okay so this video is the result of two recent events here Atlantis media group
that have serendipitously collided the
first is that our search for a new graphic designer is over the LMG Squad
has a new member and this person naturally will need a high-performance
workstation that they can use to design vector graphics and it videos and
potentially create animations and the second is that LG reached out to us to
sponsor a video about their new 27 UK
850 monitor it's 4k its HDR and it looks
like a great match for our new graphic designer so you see where I'm going with
this so we decided to use this monitor in this sponsored video to build a
workstation for this guy whose face and
name will remain secret because he's not past his probation yet
I'm really liking the look of this monitor it's got the thin bezels that
we've come to expect from LG on all sides which enhances the immersion
factor it's got a 3840 by 2160 4k
resolution with 315 a typical brightness and on the back it's got a textured
white finish and a slim stand with 110 millimeters of hide adjust and 25
degrees of tilt which unfortunately we
are not going to be able to see or use once we attach it to our crate case
alright so as not necessarily an expert
on you know creative workstations I've brought in
well I think expert would be a strong word Dennis thank you for volunteering
wait that's that person no I'm building this PC for
no no
surprise so if you guys watched recently Dennis did claim in his PC building
simulator you know PC building debut that he could build a normal computer
just fine it was limitations of the software that held him back I know how
to be in real life I know how to do it
of course of course so Dennis why don't you start us off
here with our CPU so we're gonna be using a 79 80 Excel for several use I
know you had you touch it no I know I know
we can put it here oh
oh okay there's no plastic thing okay yeah
that's fine that's fine I feel like this
is more like kindergarten class no I'm the triangle who's it this is trying I
know this may be like that
okay turn it no no no okay this way okay
you put the size of a rice I've seen the video like a big rice bigger eyes yeah
thick your eyes like bloated rice yeah cuz this is a big CPU that's what your
rice looks like you see long rides I
know yeah so you have to open the clip first I know I know I didn't do that in
the videos but I know that's not oh that's an SSD no I know that I think
that looks different this is the click sound just make a sound effect you know
No okay okay stop it I'm not acting this is
really hot out there I don't think you're acting oh no no no
this way ha ha ha ha I know it Linus
don't you I would never laugh at you I'm laughing with you
got it got it got it more accurately I'm laughing with the viewers they are
laughing they are learning how to be a PC with me
yeah just like that just like can see building simulator
good good collect like uh how much time
do we have in here we have we have four rims I
don't want to do the math again okay
ready now we add our HDR monitor
so I can lay that down Boop not on any screws hopefully they do that
wait wait doesn't fit is this something
wait this doesn't go on that side that's
okay nice this is like bad
Oh
guys going mm this is
C you are wrong I said we were wrong
IDI say you was right yes
seems like such a waste to get rid of a like stand that looks like this for one
that yeah compared to this like that but
this way we can have the computer clipped onto it okay so you're gonna put
it on and we're coming through this you're gonna do the honors make sure you
got a good angle and Casey drops at Brennan at the very least we want to
capture it on camera I'm not going to drop this for sure
yes
this is Ian wait it's not only the top is on you
miss Luxx I was kind of it go
no you missed out come can you look at
it from the side do you see how the hooks go okay oh
my god oh
my god
yes yes yeah your honor
Wow
so believe it or not this workstation is
actually more powerful than your editing workstation really yep okay so we are
making a couple of compromises we can't especially access the i/o which is kind
of a shame because it's got two HDMI one DisplayPort all supporting HDR it's got
a USB type-c with 60 watts of power so you can like run your laptop on the side
actually that would be a pretty cool idea just having it plugged in
permanently and just having like a wire like velcro here or something that you could run your laptop off it yeah but I
mean you lose height adjust and stuff but still
one piece full workstation now it's time for us to
test out the HD arnis
we made our own all-in-one Dennis yeah
okay let's find out how good it is for productivity then
wow it's actually better than my editing
machines is check out that that real-time 8k footage scrubbing in full
at full not bad eh
keep playing
you can really see my hair thinning at 8k
so what we're looking at here is a testing code at 4k for upload to YouTube
and wow that is really darn speedy sorry
Dennis but this is way better than your machine so we're making this for the new
designers there his desktop background desktop
desktop desk desktop there you go and
once he saw this he will know why we need to hire him there's a new desktop
get that picture google it it's I just have it on my
phone what is this what you also have a
vessel actually yes and why Wow now given this as a
workstation it's probably not going to come up that often but other than
playing back HDR videos HDR gaming is one of the biggest use cases for HDR and
you can clearly see that it's working in Deus Ex mankind divided here this
benchmark looks noticeably better on an HDR display than
it does on an SDR display now with that said in HDR mode sometimes you do run
into some odd behavior like for example
this thumbnail for Austin's iPhone 10 video which happens to be an HDR video
is not HDR so like the thumbnail looks weird but then the video itself is gonna
be running in HDR so there you have it overall I'm really
pleased with this nice compact little workstation that we managed to put
together it is definitely a little bit
on the heavy side but you can't really blame the monitor for that I guess that's why they stopped making cases out
of thick steel or cast iron or whatever
else the case may be we ended up with really nice cable management and
hopefully they really liked it and are especially proud of having a system
built by the one and only Dennis V ow it worked so it's fine I think you will
love it so thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video you can hit that
