thanks to synergy for sponsoring this video from ces 2018 synergy 2 is the
easier way to connect one keyboard and mouse to multiple computers check it out
at the link below so we're here in the NVIDIA suite where
they are showing off the world's first big
big format sorry excuse me big format display they're bringing big screen
gaming to the pc now gaming monitors
that are big have already existed for quite some time and there are even pc
monitors that are as large as 42 inches
though it should be noted that there are only a few outliers that you could
really consider to be gaming monitors that are 30 inches or above well that
all changes today the 65-inch monstrosity behind me checks off
a ton of the boxes from our video earlier this
year where we designed our ideal gaming tv
so it's got really low latency like super low like a monitor it's got
DisplayPort and HDMI input just like a monitor it's got a
120 hertz max refresh rate just like a
monitor and like a high-end gaming monitor it
supports variable refresh rate with NVIDIA's g-sync technology so they're
announcing three different models but all of them are using a va panel from au
optronics with quantum dot film for dci
p3 color support and nice deep black
levels they're also using a full array backlight solution with local dimming in
order to achieve 1000 nitpeak brightness with the ability to support HDR now they
haven't announced plans for dolby vision at this time but it should be noted that
most games maybe there's an exception or two you guys can leave a comment if you
can think of anything but most games are supporting HDR through HDR 10 anyway
let's talk results now they haven't announced how many local dimming zones
these tvs have but if i had to guess i'd say it's probably similar to the 4k high
refresh rate monitors that they talked about at ces
last year so more than tens but probably not you know
over a thousand something along those lines and in terms of results well local
dimming is still not OLED so
that's the thing you can see blooms around bright objects in very dark
scenes from time to time and it was especially noticeable in menus or if you
have a bright moving light moving around your character like let's say like a
navi type assistant but if that's the case you've probably got more annoying
things in your life and in general in fast-paced situations we didn't really
notice it while gaming now let's take a look at the back of acer's prototype
here these are absolutely
prototypes so i guess the other thing to consider is that you got to give them
some time to improve it so they're announcing three partners acer ASUS and
hp who are going to launch displays hopefully sometime in the summer and
it's up to those guys how they want to finish the screen matter glossy how they
want to do the stand the sound the bezel and the osd options but in terms of the
actual performance of the panel they're all using the same panel so it should be
pretty similar okay then so i mean it's a tv
realistically the expectation would be that you can use it for more than just
gaming so NVIDIA's solution to that is to integrate a shield tv so their full
standalone device experience into the display and this is another thing that
was in our video why don't you just have a high-end thing built into the thing
why are they why are they laggy it's ridiculous so amazon and netflix both
have 4k HDR support and now you've got full integration with google smart home
and google voice which is pretty big and this is another announcement today that
just like someone mentioned in passing i was like what really
g-sync is now supported with game stream and in Android games on shield tv
though it should be noted you can't just plug your existing shield tv into your
tv or your monitor because it only has HDMI out and g-sync on the desktop
anyway at this time is only supported over displayport
another cool thing for the tv guys not the gaming guys out there is video
playback thanks to variable refresh rate is done at the native frame rate so if
you're watching cinematic content it'll be running at 24 FPS or if you're
running something like the grand tour on amazon then you will actually see it at
the 25 FPS that it was shot at no stupid
interpolation no pull down no nothing like that so
let us know what you guys think in the comments is couch gaming finally here
we've got low latency wireless mice we've got wireless keyboards we've got
actual gaming tvs is it time
well it's going to depend on your budget like i said it's coming this summer and
NVIDIA is not commenting on pricing at all
so i'm just going to have to wildly speculate based on what i know about a
typical g-sync up charge over a decent monitor and say i wouldn't expect these
to be less than probably around five grand so let me know what you guys think
you're gonna see and what you would pay at the comment section at the comment
section dammit i was so close you know what let's just roll with that thanks to
synergy for sponsoring this video synergy 2 makes the configuration of
synergy their keyboard and mouse sharing software that works across Windows Linux
and mac easier than ever even with more complicated networking setups also
improved with synergy 2 is the ability to have it running seamlessly in the
background so you can set it and forget it so check it out at the link in the
video description it's seamless dot com synergy
ces 2. you get 50 off down there by the way
so thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video do that if you liked hit like if you really liked it then
well you can't buy any of these yet so my standard outro is no good but you can
subscribe so you don't miss any of our content from ces 2018.
