1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,279
I was already regretting my purchase the last time I looked at the latest QD olet

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:12,920
panel but gigabyte said hold my beer and they released the world's first 4K 240

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:18,400
HZ OLED gaming monitor with DP 2.1 in

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:21,439
the fo 32 u2p that's right no longer

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,519
when you get a 4K 240 HZ monitor are you

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,920
going to be limited to using display stream compression if you want to

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:32,920
actually utilize all of that resolution and all of those frames because let me

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,640
tell you when you're going 4K 240 it's eating up something like almost 70 gbit

9
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:43,079
per second of bandwidth we've got our big old stand here for a 32in monitor

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,640
this is pretty typical double column I'm a big fan of the double column design

11
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:51,800
just feels more sturdy I don't know if it actually is but it feels like you get

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,520
twice as much we've got some cables I

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,719
really hope this is a oh my God look at this this is my first time seeing one of

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,320
these I think dp80 that's uhb 20 which

15
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,720
is 80 gb per second which is that's insane I can't believe how much

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:09,759
bandwidth you're getting from that put that how short is this thing cuz uh one

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,560
thing about cables that a lot of you might not realize is that the especially

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:20,479
as the spec goes up they have to get shorter and so this is like a 3ot

19
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:24,520
DisplayPort cable so if you're using this and you're actually using DP 2.1 I

20
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:28,000
really hope your computer is like right next to your monitor uh cuz it's going

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,560
to have to be we might run into some issues later it also comes with rala

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,479
plastica gigabyte monitor product warranty card that's great don't need

23
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,759
that we've got a USB-C Toc cable because this has a KVM in it got a laptop plug

24
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:46,600
it in Boop hit the switch you're good to go we've got Ultra highspeed HDMI this

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,960
is an HDMI 2.1 cable which is only going to reach about 40 GB per second not

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:59,479
enough this is no longer enough now that we've reached 4K 240 HZ then we've got a

27
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:02,000
USB a Tob our power cable which is not a

28
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:06,680
North American plug what else we got the right plug a C13 another one what is

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,959
this a different cable maybe they'll send you all three just in case we've

30
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:15,160
also got our big old power brick Oh this is pretty big it's pretty

31
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:21,080
heavy we've got the other part of our stand you know the part that actually connects to the

32
00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:23,200
monitor we're ready this is a shotgun

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:31,440
rack it's the very typical you know stick the columns in put them together

34
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:33,680
and screw it down ni nice and easy uh

35
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,519
the bigger the monitor the heavier the stand and the heavier the monitor is

36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,400
going to be uh you know I actually this is kind of nice says aorus Design Lab on

37
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,200
the back there it's really hard to see and this

38
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:49,000
is going to be facing the wall so you're never going to see it but I think it

39
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,280
looks pretty and I really like it another thing that I really like is the

40
00:02:51,319 --> 00:03:00,319
slit in the back of here so it actually makes getting into this really

41
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,200
easy you're just going to click clack

42
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:09,560
pull it out also it's flat so anyone wanting a flat

43
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:11,680
16x9 display here's another one it's

44
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,519
finally happening the other advantage to that is that the Box isn't enormous I

45
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:21,040
mean it's a 32-in monitor so it is still pretty big keep your box because this

46
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:26,440
thing comes with a three-year warranty which is absolutely

47
00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:28,920
fantastic covers OLED buron which is a

48
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:34,840
big point for a lot of people it's basically why I am okay with buying

49
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,239
oleds Now for PC gaming and just desktop

50
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,840
usage in general 3 years if you're not burning in after 3 years you're probably

51
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:46,239
taking care of your monitor pretty well who knows maybe burnin's right around the corner I don't know I still haven't

52
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,640
experienced it Labs clearly took a look at it cuz we've got this bubbly on the

53
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,640
screen as they reapplied it that's fine the nice thing is that a lot of people

54
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:58,280
have been complaining about about the other models is that it comes with just

55
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:03,159
the foam and it doesn't actually have a screen protector on the front and

56
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:07,760
so I haven't seen any micr scratches myself but people are seeing them

57
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:12,640
apparently so this is just a nice little added bonus layer of protection uh the

58
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,910
only problem now is I got to take this off okay I got it I got it I got it I

59
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:23,040
got it of course it's cutie OLED we have

60
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:27,880
studio lights shining directly at this thing and so it is slightly magenta

61
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:32,280
instead of black as someone who owns a couple of these things now when you're

62
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:36,280
in your home and it's just like overhead regular house lighting you really don't

63
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,840
see it that much um and then as soon as it's on you don't even notice it at all

64
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:44,039
so I get it people complain about it they don't like it I I I think you're

65
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,880
nitpicking over something really minor that doesn't really matter I'm sorry

66
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:54,320
otherwise the stand is great it swivels at the base which I I am a big fan of um

67
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:58,600
a little more would be nice but this is pretty typical and that's fine otherwise

68
00:04:56,919 --> 00:05:02,320
pretty good amount of height adjustment I would still like to see it Go

69
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:08,880
basically all the way down to the base but that's fine um got a bunch of

70
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:13,120
tilt it's actually a pretty good amount I don't know who will ever use this like

71
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,960
this I pretty much just keep my monitors flat but to each their own if you have a

72
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,720
use case cool another great feature I don't have to take this off the stand to

73
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,720
show you the io because it can do

74
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:29,039
portrait I don't think any of you should ever use it like this until maybe 10

75
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:31,880
years from now because you've got something crazy that point cuz like

76
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:38,000
really it's are you really going to spend this much money and put a 4K 240

77
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,720
HZ Monitor and portrait I'm not um but

78
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:47,600
to each their own anyway as for Io we've got two HDMI 2.1 ports our DP 2.1 mini

79
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:52,440
DP 2.1 you've actually got two options and then a DP out because it can daisy

80
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:55,600
chain fantastic USBC with 65 watts of charging then we got something else that

81
00:05:53,919 --> 00:06:00,800
I actually don't think I've ever seen a non-combo jack so there's one dedicated

82
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:07,919
for Mike and dedic ated for headphones wild usbb and then a couple of usba a

83
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:10,000
ports power so this thing really just

84
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:13,840
kind of has it all uh on the bottom we've also got our handy dandy

85
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:18,680
navigation nipple which is my preferred way to scroll through the OSD and then a

86
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,160
couple of buttons I'm assuming one is for power one is probably for the KVM

87
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:26,400
we'll check that out in a little bit all right let's game on it we noticed two

88
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:32,560
things as we plugged it in one our DP 2.1 cable is actually a DP 2.1 Mini to

89
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:37,880
regular DP for uh br20 I got so excited didn't even notice and then the other

90
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:40,080
thing we forgot that our 490 does not

91
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,479
have DP 2.1 so we're going to throw a Radeon graphics card in there later but

92
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,960
for now we're just going to try it out and see how it goes uh but yeah that's

93
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:50,199
how future proof this thing is a 4090

94
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,319
doesn't even have 2.1 although that's more of NVIDIA's problem so whatever uh

95
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:59,919
this is not 240 HZ this looks bad so we're going to go

96
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Advanced and we're GNA go 240 HZ 4K it's

97
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:07,599
8 bit for SDR so we're going to go out here and go use HDR now we got 10 bit

98
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,440
and that's sweet sweet HDR and uh I got to say you know it looks good it's the

99
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,479
same panel I've been looking at before the real advantage to this guy is just

100
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:21,080
that I/O like DP 2.1 is simply not available elsewhere so if you want it

101
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:26,199
this is your only option let's watch some stuff on YouTube to make sure the

102
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:30,400
HDR looks good I'm sure it does this is one of those videos that we end up

103
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:35,800
making almost entirely by it's got speakers they're just a couple of five

104
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Watts nothing major but very much

105
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,720
appreciated because for those few times where you don't have speakers you don't

106
00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:45,720
have headphones it doesn't matter if it's not good it is audio and that is

107
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:51,479
better than nothing I'll tell you that much 4K HDR oh doesn't Andy look great

108
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:55,360
here the black of that sweater that he's got on it's so crispy but you can see

109
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,639
all the details and the fur and everything or whatever it is one nice

110
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:03,000
thing about gigabyte is actually really like their SD especially with the

111
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:08,919
navigation system that they've got it's got free sync premium Pro it's pretty

112
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:15,199
great we have got HDR on oh we've got

113
00:08:08,919 --> 00:08:17,639
HDR game HDR movie HDR hlg HDR Vivid I

114
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:21,240
would probably stick to HDR oh one thing too that actually like it tells you it's

115
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:25,599
in the mini DP slot specifically we'll get to testing later but we checked out

116
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:27,599
the regular HDR by default and uh no

117
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:32,120
spoilers but it's pretty accurate as for display we've got you know input tells

118
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:34,640
you type C mini DP DP all that stuff KVM

119
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:38,640
switch wizard uh daisy chaining is on we're not daisy chaining anything RGB

120
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:46,440
range that's great apply picture mode sure it's got pip and PBP which is

121
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:48,920
always a very useful uh feature for

122
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:54,519
certain people I don't ever use it but I don't have multiple systems that I want

123
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,440
to um assign different pictures too one

124
00:08:54,519 --> 00:09:02,079
more pretty cool feature is this little button down here the Tactical switch

125
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:06,399
that turns it into to a 24 1/2 in

126
00:09:02,079 --> 00:09:07,760
display ah wait wait I there it is um

127
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:12,640
this is for if you're you know practicing for Esports or something the

128
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,200
reality is it's 240 htz so it's very

129
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,519
capable very capable display and it's really nice having it on a single button

130
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:25,440
down here cuz you just switch back and forth no problem at all very nice to

131
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:28,320
have do I use it no but I also don't

132
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:33,600
play orts at least not anymore another major feature that you've got is OLED

133
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,399
care um right in the OSD here it's

134
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,880
activating usage Time 5 hours oh that's great I actually love how it tells you

135
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:45,560
the usage time oh yeah pixel clean start cleaning static control on Pixel shift

136
00:09:41,959 --> 00:09:48,040
on APL stabilize middle Su logo dim

137
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:51,079
Corner dim reset set this is great this is just a really big part of why I'm

138
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,839
especially coupled with the three-year warranty and why I'm not worried about

139
00:09:53,399 --> 00:10:00,160
burning don't get me wrong I am careful I have autohide taskbar I have Dynamic

140
00:09:58,839 --> 00:10:03,880
wallpaper uh on my background I shut my monitor

141
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,920
off if I'm going to walk away from my desk for a few hours you know and I've

142
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:12,519
definitely made mistakes and just like left it on for the weekend and it is totally fine at least and that's the

143
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:17,440
last gen this is a new gen so let's try some games it looks incredible we're on

144
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,760
Ultra nightmare it's Doom Eternal it's it's an old game now but like guess what

145
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:28,560
I'm getting around 200 FPS for the most part um everything cranked 4K like God

146
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:33,560
this game is so well optimized it just looks amazing those flashes just looks

147
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:35,200
so good I can't wait to this is great I

148
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:39,519
can't wait to watch it from a regular monitor cuz for some reason cuti OLED

149
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:43,760
just looks so good through other displays it just picks it up so well but

150
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,200
yeah it's amazing there's not much else to say I don't know what to tell you

151
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:52,040
guys it's the same panel that I've been gawking at for the last little while and

152
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,639
just being constantly impressed by so

153
00:10:52,040 --> 00:11:01,240
enough about gaming for now let's talk about the results for color accuracy in

154
00:10:57,959 --> 00:11:04,360
srgb we have an average of just one

155
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,000
Delta e with a 2.2 on the max very

156
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:10,600
impressive similar to what we've seen from this generation of cded panels

157
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,519
absolutely beautiful as for HDR in order to hit over a th000 nits you're going to

158
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:18,720
have to set it to APL or average Picture level to high as for our eotf curve it

159
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:23,360
is tracking basically perfectly and that's set to high so just set it to

160
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:27,200
high get your max brightness don't worry about it too much if you really don't

161
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,399
like brightness limiting and how the panel is going to fluctuate a bit as

162
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:34,680
like really bright flashes up here on screen set it to low but the problem is

163
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:40,680
you're only going to cap out at like 250 maybe 300ish nits uh on the high end and

164
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,480
that's for 1% or full screen it's all just going to sit in that range so

165
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,720
personally I'm going to set it to high but to each their own as for color gamut

166
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:52,680
it's great we're hitting 98 or even 99% of P3 depending on how you're measuring

167
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:58,360
it and it hits around 80% of bt2020 which is great as for HDR color accuracy

168
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,639
it's fantastic we hit an average of 4.8

169
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,560
and a Max of9 9.2 which if you've watched any of our other recent videos

170
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:09,040
covering these panels you'll know that that's just really good and an absolute

171
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:14,440
leap in Improvement compared to uh just the previous generation as well as other

172
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:18,160
generations of OLED panels in uh recent years last but certainly not least when

173
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:23,199
it comes to latency it's only adding about6 milliseconds of latency measuring

174
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:27,760
a total of 2.7 which is absolutely incredible like that's next to nothing

175
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,920
it's great I love those things about trying The Radeon card well as it turns

176
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:39,040
out I completely forgot that while it has DP 2.1 they do not have uhb or ultra

177
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:43,279
high bit rate 20 which is like I said before 80 gbit per second and we're

178
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:51,760
going to need about 6970 to actually take advantage of 4K 240 without any

179
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:54,880
kind of compression this has uhb 13.5

180
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,800
which is only about 50 53 gbit per

181
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,160
second which isn't going to do it so no matter what graphics card you have right

182
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:04,480
now outside of like a couple of workstation cards you're not going to be

183
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:10,079
able to take full advantage of this display who knows 50 Series is coming

184
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:17,000
out and I mean maybe the 8000 series is coming out but maybe they just do 2.1

185
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:19,079
and uh uhb 13.5 so whenever you do go to

186
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:27,880
shop for your next graphics card if you do buy the fo32 u2p don't just trust the

187
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:31,040
DP 2.1 on the box instead look it up and

188
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:33,000
see if they're actually offering uh br20

189
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,120
back to the rest of the video the best part is to get this DP 2.1 connection

190
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:43,360
even though most of us aren't even going to be able to use it right away it's

191
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:45,600
only $12.99 now I know I say only but

192
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:50,839
the reality is I was fully expecting this to have an extra like $200 added to

193
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:55,440
the price tag when you compare it to other brands coming out with the same

194
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:59,480
panel and similar monitors that's right about bang on that's really close to

195
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:03,800
what everyone else is charging so yeah it came out a little later and uh it

196
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,920
definitely kind of hits me in the heart a little bit because I was an early

197
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:13,759
adopter and I wanted to buy one right away really wish I had a DP 2.1 but for

198
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:17,639
anyone else who hasn't bought one yet of course a lower price would be fantastic

199
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:22,440
but for it to be priced at the same thing that's just that's that's great

200
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:25,560
that's gravy it's money it's fantastic

201
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,199
it's so good it's so good you guys and

202
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,720
if you want something even better if you want to save another Buck if you want to

203
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:37,959
save two 100 bucks to be exact you can get the fo32 U2

204
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:40,199
nonp it doesn't have DP 2.1 but it does

205
00:14:37,959 --> 00:14:44,600
save you money you also don't get daisy chaining out of the DisplayPort which

206
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:48,240
is like it does kind of suck but it's really not necessary just run two cables

207
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:54,279
however the other kind of thing that might bite you is you only get 18 watts

208
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:57,360
of power delivery on the USBC which it's

209
00:14:54,279 --> 00:15:00,880
enough but if you've got a laptop you

210
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:04,320
really want that 65 on the fo 27 Q3 it

211
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,480
is of course only 1440p but it is 360

212
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:12,120
htz so you kind of got some trade-off there 360 HZ with OLED Lightning Fast

213
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:17,480
pixel response times is near perfect motion Clarity 240 looks amazing but

214
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,440
it's definitely not quite as crisp so pick the one that's right for you and

215
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:26,040
then if both of those are still out of your price range or you just want a smaller monitor because let's be real

216
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:33,720
sometimes 32 in is too big for people's desks you can get the f27 Q three for

217
00:15:30,959 --> 00:15:38,399
$800 it's really good it's kind of unbelievable just how far this play Tech

218
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:43,240
has come in the last few years it's like CPUs just a couple years ago and I'm

219
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,839
just really excited about it still because everything year-over-year keeps

220
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:50,120
impressing me and I can't wait to see what comes out next thanks for watching

221
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,079
ShortCircuit thanks to gigabyte for sending this over and sponsoring this

222
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,000
video if you want to pick up any of the three that we talked about or showed

223
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,319
today there's going to be a link in the description below and if you want to
