1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,080
I have a bit of a confession to make despite having a pretty cool computer

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:10,480
there's something I've neglected a little bit my monitor I'm running the

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,440
same monitor since like 2014 and it's

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:16,440
just always been I don't know is this really good enough to upgrade uh you

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:21,840
know another 100 HZ another 50 HZ a couple more pixels but seriously today I

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,880
think this has changed I'm at the Asus booth at computex 2024 and they're

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:28,960
showing off the Rog Swift OLED PQ 27 AQ

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:34,840
DP a 1440p OLED

9
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:36,480
480 HZ monitor honestly I'm just kind of

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:41,120
at a loss for words they had it running the New Horizon game but we turned the

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,600
FPS counter on and I was like uh it looked great the pixels were clear but

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,440
it was running at 80 FPS I think they need a little bit better computer for this but this game the finals I lowered

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:56,239
all the settings I turned on dlss frame gen and I think we're at 450 FPS now

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:00,280
close I don't know how well this is going to come across on camera but with

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:07,560
the response time of OLED pixels and this refresh rate this is actually nuts

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,880
look at that text Glacier lacoin Cafe I

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:15,040
think it's getting a little bit screw because dlss frame gen but I promise you

18
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,119
it is astonishingly smooth even the gun

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,720
you might recognize this display because we did see it at CES briefly but at that

20
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:26,840
time they were only showing blur Busters because it was such an early sample but

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,040
now we can actually game on it right now we're just playing a 1080p definitely

22
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:36,320
not as sharp as it could be like if I go in here and go you know let's let's turn

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,079
up the settings now I want my my OLED

24
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:46,399
premium viewing experience we can have that now we're down to like 300 FPS but

25
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,240
the game looks a lot better and man I I

26
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:52,840
think I have found my new monitor I've been an ultra wide person for like 10

27
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:57,560
years and I think it's time to change naturally being OLED it does have HDR

28
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,000
features I mean they're saying at a 3% window it's around 1,200 nits 10% window

29
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,119
around 800 nits and a full screen you're around 275 it's not the brightest thing

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,200
we've ever seen but that is also still pretty bright now with HDR enabled

31
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:16,120
calibrated and in the game this is what I've been missing and

32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,400
it's still like because it's OLED don't get me wrong even though we're only

33
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,560
getting 100 something FPS right now it

34
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:27,879
looks smooth that's because the pixels can refresh so fast that it looks clear

35
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,640
at least you can definitely tell if you move around really fast that the frame

36
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:34,959
rate is not quite there but if you had a faster computer or running a game that

37
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,159
runs a little bit better it's pretty much the Best of Both Worlds you're not

38
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:45,239
what what are you losing here maybe Peak brightness or you know when they have a

39
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:49,560
QD OLED version of this naturally let's

40
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:51,640
look at the clarity in a m uniform test

41
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,920
oh my God this might as well just be a printed piece of paper that's like

42
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,920
rolling past is this actually insane but I'm sure you're going to ask it's

43
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,599
expensive right it's definitely not cheap they are targeting the same as the

44
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:09,280
last generation around $1,000 and they're looking to release this early Q3

45
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,319
so we're getting very close but for the amount of display that you're getting

46
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,560
for the money it's not a cheap product but this ticks practically every box the

47
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:24,560
only one that I can see left is CET which I'm sure this time next year

48
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,760
that's probably what we'll be looking at I don't know if I can wait though just

49
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:32,760
like you can't wait for this Segway to our sponsor thanks to private internet

money back guarantee this display has a similar party trick you can turn an

58
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:13,680
individual pixel off when you want to see black it's just it's a little bit

59
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:17,160
bigger and a lot brighter this is a micro LED display and we've seen these

60
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:23,479
on the channel before but the big difference here is the size and it's

61
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:26,919
quite magnificent I actually saw this display at CES about 6 months ago and I

62
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:32,639
asked them like please let me take the bloody thing apart I want to see how it works and they were like oh oh you might

63
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,120
break it but today they've agreed to let us take it

64
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:41,919
apart oh well that wasn't that hard I'm

65
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:45,880
trying to figure out how many pixels are on an individual panel so the pixel

66
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:53,000
pitch which is the distance between each of these tiny little pixels which is its

67
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:55,639
own LED is 0.78 MM we have seen tighter

68
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:03,520
ones but still very cool but it's exactly 10x 10 panels so if I count this

69
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:09,680
there's 10 and then this way twice as wide 10 this way 100 that means how many

70
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:16,639
pixels are on this let's do the math 83,000 pixels on this individual panel

71
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,120
83,000 LEDs that's a lot of LEDs as you

72
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:23,319
might have seen already there is actually two individual pcbs there's

73
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:27,600
just a little tiny gap between them naturally that would create a tiny bit

74
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,560
bigger space between the pixels than you know say in the middle of one of the

75
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:35,960
pcbs so they compensate for that by calibrating the display and increasing

76
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:41,560
the brightness along that edge so that that Gap kind of disappears obviously if

77
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:46,240
you go really close you can see it but at a normal viewing distance they kind

78
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:51,360
of just fade away I'm kind of surprised at how simple it is though it's these

79
00:05:48,039 --> 00:05:55,560
two connectors and then magnets and pins

80
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,880
it just clicks on can I put it on oh I

81
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:02,199
got a little dirty okay gently very

82
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,199
close l behind the

83
00:06:02,919 --> 00:06:08,479
sides that's actually so

84
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:13,080
easy wo and then on the inside we can get a

85
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:17,960
bit of a sneak peek at the PCB behind this unit not unlike a more commercial

86
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:21,599
tiled display it's just all connected together with Ethernet that's how the

87
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,840
signal gets to the individual sections and then broken out into the individual

88
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:31,759
panels it's very a commercial style still but then just distilled down into

89
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:34,599
a much much easier form

90
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:39,599
factor there we go ah look at that there's our Ethernet so there's like a

91
00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:41,280
PCB the cables labeled to go to the PCB

92
00:06:39,599 --> 00:06:45,360
there's a little power supply so it's not power over Ethernet there's

93
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,400
definitely power wires in here it's less complicated than I thought I was

94
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:53,639
expecting this to be like a whole operation but it's just a it's just a

95
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,960
fancy vacuum like I mentioned before 4K

96
00:06:53,639 --> 00:07:02,120
but the peak brightness is 1,600 nits it's 97% DCI P3 color gamut coverage to

97
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:06,960
Asus million to1 contrast ratio which sounds a bit strange right like olev the

98
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:13,319
big thing with microed is you can turn off an individual pixel or LED for that

99
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:17,080
matter so in theory it's it's infinite to one but maybe I guess there's just a

100
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:23,360
little bit more reflection when the display is off so they're like a million to one close enough but my God just look

101
00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:28,720
at the thing from this distance can you see the lines Dennis it's kind of hard

102
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,240
to see sometimes like it's there you can

103
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,680
see the line but you just you just walk back this way

104
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:39,120
and it all just melts into one giant

105
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,720
really bright high contrast display I

106
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:46,960
found one more monitor that you're not going to believe it's not this one

107
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:49,680
though it's in here see it's an OLED on

108
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:55,000
an AO but not just any OLED it's a flexible OLED on an AO I don't know why

109
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:59,319
but I like it and I like you so get subscribed and see you later
