 Who ever said that e-begging never benefited the world? Actually, I probably said that but in at least one circumstance it is now benefiting you. I think last week I did a little test live stream and one of the things I noted as an aside is that it sure would be nice if The channel meaning me, but I mean also the channel had a 1080p display to record on now That's because when I upload my videos Used to have well, I still have that monitor over there. I'm sorry my room is a mess I didn't even realize I've been organizing things, but um I have this old TV that I've been using and recording videos on and it's at a resolution It's like 1680 by 1050 something really weird like that and that resolution is just not compatible with YouTube at all So when I upload a screencast all of my screencasts when I upload them YouTube takes that resolution and like distorts it and resizes it to like 11 something by 720 or something really weird So all of my bit all of my videos have been like that all my screencasts at least So I mentioned in this live stream It sure would be nice if you guys want to donate to the channel to get me a 1080p display because it'll benefit me Because it's nice to have a bigger display, but it also benefits every single video I do because you now would have Full 1080p now as you may be noticing You might be watching this in 1080p or at least there is now a 1080p resolution available because someone bit the bait and Volunteer this guy Hinnock Hinnock s. I think he said I'll tell you what I like your channel I've benefited a lot from it. I have so he had some kind of online store credits or Amazon points I don't even know but he said send me a reasonably priced screen and I will buy it for you So the one I sent him I had to do research I actually don't know anything about screens or like screen technology So I had to do reading but eventually the one I decided on is this think vision It is it's on the cheaper end, but it is still fantastic quality. I'll talk about this This is going to be sort of a review video It's sort of an announcement announcing we're doing 1080p now, but also a review So got this thing. I've been using it. It came in pretty quickly. I think it was shipped by Amazon I'm not a big friend of Amazon. Not a big fan. Don't use it myself, but They do have really fast shipping. I was really surprised at it, but it came I've been using it for a couple days and it is fantastic Now let's see. Anyway, so let me give you actually I took some pictures of it I was thinking about doing an unboxing video, but that's like the absolute state of YouTube You know, I don't like those things, but it came came in this package I had it sent to some other place that I could pick up I don't like giving people my own address obviously, but um You know had it sent to another place and I brought it back and it was actually really lightweight I was not expecting it because again, I have this huge old TV that I've been using. That's the monitor. I'm used to Came in a couple pieces now I one of the reasons I got this for a couple of reasons one, of course It's 1080p one It's an IPS panel which I had to read up on what that actually means But I am glad that I chose an IPS panel and it also has a display port as opposed to HDMI now The more expensive think visions I think they'll usually have display port and HDMI But this one is supposed to be you know more of the bare bones more minimal one the on the cheaper end So it comes with just VGA and display port now Those are exactly the ports that I need think pads have display ports. That's why I need them I don't really care that much on HDMI whenever I use HDMI I have to use an adapter because you know, I don't have an HDMI plug on my think pad although I think more modern think pads have HDMI I don't know but that's one of the reasons I got this specific one But I mean if you really wanted this you could get an HDMI adapter and it probably work fine So I got it just some random pictures So has a little cord the thing for them. Let me flip that around. I didn't even notice that Yeah, so it has a little thing for you to put cords through and other stuff like that And it's generally so the build quality. I will say the build quality of the monitor is I well, I haven't mentioned it yet, but I rate the screen 10 out of 10 The screen is fantastic the build quality of the like the plastic and all that stuff isn't super great I mean, it's not it's not like breakable. It's not like falling apart, but it's not it's not super stable I mean, it's not gonna fall over. But if you really push on it I mean, it just doesn't have like the build that you know, you might want from It's pretty much its own price. We'll just say that But it's what it's what I expected, but the view of it is fantastic now first off in terms of resolution As I said, I'm using this I used to use this weird monitor six something by 1050 and it YouTube I would record screencasts in that upload them to YouTube and they would be mutilated into this weird resolution Also the screen despite this is my old screen. This is my new one and despite the fact that this one is much bigger This one has a much better resolution and I actually like that it is small. I got one of the smaller ones I think it's like 21 inches or something and I like that if I hadn't like I like not having to turn my head all over The place I like being relatively close. So I think it fits me very well. I don't know if I could handle two more inches, but So If you compare it to my other screen, well, actually, this isn't very good because it's behind it But the new screen is actually wider physically than the old one. Although it is it is also shorter But I tried to take some pictures here again. I got an IPS panel I had to do some research into what this is but it is supposed to I mean most you guys probably know You probably know more than me about this kind of stuff, but Those of you who know this kind of stuff, you know IPS panels. They're supposed to be perfect color fidelity or more or less perfect and They look fantastic. I tried to take some pictures here to show you what they actually look like In fact, I even installed neo fetch just so I could take one of these stereotypical pictures But the color does just not show up like in real life. It looks fantastic. It doesn't my camera just was not capturing it here But it is absolutely wonderful. So apparently IPS displays or panels or whatever They're they're the best in terms of color fidelity, but if you're like a gamer or something Since the IPS panels, I think have a lower Hertz rate or update rate or something If you're a gamer, you might not want to use them or something that that's to my understanding But this look it looks honestly the screen in real life again It doesn't look good in these images frankly, but in real life the screen looks fantastic It is just bursting with color now. I actually have an IPS display on my think pad And I had always wondered I mean I didn't know anything about it I sort of knew it was an IPS display, but I had always wondered why is my think pad so vivid I'd plug it up to screens and the bigger screens would always be nastier and in worse color But apparently it's the IPS thing and I also took a picture of myself as you can see The you might notice I probably should have shaved because now my picture down here is going to appear in a better resolution just because You know the screen is bigger. So my webcam, which I think takes up a certain I forget how I wrote the script, but I think it takes up a certain percentage of the screen So I will now appear in slightly higher depth. So I'm gonna have to work on that lighting, you know I don't know if I like this lighting. I should probably shave. I haven't shaved in a couple days, but Anyway, so that's about it. So again, thanks to Hennock s for Have buying not just me but all of you this display because everyone from now on all my screencasts Unless I'm just on my laptop somewhere, but all my screencasts I record at home are going to be 1080p So of course you can still watch them in 720 if you want or something like that if you think it's bloat to have 1080p, but Oh and one other thing so every once in a while I'd get someone asking me a question about Is it worth it? Is it worth it to use a tiling window manager if you don't have 1080p? Or if you don't have a widescreen display and I was always confused by that because I've used tiling window managers even on my x 60 think pad, which you know, I don't even know what the resolution of it I mean, it's basically like 100 by 500 or something. It's or well, no, it's one of this of four by three displays Um, so I I'm used to using tiling window managers on that and of course they're fantastic there as well But I noticed I mean I have 400 more pixels in terms of width now So I realized like how much more I can get from a tiling window manager Like I can actually have three columns of stuff and be able to read all of them very well Um, so that is something that uh on my other screen my big my big fat screen, which is actually ironically worse That had fewer pixels. You couldn't really do that or it was harder to do that. So Anyway, that's about it. So just a random announcement so you can now look forward to my videos in 1080p again. Thanks, Hinoch Uh, I think that's an east african name. I'm not quite sure But anyway, give him some upcoming if he posts in the comments, but um, well, I'll see you guys next time
