WEBVTT

00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:06.279
I was already regretting my purchase the last time I looked at the latest QD olet

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:12.920
panel but gigabyte said hold my beer and they released the world's first 4K 240

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:18.400
HZ OLED gaming monitor with DP 2.1 in

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:21.439
the fo 32 u2p that's right no longer

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:23.519
when you get a 4K 240 HZ monitor are you

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:28.920
going to be limited to using display stream compression if you want to

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.920
actually utilize all of that resolution and all of those frames because let me

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

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:43.079
per second of bandwidth we've got our big old stand here for a 32in monitor

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:46.640
this is pretty typical double column I'm a big fan of the double column design

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

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.520
twice as much we've got some cables I

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

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:01.320
these I think dp80 that's uhb 20 which

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:05.720
is 80 gb per second which is that's insane I can't believe how much

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:09.759
bandwidth you're getting from that put that how short is this thing cuz uh one

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:14.560
thing about cables that a lot of you might not realize is that the especially

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

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

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:28.000
really hope your computer is like right next to your monitor uh cuz it's going

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:32.560
to have to be we might run into some issues later it also comes with rala

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.479
plastica gigabyte monitor product warranty card that's great don't need

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

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

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

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

00:01:54.360 --> 00:02:02.000
USB a Tob our power cable which is not a

00:01:59.479 --> 00:02:06.680
North American plug what else we got the right plug a C13 another one what is

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.959
this a different cable maybe they'll send you all three just in case we've

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:15.160
also got our big old power brick Oh this is pretty big it's pretty

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

00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:23.200
monitor we're ready this is a shotgun

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:31.440
rack it's the very typical you know stick the columns in put them together

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:33.680
and screw it down ni nice and easy uh

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.519
the bigger the monitor the heavier the stand and the heavier the monitor is

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

00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.200
the back there it's really hard to see and this

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

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.280
looks pretty and I really like it another thing that I really like is the

00:02:51.319 --> 00:03:00.319
slit in the back of here so it actually makes getting into this really

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:02.200
easy you're just going to click clack

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:09.560
pull it out also it's flat so anyone wanting a flat

00:03:06.519 --> 00:03:11.680
16x9 display here's another one it's

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.519
finally happening the other advantage to that is that the Box isn't enormous I

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

00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:26.440
thing comes with a three-year warranty which is absolutely

00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:28.920
fantastic covers OLED buron which is a

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:34.840
big point for a lot of people it's basically why I am okay with buying

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:37.239
oleds Now for PC gaming and just desktop

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

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

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

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

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:58.280
have been complaining about about the other models is that it comes with just

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:03.159
the foam and it doesn't actually have a screen protector on the front and

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:07.760
so I haven't seen any micr scratches myself but people are seeing them

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:12.640
apparently so this is just a nice little added bonus layer of protection uh the

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

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:23.040
got it of course it's cutie OLED we have

00:04:20.840 --> 00:04:27.880
studio lights shining directly at this thing and so it is slightly magenta

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:32.280
instead of black as someone who owns a couple of these things now when you're

00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:36.280
in your home and it's just like overhead regular house lighting you really don't

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

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

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:48.880
nitpicking over something really minor that doesn't really matter I'm sorry

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

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:58.600
a little more would be nice but this is pretty typical and that's fine otherwise

00:04:56.919 --> 00:05:02.320
pretty good amount of height adjustment I would still like to see it Go

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

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

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

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

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.720
show you the io because it can do

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

00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:31.880
years from now because you've got something crazy that point cuz like

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

00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:40.720
HZ Monitor and portrait I'm not um but

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

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

00:05:49.479 --> 00:05:55.600
chain fantastic USBC with 65 watts of charging then we got something else that

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

00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:07.919
for Mike and dedic ated for headphones wild usbb and then a couple of usba a

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:10.000
ports power so this thing really just

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:13.840
kind of has it all uh on the bottom we've also got our handy dandy

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:18.680
navigation nipple which is my preferred way to scroll through the OSD and then a

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.160
couple of buttons I'm assuming one is for power one is probably for the KVM

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

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

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

00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:40.080
thing we forgot that our 490 does not

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

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

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:50.199
how future proof this thing is a 4090

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

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:59.919
this is not 240 HZ this looks bad so we're going to go

00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:02.400
Advanced and we're GNA go 240 HZ 4K it's

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

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

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:16.479
same panel I've been looking at before the real advantage to this guy is just

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

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:26.199
this is your only option let's watch some stuff on YouTube to make sure the

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

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:35.800
making almost entirely by it's got speakers they're just a couple of five

00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:38.240
Watts nothing major but very much

00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.720
appreciated because for those few times where you don't have speakers you don't

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

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

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

00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:58.639
all the details and the fur and everything or whatever it is one nice

00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:03.000
thing about gigabyte is actually really like their SD especially with the

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:08.919
navigation system that they've got it's got free sync premium Pro it's pretty

00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:15.199
great we have got HDR on oh we've got

00:08:08.919 --> 00:08:17.639
HDR game HDR movie HDR hlg HDR Vivid I

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

00:08:19.039 --> 00:08:25.599
in the mini DP slot specifically we'll get to testing later but we checked out

00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:27.599
the regular HDR by default and uh no

00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:32.120
spoilers but it's pretty accurate as for display we've got you know input tells

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:34.640
you type C mini DP DP all that stuff KVM

00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:38.640
switch wizard uh daisy chaining is on we're not daisy chaining anything RGB

00:08:36.599 --> 00:08:46.440
range that's great apply picture mode sure it's got pip and PBP which is

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:48.920
always a very useful uh feature for

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

00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:56.440
to um assign different pictures too one

00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:02.079
more pretty cool feature is this little button down here the Tactical switch

00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:06.399
that turns it into to a 24 1/2 in

00:09:02.079 --> 00:09:07.760
display ah wait wait I there it is um

00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:12.640
this is for if you're you know practicing for Esports or something the

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.200
reality is it's 240 htz so it's very

00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:18.519
capable very capable display and it's really nice having it on a single button

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:25.440
down here cuz you just switch back and forth no problem at all very nice to

00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:28.320
have do I use it no but I also don't

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:33.600
play orts at least not anymore another major feature that you've got is OLED

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:36.399
care um right in the OSD here it's

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.880
activating usage Time 5 hours oh that's great I actually love how it tells you

00:09:37.880 --> 00:09:45.560
the usage time oh yeah pixel clean start cleaning static control on Pixel shift

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:48.040
on APL stabilize middle Su logo dim

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

00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:55.839
especially coupled with the three-year warranty and why I'm not worried about

00:09:53.399 --> 00:10:00.160
burning don't get me wrong I am careful I have autohide taskbar I have Dynamic

00:09:58.839 --> 00:10:03.880
wallpaper uh on my background I shut my monitor

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

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

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

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

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:28.560
I'm getting around 200 FPS for the most part um everything cranked 4K like God

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:33.560
this game is so well optimized it just looks amazing those flashes just looks

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.200
so good I can't wait to this is great I

00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:39.519
can't wait to watch it from a regular monitor cuz for some reason cuti OLED

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:43.760
just looks so good through other displays it just picks it up so well but

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

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

00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:54.639
just being constantly impressed by so

00:10:52.040 --> 00:11:01.240
enough about gaming for now let's talk about the results for color accuracy in

00:10:57.959 --> 00:11:04.360
srgb we have an average of just one

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:06.000
Delta e with a 2.2 on the max very

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:10.600
impressive similar to what we've seen from this generation of cded panels

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

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

00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:23.360
is tracking basically perfectly and that's set to high so just set it to

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

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:30.399
like brightness limiting and how the panel is going to fluctuate a bit as

00:11:28.920 --> 00:11:34.680
like really bright flashes up here on screen set it to low but the problem is

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

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

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

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

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:58.360
it and it hits around 80% of bt2020 which is great as for HDR color accuracy

00:11:55.320 --> 00:12:00.639
it's fantastic we hit an average of 4.8

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

00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:09.040
covering these panels you'll know that that's just really good and an absolute

00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:14.440
leap in Improvement compared to uh just the previous generation as well as other

00:12:11.880 --> 00:12:18.160
generations of OLED panels in uh recent years last but certainly not least when

00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:23.199
it comes to latency it's only adding about6 milliseconds of latency measuring

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:27.760
a total of 2.7 which is absolutely incredible like that's next to nothing

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:31.920
it's great I love those things about trying The Radeon card well as it turns

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

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

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:51.760
going to need about 6970 to actually take advantage of 4K 240 without any

00:12:46.199 --> 00:12:54.880
kind of compression this has uhb 13.5

00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:56.800
which is only about 50 53 gbit per

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

00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:04.480
now outside of like a couple of workstation cards you're not going to be

00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:10.079
able to take full advantage of this display who knows 50 Series is coming

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

00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:19.079
and uh uhb 13.5 so whenever you do go to

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

00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:31.040
DP 2.1 on the box instead look it up and

00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:33.000
see if they're actually offering uh br20

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

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

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.600
only $12.99 now I know I say only but

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:50.839
the reality is I was fully expecting this to have an extra like $200 added to

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:55.440
the price tag when you compare it to other brands coming out with the same

00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:59.480
panel and similar monitors that's right about bang on that's really close to

00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:03.800
what everyone else is charging so yeah it came out a little later and uh it

00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:07.920
definitely kind of hits me in the heart a little bit because I was an early

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

00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:17.639
anyone else who hasn't bought one yet of course a lower price would be fantastic

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

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:25.560
that's gravy it's money it's fantastic

00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:27.199
it's so good it's so good you guys and

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

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:37.959
save two 100 bucks to be exact you can get the fo32 U2

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:40.199
nonp it doesn't have DP 2.1 but it does

00:14:37.959 --> 00:14:44.600
save you money you also don't get daisy chaining out of the DisplayPort which

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

00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:54.279
however the other kind of thing that might bite you is you only get 18 watts

00:14:51.160 --> 00:14:57.360
of power delivery on the USBC which it's

00:14:54.279 --> 00:15:00.880
enough but if you've got a laptop you

00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:04.320
really want that 65 on the fo 27 Q3 it

00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:06.480
is of course only 1440p but it is 360

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:12.120
htz so you kind of got some trade-off there 360 HZ with OLED Lightning Fast

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:17.480
pixel response times is near perfect motion Clarity 240 looks amazing but

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

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

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

00:15:30.959 --> 00:15:38.399
$800 it's really good it's kind of unbelievable just how far this play Tech

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

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.839
just really excited about it still because everything year-over-year keeps

00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:50.120
impressing me and I can't wait to see what comes out next thanks for watching

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:53.079
ShortCircuit thanks to gigabyte for sending this over and sponsoring this

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

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

00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:03.680
