WEBVTT

00:00:00.799 --> 00:00:07.279
monitors they're pretty boring but this one is not because it's got a

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

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

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.440
hate spoilers mandalorian was spoiled for me

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:26.560
all right now the cool thing about this monitor is that

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:28.480
it's got a teams button microsoft teams

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:34.079
have you ever heard of it it's like skype and it's got a pop-up

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.360
camera with Windows hello so i did spoil

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

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:44.000
i like that there's a knife right here

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:47.039
oh oh okay so it's there but you're not allowed to use it

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:52.879
what do we use these paper clips for come on there it is

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.879
okay down we go

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.800
it's a 34 inch ultra wide is that right jono

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.960
it is curved uh for better or for worse with a 3800 r

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:06.640
curvature uh which is i guess is pretty typical nowadays

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:10.960
um i wouldn't get a curved ultra wide monitor just so you know

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:14.640
we got in the box we got a usbc

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:18.799
cable a usb 3.0 or 3.1

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:20.400
gen 1 i think 3.2 gen 1.

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:27.680
they're also annoying they're also confusing now features a DisplayPort

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.040
cable i think that's 1.2

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.400
and a power cable okay

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.880
wow there's so many components there's so many compartments

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

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:50.479
drop the base because i'm not Linus this is the monitor ARM stand thing

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:50.479
what do you call this that thing

00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:57.600
okay here's the monitor it

00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:00.079
itself take the monitor out and then

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.640
put put that thing on it i thought you just had to hold it

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:06.880
i thought you just had to go at your desk and just be like ah

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:12.239
that's nice large deep dish ultrawide monitor

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:15.360
okay get in there

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:15.840
oh that's always so satisfying and to

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.959
the base we are now adding extra like work

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.080
features into monitors which i've been like why haven't they done that earlier

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.080
like give me something extra

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:36.000
which dell has apparently done oh look at that fabric

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:39.280
this is a speaker dual

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.480
5 watt speakers i did um i knew that

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.599
there were speakers but i didn't know that there was going to be this nice old fabric on it

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

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:56.319
i don't do that oh i do that's right yeah show the tweet show the tweet

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.840
i'm gonna hook this up so we can

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.239
really test it out but before i do that

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.319

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:34.640
me hooking up a pc to this monitor so

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.159
the what oh i'll do that jono

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

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.560
physical oh okay so this is one of the so we're

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.319
starting right off with a limitation the smaller models are able to do this

00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:50.000
more i believe the other ones can go all the way

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:54.640
because it's you know who's gonna who's gonna

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.840
pivot a 34-inch monitor vertically okay

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

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.360
i should have i should have just done this when i before i attached it

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:10.720
okay so we obviously got the power connector we got an HDMI

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:16.239
2.0 port i believe we got displayport 1.2 now this is a usb

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.880
3.2 gen1 port that supports up to 5 gigabits per second

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.840
it's also got an rj45 Ethernet um and

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:28.320
then on the bottom you kind of have like a more easily accessible usb a

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.360
connector as well as a 3.5 mil jack and

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:33.040
a another USB-C port it's also got

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.199
this handy little teams button on the front that's not something you see every

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.919
day and in fact it's the main attraction of

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:43.600
this monitor get a close-up on that andy right there got these other buttons boom

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:46.960

00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:46.160
no it's not um

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:49.440
duplicate extend this isn't just a monitor that you're plugging in so right

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:56.080
now we're only using the display portion of the usbc connection but

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:59.280
we're also asking it to use a webcam

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:02.960
and mics and to send sound

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:05.120
and as a usb hub let's open the camera

00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:07.440
so right now it's using the laptop's webcam

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

00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:15.360
thing off yeah ready for appeal i set you free webcam

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:24.960
can you see that what do you see nothing

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:30.000
it's camouflaged this monitor is a transformer

00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:30.960
webcams in disguise sorry i'll stop all

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:36.960
right i haven't pushed it yet do you think i should

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.960
push it

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:44.720
hey there it looks like you're using a team certified device

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:49.199
did you know tapping the teams button opens teams that's what i just did

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:54.880
let's bring that over here call me on teams

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.720
oh is it working

00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:00.240
no that's my that's my that's my laptop webcam i'm unmuting but it's

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:04.080
muting me again right away all right let's cancel this cancelled

00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:11.280
no i'm going to plug in the pc instead because

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

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

00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:24.000
the usbc port and then i'm grabbing the display

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.000
port

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

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.240
press the button i almost half expected it to like when you press the teams

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:42.000
button for it to like go online and download it teams hello

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:45.440
okay now can you hear me check check check

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.319
what the heck this is probably a huge waste of time yep

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:55.039
because i need to download drivers or something all right cancel again

00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:56.479
sorry get out of my face jono

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

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

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

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

00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:16.879
are supposed to do is push oh there it is and webcam and mic

00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:27.199
enabled i'm gonna peel this off all right call

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:30.479
me jono

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.919
yeah it's supposed to be 1080p 30fps

00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:37.760
this shot would be better if we could see what it looks like on your laptop

00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:41.760
go over there andy yeah it looks pretty good

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:44.800
and i can get right up in the face for the real for the real business

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.720
conference vibes listen if you don't have those reports

00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:52.240
in by friday yeah you guys see that is that

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

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:03.680
product it's like this week i'm wearing chanel

00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:09.680
let's switch back to the laptop okay he's calling me

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:11.839
press the team's call button

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

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

00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:25.519
yourself monitor i was kind of scared for a second

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

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.920
know what that was i was like oh is that the podcast set

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:38.080
that's rude here i am hosting a video for you

00:09:35.839 --> 00:09:41.760
on your channel subscribe to TechLinked subscribe to carpool critics

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

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:48.880
Linus look it's got a web have you ever

00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:52.000
seen that before it's a webcam with a with a built-in or

00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:56.000
it's a monitor with a built-in webcam look at this nope nope

00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:59.440
well you don't like it too far what are you talking about no

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

00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:05.440
why minus

00:10:06.079 --> 00:10:08.880
what does he know

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:14.160
the viewing angles are pretty good supposed to be 178 degrees so like

00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:18.880
almost 180 and like yeah you're probably not gonna

00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:24.000
be doing a ton of gaming on this thing okay guys it is 60 hertz

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:26.839
so whatever it's got kvm in it so

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:32.399
i'm plugged in with usbc on my laptop displayport again

00:10:28.880 --> 00:10:35.600
and i'm going to plug in with the usb a

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.600
to usb b

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:40.320
is it doing it cool so there we go that

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

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:49.600
use one mouse and keyboard with both machines

00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:56.079
usb switch upstream usb-c

00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:58.079
yeah okay that's super easy

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

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

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.040
the monitor yeah and that's i think is the really cool

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:12.079
thing about this monitor is that it integrates a bunch of other stuff that

00:11:10.640 --> 00:11:18.480
you would need to like go and connect to your pc in a discrete fashion

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:22.000
like separate uh it's just all there i'm a bit confused as to why

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:25.519
microsoft has a monitor with teams integration built in when they have this

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:28.880
like special deal with samsung where like samsung and microsoft are

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:31.680
buddy buddy i figured this would be a samsung monitor instead but it's a dell

00:11:30.640 --> 00:11:36.320
you know dell's getting in on the microsoft action too microsoft doesn't

00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:36.320
discriminate

00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:43.839
i don't know i'm scared i don't think this is going to be very good guys

00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:53.279
for a business focused monitor

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:56.880
that's pretty good well that was a monitor

00:11:54.160 --> 00:12:00.480
and this was a video and you are a viewer

00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:03.920
