00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.160
Samsung display demanded that I open this package and take a look at what

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:12.320
they and MSI have come up with and you know what I have to say that demanded

00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:18.840
what makes them think that they can tell me sponsored the

00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:21.960
video I see and it's a pretty exciting

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:27.359
one because inside this box is a world's

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:30.519
first it's a laptop a laptop with a

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:32.840
240 HZ display but wait

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.840
there's

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:44.600
more see how it's on but the screen's still black it's OLED and it runs at

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:46.520
1440p resolution making this basically

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:52.280
the dream display that I have been asking manufacturers to build for years

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.120
now all it has to do is live up to my lofty expectations

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:08.799
the competitive advantage of a high refresh rate display is pretty well

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.000
understood at this point there's the intuitive benefit that is if your

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:16.240
display updates more frequently obviously your eyes will get a more

00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:20.439
up-to-date view of what's going on in the game compared to your opponent but

00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:25.200
there's a less obvious benefit as well by reducing the delay or the latency

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:29.479
between moving your hand and the changes being reflected on screen you experience

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:33.520
an improvement in input control that helps especially with tracking

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:37.640
fast-moving targets to be clear this is not enough to turn a novice into a pro

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.240
but if you want to take advantage of every Competitive Edge you'll find a

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:45.200
high refresh rate display beneficial for everything from fast-paced Shooters like

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.079
Doom maternal to even racing games like Forza we could cite our own findings for

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.520
this but we don't have to because we're not the only ones to explore it in an

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:57.119
experiment from hanyang University published in 2019 12 participants in

00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:01.799
their 20s and 30s were selected to play aim hero and in a narrow play field with

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:07.079
a refresh rate of 144 Herz participants were found to be firing just over 3%

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.560
faster with 3% more accuracy than that

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.720
same monitor set to 60 HZ when the play field was widened the results are even

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:20.319
more dramatic with participants playing on 144 HZ firing 4.5% faster with nearly

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:26.120
133% higher accuracy compared to their 60 HZ scores but High refresh rate alone

00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:31.440
is not enough take this display for example it was cobbled together using a

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.720
scaler from zys works and a generic 4K

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:38.599
LCD laptop display way back in 2017 we

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:40.680
had this thing going as high as 480 HZ I

00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:46.400
mean that sounds like a pretty responsive gaming experience right but

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:49.920
the pixels themselves were so slow that they wouldn't even be finished

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:54.560
transitioning to their new state when the next input signal came in turning

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:58.599
everything into a blurry mess as soon as you started panning the camera around

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:02.920
and while modern gaming LCDs have come a long way to over come this effect they

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.360
still rely on tricks like pixel overdrive and backlight strobing Each of

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:12.799
which comes with their own drawbacks like visual anomalies and reduced

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:16.000
brightness but oleds like this one have

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:17.879
naturally much faster response times

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:23.480
Samsung rates this particular panel at roughly 10 times the speed of its LCD

00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:25.640
counterparts that means that aside from

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:32.799
The Buttery smooth animations that we can expect with a 3070 TI driving it at

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:34.560
up to 2004 Herz the image clarity as

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:39.720
fast moving objects are going across the screen is on par or better than the best

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:44.680
desktop gaming displays even compared to the best CRT displays OLED offers

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:49.360
Superior Clarity making them a near enough alternative for all but the

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.840
fussiest of retro Gamers we did a full

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:56.280
video recently comparing OLED and CRT that actually has an extra detailed look

00:03:53.400 --> 00:04:03.840
at David setup over on flp plane.com if you're into that man that Clarity though

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.480
oh it's so sharp who what the crap is

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:12.040
this guy f ah there we go what what the oleds

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.079
are also well known for their ability to turn off individual pixels I've been a

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:20.479
cheerleader for this technology since the first time I laid eyes on it back in

00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:25.479
2013 and it's because the high contrast that's enabled by perfect black levels

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:29.840
does as much for the perceived resolution as increasing the actual

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:35.360
pixel count man does that ever create an immersive atmosphere for darker games

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:37.240
like stray doesn't it oh no kitty I

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:42.320
haven't actually played this yet but it looks great on this on that subject it

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:47.720
feels like for years we were stuck with either 1080P or 4K as our options for

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:54.000
laptop panels and it was so frustrating to me because at honestly anywhere from

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:58.639
13 to 17 in the ideal resolution is

00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:01.440
actually 2560 x440 or 2560 x600 you get

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:06.440
rid of the blockiness of 1080p but without putting the additional strain on

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:11.280
your GPU that comes with 4K at least if you want to run at Native resolution and

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:14.800
someone namely Samsung display finally

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:17.800
listened so not only do we get 240 HZ

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.120
OLED but it runs at 1440p meaning that

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:25.560
the 370 TI in this machine will be able to drive modern games to look their best

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:29.319
and the core i7 12800 HK in here is actually a really important key to this

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:36.160
as well because when you're really trying to push upwards of 100 120 frames

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:40.280
per second CPU performance limitations that you otherwise wouldn't notice start

00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:46.880
to rear their ugly heads man does that look sharp or what like can you make out

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:49.919
a pixel with your eye Brandon no what

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:52.000
just happened like I said it's not going

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:56.560
to turn you into a pro all of a sudden yep I have no idea what happened there

00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:00.440
but apparently I won so maybe I lied maybe it does turn you into a Pro Gamer

00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:03.960
overnight it doesn't but a couple of fun side effects of OLED are that if you're

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.400
playing a game like stray for example that takes place mostly in the dark your

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.360
overall system power consumption will actually go down a small amount and

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:16.880
since OLED displays don't require a backlight Samsung helpfully points out

00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:22.960
that the amount of blue light that they emit in the 415 to 455 NM wavelength

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:27.240
range is actually greatly lessened here take a look at this this shiny little

00:06:24.919 --> 00:06:32.479
disc right here is a band pass filter that only allows light through in the

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:36.800
436 NM wavelength when we hold it up to a camera and look at an LCD display you

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:42.440
can see how much blue light is coming through but when we use the band pass

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.880
filter on our OLED display you can

00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:49.000
hardly tell that it's on at all neat right by using dark mode in applications

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:53.560
that support it OLED can reduce power consumption and reduce eye strain caused

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.280
by Blue Light anyway the ability to control pixels individually comes with a

00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:03.479
plethora of other benefits with a brightness floor of only. 05 nits there

00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:06.840
is a vast expanse of potential colors that can be displayed that normally

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.879
wouldn't be possible and with a great number of colors comes a greater

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:15.039
perceived contrast this is a phenomenon we've talked about before and it's

00:07:12.479 --> 00:07:19.160
called the hel Holts K rash effect where colors like yellow and green appear

00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:24.479
darker than other colors like red and magenta you see our eyes treat

00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:29.759
saturation and Hue as though they're the same thing as brightness silly eyes

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:35.560
that's not how light works eyes more like lies am I

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.199
right well this effect becomes increasingly pronounced when these

00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:43.319
colors are on a background that shares a similar level of lightness like this

00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:48.039
gray that you're looking at here using a backlight causes blacks to increase in

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:53.000
lightness changing them to more of a shade of gray this reduces contrast

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:58.520
causing all colors but especially yellow and green to appear dimmer by comparison

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:03.560
this defect in our eyeballs or more realistically in our brain's perception

00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:08.759
is being taken advantage of by this laptop it can actually appear brighter

00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:14.159
without needing to be brighter and dimmer screen equal more battery life

00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:20.000
battery life in laptop good good like colorful banana from LTT Store.com and

00:08:17.159 --> 00:08:25.039
the obvious other benefit of more accurate more Rich color is in Creative

00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:29.840
applications like look at this here is the upcoming Channel Super Fun where

00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:34.440
Dennis attempts to hide in my house again doing a lot of damage to my house

00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:38.839
like look at this what is logistics dragging up my driveway here's a hint

00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:44.240
it's not a Valencia chair it's Dennis and Colton whatever its capabilities are

00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:48.080
MSI is marketing the Raider g67 HX as more of a gaming machine than a Creator

00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:52.920
machine so why don't we take a look at it over on the left we've got usba USBC

00:08:50.839 --> 00:08:58.320
as well as a headphone microphone combo Jack tons of cooling more cooling at the

00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:03.040
back along with 2 and 1/2 gig Ethernet Thunderbolt HDMI and Power in and over

00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.640
on the right we've got an SD card reader and two more USB type A ports and

00:09:05.079 --> 00:09:12.760
there's this delightful little RGB underglow thing over at the front it

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:14.160
weighs just over 5 lbs that's 2.4 kilos

00:09:12.760 --> 00:09:17.640
if you're into that kind of thing so it's not a super lightweight laptop by

00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:21.320
any means but it's not going to be a complete back breaker to carry around

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:24.600
either when you consider the power inside it it's downright reasonable

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:31.200
there are a few different configurations of this model but on top of our Intel

00:09:27.040 --> 00:09:34.680
Core i7 12800 HX and 370 TI laptop GPU

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:36.560
in ours we've got a 1 tbte ndme gen 4x4

00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:42.480
with another fourth gen slot open for expansion 16 gigs of ddr5 4800 megat

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.079
transfer per second RAM Wi-Fi 6C a

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:49.920
99.9 hour battery which is the legal limit to carry onto a plane and as we

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:55.000
mentioned before the display is 15.6 in with a resolution of 1440p and if you

00:09:52.120 --> 00:10:00.640
haven't been following along it's OLED freaking OLED freaking finally other

00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:07.079
configuration bump the graphics card up to a 3080 or 3080 TI can include up to

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:08.959
an I9 12900 HX up to 32 gigs of RAM and

00:10:07.079 --> 00:10:12.440
come with Windows 11 Pro instead of home with prices starting at

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:15.920
$2,300 so you can check out the links to this guy down below big thanks again to

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:19.760
Samsung display for showing us the future of laptop displays and for

00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:26.000
sponsoring this video if you want to see more why not check out our Neo G9

00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:30.519
showcase it is very long and very curved

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.519
which is not something I knew I wanted
