 Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology and our trusted networking partner is Linksys. The PA249Q is a true upgrade to the 246. That means we've got a 10-bit panel, improved electronics for even closer delta E's, very, very accurate color and a wide, wide range of colors. 100% coverage of sRGB and Adobe RGB, 178 degree wide viewing angle. So this is using an IPS panel, presumably. One moment. I got the thumbs up right after we cut that last shot. So our shot logger is gonna go ahead and take care of that. Basically what this is, is it addresses that need from a productivity standpoint to have a higher than 16 by nine monitor. Because personally for me, and I know this is true for a lot of people, maybe not for watching movies, but for anything else. Spreadsheets, graphic design, having those extra pixels at the top and the bottom really does help a lot. Just like the 246, quick fit is here. So that's the button that you press that basically puts little measurements all over the screen that allows you to not have to eyeball things ever, ever again. There's even one for, here we go, a four letter pictures, different pictures, all that kinds of good stuff. And I can tell you guys right now, just subjectively standing here looking at it, holy crap, this thing is absolutely beautiful. So I think this is even a thinner bezel than the last generation as well. Gorgeous. And there's also markings here for aligning things and measuring things as well. It's getting dark in here and it's hard to see. They walked away with this before we had a chance to show it to you, but JJ is going to send us some footage of this and we are going to talk about it. Basically it is a 21 by nine IPS 29 inch monitor with side by side, essentially side by side, 17 inch monitors. It's basically two side by side, 17 inches, which is great for watching movies in their full non-black barred glory. Great for productivity because you've got what is essentially a dual monitor setup on a single stand. It connects with a single display connector as well. And you can even use the software that's included with your graphics card to create virtual displays so that you can maximize things. And JJ wants to come on in, come on into the shot. You're, yeah, tell us. I forgot one actually thing in this briefing is that these new MX series monitors also have our Sonic Master audio technology. The really cool thing about that is that we actually have a really high end integrated DAC built into the actual speaker. So actually for users that are looking to have a consolidated monitor, but also be able to have a high quality playback experience. Maybe you don't have like nicer end headphones, you don't have two channel desktop speakers, you want to keep things really aesthetically clean, nice, but actually have some nice quality sound that's been processed correctly. That's going to be built in directly into the panel. So that's going to be a nice plus. That's awesome. There's an innovation we need. I mean, as you guys know, I love higher end audio solutions. So onboard audio on anything that doesn't suck is always like two thumbs up. Over here, we have another really cool monitor. So VG series monitors, we all know they're fantastic for gaming. This one takes the cake. This one is fully Nvidia 3D vision ready. So all that stuff is fine, but check this out. One millisecond response time. So that means you won't see, no matter how closely you look at this, any kind of motion blur going on here, and 144 Hertz refresh rate, which basically means that there's no input lag. There's stuff happening, and then there's you seeing the stuff happening as clearly as possible. It's LED backlit, it's 1080p. Yes, it's a TN panel. However, if you are more concerned with the speed and responsiveness of your panel, even if you don't want to use stereoscopic 3D, you just want to run, you want to take that GTX 680 you bought, you want to actually run your game at 144 frames per second and actually see every frame it's drawing, this is a solution for you. Yes, the colors are not going to be up there with IPS or PLS or some of those other panel technologies, but if you want that extra edge, then this is pretty much the way to go.
