so today we'll be unboxing the Samsung 2233 RZ Monitor and what's important
about this monitor 3D Vision okay so
this is the 3D monitor we actually did a tech tips on 3D Vision uh about a
million years ago and you can check it out here click this link if you want to
learn all about 3D vision technology so it says right on the front it's a 22-in
monitor it is 3D ready and in order to
be 3D ready it must operate at 12 Herz
now that has advantages for other users
as well beyond just 3D users because if
your monitor runs at 120 HZ it means
that even with vsync enabled you can still run at 120 frames per second
versus only 60 frames per second on a traditional LCD monitor so I'm actually
opening this because we're going to be doing a 3D Vision demo at our new store
that we're going to be opening shortly so we figured well we're going to need a
monitor in order to demo 3D and right now this is the only one that you can do
it with so first of all we have a quick start guide that's instructing you the
sad angry and happy ways that you can put together your monitor okay so make
sure you do everything the happy way and then we will find a driver DVD I can't
imagine why you could possibly want to install a driver for a monitor um a
flower oh this is for organizing your
cables pretty cool okay then a power cable just your standard computer power
cable and what I thought was the quick setup guide clearly was not because this
is the quick setup guide but we're not going to look at that today okay this is
a dual link DVI cable so the reason you need dual link you can see all the pins
are here you need dual link for this monitor because it runs at 1680 by 1050
which normally would be fine and you can do with single link except that you're
running twice the data rate because you're running at twice the frequency
120 Herz so it's sending information to
the monitor twice as often for fear of
sounding like a broken record okay here is the stand it is shiny and if I point
it this way the cameraman's going to freak out cuz you'll be able to see him
he's gesturing to me to cut that out okay here you will find piece number two
of the stand okay so this is uh pretty
special looking yep right there so I'm guessing this goes in here
yeah just like that awesome okay so then
let's get the monitor itself out I'm assuming this is going to look like a
fairly standard 22in monitor but ooh
okay well hopefully the foam is really
protecting this monitor really well because I dropped it just like is likely
to happen in shipping and so far I don't
see any obvious damage but that won't become apparent until we actually try to
turn it on so there is the monitor
itself that is is one shiny shiny monitor so you can see it has a 20,000
to1 Dynamic contrast ratio it is 3D
Vision ready as I mentioned before and then at the back you see you got your h
four screw holes for the Visa Mount and here's where that flower design seems to
have come from down at the bottom you will find two plugs one for power one
for the dual link DVI connector that will power this bad boy and then let's
put this box down right in the way of
the camera and oh I see how this works so this
piece goes in here and there's an arrow
on okay you know what I'm not going to try and assemble this real time because
I'm probably just going to end up looking stupid but thank you for
checking out my video blog on the 3D
Vision monitor
