WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:13.200
point or another where we upgrade at exactly the wrong time and when i did my

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

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.880
format gaming display 4k 120hz

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.080
in between me filming it and me releasing the video

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.400
lg released a firmware update that took

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:38.480
their 2019 models both their c series and their b series

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:42.239
and added both g-sync support and

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:45.280
support for 4k resolution at up to 120

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:47.680
hertz over HDMI 2.1

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:53.120
and here's the kicker for the same size it's an even lower

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:57.760
price ridge wallet is the sleek way to keep wallet bulge down with its compact

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:01.810
frame and rfid blocking inner plates use offer code Linus to save 10 and get free

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:10.000
worldwide shipping at the link below

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.080
oh i cannot wait to open this first though i'm gonna walk you guys

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

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:24.799
bfgd it's a great gaming experience 4k up to 144 hertz actually if you're

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.680
willing to deal with some chroma sub sampling fringing around text movies

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:35.119
look great thanks to its 384 zone local dimming thousand nit peak brightness but

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:40.079
when you're paying five thousand dollars for a display it's not about is it

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.280
really great it's about is it the best and there have been some inconveniences

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:47.759
that have kind of driven me nuts with this thing some of them are minor so

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:51.680
there is some halo effect around bright objects but it's really not that

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.159
noticeable unless you're moving a cursor around on the screen or you're looking

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

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

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.119
even worse not to mention that ASUS still hasn't addressed compatibility

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:13.360
with logitech's harmony universal remotes so i can't tie it all into the

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:18.640
rest of my setup and have everything start up with one button and finally is

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:25.520
that because it uses displayport to achieve its high refresh rates there is

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:27.040
no way to get high definition audio off

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.360
of my pc because with HDMI you would pass through

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:36.239
your receiver which would send it out to your speakers and then that would go to

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:40.640
your tv but displayport doesn't have an audio return channel and you can't go

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

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:45.680
think of it i guess

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.760
so on paper anyway this is the absolute

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:57.280
ultimate it's OLED so you've got individual pixel dimming no halos

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:01.760
infinite contrast all that good stuff because it can actually turn off every

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:06.640
single pixel on the display it's 4k which is a great resolution for this

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:09.519
size it's huge it's got built-in google

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:14.879
assistant and of course for me the big thing is that even from a gaming

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:21.680
standpoint it looks at least on the surface like basically

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.080
zero compromise 120 hertz 4k

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:29.280
that's a big deal but more important than that

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:32.080
is that it also boasts extremely

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:36.400
low input leg thanks to a technique lg is using where they're using a line

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:43.280
buffer rather than a frame buffer to boast input leg as low as 6.6

00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:46.239
milliseconds and then the cherry on top

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:51.360
is that lg has implemented HDMI 2.1 on this thing giving us enhanced audio

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:54.879
return channel come on baby you got this there we go

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

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:03.360
any unnecessary processing give you that nice low latency and of course

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:07.840
variable refresh rate this is the first tv

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:14.159
outside of NVIDIA's own partner offerings like their bfgds that is

00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:15.519
g-sync compatible and the coolest thing

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:19.759
about it is that normally you'd have to get a

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

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.720
regular old g-sync compatible display

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:32.639
but because it happens to have flippin awesome HDR support

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:38.600
you get both and there's no g-sync module uh

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:38.600
sweetheart no

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

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.360
on here and Yvonne went to a parent teacher

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

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.320
camera all right all right all right

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:03.680
okay okay

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

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:11.600
there's only one way to do this the brute force way

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:18.400
okay you know i think it is actually lighter than the other one okay

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

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:27.440
i never really bought it before i think i'm converted

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:32.520
you think it's never too big that doesn't look ridiculous here we go

00:05:39.919 --> 00:05:46.960
hey just like that oh thank goodness

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.960
there it is ark yes well it took a while

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:55.680
but we're hooked up now now all you need to see is 1440p 120

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:59.440
hertz g-sync

00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:04.880
is it gonna work i don't see a g-sync option in here

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

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:14.160
here uh i just want to play with that

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:18.560
so while our HDR game is installing i actually grabbed this is called a time

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

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.360
before but theoretically all we got to do is flip over to HDMI 4

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.199
and then pop this bad boy on here so we've got a

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:36.080
couple of interesting things to report here most of the movie viewing picture

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:39.520
modes have around 100 milliseconds of input delay

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:44.479
whereas game mode boom we're down at around 32

00:06:42.479 --> 00:06:49.360
milliseconds remember guys that the time sleuth here is outputting a 60 hertz

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.440
signal so that is pretty darn good for that considering that you're going to

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:58.880
have up to a 16 millisecond delay just from the delay of only drawing one

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:01.199
frame every 16.66 milliseconds

00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:06.720
wait did that just drop down to 12. now lg said that they could achieve less

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.800
than one frame with their line buffer instead of

00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:15.840
frame buffer but that is that is less than 60 milliseconds here i

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:18.560
was explaining it away i mean the rest of them are not

00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:23.120
particularly impressive and what i was a little bit disappointed to find out is

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

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:32.960
the additional settings and configure i mean instant game responses

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:38.720
on but that doesn't seem to actually decrease

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.039
the input lag in this mode um

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

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

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:55.520
that is a gorgeous image you know what though this is the first

00:07:53.440 --> 00:08:00.240
time that i've been like that is 4k enough resolution this is a

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

00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:07.840
reasonable distance yeah that's pretty sharp

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:13.360
man that looks good i mean the bfgd was good but the the

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:18.160
sharpness that you get when there's no dimming zones

00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:21.840
that's unreal like you know when the sun is glinting off of individual hairs you

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.639
know it's it's different now one compromise here

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

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:34.000
releases an HDMI 2.1 graphics card

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

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:43.360
even at 77 inches here honestly guys input lag feels easily as good as a

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.640
high-end gaming monitor it managed to kick itself over into game mode

00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:50.720
automatically which is pretty sweet and when you're running around like this

00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:55.360
the odds of noticing something like a slight reduction in resolution

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

00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:05.920
so bad how did i do that

00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:08.920
oh thank goodness that's more like it

00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:08.920
wow

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.680
that is outstanding really makes a difference to the way

00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:19.839
that the light looks when you've got these direct rays that

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.240
bounce off the ground so bright like that

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:27.839
that is freaking awesome you ever seen this look this good andy

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:32.320
and that's it i've seen everything i need to see this

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:34.320
is my end game tv and i'm having a hard

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:38.480
time imagining what would be a huge upgrade over it at this time when

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

00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:47.120
for gaming lg has fixed the input lag issues

00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:51.680
and they cranked it to 120 hertz but the craziest thing about today's

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

00:09:53.200 --> 00:10:02.480
yeah this one's the best the pricing for this isn't even that

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:05.440
outlandish the 77 inch is the same price

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:09.839
as bfgd's were at their launch a couple short months ago

00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:14.880
and the 65-inch visits the same size as the bfge is actually about the same

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:18.640
price and it's better in almost every way it looks so

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:24.320
good now there are a couple of advantages for a bfgd you can go to 120

00:10:20.959 --> 00:10:26.880
hertz 4k or even 144 today instead of

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

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:36.240
whereas the window only goes from 40 to 60 or 40 to 120 depending on what

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:41.600
refresh rate you're running at here but personally i would take those

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

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

00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:56.720
help you out with that grab something for yourself for that audiophile on your

00:10:52.640 --> 00:10:59.360
nice list with their deals of the decade

00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:04.720
the massdrop sennheiser pc37x gaming headset is now 90 instead of 120. the

00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:10.880
massdrop sennheiser openback hd58x is 130 bucks instead of 150 the mr speaker

00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:14.560
ether closed headphones are 750 instead of 900 and these deals won't last long

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.320
so check them out at the link in the video description

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

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
