by 1080 resolution and that's really

size demonstrations of what its gonna
look like when you're gonna print it out
so that those professionals that need to
hit target like target sizes for pages

it's like the cult that screen matches
that the color reproduction is really
good the quick fit feature is more so

remember at CES that you know our homie
JJ was rambling about the speakers yeah
these things are like a lot of people
say Oh speakers and monitors that's just
plain crap but I understand these things
were actually supposed to be like really
good right yeah so as far as the
monitors go I think this is gonna be one
of the best set of speakers that I've
ever heard on a monitor you're gonna be
your base left two three watt speakers
and the two-channel five watt amplifier
inside and the whole audio system was
co-developed with Bang & Olufsen ice
power so it really gives you that great
great great sound and you can go ahead
and turn it up and you'll get some you
will even get a little bit of bass out
of it really impressive and what we've
gone ahead and do gotten ahead and done
so you can take advantage even further
