00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,540
You just got your beautiful new 34-inch ultra-wide monitor

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,760
Welcome to the absolute cream of the crop of gaming

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,640
productivity and cinema

4
00:00:12,740 --> 00:00:14,580
experiences my friend

5
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:20,700
is what I would have said if Samsung hadn't just grabbed the bar and

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,860
re-

7
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:25,150
stretched it

8
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:27,150
with their brand new

9
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:30,170
$1,300

10
00:00:30,610 --> 00:00:32,290
9-inch

11
00:00:32,290 --> 00:00:38,250
32x9 high refresh rate super ultra wide gaming monitor

12
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:43,720
But is this thing like totally worth it man, or just like

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,150
totally stupid man

14
00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:50,670
Speaking of stupid today's sponsor isn't

15
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:57,670
The Thermaltake Core P90 tempered glass case features 5 millimeter thick glass and angled open frame design

16
00:00:58,350 --> 00:01:02,110
different layout options vertical GPU mounting with riser cable included

17
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:04,270
And more check it out at the link below

18
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:17,450
The CHG90 is an absolute

19
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:20,430
behemoth its 49 inch diagonal

20
00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:26,250
Quantum dot panel is nearly 4 feet wide and all together it weighs

21
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:31,710
33 pounds and yet it still manages to look light and streamlined

22
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:40,250
With thin bezels and a slender yet robust stand with a charcoal and titanium finish that hits that sweet spot between

23
00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:41,830
gamery and

24
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:51,790
Boring the 1800r curved screen can swivel up to 15 degrees in either direction tilt between minus 2 and 15 degrees and elevate about 5 inches

25
00:01:51,970 --> 00:01:57,930
So not nearly as high as it would have to be to support rotating into portrait mode

26
00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:02,410
Sorry reddit fanatics, but that is more than a little silly

27
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:10,090
Flipping around to the back we find the integrated cable management hook standard power cable no brick required and a cover that pops off

28
00:02:10,090 --> 00:02:16,950
Revealing two HDMI 2.0 ports two DisplayPort 1.3s one of which is of the mini me variety and

29
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:21,370
Audio in and out so all that is actually pretty darn good

30
00:02:21,370 --> 00:02:24,490
But we do wish that the USB hub was a little more

31
00:02:25,090 --> 00:02:28,870
2018 with more ports and maybe a type-c in there

32
00:02:28,870 --> 00:02:37,570
Oh, right, and they also threw in this secret headphone hanger that I'm betting exactly no one will use the awkward position aside

33
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:40,070
most people are unlikely to have a

34
00:02:40,090 --> 00:02:46,690
Desk that is deep enough to spare the extra three inches that you would need given that the monitors legs

35
00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:52,990
Already jut out in front of the screen and the screen itself is so wide that you literally

36
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:56,890
Cannot see all of it at once if you sit too close

37
00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:05,770
28 inches is the minimum that you would need to use this thing comfortably and even then you will end up turning your head a

38
00:03:05,770 --> 00:03:08,670
Little bit to see the start menu and the system tray

39
00:03:09,170 --> 00:03:13,770
Which I guess brings us to the experience of actually using it in a word

40
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:15,920
Pretty dank

41
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:23,540
Okay, that's two words, but you could basically think of the 32 by 9 aspect ratio as kind of like having two

42
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:31,320
27 inch 16 by 9 monitors side by side but without any bezels harshing your vibe

43
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,710
kind of in practice though a

44
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:39,090
34 inch ultra wide already feels about as

45
00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:41,350
productive as two monitors this

46
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:49,210
This lets you comfortably have three or maybe even four things open side by side if you stretch a bit

47
00:03:49,210 --> 00:03:53,290
It is so wide that it will actually require a little bit of

48
00:03:53,770 --> 00:04:01,970
Creative thinking to make efficient use of it even your 21 by 9 cinema scope movies will have black bars on the side

49
00:04:02,050 --> 00:04:08,930
So I mean one of the ideas we had was to run a 16 by 9 game in the middle with streaming and

50
00:04:09,210 --> 00:04:11,470
Social media Windows surrounding it cool, right?

51
00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:14,130
speaking of gaming

52
00:04:14,130 --> 00:04:15,310
Yes

53
00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:22,970
Just like with a regular ultra wide support for this resolution can be a little hit or miss with some games giving you black bars

54
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:30,230
Some zooming in and some of them working correctly other than that the HUD ends up so far to the side

55
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:32,230
That's more like a herd

56
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,120
With that said when it's good. It's really good

57
00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:39,200
You can have so much of your field of view filled up?

58
00:04:39,340 --> 00:04:44,140
With screen that it's not that dissimilar to VR goggles

59
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,300
but without the screen door or any controller dongle itch and

60
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,220
the girthy screen isn't the only perk for gamers the CHD 90 rocks a

61
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,640
144 Hertz refresh rate backlight strobing and

62
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,000
FreeSync 2 although it should be noted that strobing can't be used with FreeSync running at the same time

63
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,240
The upside is that Samsung included some shortcut buttons to make toggling between custom displays?

64
00:05:09,340 --> 00:05:10,400
modes easy

65
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:17,080
So we made one each for FreeSync versus fast response time and then another with I saver for working

66
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,860
Now let's have a little chat about one of the other features on the box

67
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,180
HDR this display claims to support HDR

68
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:32,460
but as far as we're concerned it only kind of does to really give you the HDR effect any

69
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:38,360
display technology with a backlight needs full array local dimming and a

70
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:40,700
peak brightness of a thousand nits

71
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,540
This puppy can hit peaks of 600 nits with typical brightness in the 250 to 350 range

72
00:05:47,820 --> 00:05:52,460
Which will enhance the look of the few games out there that support HDR?

73
00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:58,900
But buyer beware because these HD aren't monitors are on the rise

74
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:07,310
Leading us then to the CHG 90s biggest weak point the resolution. It's 3840 by 1080

75
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,660
So compared to 16 by 9 4k it is half as many pixels

76
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,020
Making it easier to drive for your graphics card

77
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,480
but also

78
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,720
It's huge and only half the number of pixels

79
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,380
So at this size you're only getting about 80 pixels per inch the same as a

80
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:31,200
34 inch

81
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,960
2560 by 1080 ultra wide at a third of this one's price now to be clear

82
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,560
It's not a the complete amazing turning dentro show method

83
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:44,120
unusable it just hurts the otherwise futuristic experience it's like it's

84
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,180
like being in a self-driving electric car and going to roll down the window

85
00:06:48,180 --> 00:06:57,720
and being like really really Windows that go like this not like this but I'm

86
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,680
not blaming Samsung for any of that because they're limited by what can be

87
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:07,880
done today with the HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.3 or 1.4 standards over a

88
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,880
single cable so then there are two questions that we have to answer in our

89
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,520
conclusion one is super ultra wide something that deserves to exist well I

90
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,920
would say as long as your desk and the stand are sturdy enough we're giving it

91
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:28,500
the thumbs up and number two should you buy this monitor that one's a little

92
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:32,920
tougher it's got a high quality VA panel that's color calibrated right out of the

93
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,500
box and offers a gaming and productivity experience that's unlike anything else

94
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:38,040
available to you

95
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:47,520
today but the HDMI 2.1 spec is already out so unless the timing and the price

96
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,560
of the CHD 90 lineup perfectly with your upgrade cycle and your budget and you

97
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,160
really need something today it might be worth waiting to see how Samsung's

98
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,820
competitors super ultra widen the selection in the coming months

99
00:08:04,820 --> 00:08:07,970
Master Ops back with another simple deal

100
00:08:08,170 --> 00:08:13,510
on a complicatedly named product this is the mass drop x thx

101
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:19,270
achromatic audio amplifier 789 linear amplifier it's a linear bipolar

102
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:22,270
amplifier with feed forward error correction design for those who can

103
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:28,690
appreciate a clean transparent amp it features THX AAA and feed forward

104
00:08:28,690 --> 00:08:33,510
topology which reduces distortion by 20 to 40 decibels for a realistic

105
00:08:33,510 --> 00:08:36,830
fatigue-free listening the chassis is high-grade CNC milled aluminum with a bead blasted stenciled masters shouldn't say much in the past this monitor does sayиша
