Samsung display demanded that I open this package and take a look at what
they and MSI have come up with and you know what I have to say that demanded
what makes them think that they can tell me sponsored the
video I see and it's a pretty exciting
one because inside this box is a world's
first it's a laptop a laptop with a
240 HZ display but wait
there's
more see how it's on but the screen's still black it's OLED and it runs at
1440p resolution making this basically
the dream display that I have been asking manufacturers to build for years
now all it has to do is live up to my lofty expectations
the competitive advantage of a high refresh rate display is pretty well
understood at this point there's the intuitive benefit that is if your
display updates more frequently obviously your eyes will get a more
up-to-date view of what's going on in the game compared to your opponent but
there's a less obvious benefit as well by reducing the delay or the latency
between moving your hand and the changes being reflected on screen you experience
an improvement in input control that helps especially with tracking
fast-moving targets to be clear this is not enough to turn a novice into a pro
but if you want to take advantage of every Competitive Edge you'll find a
high refresh rate display beneficial for everything from fast-paced Shooters like
Doom maternal to even racing games like Forza we could cite our own findings for
this but we don't have to because we're not the only ones to explore it in an
experiment from hanyang University published in 2019 12 participants in
their 20s and 30s were selected to play aim hero and in a narrow play field with
a refresh rate of 144 Herz participants were found to be firing just over 3%
faster with 3% more accuracy than that
same monitor set to 60 HZ when the play field was widened the results are even
more dramatic with participants playing on 144 HZ firing 4.5% faster with nearly
133% higher accuracy compared to their 60 HZ scores but High refresh rate alone
is not enough take this display for example it was cobbled together using a
scaler from zys works and a generic 4K
LCD laptop display way back in 2017 we
had this thing going as high as 480 HZ I
mean that sounds like a pretty responsive gaming experience right but
the pixels themselves were so slow that they wouldn't even be finished
transitioning to their new state when the next input signal came in turning
everything into a blurry mess as soon as you started panning the camera around
and while modern gaming LCDs have come a long way to over come this effect they
still rely on tricks like pixel overdrive and backlight strobing Each of
which comes with their own drawbacks like visual anomalies and reduced
brightness but oleds like this one have
naturally much faster response times
Samsung rates this particular panel at roughly 10 times the speed of its LCD
counterparts that means that aside from
The Buttery smooth animations that we can expect with a 3070 TI driving it at
up to 2004 Herz the image clarity as
fast moving objects are going across the screen is on par or better than the best
desktop gaming displays even compared to the best CRT displays OLED offers
Superior Clarity making them a near enough alternative for all but the
fussiest of retro Gamers we did a full
video recently comparing OLED and CRT that actually has an extra detailed look
at David setup over on flp plane.com if you're into that man that Clarity though
oh it's so sharp who what the crap is
this guy f ah there we go what what the oleds
are also well known for their ability to turn off individual pixels I've been a
cheerleader for this technology since the first time I laid eyes on it back in
2013 and it's because the high contrast that's enabled by perfect black levels
does as much for the perceived resolution as increasing the actual
pixel count man does that ever create an immersive atmosphere for darker games
like stray doesn't it oh no kitty I
haven't actually played this yet but it looks great on this on that subject it
feels like for years we were stuck with either 1080P or 4K as our options for
laptop panels and it was so frustrating to me because at honestly anywhere from
13 to 17 in the ideal resolution is
actually 2560 x440 or 2560 x600 you get
rid of the blockiness of 1080p but without putting the additional strain on
your GPU that comes with 4K at least if you want to run at Native resolution and
someone namely Samsung display finally
listened so not only do we get 240 HZ
OLED but it runs at 1440p meaning that
the 370 TI in this machine will be able to drive modern games to look their best
and the core i7 12800 HK in here is actually a really important key to this
as well because when you're really trying to push upwards of 100 120 frames
per second CPU performance limitations that you otherwise wouldn't notice start
to rear their ugly heads man does that look sharp or what like can you make out
a pixel with your eye Brandon no what
just happened like I said it's not going
to turn you into a pro all of a sudden yep I have no idea what happened there
but apparently I won so maybe I lied maybe it does turn you into a Pro Gamer
overnight it doesn't but a couple of fun side effects of OLED are that if you're
playing a game like stray for example that takes place mostly in the dark your
overall system power consumption will actually go down a small amount and
since OLED displays don't require a backlight Samsung helpfully points out
that the amount of blue light that they emit in the 415 to 455 NM wavelength
range is actually greatly lessened here take a look at this this shiny little
disc right here is a band pass filter that only allows light through in the
436 NM wavelength when we hold it up to a camera and look at an LCD display you
can see how much blue light is coming through but when we use the band pass
filter on our OLED display you can
hardly tell that it's on at all neat right by using dark mode in applications
that support it OLED can reduce power consumption and reduce eye strain caused
by Blue Light anyway the ability to control pixels individually comes with a
plethora of other benefits with a brightness floor of only. 05 nits there
is a vast expanse of potential colors that can be displayed that normally
wouldn't be possible and with a great number of colors comes a greater
perceived contrast this is a phenomenon we've talked about before and it's
called the hel Holts K rash effect where colors like yellow and green appear
darker than other colors like red and magenta you see our eyes treat
saturation and Hue as though they're the same thing as brightness silly eyes
that's not how light works eyes more like lies am I
right well this effect becomes increasingly pronounced when these
colors are on a background that shares a similar level of lightness like this
gray that you're looking at here using a backlight causes blacks to increase in
lightness changing them to more of a shade of gray this reduces contrast
causing all colors but especially yellow and green to appear dimmer by comparison
this defect in our eyeballs or more realistically in our brain's perception
is being taken advantage of by this laptop it can actually appear brighter
without needing to be brighter and dimmer screen equal more battery life
battery life in laptop good good like colorful banana from LTT Store.com and
the obvious other benefit of more accurate more Rich color is in Creative
applications like look at this here is the upcoming Channel Super Fun where
Dennis attempts to hide in my house again doing a lot of damage to my house
like look at this what is logistics dragging up my driveway here's a hint
it's not a Valencia chair it's Dennis and Colton whatever its capabilities are
MSI is marketing the Raider g67 HX as more of a gaming machine than a Creator
machine so why don't we take a look at it over on the left we've got usba USBC
as well as a headphone microphone combo Jack tons of cooling more cooling at the
back along with 2 and 1/2 gig Ethernet Thunderbolt HDMI and Power in and over
on the right we've got an SD card reader and two more USB type A ports and
there's this delightful little RGB underglow thing over at the front it
weighs just over 5 lbs that's 2.4 kilos
if you're into that kind of thing so it's not a super lightweight laptop by
any means but it's not going to be a complete back breaker to carry around
either when you consider the power inside it it's downright reasonable
there are a few different configurations of this model but on top of our Intel
Core i7 12800 HX and 370 TI laptop GPU
in ours we've got a 1 tbte ndme gen 4x4
with another fourth gen slot open for expansion 16 gigs of ddr5 4800 megat
transfer per second RAM Wi-Fi 6C a
99.9 hour battery which is the legal limit to carry onto a plane and as we
mentioned before the display is 15.6 in with a resolution of 1440p and if you
haven't been following along it's OLED freaking OLED freaking finally other
configuration bump the graphics card up to a 3080 or 3080 TI can include up to
an I9 12900 HX up to 32 gigs of RAM and
come with Windows 11 Pro instead of home with prices starting at
$2,300 so you can check out the links to this guy down below big thanks again to
Samsung display for showing us the future of laptop displays and for
sponsoring this video if you want to see more why not check out our Neo G9
showcase it is very long and very curved
which is not something I knew I wanted
