Hey, what's up, Sean
here with THiNK Media TV
helping you move further, faster in media.
And today, I just want
to do a quick unboxing
of this ASUS 27-inch monitor
that's the frameless Designo series.
And there's a 23-inch, a 25-inch.
This is the 27, and so let's jump into it.
And before we do, make sure
to check out show notes
and links in the description
with any kind of specs
and details that I forget
to hit or talk about.
Well, let's open this thing up.
All right, so let's
jump into this monitor.
And for me, I've been using an ASUS,
an older 21 point something inch monitor
for quite some time.
But one of the big reasons
why I wanted to go forward
and get a new monitor was because
of specifically doing
design work and video work.
And so one of the important
things about this particular
monitor is that its IPS,
which means Image Perfecting Screen.
And so, it's color accurate.
It's color true.
A lot of the reviews, and
definitely check out the links
in the description that
will go to tons of reviews,
this monitor has great reviews.
They talk about how people
use this for Mac and PC,
and one of the things that
Mac monitors really have
going for them is how
accurate their color is
and how really more I believe they're IPS.
I could be wrong, let
me know in the comments.
But that Image Perfecting Screen.
And so I needed to jump into
that to kind of level up
what I was seeing in my
monitor myself, right?
It comes with a DVI to HDMI
cable right in the box.
If you were thinking about
ordering a cable with it,
my monitors kind of need to
go far away from my machine
so I ordered a separate HDMI cable
that were six feet each.
This looks like a four foot cable,
just so you can know about that.
Comes with a headphone
jack, 1/8th-inch cable
so you can use the speakers,
which I will not be doing.
Comes with the power supply in it.
Comes with VGA cable,
which I will not be using.
I'll be using the six foot
HDMI cables that I purchased.
We've got the nice frame base.
The base to the monitor.
And now, we've got the monitor itself.
So one thing I notice
immediately about this
is that it's pretty light, as you can see.
I'm just flinging it around here.
And so that's cool.
The box is definitely giant.
But as far as the monitor
goes, it is very light.
And my gosh, frameless design
is absolutely on point.
And I'll do some close ups
of that in a little bit.
Let me put the frame on really quick.
Super cool assembly with this.
I thought it was going to
be a little more complex.
Literally you can just pop this in,
and if you had a flathead
screwdriver, you'd be good to go,
But it also has a little,
those hand twist screws,
so you can get that going.
So, that my friends,
is really all it took.
And there it is.
Couple things to note, it can lean back
that far based on this base.
And then it can also lean forward
that far based on the base.
We got plastic and whatnot on there
that I will get to in a bit.
Let's check out the
plug array on the back.
So we have two HDMIs.
We've got a VGA.
We've got a headphone jack here.
We've got a speaker input here.
And then we've got our power supply there.
The front, of course why you
want to go for this model,
very clean, very sexy, super nice.
A lot of reviews I've heard people saying
once you've gone with this
minimal of a frameless design
why would you go back?
Couple other specs to know.
This has got speakers built
in if that's important to you.
178 degree viewing angle.
That's very awesome.
It's LED backlight style,
and this particular model is 27-inches.
Now, this is my old monitor, and this is,
I believe 21-inches.
And so, you can immediately see the bulk
on the back of even like an older monitor.
And the crazy thing about it
is the 27 is actually not
in a way that much larger.
Obviously it's much larger screen,
but because of how much space you save
from it being frameless, it's
not gonna take up a ton more
desk space but it's gonna
obviously produce so much more.
And let's just measure out
the overall thickness here.
So, you're really three
quarters of an inch up top.
At the bottom, a little bit
wider, goes to one inch total.
So extremely thin, light.
Let's jump in to how it looks set up.
All right, set up was easy.
It was fast, worked
immediately, looks beautiful.
Got tons of screen real estate.
Very, very cool design and I'm
super pumped about it so far.
So I'll be definitely posting
a more comprehensive review
but really, the reviews about
this monitor are pretty insane
and just wanted to an unboxing
so you could see the details
and get some eyes on it
and get some kind of
perspective of how it looks.
So, there you go.
