Unboxing 26" Asus LCD monitor

[vI8MileZzHighIv1]

What's your image setting (which splendide mode do you use and what brightness etc ...?) for gaming ?

[smithy8u]

@vI8MileZzHighIv1 i have the brightness at full and i use the "scenery" mode because the colours really pop out at you!

[smithy8u]

@LFCTraynor Yeah, the black levels are accurate, can't really fault it. The asus monitors out now are really nice im thinking of picking up one for my pc. :)

[smithy8u]

@LFCTraynor Yeah the monitor works really well with xbox, im playing battlefield 3 and it looks amazing! :)

[romario50001]

look at those cheap computer speakers LMAO

[ArnoldWilsonnegger]

We have the same monitor and guitar.. lol!

[hamptonpanthers]

damn u got 20k views?

[paolvale]

@hamptonpanthers No shit sherlock

[defecationofthewomen]

Sadly ASUS just had to remove the DVI-D ports in there line of HDTV "monitors" so they'd be cheaper I suppose and the HDMI ports were probably used instead for a gaming audience.

[benry200]

cool we have the same screen

[smithy8u]

@benry200 Nice

[KC816KC]

@smithy8u Isnt there an HDMI Out slot/ Headphones slot in the back?

[smithy8u]

@KC816KC Yes there is a HDMI

[Rathos1]

shoes indoors o_o

[smithy8u]

@ReconMasterGamer not, really i can honestly say no i dont think so.

[ps3dude14]

[smithy8u]

@ps3dude14 well i just connected my xbox via hdmi and yes it works with ps3 and it costs around 35 to 400

[ps3dude14]

@smithy8u thx and 1 more thing hav u had any problems with it so far

[smithy8u]

@ps3dude14 No, none what so ever, ive had it since January last year and its still as great as the day i bought it.

[attackzombies]

[penutbutergoeshard]

thought power cord you needed was australian cuz, didnt think there were any other major english speaking countries lol.

[KryptoniteAceHD]

Do you Skate ?? you have a fish eye lens thats why i asked

[jinchurikione]

this is probably a dumb question but hey this is youtube so ill ask it anyways, i was wondering besides the connections is there any other reason why a monitor would not be complient with a tower?

[xPhoreZx]

[BranislavDJ]

Lucky you man. :(

I still have Belinea CRT from 1999 xD

[smithy8u]

[123danu]

[siimozom999]

hardscoper !!

[cooldudepro]

ordered this for my 360 + computer, cant wait

watched your vid like 3 times - once last year, once in the summer, and once right now before ordering it haha

[robjbw]

Great video. Like the comparison. Really shows that this monitor is a beast! Thanks, I'm buying one.

[Epictrumpet13]

I like the crap on the cam at 3:16

[aala12]

Hey, you don't mind giving me directions to your place right.......I might need to borrow that monitor of your's for say like 4ever :P

Also what model is that (Sorry for second comment :P)

[smithy8u]

@aala12 hahahaha sorry man your going to have to get your own. XD

[aala12]

Hey, you don't mind giving me directions to your place right.......I might need to borrow that monitor of your's for say like 4ever :P

[nougatfisk]

u could jump down in the box ;)

[RussMusiq1]

Six months ago i would have said you are crazy for getting a 26' inch monitor. I had a 19' one and upgraded to 23' Dell ST2320L and i have to say i should have waited and saved a little more and bought a 26' or 27' monitor. They just make the whole computer experience and gaming experience so much better. Worth every penny.

[XVidProductions]

A montage inside a monitor unboxing/review. bravo.

[luvSIXpup]

Epic! Thumbs Up!

[Netlocd]

jesus christ you need to get some meat on your bones, kid. i dont know how you managed to get that box into your house without you being snapped in two. lol

[smithy8u]

@Netlocd hahahaha yeah, i just dont have the time to drive down to mcdonalds lol

[Shorty20122012]

@Netlocd

Woah @ making fun of the kid when he's posting this video for consumers to see. Don't be a dick guy.

[aschris87]

my god ur a rapid unboxer how bigs ur internet connection...?

[Zimx02]

You have a pc? Why are you playing an xbox?

[spartan1081990]

U MADE MY DAY! I been searching for a size comparison of a 19 inc monitor and a 24 (25-26) inch monitor for a long time on google and youtube, and I have finally found it, what is the exact model of this monitor? I might buy the VW266H for christmas.

[spartan1081990]

@spartan1081990 lol forget my question I noticed IT IS THE VW266H!

[FantasticPyroclastic]

@Youreallyknowhow

[cobrastomas]

[Prence]

Gratz. :)

[LoLRaider]

he is madafaka

[azarobi]

why does it not look like a wide screen monitor !! it seems to have that old 4:3 aspect ratio.

[smithy8u]

@azarobi it must be the lens for my camera im using, because trust me its wwiiiiddddeee

[TekLex]

@smithy8u btw its not a normalwidescreen. its a 16:10? much better than the mainstream 16:9... believe me ;)

[NeoSlyfer]

@azarobi because it's 16:10 not 16:9

[NnikoBellic]

are you useing HDMI input??

[smithy8u]

@NnikoBellic im using hd component cables but it does have hdmi input i would use one but im getting the same quality anyway plus my xbox is old and doesn't have a hdmi input.

[NnikoBellic]

[tahsanul]

[tahsanul]

hey man does ur monitor work on both 110 voltage and 220 voltage ? Cud u plz confirm ??

[trahzil]

Tight pants means you have no junk, haha just kidding, nice unboxing. =)

[Airikeq2]

where can i download that wallpaper from?

[unokilo321]

great video, thanks for uploading, i'm looking to buy a new monitor to replace my 23in lcd, I can't decide between the 25.5 and the 27, how are the speakers? good for every day use? I like using a head set for gaming, I dont currently have speakers so it would be kinda nice to have them on the monitor just for movies and what not.

[smithy8u]

@unokilo321 yeah the speakers work great on this monitor i use them still along with my separate speakers

[unokilo321]

@smithy8u thx for the quick reply, good to hear that they work good, I saw an acer 27in on sale locally for probably double what i'd pay online, and the speakers weren't that great. I like that this monitor has 1920x1200 res, I might go with this for my next build.

[obscurouse]

ah actually gonna go with an LED LCD by acer =)

thanks i appreciate the insight tho.

[obscurouse]

im thinking of either this monitor or the same 24 inch one.

I will be using it for xbox, ps3, and pc gaming. I mainly play a lot of WoW and SC2.

Which would any of you recommend?

[smithy8u]

@obscurouse well if your willing to spend a little more then defently go for this its just great.

[LALOMAN18]

One you get this kick ass monitor make sure you "Calibrate" it so you can get rid of some blueish and make the colors come to life! its a must if you want to enjoy this beauty at its fullest! Mine cost me $230 total.... got a great deal on it brand new...

[smithy8u]

@LALOMAN18 sound good how do i 'calibrate it exactly'

[Junije1]

ROFLMAO!!! Guys commenting about how cool his pants are in a video about a pc display. WTF??

[Dreamst8r]

cool pants dude, what kind are they? i've been looking for something like em.

[pensterasd]

I stopped the video once i saw the 360 controller sorry man

[patrikk777]

How's the sharpness on this thing? Any blurry texts or something?

[smithy8u]

@patrikk777 definatley not, this is a incredible monitor, its crystal clear

[Alucardthedeadone]

So is this monitor worth the money, I'm looking to get 3 for eyefinity.

[smithy8u]

@Alucardthedeadone same eventually i want to get 3 for eyefinity and yes they are really great moniters and worth the money.

[Alucardthedeadone]

@smithy8u Awesome video mate. I want to play Napoleon Total War in 5760x1200

[narsplace]

@smithy8u I got it now, so excited my hands get busy often.

[kiddpuppy]

2:46 great slow motion dude!lol

[smithy8u]

@kiddpuppy haha i know so dramatic right.

[hybridz10]

buy yourself some astros or turtle beaches and then you've got a nice setup

[Magza]

@hybridz10

No one in there right mind recommends turtle beaches over all the other great quality headsets.

[smithy8u]

@Magza really, what do you suggest?

[heavypeki]

LoL it's annoying that fisheye lens. Are you a skater?

[smithy8u]

@heavypeki lol yeah

[ddawg20613]

ahh fishbowl filter.. gotta love it.

[pipifox]

i'll get one for myself next week XD that monitor is really awsome

thanks for sharing

[Farbeyondwasted54]

[garithian]

[smithy8u]

@maddehs yeah this monitor is awsome

[8800gt1]

how many hz is it ?

[zcm76]

LOL .. relax man ! ... seem what you want masturbate XD

[alesgarda]

this monitor is awesome

[Keroque]

Really difference between 19" at 26".. I have a 19" asus and it´s fucking good.. hehe

[smithy8u]

@Keroque yeah i still use my 19 inch and it still works fine after lik3 yuears haha

[smithy8u]

@bob2157 nice i wouldnt mind having 2 of these either haha

[LICKPIMP]

[smithy8u]

lol there slim fits there to small for me now

[crushermonkey]

he is in a hurry lol. Cant Wait !!! haha

[LookatthatSH1T]

Hey I have the same modem as you and same monitor soon :D. I wouldn't keep your modem there as the 360 gets hot enough without it. As you probably already know 360's break a lot. I just got mine back from repair.

[smithy8u]

sweet and i have moved my modem off my xbox and some where differnt thanks

[BallistixTracer]

Why do people always zoom on labels... we know its an Asus lol

[Bulldog22031]

the sound of Styrofoam coming out of a box is like nails on a chalkboard!

How do you like the monitor so far? how are games on it? Do the colors pop, are they at all dull? How is the reflection?

[smithy8u]

haha i love this moniter and the colours are brilliant and i dont get any reflection so its great

[punxz18]

can you wall mount this?

[smithy8u]

yes i think so

[LALOMAN18]

The best thing about asus monitor is that they are tall and wide in screen size compared to the rest that are only wide in sizes and suck in being tall screens as well!

[smithy8u]

yeah asus moniters are big

[danorambo]

can plug ps3 in it?

[smithy8u]

@danorambo yeah i think so

[danorambo]

@smithy8u kk

[Truth4Everyone]

is it better than the iiyama 27 B2712HD?

[smithy8u]

@Truth4Everyone  um im not sure but this is one of the best moniters out there so yeah

[Kyonamsu]

Cool unboxing!

[cookiemonster187]

how easy is it for you to see small things, like a sniper standing in the window, or somebody in prone. how far do you typically sit from the screen, how far would u say is too far

[smithy8u]

the screen is exellent quality and it is very easy to see anything because its so clear. i sit about 1 or 2 meters away

[M3jorDOOSHfilms]

can u play ps3 on it too?

[smithy8u]

im not sure if ps3 ave component cables or a hdmi cable input

[cookiemonster187]

@smithy8u of course they do, they have always had them

[markoulas2]

I have a 22 inch monitor... will it be a big difference?

[smithy8u]

well i had a 20 inch and when i unboxed my 26 the size difference was pretty big

[cookiemonster187]

how is the sound? do you need seperate speakers for better sound quality, or is it good enough to fill a room without sacrificing sound quality

[smithy8u]

the sound is great quality and go's very loud, so buy seperate speakers arnt very nessesary

[cookiemonster187]

aight thanks

[IRONMAIDENrockinrio]

what guitar is it in the background? strat deluxe?

thx^^

[smithy8u]

yeahh

[Roastyleg]

is there much input lag when playing 360 on it?

[smithy8u]

nope

[damejakt]

I orderd this monitor some days ago,

could u check how tall this monitor is. From the desk to the top of the monitor. Not the screen itself

[smithy8u]

about 46cm so 18.1 inches

[ibananei]

i will buy the same monitor, its cheap, and very good & big :), 400$ (300€)

[smithy8u]

yeah its very impressive

[richivinsky]

hey, I just ordered this monitor last night and I was wondering what was the gender of the two connectors on the DVI cable. I need to buy an adapter for my mac, and I'm not sure which mini-dvi to dvi converter I need to get. Congrats on your purchase!

[smithy8u]

Thank you, the connections are male on the DVI cable. Enjoy your moniter when you get it its great.

[smithy8u]
