Hey all, today we’re taking a look at this KTC 1440p monitor. Let’s unbox it and take a look. On this layer we have our accessories: an HDMI cable, part of the stand, a power adapter, and the base to the stand, which is quite light. We’ll open it up — there’s the panel itself. Here are the ports: a DC in for the power adapter, DisplayPort, HDMI, a USB port labelled “service,” and an earphone plug. There also seems to be a Kensington lock.
Let’s get this onto the stand and take a look. Here’s the panel, there’s the base — it just sits in there like that, and then we slide this on. I’ll flip that around so you can see, but it just slides in there. The panel can rotate a little bit.
I can’t tell if there’s a protective layer on this screen. I don’t think there is, but there are some smudges already on there, which is interesting. Let’s see if we can wipe those off with a microfibre. This came right off — it just looks like some marks from shipping, no actual issues.
Now we’ll plug it in. Here’s the power adapter. I have it plugged into my computer and we can see it is indeed 1440p. The next thing we’re going to do is look at it in some different viewing angles. I’m also going to play a 4K 60 frames per second video and look at it in different angles. This is a test video called Big Buck Bunny, licensed under the Creative Commons licence, meaning it is fine for me to use here. There’s some information here about this test footage that we’re showing.
It looks very nice. Again, this is a 4K image being squished down to this 1440p display. Let’s look at some other viewing angles. Here is what it looks like from this angle. Here’s what it looks like from this angle. Here’s what it looks like from that angle. And here’s what it looks like from that angle.
All right, let’s test the lighting in a few different ways. We’ll turn on a front light. The monitor display is quite bright. There’s a reflection showing up in the recording here, but I actually don’t really see that in person — it seems to be more of an artifact of the recording. It looks pretty good. We’ll turn on a backlight, and it holds up really well. Again, I know you see a reflection here, but in person I don’t see it — just an artifact of the recording. I’m not sure why, but it is holding up really good in brightness. Let me turn on some more lights. I don’t see any reflection.
This is a very affordable monitor and I’m really happy. It’s already exceeded my expectations. What I’m going to do now is put it in vertical orientation because I plan to use this as my secondary screen and I like having that vertical. Let’s just put it onto my VESA mount stand and see how it looks.
I have this third party VESA mount and we’re going to attach it now. Okay, so the third party mount is installed, and now we’ll pick it up and put it on my desk. This is the orientation I plan on using the display. Here is my existing display, and here is the new KTC monitor. This was an upgrade from a 1080p display, and I’m very happy with it. It’s doing its job perfectly fine, and I’ll be using it as a vertical monitor, mostly for code and chats.
Viewing angles are good, it looks good in a vertical orientation, and I’m very happy with it. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you liked the video, and I’ll see you next time. Bye.
