better than if you play at

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.800
sort of not a native resolution where you'll have that uh that interpolation

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

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

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

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:03.880
the included styring so that but it ah

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.199
there we go isn't resting on the screen

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

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

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.520
much tilt little

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:25.120
bit oh okay it looks like it clicks into place for some

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

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:31.840
go ahead and show you guys what degree of

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:37.840
there we go see there's a little plastic piece there that just catches like that

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:42.600
not a problem okay and then last but not least you do have height adjust which

00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:47.600
goes all the way down to here and all the way up to

00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:50.199
here uh right included accessories so

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:56.800
they do have an audio cable uh USB extension cable and finally a dual link

00:05:53.840 --> 00:06:00.360
DVI cable nice black cable looks pretty slick and there's obviously instructions

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

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:09.919
