1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,919
with the pace of modern technology it's bound to happen to all of us at some

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:13,200
point or another where we upgrade at exactly the wrong time and when i did my

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:20,640
video where i changed out my OLED tv and my media center here for this ASUS big

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,880
format gaming display 4k 120hz

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,080
in between me filming it and me releasing the video

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,400
lg released a firmware update that took

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:38,480
their 2019 models both their c series and their b series

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:42,239
and added both g-sync support and

9
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,280
support for 4k resolution at up to 120

10
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:47,680
hertz over HDMI 2.1

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:53,120
and here's the kicker for the same size it's an even lower

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,760
price ridge wallet is the sleek way to keep wallet bulge down with its compact

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,810
frame and rfid blocking inner plates use offer code Linus to save 10 and get free

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:10,000
worldwide shipping at the link below

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,080
oh i cannot wait to open this first though i'm gonna walk you guys

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:20,960
through what i'm replacing with it so to be clear there's nothing wrong with a

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,799
bfgd it's a great gaming experience 4k up to 144 hertz actually if you're

18
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,680
willing to deal with some chroma sub sampling fringing around text movies

19
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:35,119
look great thanks to its 384 zone local dimming thousand nit peak brightness but

20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:40,079
when you're paying five thousand dollars for a display it's not about is it

21
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:43,280
really great it's about is it the best and there have been some inconveniences

22
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:47,759
that have kind of driven me nuts with this thing some of them are minor so

23
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,680
there is some halo effect around bright objects but it's really not that

24
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:56,159
noticeable unless you're moving a cursor around on the screen or you're looking

25
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,719
at it off axis there's a cooling fan in it that i can actually hear during quiet

26
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,680
parts of a movie that kind of ground my gears the ui sucks and the remote is

27
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:09,119
even worse not to mention that ASUS still hasn't addressed compatibility

28
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:13,360
with logitech's harmony universal remotes so i can't tie it all into the

29
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:18,640
rest of my setup and have everything start up with one button and finally is

30
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:25,520
that because it uses displayport to achieve its high refresh rates there is

31
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,040
no way to get high definition audio off

32
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,360
of my pc because with HDMI you would pass through

33
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:36,239
your receiver which would send it out to your speakers and then that would go to

34
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,640
your tv but displayport doesn't have an audio return channel and you can't go

35
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,680
through the receiver to it it's like so they just kind of i guess just didn't

36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,680
think of it i guess

37
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,760
so on paper anyway this is the absolute

38
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:57,280
ultimate it's OLED so you've got individual pixel dimming no halos

39
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,760
infinite contrast all that good stuff because it can actually turn off every

40
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,640
single pixel on the display it's 4k which is a great resolution for this

41
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:09,519
size it's huge it's got built-in google

42
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:14,879
assistant and of course for me the big thing is that even from a gaming

43
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:21,680
standpoint it looks at least on the surface like basically

44
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,080
zero compromise 120 hertz 4k

45
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:29,280
that's a big deal but more important than that

46
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,080
is that it also boasts extremely

47
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:36,400
low input leg thanks to a technique lg is using where they're using a line

48
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:43,280
buffer rather than a frame buffer to boast input leg as low as 6.6

49
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:46,239
milliseconds and then the cherry on top

50
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:51,360
is that lg has implemented HDMI 2.1 on this thing giving us enhanced audio

51
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,879
return channel come on baby you got this there we go

52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,640
auto low latency mode so you plug in a device like an xbox and it'll turn off

53
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:03,360
any unnecessary processing give you that nice low latency and of course

54
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,840
variable refresh rate this is the first tv

55
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:14,159
outside of NVIDIA's own partner offerings like their bfgds that is

56
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,519
g-sync compatible and the coolest thing

57
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:19,759
about it is that normally you'd have to get a

58
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:26,320
g-sync ultimate display in order to have both g-sync and HDR here you've got a

59
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,720
regular old g-sync compatible display

60
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,639
but because it happens to have flippin awesome HDR support

61
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:38,600
you get both and there's no g-sync module uh

62
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,600
sweetheart no

63
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,600
no no means not hide it means no it means go now i just got to get this

64
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:53,360
on here and Yvonne went to a parent teacher

65
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:58,320
conference so i'll be doing it myself if i drop it make sure you catch it on

66
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,320
camera all right all right all right

67
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,680
okay okay

68
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,639
can i even get this on here i don't even know it's gonna be really close well

69
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,600
there's only one way to do this the brute force way

70
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,400
okay you know i think it is actually lighter than the other one okay

71
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:23,120
you know people told me that you could have a tv that's too big for a space and

72
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:27,440
i never really bought it before i think i'm converted

73
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,520
you think it's never too big that doesn't look ridiculous here we go

74
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:46,960
hey just like that oh thank goodness

75
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,960
there it is ark yes well it took a while

76
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:55,680
but we're hooked up now now all you need to see is 1440p 120

77
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:59,440
hertz g-sync

78
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:04,880
is it gonna work i don't see a g-sync option in here

79
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:08,400
ah that ain't a great sign i also don't see 1442 what is going on

80
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:14,160
here uh i just want to play with that

81
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:18,560
so while our HDR game is installing i actually grabbed this is called a time

82
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,960
sleuth and what it is is it's an input leg measurer i've never actually used it

83
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:27,360
before but theoretically all we got to do is flip over to HDMI 4

84
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,199
and then pop this bad boy on here so we've got a

85
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,080
couple of interesting things to report here most of the movie viewing picture

86
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:39,520
modes have around 100 milliseconds of input delay

87
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:44,479
whereas game mode boom we're down at around 32

88
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:49,360
milliseconds remember guys that the time sleuth here is outputting a 60 hertz

89
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,440
signal so that is pretty darn good for that considering that you're going to

90
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:58,880
have up to a 16 millisecond delay just from the delay of only drawing one

91
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:01,199
frame every 16.66 milliseconds

92
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:06,720
wait did that just drop down to 12. now lg said that they could achieve less

93
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,800
than one frame with their line buffer instead of

94
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:15,840
frame buffer but that is that is less than 60 milliseconds here i

95
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,560
was explaining it away i mean the rest of them are not

96
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:23,120
particularly impressive and what i was a little bit disappointed to find out is

97
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:28,000
that even in something like you know an isf expert mode you can't just go into

98
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,960
the additional settings and configure i mean instant game responses

99
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,720
on but that doesn't seem to actually decrease

100
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,039
the input lag in this mode um

101
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:47,120
so there you go well our game's not done yet but that's okay i can work with that

102
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,759
why don't we just fire up the shield and have a look at some HDR movies then man

103
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:55,520
that is a gorgeous image you know what though this is the first

104
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:00,240
time that i've been like that is 4k enough resolution this is a

105
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:03,680
big tv mind you i'm standing like this close to it if i'm sitting at a more

106
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,840
reasonable distance yeah that's pretty sharp

107
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:13,360
man that looks good i mean the bfgd was good but the the

108
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:18,160
sharpness that you get when there's no dimming zones

109
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:21,840
that's unreal like you know when the sun is glinting off of individual hairs you

110
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:26,639
know it's it's different now one compromise here

111
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:32,399
is that in order to run at 120 hertz we do have to run at 1440p until NVIDIA

112
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,000
releases an HDMI 2.1 graphics card

113
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:39,120
but i'm going to sit at a reasonable distance and see if that's a problem

114
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:43,360
even at 77 inches here honestly guys input lag feels easily as good as a

115
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,640
high-end gaming monitor it managed to kick itself over into game mode

116
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,720
automatically which is pretty sweet and when you're running around like this

117
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:55,360
the odds of noticing something like a slight reduction in resolution

118
00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:00,959
seems pretty slim you know what's up bro oh i missed wow i suck i'm

119
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:05,920
so bad how did i do that

120
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,920
oh thank goodness that's more like it

121
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,920
wow

122
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,680
that is outstanding really makes a difference to the way

123
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,839
that the light looks when you've got these direct rays that

124
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,240
bounce off the ground so bright like that

125
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:27,839
that is freaking awesome you ever seen this look this good andy

126
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,320
and that's it i've seen everything i need to see this

127
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:34,320
is my end game tv and i'm having a hard

128
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:38,480
time imagining what would be a huge upgrade over it at this time when

129
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:43,279
i got my first OLED i was like the picture's amazing but this is not great

130
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:47,120
for gaming lg has fixed the input lag issues

131
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:51,680
and they cranked it to 120 hertz but the craziest thing about today's

132
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:55,040
video is not all of that it's that unlike most of the time that i'm like

133
00:09:53,200 --> 00:10:02,480
yeah this one's the best the pricing for this isn't even that

134
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:05,440
outlandish the 77 inch is the same price

135
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:09,839
as bfgd's were at their launch a couple short months ago

136
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:14,880
and the 65-inch visits the same size as the bfge is actually about the same

137
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:18,640
price and it's better in almost every way it looks so

138
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:24,320
good now there are a couple of advantages for a bfgd you can go to 120

139
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:26,880
hertz 4k or even 144 today instead of

140
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:31,680
waiting for an HDMI 2.1 graphics card and it's got that full g-sync range

141
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:36,240
whereas the window only goes from 40 to 60 or 40 to 120 depending on what

142
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:41,600
refresh rate you're running at here but personally i would take those

143
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:46,160
minor trade-offs any day of the week for a picture that looks like this why hope

144
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:50,560
for a great present when you can just buy what you want now drop.com wants to

145
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:56,720
help you out with that grab something for yourself for that audiophile on your

146
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:59,360
nice list with their deals of the decade

147
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:04,720
the massdrop sennheiser pc37x gaming headset is now 90 instead of 120. the

148
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:10,880
massdrop sennheiser openback hd58x is 130 bucks instead of 150 the mr speaker

149
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:14,560
ether closed headphones are 750 instead of 900 and these deals won't last long

150
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,320
so check them out at the link in the video description

151
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,519
so thanks for watching guys if you blew all your money on a tv like this and you

152
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:26,920
want a cheap gaming monitor we just did a roundup so you guys can check that out

153
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,920
at the link in the video description
