The MONOPRICE Gaming Setup! #Helpful Post

today's video was actually inspired by

one of our four members because people

like to watch stuff get thrown at you

so thanks stab your face for

recommending that we do the amazonbasics

thing again with monoprice stuffs to

have your face that's the username and

well know it's only two words it's stab

your face got it and what is this

look at that spoilers you'll find out

soon enough

and this model price gaming adventure is

brought to you by Tory blogs wellhouse

expecting you to same can't tell you

that's a spoiler two story blocks video

offers you studio quality stock video

clips for a fraction of the price check

them out at the link in the video

description

so the premise is pretty simple yet

again we basically went on a monoprice

shopping spree not because they paid us

or we even particularly like those guys

to be perfectly frank with you I don't

slide it too much oh it doesn't have a

thief feed on the bottoms of this thing

will screw up your desk Wow and

potentially your day cheese you've you

know you've as you get that so obviously

this is a dual monitor stand yeah if you

somehow want to put your dual monitor as

vertically okay so what are the specs of

this puppy this is a 2560 by 1440 P 144

Hertz freesync monitor 34 Hertz yes not

bad it also has some kind of quantum

dots and I tested the colors and they're

actually pretty good over 99% coverage

of srgb okay and how much did we pay for

one of these 400 bucks so this was the

$36 mechanical field keyboard yeah which

didn't impress us much yeah mush City so

it's a 10 keyless and it uses at Emma

brown switches how much do I pay for the

privilege of attending grounds two

dollars more than that one thirty-eight

dollars total and even though this one

has the double shot injected keys that

light can shine through

yeah it's there's no backlight it's not

RGB and this Amazon one is RGB did you

hear that backspace when I hit it the

key stabilization so bad Oh

I'd take this I'd give up my number pad

I'd give up my backlighting I'd give up

my macro keys but then I type more than

I game and when it comes to just lwas

being around back when I used to game a

lot

honestly I used to membrane keyboard

anyway so yeah but now you have taste

Wow

it doesn't have a forward button please

tell me this is programmable I felt a

lot of review thing it's not you know

what this thing sucks and I hate it one

thing it has is weight you can change

the weight although it says push it

actually means pull or push on this this

is actually a cylinder stack a little

weight tuning disc holy crap Brendan

check this out so my gut feeling on the

pixel response time motion blur look at

the trails behind the banner on the ltte

website as I move it around that is

disgusting Wow see that I thought it was

like an indoor parallax effect of the

website no that is horrendous ever seen

that in my life so that's what happens

when you take a panel that doesn't have

adequate pixel response times for the

refresh rate you're running and just

overclock the snot out of the refresh

rate the worst part we aren't even at

144 Hertz yet but this is one of those

examples of monitor specs being

misleading it's like yeah 140 40 Hertz

get your gaming gaming this is not gonna

be an amazing gaming experience what

keep at me hope right so their bread and

butter is cables yeah so here we have

healing so many mana price cables this

is a mana price DisplayPort cable and

way too much money this is an

amazonbasics DisplayPort cable

the monoprice one better be cheaper

because this is a really old housing

style with the the button lock this is

the one that we had already oh just buy

it we didn't just want to behold it

no remember how in the Amazon video

you're like why did you buy this we have

a million of these yes well now I see

how it was not necessarily better to do

it the other way thank you James for

illuminating that for me so there's two

types

this is the ultra slim one yeah that's

four feet for ten dollars and this one

is the premium one which is six feet for

650 bring me on this cheaper than ultra

slim right that's probably just good

because yeah this is cheaper to

manufacture or you can get a nice

braided wonderful Mavs on basics six

feet for eight dollars

I like this slim one really lightweight

and it actually makes no difference for

a digital signal to have a premium cable

that's thicker braided or whatever else

having this nice lightweight wire much

easier to manage super flexible - I like

this one mono price is actually fairly

well known for their headphones headsets

at least that's my understanding so

these are they're $90 active

noise-cancelling gaming headphones yeah

interesting let's have the unboxing

experience here my friends you can put

your nametag in here put like a business

card in there so somebody could wait

what they're actually a spot to put it

oh yeah there we go those are from this

side okay oh but you could take it out

if you want so if nothing else you've

got a hook and loop business card holder

even if the headphones are complete

garbage and you hate them so you've got

these inline controls and I like that

it's got that soft touch fish yeah they

would have done well to put this same

finish on the mouse these buttons are

very rudimentary buttons these are these

are cheap buttons so they're USB to

power the active noise canceling but

audio is actually handled via analog is

that correct so it looks like oh that's

an unfortunate position for the inline

control this thing is heavy

whoa these are clampy yes no length

adjustment on the microphone you know

what I actually kind of like the bit of

resistance to the articulation of the

ear cups though because it means that

they're not constantly like fighting you

and that active noise-cancelling is

basically just like someone going in

your ears you're trading HVAC for a hiss

well if you don't like the $90 premium

ones you'll love the thirty or I should

say $28 worst ones

oh wow these are these barely even have

padding in the top they're probably

better than what I was using for 28

bucks back when I was like first getting

into gaming but this is one of those

things where I'd really recommend saving

up or waiting for a Black Friday

promotion or something in our cheap

gaming headset roundup there were other

sets for twenty-five dollars that were

better they're done they're done I'm

giving these a recommendation over these

cuz for $90 you can get some pretty good

stuff whereas for like 30 bucks yeah you

can certainly get stuff that's a lot

better than this but like yeah I don't

recommend either none of what I just did

is should be construed as an endorsement

this is the mono price desk cover

modesty panel with wire management you

know your desk you're very privileged

there's a wall there but some people

might have you know other colleagues

desk cover modesty panels so you can man

spread without your privates exposed on

kilt date so what the idea is you hang

this off the back here desk with these

clips you actually screw this on to your

desk and then you just take your excess

cable and just like put it in your

pocket here well I think you've run it

in this way and there's these little

velcro that you could tie it in there

with

28 bucks 28 bucks yeah if it was me I'd

probably just get a tablecloth or like

would you believe it has no reviews on

Amazon I would personally I think it's

great if you're the type to stick your

boogers to the bottom side of your desk

David Ratcliffe how else can monoprice

improve my gaming experience today

Gaming I don't know but they have other

verticals that they specialize in like

smartphone stuff with their stitch line

Oh interesting what appears to be an

antenna switch droid Khan's so this is a

door window sensor when it gets opened

it'll make an audible beep but

apparently it's not that loud but in

addition you'll also get a notification

to your phone no matter where you are in

the world because it's Wi-Fi not just

Bluetooth so really today's theme is not

home security though and home automation

it's like your desk setup right so the

way that I see it you got something

really you know valuable in this drawer

here or something wait let's put

something valuable in that drawer yeah

so if I were to come in here and steal

yours hey oh there it is hey let's see

if I can get a tamper alarm pull off the

big one sure hey you tamper with my

stuff oh you are tampering nice that's

not a bad delay either bad boy I

probably should have given you this

earlier this is the monoprice 5 port

10/100/1000 megabit per second unmanaged

gigabit ethernet switch for $18.00

that's not even a great price actually

hey man it's got 5 ports even though the

product page says 8

and this has the fakest review ever it

says works great I love all monoprice

products I'd buy and they stand behind

the quality look I'm not saying I'm too

good to wear a headlamp I'm definitely

not too good to wear a headlamp I'm just

saying you got to have the top one

because these straps wear out and that's

what it'll actually hold it in place now

with that said this seems pretty alright

yeah so you can get a tp-link switch

with a metal housing for 14.99 with

prime this thing is done it's done it's

out its out it's done you don't blow you

just hum no another way other way why

don't the hell do they have this because

they sell music stuff I know you're

gonna do I show you I should have just

bought the 150 dollar guitar well I'll

be keeping that in my high-security

drawer lest anyone tried to steal it

from me that's a bargain to $8.26

although keep in mind 22% of people gave

it a one-star for not working at all

so for $65 i got us you know James I

think you're really stretching the

definition of desk accessories here what

are you talking about this is DIY phone

case dude I'm making a screen protector

right now I figure we're not

you're gonna vacuum seal your phone

alright where's the vacuum seal acumen

oh yeah baby

isn't this the vacuum er this is an

accessory hose

oh yeah he's pretty sealed I think you

just hit the release buttons now can you

use it oh yeah sure

let's see if my fingerprint sensor works

no hold on

no maybe fight okay nope no fingerprint

sensor let's try the iris scan come on

baby

can you work through that come on work

with me here no match can you please

keep your phone in there until the end

of the day but I can't use it can you

keep it in this your ranch oh no come on

please

no that's not me how am I supposed to

it's awesome looking good quick release

so overall then you know what I'm uh

actually kind of disappointed

so do you suppose I mean that you don't

think that Mona price is clearly better

than Amazon basics no I really don't

think I would say that at all I think

they come out ahead on the keyboard even

though these switches are really

inconsistent feeling but I just the

mouse isn't great the mouse pads alright

I think I'd have a pretty hard time

recommending this monitor

it's just nothing special stick the

cables monoprice yeah good cables

monoprice good cables and I mean this

thing seems alright to I guess you don't

know that speaking of seems alright our
