- Hello and welcome to Mystery Tech.
Hopefully you're finding this episode
to be thoroughly delightful.
No, stop! No! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
At least you didn't throw it this time.
Oh no. Wait, is this a Gigabyte M28U monitor?
- [Ken] Don't break it this time.
(SMPTE color screen sound effect)
- [Austin] I'm just. (giggling)
(wailing)
Oh my God!
- [Ken] You.
(SMPTE color screen sound effect)
- [Ken] If you do break it.
- You have this second monitor?
- [Ken] And if you break that one.
The FI32U, a third monitor.
- [Ken] You break that one.
- It's okay.
Is there another one?
The 43U! Did you just bring in four Gigabyte Aorus monitors?
How much are four Gigabyte Aorus monitors?
- [Ken] Well, they're sponsoring today's video so,
well for us nothing!
- Oh boy, this is great news.
This is the M28U. So this is a 4K display.
Like all these monitors,
they will do 120 Hertz over HDMI 2.1
which is especially important.
If you're using a PS5 or an Xbox Series X.
But if you connect it to a PC over display port,
you can get all the way up to 4K, 144 Hertz.
I'm going to open this up from the front
and I'm going to hope it comes out very smoothly.
- [Ken] Is that really the way?
- Yeah, it is the way, because the top doesn't open.
There are instructions on the top,
but I'm not going to read them.
Okay. Ready? And that's fine.
That's the way that's supposed to be done. Okay.
Why hello friends! Look at my fine new setup.
So with the power of the KVM built inside my monitor,
I can very quickly go from the incredibly smooth 140 Hertz
on the windows side with one single button press.
It will then flip over to the USBC on the MacBook.
Now you can plug in a wide variety of different devices,
but the real idea here behind the KVM is, not only can you
switch inputs between different computers
but you can also move your devices.
So now if I start moving my mouse around,
I will have the ability to control it on the MacBook.
Same thing if I want to pull up something I can now type,
"this is a bad idea. This is Ken's PC."
I don't want to search on that.
Then we can step up to the FI32U.
This is a 32 inch display which still does 4K.
It still does 120 Hertz over HDMI 2.1
or 144 over display port.
But this has some major new features.
So first and foremost it is look,
I'm going to say it, it's a big chungus.
I just said it. Look I didn't want to say it,
but I had to say it, right.
This is a huge display, but
because it has so many cool features, it really does pop.
So not only do you have the excellent image quality, right?
Which we'll get into in a second,
but you also have the RGB Fusion on the back,
including on the stand.
And one of my favorite features is it has a Hi-Fi DAC.
Let's listen to the Hi-Fi DAC. Shall we?
♪ We should be dancing, romancing in the kitchen ♪
♪ In the east wing and the west wing ♪
♪ Of this mansion, what's happening? ♪
♪ I ain't playing no games ♪
Next we have the Aorus FV43U.
- [Ken] Where did you come from?
- Improved tactical gaming monitor
with a massive 43 inch large format gaming display still 4K,
still 144 Hertz or 120 Hertz for our console friends.
But this is where gaming gets serious.
This looks ridiculous!
Another thing this monitor has going for it is a
blisteringly bright 1000 nits of brightness!
So for context right now, we're recording this at
I believe it's a 10% brightness? No, 17% brightness.
Okay. Ready to crank it to 100?
- [Ken] Oh boy.
- 1000 nits of brightness activate!
- [Ken] Oh my God.
- Woo! This is 1000 nits of gaming glory.
I oh, oh, ah, woo! Oh, thank you, Matt.
I need sunglasses because the 1000 nits of brightness.
Actually know what the sunglasses help.
This looks now great. And to round out
our glorious quintet of Gigabyte Aorus monitors.
We have the biggest of them all.
The brand new FO48U OLED display. Yes my friends!
I said, OLED not "NO-LED", not "Old LED", OLED.
Which means that not only are you going to get some of
the most pristine image quality possible,
but you're getting a package which is custom designed for
not only consoles like our slightly modified PlayStation
Five and Xbox Series X but of course, for the PC as well.
What I would love to let you listen to
is the space audio that is built in
to actually all of the monitors
but I think it sounds best on the 48.
(space audio plays)
Not only do you have 98%.
DCI-P3 color space covered and 130% of sRGB
which makes it great for content creation.
But you also have the incredibly high quality panel,
which makes the HDR10 look great. And on top of that, nah,
I'm forgetting something. What am I forgetting right now?
- [Matt] Still 120 Hertz.
- Oh yeah. 120 Hertz.
I've never had my eyes treated better than with this amazing
selection of Gigabyte Aorus monitors
which you can check out the links in the description.
Big thank you to Gigabyte Aorus for sponsoring this
episode of Mystery Tech. Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to go game on all four of these displays at once.
(upbeat music)
- Never take your eyes off the target.
- [Matt] What are you doing?
Never take your eyes off the target, Matt.
- [Matt] What are you doing?
- Got it.
Got it.
- Welcome to Mystery Tech and the Razer (unintelligible)
The Razer..
- [Matt] Anzu!
- Anzu, thank you very much. The Razer Anzu Smart Glasses.
Low latency audio, oh!
These kinds of things have been around. In fact,
I actually think we took a look
at one of these kinds of things on Mystery Tech once.
Some glasses with some speakers or whatever.
But this is from our friends over at Razer who I'm sure
have done a much better job and have delivered a high
quality gaming component.
I like how you got me the large glasses.
I'm not sure if you're trying to tell me I have a big head
or my face is just too much for one person to love.
- [Matt] Are you not the model for "Mars Attacks!"? Hah!
- What?
So I might have a little challenge
actually using these without having to put
my regular glasses on underneath.
- [Ken] Let me see your glasses.
- No.
- [Matt] No, let me.
- Don't break my, I don't have any other pairs of glasses.
If you break those, I'm going to be blind.
That's just it. You just took off my glasses.
Is that the whole gag? You, I just can't see now.
- [Ken] Yeah.
- Oh, there's two things.
Okay. Look at all this stuff I need to read now.
Well, I've got to say that's a beefy glasses case.
It's beefy just because the glasses are beefy. Okay.
Oh, it's already trying to pair.
Do I look cool?
How do I look right now?
- [Matt] How do you somehow look nerdier?
- [Ken] If you Stand outside long enough with those on
someone will just walk up and bully you.
- [Matt] I mean, I feel like bullying right now.
- We're upgrading the firmware of my glasses.
- [Matt] Great.
- You know what? I am a compulsive updater.
Have I ever talked about this before?
We can be like right about to start filming a video.
And I see like some bios update. I just got to do it.
I can't, I can't not update my things.
- [Ken] You just don't hit the later button.
No, I actually very regularly hit the yes, do it now.
And I'll wait 30 minutes and watch the progress bar.
- [Ken] I'm like six months behind on Mac OS updates.
- That makes me uncomfortable.
I'm a little itchy hearing that.
How much are the Razer Anzu gaming glasses?
- [Ken] They're probably like 200 bucks.
- [Matt] $200.
- Oh, okay. Well hopefully they sound really good.
We're up to date so you can completely customize.
So single press to play, double tap, triple tap,
et cetera, et cetera. It's all fine. It makes sense.
EQ, we want to do default and that's pretty much it.
So let's listen to some music,
and see what these things sound like.
(rap music begins and pauses)
I did it. You have to press that very hard.
Wait, okay.
The touch controls are a little bit weird.
- [Ken] Yeah, I would look at you weird on the train.
And then bully you and take your money.
- I mean, they don't sound great.
It sounds like I'm listening to a Bluetooth speaker
like on the table.
It's good, but it's not, it's, I would say it's acceptable.
Okay.
How about I set these down on the table
and see what they sound like.
Oh yeah, you can definitely hear those.
All right. That's not great.
- So I've tried the Bose Smart Frames.
I've tried the Echo Frames or whatever they are.
These sound the best. I mean,
you definitely get a lot of volume out of them, but yeah,
- [Austin] Yeah.
- But, yeah you can't get around that bleeding, huh?
- And it makes for gaming though, right?
If you're just like, especially with that low latency mode.
If you just don't need necessarily like,
an amazing audio experience but
you just want to be able to hear your game
in a sort of crowded area or something.
- Look, all I know is if I'm seeing someone playing
some Call of Duty Mobile or Pub G Mobile at the pool
and I hear gunshots coming out of these headphones.
(laughing)
- You would.
- I mean these glasses. I would definitely get annoyed
at the person I'm sitting next to
or probably even a couple of seats down at the pool.
- Yeah.
- That that's just way too loud.
- [Austin] These are kind of cool.
I get the fact that, you know, gaming glasses,
smart glasses, but essentially what these things are,
are Bluetooth headphones that are just in the glasses
that point towards your ears. That's really what they are.
And yes, it's nice.
They come with like polarized lenses. Sweet.
But I mean, as someone who needs actual prescription lenses,
that's a major concern and I just scratched up the lens
probably. So I'm just going to put that back.
(groaning)
Sorry, Matt.
- Now your future stolen razor glasses are going to have
mildly scratched sunglass lenses.
Is this the Xbox Mystery Tech?
Hello Welcome to the Xbox series X.
The latest in cutting edge gaming console.
Did I get scammed by buying this Xbox
or something this time?
Is there a PS5 built into the back of this wonderful monitor
or is there a generic brown box on the table? Okay.
- [Ken] This is, this is for us.
- What do you mean this is for us? This is for you.
- [Ken] Open it.
- [Ken] No it's for us. It's for us for the office.
- Oh, an Xbox controller. Okay.
- [Ken] I don't know if you know a thing or two
about a certain Design Lab.
- Oh, this is the Design Lab Series X controller.
Okay. All right, all right all right.
I was very confused for a moment. So did you design this?
- [Ken] Yes
- Okay, I am slightly excited and slightly concerned,
which is a great combination for this video.
Oh, all right!
That's a good colorway friends.
Oh, you've got a little slash slash overclock on it too.
- [Ken] Yeah.
- Cool! You know what this reminds me of?
A little bit of the colorway;
do you remember the PubG, the KFC Chicken controller?
The greaseproof like limited edition controller that we did
on one of the first episodes of Mystery Tech.
It gives me a little bit of that vibe. You got the orange,
you got the yellow, you got the red.
It'll also have a little bit of splash of black on the back.
So if you're not familiar with Design Lab.
Essentially, what this is,
is a full customization service for Xbox controllers.
It's generally speaking, not that expensive.
I want to say it's like $10 more
then buying a regular stock controller.
- [Ken] It's Significantly less
than paying someone to mod it for you.
- [Austin] Absolutely.
And you get a pretty wide range of different customization
options. I will say as much as I do like this,
the Dual Sense still to me,
is kind of like a step forward. I mean,
this is a good generic controller
that will work across the board,
but some of the custom features like the triggers
and the actual motion controls inside, or, sorry,
not the motion, but like...
- [Matt] The touch?
- No, no, like the actual, vibration
and like how much sort of depth you get in that.
On the Dual sense does still to me
make it a more impressive controller.
Also it has a batteries included.
So F1 is downloading right now.
I think F1 also will run at 120 FPS.
Which is perfect for my high quality 32 inch Gigabyte Aorus
display with 4K 120 capability at HDMI 2.1.
Doesn't it look nice?
Can't you see the high quality
original Xbox background I have?
What more could you really ask for?
So this is my first time playing F1 2021, which...
Wow that's fast, that's very fast.
I believe this should run at
pretty good frame rates as well.
I'm going to, I'll play on the side.
- [Ken] Lights on and away they go. I like the HUD.
- [Austin] I mean this looks incredibly nice!
- [Ken] The HUD looks better than before.
- [Austin] It looks great. So smooth,
on my high quality Aorus display.
Oh, look at that. That's much nicer now.
- [Ken] Oh wow.
- [Austin] What the, oh! (exclaiming) What was that?
Okay you know what? So here's the thing.
The controller is great.
I just think I just need a little bit of warm up. You know,
I just need a little bit of practice.
I think now I'm ready to do this for real
and show you my F1 2021 skills.
That's really what I needed the game was installing. So,
I mean, I just need a little bit of time.
Okay. I just need a little bit of time.
(tranquil music)
E-bay? Are they Pokemon cards?
- [Matt] No!
- Oh, okay. This feels like
a very heavy pair of jeans cause it's floppy,
but I can feel a little bit of texture inside.
These are jeans. These are actual jeans.
I called it.
Oh no, is it that stupid Levi thing?
The smart jacket or whatever?
(laughing)
All right. So this might look like a regular jean jacket,
but inside this is actual tech because this has
Bluetooth capabilities.
I have many questions first and chief among them.
This was not cheap.
I know this was like a couple hundred dollars
new or something. Right.
And based on the fact that it came out of an E-bay bag,
I'm going to guess that it was slightly more than that on
the resale market.
- [Ken] How much do you think it was?
- I think it was $280.
- [Ken] Well, I think, I paid $120 for it.
- Oh, look at that.
That's actually like, I mean,
these jackets actually are fairly expensive by staying
connected to your digital world.
Your things could do so much more.
Skip a song by swiping your sleeve.
Take a picture by tapping on a shoulder strap.
To remind you about the phone
you left behind with a haptic buzz on your cuff.
So it's not like there's a speaker in here or anything.
This is basically like a glorified Bluetooth controller.
- [Ken] This is for Android people because
they don't have an apple watch.
- Wow. Is this a men's size?
- [Man] Are you a man's size?
- I think so.
It feels like I'm my armpits are being pinched right now.
Oh, I found the link.
Levi's Commuter. It's a fake button here.
I see a fake button. I've discovered something.
I don't know what it seems like
I'm supposed to connect something to this.
So apparently according to the site,
it uses the Jacquard Tag.
Are you trying to tell me right now that you bought the
jacket without the Jacquard Tag.
which makes it a cool smart jacket.
(vocalizing)
That was some serious force man.
I'm just over your mind in my business.
And I get smacked in slow motion
with a Levi Jacquard jacket.
This is the original one.
- [Ken] Yeah.
- Okay. Is there.
You almost knocked my coffee all over the floor.
I hope you know that.
- [Ken] You almost knocked it over
- I have things in my hand.
So this is what you're supposed to get when you purchase the
Levi Commuter Jacquard by Google box.
Okay. So the jacket looks the same.
We have a USB dongle of some variety, the snap tag.
- [Ken] I only got that box just for the dongle.
- [Austin] So I'm going to attach this
to the little snap here and then
I just need to tuck this in it's actually. Yeah, that works.
According to the app set up. When I plug it in,
it's supposed to like flash blue, but it is not doing that.
It does just say. Jacket found, could not connect.
- Ken?
- [Ken] Mhm?
- Can I borrow you for a moment?
- So we have given this little module
two full days to charge.
We plugged in before it was showing blinking red.
Now, without any further ado, we're going to find out,
does it work ready? And...
Well that's anticlimactic. Did we just,
- Here, let me try.
- [Ken] It literally does nothing.
- [Austin] This thing has been charging for two days.
You know it's still a jacket right? You know, it's still.
That thing can go in the garbage.
- Oh yeah, these jackets are cool.
- Jackets are cool.
We can go out on the town. Friday night, hit the,
hit the clubs.
- We would go out on the town Friday night,
but Austin said that he had things to do,
like go to his wife.
- Yeah.
It's okay. I'll just give her your jacket.
And then she and I would go out to the club.
- The world's lamest couple.
- Wow.
- That was a little out of pocket friend.
- [Ken] Out of pocket?
Oh my God. This is like a straight jacket.
