It has been more than a year since the last desktop, and the environment is not good, so this year only a simple update has been made to the desktop. The first is to add its own DIY hole board on the left wall, and move the charging cables, charging heads, headphones and other miscellaneous small pieces placed on the previous desktop to the hole board, and the cleanliness of the entire desktop has been greatly improved. The second is to update the display equipment, the original two refresh rates are 60Hz, the size of 27 inches and 25 inches respectively, replaced by the following style of the more matching pure white color Titan Legion C40MQG monitor.
What's in the Titan Legion C40MQG
1. Curved & large screen
The original use of 27 + 25 combination, so in the choice of display size, first of all, it is necessary to be full of enough principles, only in the case of a screen double open, can display two complete windows without dragging at the same time, in order to replace the original use habits very well. The 39-inch Titan Legion C40MQG can fully display the two windows under the double opening, and the use experience is closer to the original dual screen. Curved screens can also lead to a better immersive experience.
2. Resolution & high brush
The Titan Legion C40MQG screen has a resolution of QHD (2560*1440) specifications, a refresh rate of up to 165Hz, and supports Advanced-Sync and a 1ms response time. From these parameters, it is not difficult to find that this is a partial gaming display. In addition, the 8bit plus up to 99% sRGB color gamut also shows from one side that the comprehensive strength of the Titan Legion C40MQG is still relatively strong.
3. White theme and price
In addition to the above, the Titan Legion C40MQG is also one of the few white-themed monitors within 3,000 yuan, and the appearance is very compatible with my current desktop. The first time you choose this brand of monitor, you don't know if it will roll over, let's take a look at it.
First, unbox the sunbathing
The packaging of the Titan Legion display is quite stylish, the front side can see the front and back renderings of the Titan Legion C40MQG, and the left side is the Titan Legion brand logo. From the real picture below, it is not difficult to find that the packaging size of the Titan Legion C40MQG is still very large, which is smaller than the landlord's 1 meter 2 lifting table.
On the back, you can see several core selling points of the Titan Legion C40MQG, with a refresh rate of 165Hz, a 3000R screen curvature of 16:9 curved screen, a 178-degree wide viewing angle, an eye protection screen, a FreeSync and GamePlus function.
The relationship of the curved screen, in the packaging box will see "when installing the base, the machine is forbidden to take out the thyme, after installing the base, the machine is taken out of the pleylosaurus, standing on the desktop to insert the cable."
The interior adopts Phyllosaurus fixed, and the liftable quick-release bracket with cable management function on one side.
On the other side, there is a V-shaped base and a power cord and DP cable that are also in pure white color.
The entire lifting base is fixed by three screws, and the assembly is still very convenient.
After the combination of the lifting base, the material and structure are more reliable.
The interface part adopts a screw-free quick-install and quick-release structure.
The monitor body.
The circular quick-mount interface on the back of the fuselage supports 75*75 wall mounting in addition to supporting the standard bracket mode.
The use of screw-free quick installation design, the actual installation only needs a light press, you can quickly complete the installation, very convenient.
The Titan Legion C40MQG with the brackets mounted stability is quite good. In addition, the Titan Legion C40MQG bracket also supports functions such as up and down lift, left and right rotation and pitch adjustment. Among them, the range of up and down lifting is about 70mm.
The left and right rotation is about 15°.
The pitch angle is about -5° to 15°, and the whole adjustment range is still relatively large. However, the only place where this bracket is not very good is that it occupies a relatively large place, which is not only close to the end, but also occupies a depth of more than 20cm, so if the desktop space is relatively small, it is still recommended to use a professional monitor bracket that supports multi-angle adjustment, so that it can be more close to the wall.
Second, the appearance details
The design of the Titan Legion C40MQG is very distinctive, in addition to being able to see the obvious esports elements, the unique pure white color of the whole machine also adds a lot of points to this monitor. The front of the display adopts a 16:9, 2K (2560 * 1440) resolution, 3000R curvature, 8bit VA panel, the screen size of 38.5 inches, the overall size of 879.24 * 645.09 * 286.77mm.
In terms of other parameters, the Titan Legion C40MQG has a viewing angle of 178 degrees/178 degrees, a static contrast ratio of 3000:1, a 165Hz screen refresh rate, HDR400 and ≥ 350cd/m brightness. For displays of this size and price point, such parameters are still a bit competitive.
Probably the relationship between the curved screen, the titan legion C40MQG border uses a more traditional process, the width of the border is about 12mm.
The Titan Legion brand logo can be seen on the bottom border, and the blue protrusion below is the five-way multi-function key of the Titan Legion C40MQG, which integrates the menu functions of the power switch and monitor.
The screen curvature of the Titan Legion C40MQG is not very aggressive, and the surface of the R3000 can still enhance a lot of immersion in the viewing and gaming scenes.
Side border.
Compared with the more moderate design of the front, the back of the Titan Legion C40MQG will be more interesting, the full curve, the wall-mountable circular mounting port, the diagonal RGB light strip and the brand logo with lighting effect, the overall effect of the back of the Titan Legion C40MQG is still relatively colorful.
The strip supports a variety of lighting effects such as solid colors and marquee lights.
The brand logo with the same lighting effect on the base.
Open this magnetic cover on the back to see the Titan Legion C40MQG I/O interface.
From left to right, they are power supply, HDMI*2, DP*2 and Audio out. In addition to the multi-interface design to meet the needs of more devices to access at the same time, with the Titan Legion C40MQG comes with PIP/PBP, it can also realize picture-in-picture, picture-out and one-machine split screen or multi-machine screen.
Third, the quality of the screen
Let's take a look at the test results of the Green Spider. In terms of color gamut, the official data is 99% sRGB, 85% NTSC, 88% DCI-P3 and 83% Adobe RGB. The actual test results for the green spider were 100% sRGB, 78% for NTSC, 88% for P3, and 82% for AdobeRGB. From the test results, it is not difficult to find that in addition to the slight gap between NTSC, the color gamut parameters of other different standards are basically highly consistent.
The Test Photometric Curve of the Titan Legion C40MQG also highly overlaps with the standard 2.2 curve.
The brightness at 100% is about 34% higher than the official nominal ≥350cd/m, and in actual use, 100% brightness will still have a dazzling feeling, and normal use will generally be adjusted to about 60%. The white dot test results show 7000+, which is more consistent with the actual cold perception effect.
The following is the color contrast before and after the color calibration (the dynamic map pressure gives it more serious, the actual effect is very obvious), after the completion of the color calibration, the Titan Legion C40MQG, whether it is color temperature, color or hue, will have a significant improvement. For ordinary users, the Titan Legion C40MQG after the color calibration is still capable of some simple post-work.
4. OSD menu
The OSD control mode of titan legion C40MQG is very distinctive, using a single lever design, which is much easier to use than the button type, and the menu logic is more concise, which is a very efficient menu control design at this stage. In the power-on state, any operation in the four directions of the lever provides quick access to the Titan Legion C40MQG shortcut menu. One of the tap levers performs the switch operation of the Titan Legion C40MQG.
The front corresponds to the Crosshair mode of the Titan Legion C40MQG, where the color and crosshair type of the crosshair can be set for different games, which is very good for improving the game experience.
The latter corresponds to the RGB lighting effect of the Titan Legion C40MQG. Here you can change the color, intensity and mode of the light bar on the back of the monitor (the specific effect can be viewed in the appearance details section, which is displayed inside). It is said that the performance of the host with RGB blessing is increased by 50%, so if you calculate it, after the Titan Legion C40MQG has blessed the light bar, there should be more or less a bonus, right?
To the left corresponds to the Titan Legion C40MQG scenario mode, mainly contains standard, pictures, movies, games, FPS and RTS and other applications, the actual use, only need to quickly select according to the classification, OSD will automatically adjust the brightness / contrast and color and other parameters according to the corresponding scenario mode.
To the right is the main interface of the Titan Legion C40MQG, where we can complete the input selection, brightness/contrast, color adjustment and a series of other settings. In the overall experience, the OSD menu function of the Titan Legion C40MQG is very comprehensive, and the places that can be adjusted are also very rich, which is very suitable for advanced users.
Fifth, the use experience
At the beginning, it was also said that the main use of this monitor is to play and watch movies, and the following is a simple analysis of this monitor based on the combination of these two aspects. For most gamers, the refresh rate brings far more to the game than the impact of screen size and resolution, which is why many professional e-sports monitors tend to have a high refresh rate, but the resolution is still maintained at 1080P.
As a first-time user using a high-brush display, the feeling from low brush to high brush is particularly obvious. In the past, when playing computer games, as long as it was a dynamic screen, more or less you could see the afterimage. After changing to 165Hz, the afterimage is almost invisible, and the biggest feeling is that the picture details are obviously more. In a simple experience, the Titan Legion C40MQG's curved surface, large screen, high brush, Adaptive-Sync and 1ms response time bring a good gaming experience.
The Titan Legion C40MQG with a 39-inch large screen is also a good experience to pair with a game console. The landlord here outside the switch of the National Bank version, did not listen to the advice, the head of a hot bought the Bank of China version, the result is "snapping" face, can finish the game is too few, and most of them are digital versions, follow the game console out of the second-hand words are not worth a few dollars. Some time ago, I took it (two words omitted here), the money was saved, the games were more, and everything was comfortable.
Playing the game really has to be an external monitor to feel more. Judging from the experience of this period of time, although the hardware of the Switch is not the strongest, it is definitely a unique existence of several mainstream game consoles.
The large screen also brings a good viewing experience, coupled with the blessing of HDR, in watching blockbusters, especially some films with more dark scenes, the overall experience is much better than the original 27 inches.
Sixth, write at the end
As the landlord's first monitor to reach a size of 39 inches, the Titan Legion C40MQG has obvious advantages over disadvantages. White theme color matching and good appearance design, the overall appearance is still relatively high. 39 inches, 2K, curved, 165Hz brush rate and good screen quality, Titan Legion C40MQG should also be considered one of the more good choices at this price.
Of course, if you are a text worker, the PPI of this monitor is a bit low, and I personally still don't recommend it. If your application is mainly based on games and video, this monitor is still quite suitable.
