okay so this monitor has appeared in
like four videos i think at this point on our channel so
you probably know how amazing it is it's
got a whole laundry list of features some of which
you might actually care a lot about like a 4k resolution screen
144 hertz depending on how you interpret that refresh rate and i mean it's got
some other stuff that you might not care about uh HDR g-sync professional grade
color accuracy and of course ah oh it's heavy
RGB lighting oh and of course right it costs 2 000 freaking dollars
but what if you could take away the extra RGB cherries on top and just
get the stuff that you really care about the 4k and the high refresh rate
this my friends is the wasabi
mango which
yes is really what it's called
thank you korea this is their uhd 430 it's a 43 inch 120
hertz 4k display for over five hundred dollars less than
this one over here thermaltake's vue 71k supports mini itx
micro atx atx and eatx motherboards with
a variety of mounting options for your GPU and radiator check it out today at
the link below
so the wasabi mango uhd 430 believe it
or not was actually the first commercially available monitor to take
full advantage of the displayport 1.4 spec which means that over a single
cable it has enough bandwidth for the display's 3840 by 2160 resolution at 120
hertz without any chroma subsampling
so no it's not 144 hertz but depending
who you ask neither is this one by the way you
should check out the full review for this thing here it is it is pretty freaking amazing
so you might be wondering if the uhd430
came out first why is this review only coming out now
that's because this thing is only available for purchase in south korea
but now thanks to enterprising exporters you can
actually get your very own in north america on ebay for fourteen hundred
dollars with free international shipping that is a
full six hundred dollars cheaper than the ASUS and acer offerings hold on a
second it's 43 inches it does have DisplayPort but is this thing just a tv
with displayport is it even any good for gaming
uh yeah yeah it is like this thing might kind of
look like a tv like look at this look at this stand here and everything
it might even kind of like smell like a tv
but it feels it games like a gaming
monitor i mean we consistently saw
impressively low input lag and even the
response times feel great considering that this is an ips panel like there's
barely any motion blur to be seen on it now of course
going for a budget option can i call a 1400 monitor
budget i mean first there is no variable refresh rate
technology no g-sync no freesync even and since 4k games take
a lot of uh peppa to run well you're likely to be in the
40 to 60 FPS range when you're playing
aaa titles even if you're running a gtx 1080 ti or a titan v
like this machine is actually and that's the exact frame rate range
where the most dramatic effects of variable refresh rate can be seen
with that said your mileage may vary depending on the games you play and even
how much you notice or care about tearing or stuttering and that sort of
thing also there is a chance that the
uhd430 will get a freesync support in the
future via a firmware update that's actually the method that wasabi mango
used to upgrade their uhd420
way back in 2015 uht420
compromise number the next is uh the HDR
that uh oh yes there it is so it's on the box and they claim it
supports HDR but this is one of those
hdrint kind of displays where it only
reaches 400 nit peak brightness true HDR really demands a minimum of a
thousand nits peak brightness and while we're at it we should note that you
can't get 120 hertz 10 bit color
and HDR turned on all at the same time
you actually need to turn the refresh rate down to 98 hertz to really
experience HDR otherwise the bit depth
gets downgraded to 8-bit
which i mean on the subject of bit depths and color accuracy
um well the au optronics panel that is in
the ASUS pg27uq and the acer x27
is a quantum dot panel giving it very accurate color over a wide gamut
this one well let's just say it has
good coverage of the srgb color space i
mean it is ah ips after all but then it has
what we would describe as bork all
as far as dci p3 coverage goes and colors that are definitely
not accurate enough for any serious
photo editors out there let alone profes i wouldn't edit a picture i took on my
phone on this thing quite frankly looking at it side by side with a real
monitor finally if you're into that sort of thing
there's no RGB or glowing lights or anything like that
but at least the chassis actually isn't half bad it does have like a brushed
anodized aluminum face even if the bezels aren't super skinny it's got a
vase amount compatible back so you can put it on an ARM if you're a wall mount
if you're into that sort of thing and it's got side accessible i o with two
displayport 1.4 ports three HDMI 2.0
ports and a toslink optical audio jack
which you might actually use since the included speakers while definitely
appreciated don't sound great and aren't even loud
enough for monitor use let alone tv use
so should you buy this monitor
i mean i guess if you've got a powerful enough rig to actually take advantage of
4k 120 hertz in at least some of your
favorite games and you really want to be an early adopter then
the 5 to 600 ish dollar price difference
makes it easier to justify not to mention that it is 16 inches bigger to
boot though that does mean that the pixel density drops from 163 pixels per
inch on this guy to about 104 on this
one so you won't be sitting that close anyway
at least that is unless you are playing
one of those visual novels that i
definitely don't know anything about
ting is the mobile carrier that does service contracts a little differently
in the sense that there are no contracts there's no overage fees or any other
carrier tricks like that you just pay a fair price for the talk text and data
that you actually use every month and ting gives you complete control over
your cell phone account you can set alerts and caps for each device on your
account to keep your usage in check nationwide lte coverage means that
you'll have great coverage from coast to coast and almost any phone will work
with ting from that ancient motorola razer sitting in your basement to the
latest samsung galaxy s9 or iphone 10 so
check your phone's compatibility and get 25 bucks off your bill or towards a new
phone at Linus.ting.com we're going to have that
linked below so thanks for watching guys if this
video sucked you know what to do
but if it was awesome get subscribed hit the like button or maybe check out the
