this video from ces 2018 is brought to you by the symbios demo car from grouper
no we'll have that linked in the video description
so we're here in the ASUS rog suite where they've got a ton of amazing
display technology on display first up is their 144hz 4k HDR
gaming monitor that we actually saw demoed like a year ago the pg27uq
but the key difference is that they are actually going to be shipping this thing
really soon so that's a large 27 inch g-sync display 144 hertz 4k pretty much
can't go wrong unless of course you're into ultra wide gaming in which case you
might be more into the pg-35 vq so
that's a 3440 by 1440 35-inch g-sync
200 hertz display so that is double the
refresh rate of the predator x34 one of
my personal favorite gaming displays
also here is a seuss's flavor of NVIDIA's
bf g tv display what are they calling it yeah
yeah bfgd or big format gaming display i don't
think they have a model name for it yet but in a nutshell it's a 65 inch monitor
effectively because it doesn't have a tv tuner but it does have a lot of features
that are appealing to gamers so it uses a va panel with a 3001 contrast ratio it
runs out 120 hertz 4k resolution with
HDR and it has a built-in NVIDIA shield
so you can play Android games you can stream netflix amazon prime etc but most
importantly they're boasting ultra low latency so if you're a couch gamer that
looks like it's going to be the solution sometime later this year
the most visually interesting one though is probably this guy now on the surface
this looks pretty boring it's just like a couple of rubber pieces at the top and
bottom and then it's a strip of pmma
which is a plastic material similar to acrylic but what's special about it is
the fresnel style lenses that are cut
into it so traditionally the way to achieve
bending of light would be to have like a big bubble lens but instead this just
has a bunch of slits cut into it all along kind of similar to the rings that
you see inside of an htc vive and what it does is if you put it on top of the
bezels of ASUS pg pg258q gaming monitor
it makes them essentially disappear by stretching the edge of this screen and
the edge of this one creating a bezel-less effect now it's
not perfect you do lose a little bit of light so they are a little bit dimmer
but i will say that if you're into sim racing the experience is significantly
more immersive they're optimized for 130 degree angles and they're working on
getting it working with the pg-35v and pricing is expected to be well they
don't know but they're saying under a hundred dollars which
like i would hope so but like that seems pretty reasonable if
you're into surround gaming so yeah there you go oh i took apart their
demo anyway
this video was brought to you guys by the symbios demo car from group renault
we checked it out quite recently it's their level 4 autonomous car that i
actually got to drive and i use the term drive with a serious asterisk on it
because we managed to take it out on the freeway
with my hands completely off the wheel the seat tilted back and then at its
most extreme with a vr headset on
that was actually simulating what it would be like if i was in a completely
different environment whatsoever with the car sensors themselves tied into the
vr headset so you guys are going to want to check out that video to see the
latest in autonomous driving innovations we're going to have it linked in the
video description so thanks for watching guys dislike or
like check out uh well i mean you can't buy any of this stuff yet but check out
