1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,279
when you're talking about high refresh rate gaming monitors what counts as high

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,800
144 hertz 240 hertz well be prepared to

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:13,200
rewrite your personal dictionary because i'm standing in the ASUS suite where

4
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,320
they're showing off an rog swift 360. and no i'm not talking about that april

5
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:20,520
fool's joke that they made last year this time the 360 means a refresh rate

6
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:24,560
of a staggering 360 hearts how do they build this what's

7
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:29,439
it like to use it we're going to find out right after this message from our sponsor pulseway don't have scores of

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,719

business at the link below

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,920
i know you're thinking 360 hertz is probably way overkill for most people i

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,440
mean everyone knows that upgrading from 60hz to 144hz is a much more meaningful

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:04,720
jump than the more incremental jumps from say 165 to 240. that's true and the

14
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:09,840
trend of diminishing returns does continue when you jump from 240 to 360

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,880
but that does not mean that players won't gain an advantage that matters i

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,720
mean this thing feels ungodly smooth as you can imagine and using this new

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,880
blurbusters side by side test you can see that the nameplates on these dota

18
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,680
characters are markedly clear than even on a 240hz monitor according to a paper

19
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,560
published by NVIDIA who worked with ASUS on this fully g-sync monitor high-ranked

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,159
competitive players playing at 360 hertz increased their flick shot accuracy by

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,119
an average of four percent above their own performance playing at 240 hertz now

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,439
four percent may not be worth it to you and your average gamer's wallet but for

23
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:49,200
esports pros that could be the one kill that wins the game the tournament and

24
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,119
the prize money but why are we seeing this monitor now in 2020 was there some

25
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,880
kind of technological breakthrough that's pushing displays forward in a moore's

26
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:04,000
law kind of way well surprisingly not yeah it does use a new 1080p panel from

27
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,080
au optronics but the real trick is increasing the rate that the new frames

28
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,840
are being drawn the refresh rate without screwing up every other link in the

29
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:15,599
display chain it's like if i woke up tomorrow and my legs were six inches

30
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,560
longer yeah i'd be taller but my torso would look short and i would like walk

31
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,680
funny and i might not even be able to reach my own feet is that the kind of

32
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:25,440
height i want it's kind of the same thing here increasing the refresh rate

33
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,200
affects the display's backlight timing because if it can't keep up then you're

34
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,959
gonna get ghosting that's artifacts from previous frames still visible on the

35
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:36,640
current frame it affects pixel response times because if you want the pixels to

36
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,319
change values very quickly you need to supply the liquid crystal membrane with

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,400
the perfect amount of voltage so that it can twist and untwist with a high degree

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,080
of accuracy so you still get proper colors and it affects uniformity across

39
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,239
the display because imperfections are way more noticeable in such a low motion

40
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:55,840
blur environment the fact that all these variables are interconnected is one of

41
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,640
the reasons ASUS worked closely with both the panel manufacturer au optronics

42
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,640
and NVIDIA with this product you see many people think that g-sync means

43
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:08,319
variable refresh rate but it's actually a lot more than that it's a processor

44
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,400
that controls many elements in the display chain from the t-con to the

45
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,360
scalar even the on-screen display the more of these elements that are

46
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,360
controlled by a single company the easier it is to make a high-performance

47
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,720
product it's why iphone displays feel smoother than many Android phone

48
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:26,879
displays even though they're perhaps both amoled made by samsung and maybe

49
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,200
they're both 60 hertz all the ingredients need to work together

50
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:35,280
perfectly for the recipe to work so even if other companies use this panel

51
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,599
sometime in the future after ASUS's exclusivity deal expires like six months

52
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,599
or whatever after this monitor launches in the first half of this year those

53
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:48,959
other displays likely will still use full-on g-sync but how much is it going

54
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,040
to cost that's an interesting question part of the reason that the rog swift

55
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:58,480
360 which may not be its final name by the way exists at all is because of

56
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,480
binning meaning au optronics makes a

57
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,840
batch of panels but just by virtual manufacturing they don't all have the

58
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,720
same performance with a product like this only the top top top panels from

59
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:13,200
this batch will be suitable to become a swift 360. this relates to the price

60
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,600
because it's still unknown how many panels will be good enough to make the

61
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,400
grade ASUS also needs to decide if the 360's launch will push prices of their

62
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:26,400
own other monitors down or if the price of those monitors will stay the same and

63
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,120
this monitor will create a whole new price category all its own iphone 10

64
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:37,280
style what i can say is that the rg swift 360 should be in the 550 to 650

65
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,960
ish us dollar price range and even if

66
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:43,840
you're not hardcore enough to buy one of these this new competitor should make

67
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:48,080
other high refresh rate monitors cheaper than ever speaking of good deals let me

68
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,520
tell you about our sponsor whoa where am i

69
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:54,800
you know what who cares because i'm using pulseway the real-time remote

70
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,040
monitoring and management software that helps you fix problems on the go by

71
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,680
sending commands from any mobile device you can't control your employees but hey

72
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,479
any mobile device you can install and update all your systems on the go from a

73
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,880
single app and you can even deploy custom scripts to automate your it tasks

74
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,919
so you can spend less time working or more time

75
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,360
working in someone else's office god
