Tryx Panorama 360 SE AIO Review
Conclusion
Conclusion
It isn’t often we stare at the page somewhat dumbstruck. After all, describing the experience is what we do. If you look at the Tryx Panorama SE as you’re scrolling a shop it would be easy to assume it’s a show pony. That big screen distracting from the performance woes. Or maybe being a fairly unknown brand rather than one of the heavy hitters would put you off. Who cares about a screen when you need cooling? Oh ye of little faith.
The Tryx Panorama SE manages to leave us open mouthed. It makes an immediate impact. Even running the default video loop it impresses. Tailored to your wants it’s hard to look away from. Okay so it looks good. Big deal. Scarlett Johansson and Henry Cavill also look great but we aren’t asking them to cool our CPU. Then you run a few testing benchmarks. Something to make the CPU hot. The Tryx Panorama SE just shrugs and gets on with the business of cooling things. It is massively impressive. Temperatures stay low. Fans stay quiet. It’s fast reacting. In short, you come away talking about the cooling prowess more than the screen.
It’s that good.
Niggles
Adding stuff one at a time to the media library is pretty tedious. It’s nice that the software quickly resizes video, but also it takes about the same amount of time to crop images too. Bear in mind that if you choose the vertical orientation then finding media will be really hard unless you seek out phone content. Games and films are 16:9 not the 2:1 of the Tryx Panorama SE screen, so 1:2 is like finding hen’s teeth.
We’d love to be able to adjust the font colours, and perhaps add glows, strokes and shadows to make text stand out. Unfortunately guesswork is always involved. Many times something was added to the library only to see that the text then was illegible because of the colour limitations. The displayed items all must be in the same place too. You can’t have, for example, CPU temperature on the left, GPU on the right and date/time in the middle. It’s all together like a herd of sheep.
Thankfully little things like that can be fixed. Software is easier to change than hardware after all. It’s just frustrating when customisation is the USP of the Tryx Panorama SE, and the software holds it back. Perhaps more frustrating still that these are issues which have been around for at least six months. It doesn’t fill us with hope that we will see a fix by the time you read this. We have, however, told Tryx of the things we’d like to see changed. Fingers crossed.
Final Thoughts
Unquestionably the Tryx Panorama SE ticks plenty of boxes. We love that it is cheaper than the original Panorama. Especially as it’s actually better. The screen is much less reflective and generally the design looks better. It is less chunky. We know we’ve ragged on the limited options above, but as you saw back on our in use page you can find usable settings even with the current limitations. If you’ve enough creativity to get the right media on it in the first place then you’ve also enough to find a video, image or gif that is dark/light in the right places.
Best of all is the cooling prowess. For all the glitz, if it was hot or loud that screen would be meaningless. It is, basically, spectacular. Even running flat out the fans aren’t injurious to the ear. The frequency is actually low, instead of the whine we normally associate with high speed fans. The cooling capability is so high that the fans rarely speed up anyway. In gaming the Core i7-13700K never topped 55°C and even Cinebench didn’t toast it. Given all we know of the 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors, that’s hugely impressive. It means you could run a Ryzen 9 9950X3D or maybe even a Core i9-14900K without issue.
Class leading cooling performance and impactful aesthetics are more than enough to make the Tryx Panorama SE a great buy today. If Tryx ever solve the software niggles it’ll be unbeatable. To revisit the already good Panorama but make it more user friendly, better performing and significantly cheaper wins it our OC3D Enthusiast Award. The Tryx Panorama SE 360 is jaw-dropping in every respect.
