okay so this video is the result of two recent events here Atlantis media group that have serendipitously collided the first is that our search for a new graphic designer is over the LMG Squad has a new member and this person naturally will need a high-performance workstation that they can use to design vector graphics and it videos and potentially create animations and the second is that LG reached out to us to sponsor a video about their new 27 UK 850 monitor it's 4k its HDR and it looks like a great match for our new graphic designer so you see where I'm going with this so we decided to use this monitor in this sponsored video to build a workstation for this guy whose face and name will remain secret because he's not past his probation yet I'm really liking the look of this monitor it's got the thin bezels that we've come to expect from LG on all sides which enhances the immersion factor it's got a 3840 by 2160 4k resolution with 315 a typical brightness and on the back it's got a textured white finish and a slim stand with 110 millimeters of hide adjust and 25 degrees of tilt which unfortunately we are not going to be able to see or use once we attach it to our crate case alright so as not necessarily an expert on you know creative workstations I've brought in well I think expert would be a strong word Dennis thank you for volunteering wait that's that person no I'm building this PC for no no surprise so if you guys watched recently Dennis did claim in his PC building simulator you know PC building debut that he could build a normal computer just fine it was limitations of the software that held him back I know how to be in real life I know how to do it of course of course so Dennis why don't you start us off here with our CPU so we're gonna be using a 79 80 Excel for several use I know you had you touch it no I know I know we can put it here oh oh okay there's no plastic thing okay yeah that's fine that's fine I feel like this is more like kindergarten class no I'm the triangle who's it this is trying I know this may be like that okay turn it no no no okay this way okay you put the size of a rice I've seen the video like a big rice bigger eyes yeah thick your eyes like bloated rice yeah cuz this is a big CPU that's what your rice looks like you see long rides I know yeah so you have to open the clip first I know I know I didn't do that in the videos but I know that's not oh that's an SSD no I know that I think that looks different this is the click sound just make a sound effect you know no okay stop it I'm not acting this is really hot out there I don't think you're acting oh no no no this way ha ha ha ha I know it Linus don't you I would never laugh at you I'm laughing with you got it got it got it more accurately I'm laughing with the viewers they are laughing they are learning how to be a PC with me yeah just like that just like can see building simulator good good collect okay uh how much time do we have in here we have we have four rims I don't want to do the math again okay ready now we add our HDR monitor so I can lay that down Boop not on any screws hopefully they do that wait wait doesn't fit is this something wait this doesn't go on that side that's okay nice this is like bad Oh guys going mm this is C you are wrong I said we were wrong IDI say you was right yes seems like such a waste to get rid of a like stand that looks like this for one that yeah compared to this like that but this way we can have the computer clipped onto it okay so you're gonna put it on and we're coming through this you're gonna do the honors make sure you got a good angle and Casey drops at Brennan at the very least we want to capture it on camera I'm not going to drop this for sure yes this is Ian wait it's not only the top is on you miss Luxx I was kind of it go no you missed out come can you look at it from the side do you see how the hooks go okay oh my god oh my god yes yes yeah your honor Wow so believe it or not this workstation is actually more powerful than your editing workstation really yep okay so we are making a couple of compromises we can't especially access the i/o which is kind of a shame because it's got two HDMI one DisplayPort all supporting HDR it's got a USB type-c with 60 watts of power so you can like run your laptop on the side actually that would be a pretty cool idea just having it plugged in permanently and just having like a wire like velcro here or something that you could run your laptop off it yeah but I mean you lose height adjust and stuff but still one piece full workstation now it's time for us to test out the HD arnis we made our own all-in-one Dennis yeah okay let's find out how good it is for productivity then wow it's actually better than my editing machines is check out that that real-time 8k footage scrubbing in full at full not bad eh keep playing you can really see my hair thinning at 8k so what we're looking at here is a testing code at 4k for upload to YouTube and wow that is really darn speedy sorry Dennis but this is way better than your machine so we're making this for the new designers there his desktop background desktop desktop desk desktop there you go and once he saw this he will know why we need to hire him there's a new desktop get that picture google it it's I just have it on my phone what is this what you also have a vessel actually yes and why Wow now given this as a workstation it's probably not going to come up that often but other than playing back HDR videos HDR gaming is one of the biggest use cases for HDR and you can clearly see that it's working in Deus Ex mankind divided here this benchmark looks noticeably better on an HDR display than it does on an SDR display now with that said in HDR mode sometimes you do run into some odd behavior like for example this thumbnail for Austin's iPhone 10 video which happens to be an HDR video is not HDR so like the thumbnail looks weird but then the video itself is gonna be running in HDR so there you have it overall I'm really pleased with this nice compact little workstation that we managed to put together it is definitely a little bit on the heavy side but you can't really blame the monitor for that I guess that's why they stopped making cases out of thick steel or cast iron or whatever else the case may be we ended up with really nice cable management and hopefully they really liked it and are especially proud of having a system built by the one and only Dennis V ow it worked so it's fine I think you will love it so thanks for
