1 00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:08,160 So, since I shot my last video about this uh triple panel display, the box of 2 00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:14,400 which is here, I've already done the unboxing. I have done two things. First, 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,360 I assembled it. And second, I realized 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,360 what the part number means. 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:29,519 MD multi-is 230 that is 23.0 in x3 * 3. So, it's 6 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,320 actually fairly self-explanatory. I guess if they released another one, it 7 00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:36,640 would be called MD230X3 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:41,600 V2. That would be my guess. I could be wrong. Anyway, so we've got it set up 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,360 with the triple monitor stand. And I'm not going to let you look at the back 10 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:51,520 yet. I'm just going to let you bask in the uh triple monitor glory that is this 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:57,680 this setup. So, as I mentioned in the unboxing, it's about ow ouch. It's about 12 00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:03,440 the width of my outstretched arms in terms of your your visible area. Okay. 13 00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,880 The stand is a little wider than one of them. And it actually is height 14 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:13,920 adjustable, which is pretty darn cool. Okay. And uh where was I where was I 15 00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,200 going with this? It's so freaking cool. So, we are going to run some games on 16 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,680 this at some point. I haven't decided whether it'll be on my Linus Tech Tips 17 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,720 blog or my NCIXCOM channel. So, make sure you're subscribed to both so that 18 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,759 you don't miss that because we're going to get some iffinity action going on on 19 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:33,119 here. And uh I did figure out what the little and yes, they are magnetic 20 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,840 strips. The little magnetic strips are for that I found in the unboxing. 21 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:42,640 They're to put on the sides of the monitor to cover up the kind of uh 22 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,079 industrial finish that this monitor has. So, cameraman, you can come around to 23 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,560 the back and don't catch yourself in the mirror there. 24 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:55,439 So, check this out. So, I this is sort of the comment I was making a minute ago 25 00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:58,079 is that this setup is probably as close 26 00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:03,119 as you could ever get to a custom manufactured just for you setup from 27 00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:07,200 Samsung. Because you look at this, the fit and finish of it, while very 28 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,599 industrial, very rugged, very all of that, is clearly not mass-production. I 29 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,040 mean, this is like this is like stamped pieces of sheet metal with, you know, 30 00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:18,400 like ventilation holes and then it's like screwed together and you drill 31 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,120 holes through it. It's like it's like it was assembled like uh like just custom 32 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:28,879 like they found a Samsung panel and they just like built an enclosure around it 33 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,879 just for this which is pretty sweet. So 34 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,519 I want to show you guys how the cable management works on the pack because 35 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,160 it's not simple. Okay, so first of all 36 00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:42,319 you've got power. So uh you can daisy chain the monitors together so that you 37 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:46,879 only actually have to run a single power cord up to the entire setup. So, my 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,239 power cord is going into this one and then out from there to this one and then 39 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:56,560 out from there to this one. Here, back up a little bit so I can show you sort of the whole the whole look. Okay. I'm 40 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,319 using DVI on the two outside panels and 41 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:04,560 running the DVI cables over here and down. And then I have a DisplayPort uh 42 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,280 cable here. Okay. And then for USB, cuz 43 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,640 we do need USB, I've got the control pod plugged in over here. And the control 44 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,200 pod is here right now. So, that means you could sort of sit it right there in 45 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,959 front of the monitor. And then there is a control in and control out. So I plug 46 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,519 the control pod into control in and then control out into control in and then 47 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:27,680 control out into control in finally on the third one. Then the whole thing the 48 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:31,040 only way I was able to get it tidily and that is without sort of I I could do it 49 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:37,519 a little bit better if it was at home and I was going to be set up like this for good. But uh was to use some kind of 50 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:41,760 a tie around the bottom here and run the whole whack of cables down the back. So, 51 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:48,400 what we end with end up with at the bottom is two DVI, one power, and one 52 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:52,959 DisplayPort to get this whole honken thing running. 53 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,799 Uh, I think there was something else that I still wanted to say. Oh, yeah, 54 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,400 yeah, yeah. I haven't shown you guys the hinge. So, the hinges, as you can see, 55 00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:04,319 I've adjusted them. Come have a look from top down on these. So, as you can 56 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:10,480 see, I have adjusted them so they are at their full 30° angle, but you can also 57 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,879 run it completely flat if you prefer. 58 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,959 The setup for this thing actually to to put together the monitor itself took 59 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:22,240 very little time at all. I was done in about 5 minutes, whereas doing all the 60 00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:25,520 cabling actually took me about 20 minutes. So, that's that's the 61 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:28,320 timeconsuming part. Here, come have a look at it from the front over here. 62 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,919 Make sure you don't catch yourself in the window because I know you're about to. Yeah, that's right. Uh, okay. So, 63 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,000 this is what it looks like if you run it flat. And then just for perspective, 64 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:43,840 here it is with my arms span again. So, you can see how long this panel thing 65 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:50,400 is. So, as I mentioned in the unboxing, you can actually set it up differently. 66 00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:51,919 You can have them all um vertical if you 67 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:57,520 want, and then that's a that's a slightly different look. So, it'll be less wide, but more tall if you set it 68 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:04,560 up that way. So, thank you for checking out my detailed impressions on the MD230 69 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,600 X3. See, I bet I got it right even though I didn't cheat. MD230X3. Yep. And 70 00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:16,400 uh yeah, don't forget to stay tuned because we are definitely going to be uh 71 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,400 seeing this thing in action.
