WEBVTT 00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:08.160 So, since I shot my last video about this uh triple panel display, the box of 00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:14.400 which is here, I've already done the unboxing. I have done two things. First, 00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.360 I assembled it. And second, I realized 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.360 what the part number means. 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:29.519 MD multi-is 230 that is 23.0 in x3 * 3. So, it's 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:34.320 actually fairly self-explanatory. I guess if they released another one, it 00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:36.640 would be called MD230X3 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 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 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 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 00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:03.440 the width of my outstretched arms in terms of your your visible area. Okay. 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:08.880 The stand is a little wider than one of them. And it actually is height 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:13.920 adjustable, which is pretty darn cool. Okay. And uh where was I where was I 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 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 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:24.720 blog or my NCIXCOM channel. So, make sure you're subscribed to both so that 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 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.119 here. And uh I did figure out what the little and yes, they are magnetic 00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:37.840 strips. The little magnetic strips are for that I found in the unboxing. 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 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:46.079 industrial finish that this monitor has. So, cameraman, you can come around to 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:50.560 the back and don't catch yourself in the mirror there. 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 00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:58.079 is that this setup is probably as close 00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:03.119 as you could ever get to a custom manufactured just for you setup from 00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:07.200 Samsung. Because you look at this, the fit and finish of it, while very 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:11.599 industrial, very rugged, very all of that, is clearly not mass-production. I 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.040 mean, this is like this is like stamped pieces of sheet metal with, you know, 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:18.400 like ventilation holes and then it's like screwed together and you drill 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 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.879 like they found a Samsung panel and they just like built an enclosure around it 00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:30.879 just for this which is pretty sweet. So 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.519 I want to show you guys how the cable management works on the pack because 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.160 it's not simple. Okay, so first of all 00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:42.319 you've got power. So uh you can daisy chain the monitors together so that you 00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:46.879 only actually have to run a single power cord up to the entire setup. So, my 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 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 00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:58.319 using DVI on the two outside panels and 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:04.560 running the DVI cables over here and down. And then I have a DisplayPort uh 00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:07.280 cable here. Okay. And then for USB, cuz 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 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 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 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:23.519 the control pod into control in and then control out into control in and then 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:27.680 control out into control in finally on the third one. Then the whole thing the 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 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 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, 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 00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:52.959 DisplayPort to get this whole honken thing running. 00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:56.799 Uh, I think there was something else that I still wanted to say. Oh, yeah, 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, 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 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 00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.879 run it completely flat if you prefer. 00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:16.959 The setup for this thing actually to to put together the monitor itself took 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:22.240 very little time at all. I was done in about 5 minutes, whereas doing all the 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:25.520 cabling actually took me about 20 minutes. So, that's that's the 00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:28.320 timeconsuming part. Here, come have a look at it from the front over here. 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, 00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:38.000 this is what it looks like if you run it flat. And then just for perspective, 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 00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:50.400 is. So, as I mentioned in the unboxing, you can actually set it up differently. 00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:51.919 You can have them all um vertical if you 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 00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:04.560 up that way. So, thank you for checking out my detailed impressions on the MD230 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 00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:16.400 uh yeah, don't forget to stay tuned because we are definitely going to be uh 00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:16.400 seeing this thing in action.
