00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.040
Linus techtips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.080
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:18.119
as well as hyperx hidden away in the dark recesses of the ASUS Rog room we

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:22.160
have the greatest announcement of all

00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:24.279
time this is the Rog Enthusiast SLI

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

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:33.239
got two-way SLI Bridges they light up they've got finish they're on graphics

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

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

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:48.760
and for IPs and for fast response to I

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

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:58.680
about half the time but basically it's exactly the same as the

00:00:55.239 --> 00:01:00.559
pg278q the previous g-sync monitor that

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

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.560
personally declared to be one of the only high-end gaming monitors that

00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:12.439
matters the one that is sitting on my desk personally right now in my gaming

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.400
ring because I think it's absolutely fantastic the ID is exactly the same so

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.880
we get those beautiful slim bezels we get that super flexible stand including

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

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

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:38.759
we get a 27in 4K panel it's a 60 HZ

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:43.680
panel cuz quite frankly we don't have uh display technology that can drive 144 HZ

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

00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:51.000
Frankenstein that into a slim bezel your

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:56.960
beautiful ID thing and then the other main difference is that now so it's 4K

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.320
60 HZ it is IPS so because we don't need

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:04.360
those Lightning Fast refresh rates 144 htz now we can go with IPS as long as

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.799
the necessary work goes into making sure that it not only looks great it's a

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:11.080
10-bit panel so you're going to get that beautiful color reproduction with

00:02:09.239 --> 00:02:14.959
supported video cards and supported applications but you also want to make

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:18.800
sure that it actually performs well enough for gaming so some tuning has to

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

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

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

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

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:40.239
existing Rog Swift or if it's going to support multiple inputs we're not sure

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

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:49.000
response times as a weighted average across the panel so this is pretty much

00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.959
the star of the show as far as the Rog Suite goes here looks absolutely

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:57.000
stunning although we're not really anywhere near an actual release yet I

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

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

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:09.239
guys doing everybody loves JJ so uh they

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:14.319
love you oh he's T he's taking he's taking

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

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

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:28.519
anyway guys thank you for checking out our overview of the pg27 AQ honestly 4K

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

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.840
the kinds of people who are buying $800 gaming monitors like the like the RG

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:42.239
Swift that already exists these guys are buying high-end graphics cards and 2560

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.959
X 1440 is demanding but it's not that

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

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:52.920
enough refresh rate it's going to look kind of great regardless gsync really

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:55.200
comes into its own when you dip below 60

00:03:52.920 --> 00:04:00.079
FPS when you would really start to feel that chug otherwise so with this guy

00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:05.680
when that inevitably happens anyone down to around even as low as kind of like 40

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

00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:14.360
really excited for this product anyway guys huge thank you to our sponsors

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:18.560
