1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040 Linus techtips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,080 store. phantom.in screen protectors out there 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:18,119 as well as hyperx hidden away in the dark recesses of the ASUS Rog room we 4 00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:22,160 have the greatest announcement of all 5 00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:24,279 time this is the Rog Enthusiast SLI 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:29,400 bridge this is the star of the show they've got four-way SLI Bridges they've 7 00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:33,239 got two-way SLI Bridges they light up they've got finish they're on graphics 8 00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:36,520 cards no I'm just kidding not that at all I mean those are coming and those 9 00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:46,760 are cool but the star of the show here is the Rog Swift pg27 AQ the A is for 4K 10 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,760 and for IPs and for fast response to I 11 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,960 don't know what the a stands for I don't understand what these guys are talking 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:58,680 about half the time but basically it's exactly the same as the 13 00:00:55,239 --> 00:01:00,559 pg278q the previous g-sync monitor that 14 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,479 we had that we saw from them so it's so 144 HZ 2560 X 1440 the one that I 15 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,560 personally declared to be one of the only high-end gaming monitors that 16 00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:12,439 matters the one that is sitting on my desk personally right now in my gaming 17 00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:17,400 ring because I think it's absolutely fantastic the ID is exactly the same so 18 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,880 we get those beautiful slim bezels we get that super flexible stand including 19 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:27,280 all the adjustments that you could possibly want you got your pivot your swivel your height adjust your tilt all 20 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:35,880 that good stuff but what's been updated is the panel instead of 25 60 x440 now 21 00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:38,759 we get a 27in 4K panel it's a 60 HZ 22 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:43,680 panel cuz quite frankly we don't have uh display technology that can drive 144 HZ 23 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:48,520 4K and when we do I'm sure ASUS is going to try and figure out how to 24 00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:51,000 Frankenstein that into a slim bezel your 25 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:56,960 beautiful ID thing and then the other main difference is that now so it's 4K 26 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,320 60 HZ it is IPS so because we don't need 27 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:04,360 those Lightning Fast refresh rates 144 htz now we can go with IPS as long as 28 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,799 the necessary work goes into making sure that it not only looks great it's a 29 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,080 10-bit panel so you're going to get that beautiful color reproduction with 30 00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:14,959 supported video cards and supported applications but you also want to make 31 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,800 sure that it actually performs well enough for gaming so some tuning has to 32 00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:22,680 go into making sure that this monitor is going to make sense for gamers if they're going to go ahead and put the 33 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,239 Rog branding on it what they're working on right now is how to get the response 34 00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,519 time dialed in to the point where it'll be acceptable and we're not really sure what the spec is going to be right now 35 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:36,000 in fact we're not even going to be we're not even sure if it's going to have single DisplayPort input just like the 36 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,239 existing Rog Swift or if it's going to support multiple inputs we're not sure 37 00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:44,360 we're not sure a lot of things but they're aiming for 5 to six millisecond 38 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,000 response times as a weighted average across the panel so this is pretty much 39 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,959 the star of the show as far as the Rog Suite goes here looks absolutely 40 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:57,000 stunning although we're not really anywhere near an actual release yet I 41 00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:00,400 mean we're looking at what you know 3 to 6 months at least for this guy I'm 42 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:08,239 getting the nod from J over look I'm here with JJ see say hi JJ hello everybody how you 43 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:09,239 guys doing everybody loves JJ so uh they 44 00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:14,319 love you oh he's T he's taking he's taking 45 00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:18,480 shots at me but fortunately I didn't give him my mic so you guys didn't have 46 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:22,280 to you didn't have to hear him tease me he does it all the time off camera 47 00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:28,519 anyway guys thank you for checking out our overview of the pg27 AQ honestly 4K 48 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,439 makes a ton of sense to me for g-sync because with a very powerful rig like 49 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,840 the kinds of people who are buying $800 gaming monitors like the like the RG 50 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:42,239 Swift that already exists these guys are buying high-end graphics cards and 2560 51 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,959 X 1440 is demanding but it's not that 52 00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:46,959 demanding for a high-end graphics card and as long as you're running at a high 53 00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:52,920 enough refresh rate it's going to look kind of great regardless gsync really 54 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,200 comes into its own when you dip below 60 55 00:03:52,920 --> 00:04:00,079 FPS when you would really start to feel that chug otherwise so with this guy 56 00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:05,680 when that inevitably happens anyone down to around even as low as kind of like 40 57 00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:10,040 to 45 maybe 43 to 45 FPS it's still going to feel very very smooth and I'm 58 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:14,360 really excited for this product anyway guys huge thank you to our sponsors 59 00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:18,560 Phantom glass they
