1
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:07,279
monitors they're pretty boring but this one is not because it's got a

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:10,880
special button that most other monitors don't have and it's also got a pop-up

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:17,119
doohickey that we're gonna find out more about but i'm not gonna ruin it right now that's a spoiler i

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,440
hate spoilers mandalorian was spoiled for me

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,560
all right now the cool thing about this monitor is that

6
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:28,480
it's got a teams button microsoft teams

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:34,079

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,360
camera with Windows hello so i did spoil

9
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:42,079
it after all i'm sorry i need something to open the box though with and we're not allowed to use knives

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,000
i like that there's a knife right here

11
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:47,039
oh oh okay so it's there but you're not allowed to use it

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:52,879
what do we use these paper clips for come on there it is

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,879
okay down we go

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,800
it's a 34 inch ultra wide is that right jono

15
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:02,960
it is curved uh for better or for worse with a 3800 r

16
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,640
curvature uh which is i guess is pretty typical nowadays

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,960
um i wouldn't get a curved ultra wide monitor just so you know

18
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,640
we got in the box we got a usbc

19
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:18,799
cable a usb 3.0 or 3.1

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,400
gen 1 i think 3.2 gen 1.

21
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:27,680
they're also annoying they're also confusing now features a DisplayPort

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,040
cable i think that's 1.2

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,400
and a power cable okay

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,880
wow there's so many components there's so many compartments

25
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:43,040
what should i start with andy this is oh okay there we go that's the base don't

26
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:50,479

itself take the monitor out and then

i thought you just had to go at your desk and just be like ah

32
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:12,239

5 watt speakers i did um i knew that

42
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:51,200
how am i going to stop myself from just doing this all day when i'm using it

46
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,319

Linus now back to the show the show of

53
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,640
me hooking up a pc to this monitor so

54
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,159
the what oh i'll do that jono

55
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:38,560
you're right i'll do what you say we'll take a bit more of a look at the

56
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,560
physical oh okay so this is one of the so we're

57
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,319
starting right off with a limitation the smaller models are able to do this

58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,000
more i believe the other ones can go all the way

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,640
because it's you know who's gonna who's gonna

60
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,840
pivot a 34-inch monitor vertically okay

61
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,040
let's look at the i o i think i'm gonna have to tilt it back like this andy can you get in there

62
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,360
i should have i should have just done this when i before i attached it

63
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:10,720
okay so we obviously got the power connector we got an HDMI

64
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:16,239
2.0 port i believe we got displayport 1.2 now this is a usb

65
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:20,880
3.2 gen1 port that supports up to 5 gigabits per second

66
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,840
it's also got an rj45 Ethernet um and

67
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:28,320
then on the bottom you kind of have like a more easily accessible usb a

68
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:31,360
connector as well as a 3.5 mil jack and

69
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,040
a another USB-C port it's also got

70
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,199
this handy little teams button on the front that's not something you see every

71
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,919
day and in fact it's the main attraction of

72
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:43,600
this monitor get a close-up on that andy right there got these other buttons boom

73
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,960

duplicate extend this isn't just a monitor that you're plugging in so right

89
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:56,080
now we're only using the display portion of the usbc connection but

90
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:59,280
we're also asking it to use a webcam

91
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:02,960
and mics and to send sound

92
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:05,120
and as a usb hub let's open the camera

93
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,440
so right now it's using the laptop's webcam

94
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,680
yeah does it need like a driver or something let's find out let's take this

95
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:15,360
thing off yeah ready for appeal i set you free webcam

96
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:24,960

00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,960
webcams in disguise sorry i'll stop all

99
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,960

100
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,960
push it

101
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,720
hey there it looks like you're using a team certified device

102
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:49,199
did you know tapping the teams button opens teams that's what i just did

103
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:54,880
let's bring that over here call me on teams

104
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,720

107
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:11,280
no i'm going to plug in the pc instead because

108
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,479
um i want to see whether like how how smart it is at just setting up by itself

109
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,880
without me doing extra work i got a computer down here can you see that andy okay so i'm plugging that into

110
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:24,000
the usbc port and then i'm grabbing the display

111
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000
port

112
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:31,440
does this have teams wait i won't search for it i'll just press the button

113
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,240

114
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:42,000
button for it to like go online and download it teams hello

115

okay now can you hear me check check check

116
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:48,319
what the heck this is probably a huge waste of time yep

117
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:55,039
because i need to download drivers or something all right cancel again

118
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,479
sorry get out of my face jono

119
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:01,440
maybe the reason why it hasn't been working is because there's this little red doohickey on the top

120
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:04,240
uh where the webcam is and i'm supposed to pull that out and maybe once i pull

121
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:07,919
that out it'll magically work let's find out yeah i don't no i don't

122
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:12,800
think you're supposed to pull it i think that's just like the the lens cover that but what i think you

123
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,879
are supposed to do is push oh there it is and webcam and mic

124
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:27,199
enabled i'm gonna peel this off all right call

125
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:30,479
me jono

126
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:31,919
yeah it's supposed to be 1080p 30fps

127
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:37,760
this shot would be better if we could see what it looks like on your laptop

128
00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:41,760
go over there andy yeah it looks pretty good

129
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:44,800
and i can get right up in the face for the real for the real business

130
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:48,720
conference vibes listen if you don't have those reports

131
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,240
in by friday yeah you guys see that is that

132
00:08:52,839 --> 00:08:58,640
brightness so like it would be good if i was like a makeup youtuber and i had to like show a

133
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,680
product it's like this week i'm wearing chanel

134
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:09,680
let's switch back to the laptop okay he's calling me

135
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,839
press the team's call button

136
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:14,480
oh and there's no camera i can hear you though and you're coming through the

137
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:20,640
monitor but my camera's off probably just because i there we go nice all right you redeemed

138
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:25,519
yourself monitor i was kind of scared for a second

139
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,240
oh my gosh sneak peek is that a short is that the ShortCircuit set i didn't even

140
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,920
know what that was i was like oh is that the podcast set

141
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,080
that's rude here i am hosting a video for you

142
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:41,760
on your channel subscribe to TechLinked subscribe to carpool critics

143
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:47,040
okay so that is uh that's a little it's redeemed itself i was just confused

144
00:09:43,839 --> 00:09:48,880
Linus look it's got a web have you ever

145
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,000
seen that before it's a webcam with a with a built-in or

146
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,000
it's a monitor with a built-in webcam look at this nope nope

147
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:59,440
well you don't like it too far what are you talking about no

148
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:05,440
it's great oh it's like it's just like a laptop without a without a mouse kit

149
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,440
why minus

150
00:10:06,079 --> 00:10:08,880
what does he know

151
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,160
the viewing angles are pretty good supposed to be 178 degrees so like

152
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,880
almost 180 and like yeah you're probably not gonna

153
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:24,000
be doing a ton of gaming on this thing okay guys it is 60 hertz

154
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,839
so whatever it's got kvm in it so

155
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:32,399
i'm plugged in with usbc on my laptop displayport again

156
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:35,600
and i'm going to plug in with the usb a

157
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,600
to usb b

158
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,320
is it doing it cool so there we go that

159
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,959
was pretty easy what they say is that it has a built-in kvm which means you should be able to

160
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,600
use one mouse and keyboard with both machines

161
00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:56,079
usb switch upstream usb-c

162
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,079
yeah okay that's super easy

163
00:10:56,079 --> 00:11:01,839
so i still have my laptop plugged in and i can control the mouse on the laptop

164
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,920
but i can also control the mouse with this one which is plugged in through the usb

165
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:09,040
the monitor yeah and that's i think is the really cool

166
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,079
thing about this monitor is that it integrates a bunch of other stuff that

167
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:18,480
you would need to like go and connect to your pc in a discrete fashion

168
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:22,000
like separate uh it's just all there i'm a bit confused as to why

169
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,519
microsoft has a monitor with teams integration built in when they have this

170
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,880
