Hello, this is Choi Pan Goods. Today, I have brought a product that MacBook users cannot help but be interested in. It is the 276m 01 4K monitor recently released by Point Product. Point Product positions its products by category, distinguishing them by name and appearance. If there was the GM series in gaming products, the U series I brought today can be seen as an all-rounder monitor. I highly recommend it not only to Mac users but also to Windows users, so you can look forward to it. Now, let's begin. In terms of overall appearance, you can see a clean design with a matte black frame, which does not cause any interference when viewing the screen. There is no logo on the front, which is the signature design of Point Product. The side frame is also amazing. As I mentioned in the GM series, [Continued in next segment...]

We have brought the emotion that can be felt on the display. It has a metal frame with angular design, and it is truly moving when you see it again. The side with no logo has a angular frame made of metal material. When looking at it, it is clear that the creator shares the same genes as us. Looking at the back, the finish on the mount part that combines with the stand is quite good. There are many products roughly made in this area, but there is a clear difference with other brand products in terms of being handmade and domestically produced. While you can see RGB, the lineup is differentiated by RGB colors. The GM series is blue, the PM series is gray, and the UM series is red. It seems that more diverse lineups will be added in the future, so I look forward to it. If the LED is disturbing, you can turn it off in the OSD menu and use it. The port configuration includes one power port, one DP 1.2 port, two HDMI 2.0 ports, one USB-C port, one B-type upstream port, and one A-type port.

You can see two downstream ports and an audio port, and you can also see buttons for the OSD menu. It's not a jog style, so there were some uncomfortable parts, but once set, it was okay because you don't have to touch it much. When you look at the stand, you can connect it to the display without any tools, and functionally, elevation, tilt, and swivel were all possible. The available range was quite good, and the finish and design were overall cohesive and well done. The stand design is in a V shape, with a suitable weight and size, so there were no major unstable or uncomfortable parts when placed on a desk. Now, let's take a look at why this product is cost-effective by examining the specs one by one. It's amazing, really. Please watch until the end. First, you can see the 4K resolution and IPS panel. If it's a cost-effective monitor, it must be 4K resolution.

You just have to think about it. Below that resolution, the text is blurry, so readability is significantly reduced. Activating HiDPI can cause issues in the resolution section, and using apps like Better Display can somewhat improve it, but it can be quite bothersome and cumbersome. It's better for your mental health to go straight to 4K from the beginning. Some might say it's because 4K monitors are expensive and unaffordable, but this product is in the 300,000 won range. Let me also talk about the panel. There are three main types of panels: IPS, VA, and TM. Each panel has its own pros and cons. If you want to go for a professional monitor, you must go for IPS Pro without a doubt. The reason is the viewing angle. Due to the nature of monitor structures, as you move from the center to the periphery, the viewing angle distorts, affecting color accuracy significantly. Therefore, IPS panels, which have an advantage in viewing angles, are always essential for professional monitors.

I came here. This way, you can share undistorted information not only when working alone but also when working with clients or colleagues next to you. This is where the IPS panel comes in, satisfying these aspects perfectly. With the added non-glare panel, there won't be any reflections of light or the user's face in the surroundings. Currently, even on the Apple Studio Display, they have added nano-texture glass to provide a non-glare function. The additional cost is only 400,000 won. Do you know how cost-effective this product is? But here, let me tell you something really important. When it comes to the point of the product, LG is now famous for using the same panel. Just like the nano IPS panel used in the gaming monitor last time, this product also naturally uses the same panel. It is completely identical to the panel used in the LG 27GP850N product. I really want to check if this is true.

I also brought LG products. I opened both products to check, and found out that they both use BOE panels. One thing you might be curious about is, Why is it a BOE panel instead of an LG panel? You may wonder about this. LG doesn't only use LG panels. However, it doesn't mean they just use any panel without care. The BOE panel used by LG is from a company that is ranked first in the world for LCD panels. You don't need to worry much about the quality. This product maintains the same quality as LG while also being competitively priced. Just by looking at this, you can see that this brand doesn't just produce products carelessly. They plan each step properly and strive continuously to make it happen. This is not just advertising; it's a fact.

I was really worried about it, please keep an eye on this brand as it is expected to grow significantly in the future. Next, when it comes to a monitor, a must-have feature is a USB-C cable that can both charge PD and connect to the display at the same time. Once you try this, you can never go back. After work, coming home, and having to install a charger, plug in a hub, it's too mentally burdensome that you might not even open your bag. However, by simply plugging in one USB cable, you can do both charging and more work at home the next day without worrying about the battery. Looking at the performance metrics, it shows sRGB 100% and DCI-P3 95%, indicating that it is optimized for design, photos, and video work. I've tried this kind of work in Photoshop or Lightroom, and compared it to the Apple Studio Display I am currently using.

It doesn't make sense in itself, but considering the price, this product is really good. When I used a monitor from another brand in the mid-low price range before, the color correction was significantly different when I moved it to an iPhone, and the color reproduction was not that good, so I lost interest in photo correction. However, using this monitor as the main one for a month, I didn't feel those aspects, so I can recommend it to this extent. When it comes to settings, let me say one thing. When you connect it, the monitor profile is created and set by default. It's best to use it without adjusting here. Adjusting the color profile settings can be tricky as it may show overly saturated colors, so it's intended to be slightly lowered. For example, if you show all the brightness to someone who only watches SGB content, it may feel uncomfortable.

If you choose an sRGB profile, I will show you only that part. However, this rarely happens. We use it in various situations like watching movies, working on documents, editing or correcting photos, and even web surfing. When you use the default settings, macOS automatically adjusts the color space. Comparing it with regular office monitors doesn't make sense. Typically, for office monitors, many people set a price range of around 200,000 won instead of spending a large amount of money. It's better to spend a little more money to purchase a proper monitor. Lastly, I used it for gaming as well. You can't just work all the time. Even though it's an office monitor, it has gaming genes, so functions like Black Equalizer, Aim Point Mode, G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync are included.

There is also a premium quality. Although the refresh rate is 60Hz, the 4K high resolution is excellent, so it was usable to some extent. It has two built-in 4W 4Ω speakers, and it's better to have them than not. Now, regarding the cons, first, it was a bit inconvenient that the port direction is facing downwards. When operating the monitor's OSD menu, it may take some time to get used to the joystick dial instead. Once you get used to it, if you try to readjust later, you might forget and have to get used to it again. This part was the most regrettable. Lastly, when using the monitor arm, the mount part being round-shaped was not very compatible. It would be better to use a monitor arm that comes from the same brand if possible. In conclusion, I can say it is the ultimate cost-effective 4K monitor. It would be great for connecting to a Mac Mini for video editing and photo.

I have utilized it in all aspects such as editing documents, web surfing, and watching OTT, and there was no discomfort at all in terms of screen brightness or color. I have purchased various products for Mac sub-monitors for a long time and traveled a bit. Listing each one by one is a bit cumbersome, so I'll just say that this product is simply the best. Even on a Windows desktop, I can't really figure out any major inconveniences no matter how much I ponder. I tried to force myself to find something, but this product is just top-notch. The high-end brand does a great job, and even in terms of after-sales service, you might worry, but it has been verified that they respond very quickly and kindly based on the reviews of buyers of gaming monitor products. That's all for the video I prepared. There are some trial goods available. Thank you.
