WEBVTT

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.759
so we were in the middle of trying to film something where we showed off the

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:10.960
uh benchmarks that we ran for Far Cry 3 where we had a gForce versus Radon

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.879
Showdown hold on no you're going the wrong way when we were using this

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:21.279
monitor to showcase the graphs and I was like slick uh you got to you got to use

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:26.599
like a a more um a more obvious like a darker blue on the graphs because you

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:29.400
can't really see it on the monitor so here this is the angle that I was

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:36.520
looking at it from I was like yeah these aren't going to show how are we going to show people what the graphs look like

00:00:32.599 --> 00:00:39.760
and then I got down to I level with it

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:42.160
and I was like oh okay that is a

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:49.520
perfectly acceptable blue so the issue appears to be the TN panel having such

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:52.120
horrendous uh viewing angles that it was

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:59.000
pretty much unusable so just for lws we took an IPS panel this is a pro art

00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:00.600
monitor so for contrast this is a 120 HZ

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:04.720
TN which is about the worst case scenario for a TN in terms of color

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:08.439
accuracy and viewing angles because of the way that they have to overclock the

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:14.840
panels in order to get them to respond so quickly and then this is a color

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.280
calibrated 60 HZ IPS which is pretty

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:21.360
much the other end of the spectrum so would love to get some different angles

00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:26.119
on here so slick come on over here and get them from sort of the side so you

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.280
can see that what is supposed to be down

00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:32.759
down down what is supposed to be blue

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:37.000
actually appears to be brown and

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:41.680
um and uh yeah I mean the difference is

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:44.640
so is so Stark even going from sort of

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.280
like a viewing spot of about here to about here that that there's a

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:53.880
noticeable noticeable difference if you're not looking exactly straight on

00:01:51.200 --> 00:02:00.640
with the uh with the TN panel so you know guys if you don't believe what I

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:02.719
say about how TN panels are for color

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:09.959
reproduction as well as viewing angle just so inferior to their to their PLS

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.800
uh IPS and VA counterparts hopefully

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:17.040
this is a bit of an illustration for you of what would be a worst case scenario

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:19.360
so what is a TN panel like this good for

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:26.080
couple things number one is 3D you cannot run 3D unless you can get 120 HZ

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.400
uh refresh rates and unless you have a fast enough response time to prevent any

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:36.400
motion blur or not motion blur well motion blur as well cuz that can wreak

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:38.200
havoc on 3D gaming um as well as cross

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.879
talk between the left and right stereo images so you have to have a super fast

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.959
panel the other thing that a fast panel is good for is 2D well okay 3D gaming

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.120
but not stereo 3D gaming where you need

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:53.920
that you need that responsiveness from the monitor you want to have that extra

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:58.519
Edge compared to someone else who's using a 60 HZ monitor because it will

00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:02.879
actually show you the image faster so if you're playing twitch games where you

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.760
need every last millisecond then this would be useful and if you're running in

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:13.120
Stereo 3D then this would be useful otherwise do yourself a big huge favor

00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:15.200
and get an IPS vaa or PLS panel because

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:20.599
I think you guys have seen what the contrast between these Technologies

00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:24.319
looks like again a very extreme sort of version of it thanks for watching lus
