00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.279
when you're talking about high refresh rate gaming monitors what counts as high

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.800
144 hertz 240 hertz well be prepared to

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:13.200
rewrite your personal dictionary because i'm standing in the ASUS suite where

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

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:20.520
fool's joke that they made last year this time the 360 means a refresh rate

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:24.560
of a staggering 360 hearts how do they build this what's

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

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.719

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:44.669
business at the link below

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:53.920
i know you're thinking 360 hertz is probably way overkill for most people i

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:59.440
mean everyone knows that upgrading from 60hz to 144hz is a much more meaningful

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:04.720
jump than the more incremental jumps from say 165 to 240. that's true and the

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:09.840
trend of diminishing returns does continue when you jump from 240 to 360

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.880
but that does not mean that players won't gain an advantage that matters i

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:18.720
mean this thing feels ungodly smooth as you can imagine and using this new

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.880
blurbusters side by side test you can see that the nameplates on these dota

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:27.680
characters are markedly clear than even on a 240hz monitor according to a paper

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.560
published by NVIDIA who worked with ASUS on this fully g-sync monitor high-ranked

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.159
competitive players playing at 360 hertz increased their flick shot accuracy by

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.119
an average of four percent above their own performance playing at 240 hertz now

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

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:49.200
esports pros that could be the one kill that wins the game the tournament and

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.119
the prize money but why are we seeing this monitor now in 2020 was there some

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.880
kind of technological breakthrough that's pushing displays forward in a moore's

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:04.000
law kind of way well surprisingly not yeah it does use a new 1080p panel from

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:08.080
au optronics but the real trick is increasing the rate that the new frames

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.840
are being drawn the refresh rate without screwing up every other link in the

00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:15.599
display chain it's like if i woke up tomorrow and my legs were six inches

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

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

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.440
height i want it's kind of the same thing here increasing the refresh rate

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:29.200
affects the display's backlight timing because if it can't keep up then you're

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.959
gonna get ghosting that's artifacts from previous frames still visible on the

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:36.640
current frame it affects pixel response times because if you want the pixels to

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:40.319
change values very quickly you need to supply the liquid crystal membrane with

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:44.400
the perfect amount of voltage so that it can twist and untwist with a high degree

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.080
of accuracy so you still get proper colors and it affects uniformity across

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:52.239
the display because imperfections are way more noticeable in such a low motion

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:55.840
blur environment the fact that all these variables are interconnected is one of

00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.640
the reasons ASUS worked closely with both the panel manufacturer au optronics

00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:04.640
and NVIDIA with this product you see many people think that g-sync means

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:08.319
variable refresh rate but it's actually a lot more than that it's a processor

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:12.400
that controls many elements in the display chain from the t-con to the

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.360
scalar even the on-screen display the more of these elements that are

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:19.360
controlled by a single company the easier it is to make a high-performance

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:22.720
product it's why iphone displays feel smoother than many Android phone

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:26.879
displays even though they're perhaps both amoled made by samsung and maybe

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:31.200
they're both 60 hertz all the ingredients need to work together

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:35.280
perfectly for the recipe to work so even if other companies use this panel

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.599
sometime in the future after ASUS's exclusivity deal expires like six months

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:43.599
or whatever after this monitor launches in the first half of this year those

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.959
other displays likely will still use full-on g-sync but how much is it going

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.040
to cost that's an interesting question part of the reason that the rog swift

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

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:00.480
binning meaning au optronics makes a

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:03.840
batch of panels but just by virtual manufacturing they don't all have the

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.720
same performance with a product like this only the top top top panels from

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:13.200
this batch will be suitable to become a swift 360. this relates to the price

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.600
because it's still unknown how many panels will be good enough to make the

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:22.400
grade ASUS also needs to decide if the 360's launch will push prices of their

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:26.400
own other monitors down or if the price of those monitors will stay the same and

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:31.120
this monitor will create a whole new price category all its own iphone 10

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

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.960
ish us dollar price range and even if

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:43.840
you're not hardcore enough to buy one of these this new competitor should make

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:48.080
other high refresh rate monitors cheaper than ever speaking of good deals let me

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:51.520
tell you about our sponsor whoa where am i

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.800
you know what who cares because i'm using pulseway the real-time remote

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:59.040
monitoring and management software that helps you fix problems on the go by

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:03.680
sending commands from any mobile device you can't control your employees but hey

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:06.479
any mobile device you can install and update all your systems on the go from a

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.880
single app and you can even deploy custom scripts to automate your it tasks

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:15.919
so you can spend less time working or more time

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.360
working in someone else's office god
