today we're going to be doing an unboxing of the a cert V 2 3 3 H 8 jb d this is a 23 inch widescreen monitor it has 1080p resolution and it is a 16 by 9 monitor so that means that it is perfect and even I would say ideal for watching HD content on your computer because you can run it completely on scales so at full resolution and also if you have 16 by 9 content which could be the standard then you will not be seeing any black bars along the top and bottom of the picture so let's have a look at the accessories that are included with it this is a pretty value-oriented monitor but it still comes with a fair number of accessories so you've got both of your cables included VGA as well as DVI VGA DVI cables then you've also got a power cable this monitor has an internal inverter so that means that you do not have to have an external power brick with it next we've actually there that was it you've just got the monitor itself so I'm just gonna turn this over and dump it out it is compatible with Windows 7 according to the box right now ok so the box comes down here the base goes here it has a very simple base so it doesn't feature swivel or tilt or any of those fancy features but what it does have is solidity going for it like I said it's a fairly basic monitor but the reality of it is if you're looking for sort of a high resolution reasonably big screen it's a 23 inch then this is probably pretty much what you're looking for so let's just open this up here and then we've got a little cover over top of the screen so I'm just gonna sorry I'm just bear with me here while I remove this and then we'll put this monitor together and I'm actually unboxing this so that I can do a bit of a comparison between a conventional cathode backlit LCD and an LED backlit LCD so Aaron let me just throw this on here and the first thing that we're gonna look at in our Harrison is going to be the width because of that is one of the coolest things about LED backlight technology so check this out okay so yes it does have tilt actually I take that back it has tilt in fact they both have tilt okay so there you go that is how much thinner and LED backlit display is because instead of having these big tube lights in the back here it's actually just got individual LEDs cameraman wants to have like sort of a better look at it oh yeah I see I see what you want to do that okay so anyway that's it for my comparison you'll have to watch the full NCIX tech tips episode but we're gonna look at sort of power consumption as well as the differences in contrast ratio color reproduction as well as thickness obviously here is where all of our on-screen controls are so you got menu auto adjust navigating the menus as well as your power button and that pretty much covers the cameraman wants me to turn it around yeah because that don't totally doesn't cover it so here at the back we've got ventilation because those lights you get quite hot that's yet another thing that you do not find on the back of an LED backlit LCD we have four screws for our VESA mount so if you wanted to mount this to something like actually this would be a perfect thing to mount on that cool ITX case that I unboxed a while back where it's got a little arm coming out of the top of the case and you just mount a monitor on it so that'd be a perfect use for something like this here's your power in as well as your DVI and VGA inputs it does have a Kensington lock port here so if you have security concerns about where this monitor is going to be placed then that would be a good way to secure it thank you for checking out my unboxing today and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips as well as my NCIX comm channel
