WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.960 i just upgraded my home gaming setup to lg's 42-inch c2 and some things about it 00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:13.440 it finally went well what the hell i have it set to one minute this is what 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.960 i'm talking about i just upgraded my home gaming setup to lg's 42 inch c2 and 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:23.760 some things about it are great basically zero motion blur inky OLED blacks and 00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:30.960 the size is perfect but using a tv as your monitor 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:33.120 is less perfect thankfully ASUS rog who 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:38.320 sponsored this video has the solution this pg42uq they sent over has all the 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:44.559 same benefits of my existing display but none of the drawbacks of using a tv it's 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.399 got displayport 1.4 alongside its HDMI 00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:50.239 2.1 connection i no longer need a companion app so my display will go to 00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:56.480 sleep and wake up alongside my system and best of all i can disable that 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.760 accursed auto dimming function for a 00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:02.000 much more consistent experience to say i 00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:06.159 can't wait would be an understatement on paper it's basically the perfect gaming 00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:11.479 display but just because it's sponsored doesn't mean i'm not going to tell you guys if i don't run into any problems 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.280 right out of the gate massive shout out the developer of lg tv companion because 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:29.680 it's a lot better than not having it but this was set to sleep after a minute 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:34.880 it has been like five minutes and it's not asleep also 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.520 there's no way to minimize it so you just 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.200 just tuck it away also you guys noticed right 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.759 when i moved that box the brightness changed dramatically you can adjust that 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:50.079 behavior with a special service remote in the hidden menu but you can't disable 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.479 it entirely probably the thing that's annoyed me the most though 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:58.079 aside from coming back to the office right after setting this one up and 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:03.600 seeing the better solution sitting in our warehouse is that i have been stuck 00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:06.399 at 60 hertz because my computer is so 00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:11.520 far away that i need an active optical cable in order to get a signal to it and 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:13.920 while there are HDMI 2.1 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:19.040 active cables available in my case the cable is so costly that 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:24.560 since i already own a long DisplayPort anyway even if the monitor version is a 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:28.480 little more expensive it's a better bet a sue sent over not one but three of 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:32.879 these which means that with some help from these little doodads which let you 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:37.200 extend a usb connection over standard Ethernet cabling i will be able to show 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:42.080 you guys the final form of my centralized gaming system where it 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:47.040 shouldn't matter if i sit down at it here sit down at it downstairs the 00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:50.160 experience should be identical no additional latency i can help you lift 00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:54.640 it when it gets to that i know it's super basic yeah i want you to follow 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:58.879 the instructions jeff just told me that we've got to do this all right and it's 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.840 sponsored so i'm trying to make sure we do it no i open boxes how i play oh my 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.159 god oh my god all right there's a stand yep 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.760 nice oh accessory pouch yeah i actually really like complete with color 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:16.000 calibration report oh my goodness their calibration report comes in a little 00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:16.000 sleeve 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.159 power DisplayPort HDMI 00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:27.200 usb it's really weird the instructions said specifically 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.599 did they really did they 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.959 remote this is pretty handy i mean it's nice to be able to turn it off and on 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:40.480 remotely change sources all that kind of good stuff what else we got going here 00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:44.720 okay do you want to grab another okay i'll grab the other side okay according 00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:46.879 to the instructions okay david frame him out 00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:54.239 okay with a helper okay place it down like that that helper that definitely 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:59.200 exists there's a lot going on here you've got vent holes up at the top is 00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:04.640 this a cooling fan no ASUS does advertise that it can be 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.519 overclocked so instead of just 4k 120 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:11.519 it'll apparently do 4k 138 hertz but the cooling required to 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:14.640 achieve that is all passive so you don't have to worry about any additional noise 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.239 they also advertise 0.1 millisecond greater gray pixel 00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:25.040 response times out of box calibration which i showed you already as well as a 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:27.440 whopping 98 coverage of the dci p3 color 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:31.040 space pretty freaking impressive just like our screwdriver which is now 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:34.160 available for order on ltdstore.com which happens to include the hex bit we 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:39.199 need to tighten up our monitor stand here so you use the knurling for speed 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:43.199 and then the handle for tightness love it i could totally lift this myself but 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:47.759 ASUS insisted i have a helper so i've got ploof here taking the other end 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:53.199 thanks blue that's really good all right oh that's super handy it's got a usb 3 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.759 port up at the top along with one of these little threaded majigs so that you 00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.040 can put your camera or your webcam or anything else that has one of these what 00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:05.120 are these quarter inch is that the one yeah quarter inch threaded posts on it 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.720 love it oh that's nice i was leaning this so david could get a b-roll shot 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:13.039 here and it's actually got a little bit of tilt which is something you won't 00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:18.320 normally find on a tv in terms of i o we've got oh really it's got the full 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.639 complement of HDMI ports four of them 00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:26.400 along with displayport and this is a pretty robust built-in usb hub it's got 00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:27.919 usb 3 in here and then one two 00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:34.160 three i thought i saw another one somewhere i guess three is oh yeah there's another one down here four usb 3 00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:37.919 ports there's your headphone jack power is here kensington here and i'm assuming 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.080 this is RGB i guess we should plug it in and see it light up one thing that's 00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:45.840 conspicuously absent is e-arc so you're either going to be using the on-board 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.600 speakers or speakers that are hooked up through an av receiver or similar now 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.520 this is curious there are a couple more threaded 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:57.440 mounting holes here pluth do you have any idea what these are for no it does 00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:00.960 vase of 300 by 300 well yeah that's not there 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:04.800 yeah uh i'm actually not sure i never saw anything in any of the documentation 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.240 yeah they're just labeled mounting port oh that's cool though yeah if you didn't 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:14.080 happen to have an ltd screwdriver it does include a little allen key for the stand so that's neat it uses a little 00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:18.840 center mounted nubbin nipple thing for control so i think i just turned it on 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:24.639 the RGB is not on by default i don't use rog who are you yeah 00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:31.039 it's got to be RGB right this is interesting the HDMI one and two our 00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:33.280 HDMI 2.1 3 and 4 are 2.0 so that's good 00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:37.199 to know oh no the power button is just to the right of the control nipple 00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:40.960 okay got it so did i turn it on this time 00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:44.400 if i'm going to fall off this desk i think we all want to see it on camera 00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:48.880 watch your back pocket cause you're with this oh my god yes yeah yeah don't worry 00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:52.960 i'm good i'm good i'm good you want to hand that yeah please okay yeah there 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:57.600 you go yeah yeah okay here we go so heavy oh yeah there we go wow there we 00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:00.960 go yeah all right stan's a touch taller but you know what 00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:04.800 that's probably not a bad thing just means that i do need to move my camera a 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.880 little bit apparently it's got a nice anti-glare coating on it which 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:13.360 as long as it doesn't scatter the light too much i'd say would be a boon 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:19.039 oh wow that is that is quite 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:25.039 monitor looking i mean you look at the like david check 00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:29.360 out the lights i have behind me i haven't adjusted these i don't have any 00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:33.840 real diffusers on them or anything that's pretty good hey before we update 00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:38.400 the firmware let's just see if it's you know working at all 4k 120 00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:44.080 uh-oh hey all right cool it works firmware update 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.880 hey there we go while we wait for that we're going to head downstairs and roll 00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:51.280 this one out do you mind grabbing an end yeah here you go awesome thank you no problem good job 00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:57.360 whoa stairs oh yeah whoa 00:07:55.840 --> 00:08:01.599 you got to keep up pretending don't you happen to pull this you almost wait here 00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:06.240 you go there you go there you go that's awesome yeah so which station's yours 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:10.960 this station is mine and right now the only problem that i have is that if the 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:14.479 kids have their friends over and their friends want to play with them 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:18.720 i don't really want their friends poking around in my computer so there will be a 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.800 separate machine for them to use but for me i don't want to have to reset up all 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:27.039 my profiles and everything just because i'm downstairs so the idea is i'm using 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:32.479 this super cool high bandwidth displayport kvm from level one text to 00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:36.719 switch between those machines with a keyboard shortcut that my kids friends 00:08:34.560 --> 00:08:42.479 are unlikely to figure out but we had a problem the shortcuts only work on the 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:44.880 mouse and keyboard ports and i only have 00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:49.839 one fiber optic connection over to that room that's where those Ethernet usb 00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:54.240 extenders come in is this even gonna fit here it's gonna be really tight okay 00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:58.880 i didn't really think of that yeah i noticed that what i considered is that 00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:03.519 it would be really nice to have matching displays a so that you don't have you 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:08.880 know different scaling or like a different experience on both sides and b 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:12.880 because i didn't foresee this but having two mismatched displays even though both 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:16.880 support high refresh rate has made it so that i can only get 60 hertz on both of 00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:21.279 them for now yeah it's so hefty oh thank you yeah no 00:09:18.959 --> 00:09:25.519 problem thanks okay oh all right hey it fits does it fit barely but i mean it 00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:30.320 looks like it does actually we could make that work yeah that is a 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:34.800 really really big display to be on a desk this um 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:39.920 deep i mean i was using a 48 inch before though so i think i'll probably be okay 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:45.200 if you're not this comes in a 48. i cannot believe how long you waited for 00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:47.600 oh no 00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:54.000 it's definitely we shouldn't have dragged it down the stairs i don't think 00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:58.640 it's from that no you sure this is the traffic though no that's a crack 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:04.240 it's an impact it's a crowd it's right here there is this is the one with the 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:09.360 up box yeah it came to us like this like me and david did stack them um in his 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:13.839 car but i don't yeah no no totally i don't think it's from us either and that 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:17.120 is why you always legitimately use two people to move things around in all 00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:21.279 seriousness based on how beat up this box is we're 00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:24.160 fairly certain that this thing was damaged in shipping we probably made it 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:27.920 worse we didn't break it we didn't know we did 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.440 let's say that this is good news i noticed almost 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:38.480 immediately that it wasn't very bright but ah yes we're in power limited mode 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:40.480 there we go and immediately that is way 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:44.079 better before we dig around too much in the menu i want to show you the thing 00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:47.920 that is so annoying about using an OLED as a desktop monitor you see how bright 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.560 this is when i have this window just in the corner here watch as i drag it 00:10:50.079 --> 00:10:55.360 across the screen whoa oh that's actually not that bad it's 00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:02.640 pretty noticeable though is it noticeable it's noticeable on camera and like i can see it's overexposed 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:08.480 okay so that's what happens more annoyingly tvs just 00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:13.120 randomly start doing it sometimes while you're sitting and reading a document so 00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:16.800 this because it's designed to be a monitor it has a feature called uniform 00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:21.680 brightness you enable that and what happens is your maximum brightness goes 00:11:19.760 --> 00:11:26.880 way down like somewhere on the order of around 230 nits i think 250 280 250 to 00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:30.480 280 but it means that when you do this 00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:34.240 you're not just going to get those those wild brightness swings 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:40.240 is that it seems like it might still be a little it's doing a little bit 00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:42.800 yeah okay yeah not nearly as much 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:46.720 okay let's turn on overclocking no dog i'm going for it 138 here we go might as 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:50.880 well do 144 if you're already in does it do 144 panel doesn't doesn't say it does 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:57.040 it doesn't advertise it no no we're going to test 138. only sanctioned 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:58.079 overclocking here all right 00:11:57.040 --> 00:12:02.720 hey oh this is interesting one of the things our firmware update changed aside from 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:06.480 making input switching a little bit faster is their screen saving 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:10.959 functionality to make it work more effectively in standby mode you know how 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:15.519 the arc could like change the screen yes it can do that so oh cool okay aspect 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:19.279 control so if you want to play one to one or 00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:22.000 a 16x9 at a smaller screen size so you want to simulate what it's going to be 00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:29.040 like in your at your tournament right when you're playing on a 24-inch display you can set 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.079 your monitor to be a 24-inch monitor for 00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:34.720 those of you who are wondering you're not stuck with your 24-inch monitor in the middle you can actually shift it 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:39.120 around either way it's nice to have the option just like you have the option of signing up for flow plane where we have 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:42.399 amazing exclusives like oh my god all the outtakes from the screwdriver video 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.560 yeah i screwed up a lot hey 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:51.800 wasn't driving you crazy this is 00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:00.399 the monitor that was supposed to end up on my desk at work because 48 really is 00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:05.040 a little bit looking around like that a lot uh is now for the downstairs and we 00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:09.279 are going to for realsies you got that size yeah i've got yeah carry it very 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:12.560 carefully no dragging it down the steps i would never 00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:17.519 i would never do anything like that to be clear that was obviously not what 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:21.160 destroyed the other one but it didn't help 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:35.120 that's not funny this is not right this is supposed to just be the display 00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:41.920 upstairs cloned to this spot but 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.920 because we haven't set this up yet 00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:51.040 it's not working i have never used one of these before but it looks super cool 00:13:47.680 --> 00:13:52.959 it's only usb 2 so it's not particularly 00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:56.480 fast but for something like a keyboard or mouse it should be perfect probably 00:13:55.519 --> 00:14:00.959 just going to mount this to the underside of the desk or something at some point but we're not there yet i 00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:05.519 swear it's going to be clear what's going on at some point here i'm plugging 00:14:02.959 --> 00:14:10.639 usb for the keyboard and mouse into my kvm so that that keyboard and mouse can 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.120 be used with either of these machines 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:17.279 then i'm going to take this network jack that comes out of that usb adapter 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:22.320 i need a network cable this one's pretty long i have not organized my tech stuff 00:14:19.839 --> 00:14:26.800 yet it's the one thing that is left to organize oh you followed me yeah that 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:30.560 was a lie there are some more things other than tech things that are not yet 00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:33.600 organized come on come on come on come on come on 00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:35.920 come on yes 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:46.000 it's doing stuff okay this is where things get spicy oh 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:49.680 oh no please not splice i just want it to work no this mouse doesn't work 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:53.360 kind of expected the mouse and keyboard to work maybe i just need to use a 00:14:51.360 --> 00:15:00.000 different port here we go okay so pc2 will be 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.279 Yvonne's computer pc one will be my 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.720 computer all right we're good is it on yeah 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:10.959 no way okay 00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:17.920 but the peripherals aren't working yet okay i'm uh ploof yeah i'm gonna have 00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:19.120 you be my hands okay go for it 00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:22.399 nothing okay go for it 00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:28.959 nothing this is why i love these icon dogs they're super 00:15:26.560 --> 00:15:32.800 expensive like how much is that dock oh it's like six hundred dollars but 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:36.480 it works what okay but this is just native this isn't 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:41.920 through the kv the kvm this is through the kvm oh yes this is wendell's big 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:46.560 thing is his displayport kvms or like yeah full fat bandwidth 00:15:43.760 --> 00:15:48.959 come on wendell don't let me down you know what i bet the prompt is up on 00:15:47.760 --> 00:15:54.720 the other one oh you might have to try again i think i'm gonna miss it 00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:59.120 you ready yup nope nope 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:03.519 i've got one more idea wait yes i'm now getting no output to either display oh 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:06.959 my god i think they got mad because one was in overclocked mode and one was not 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:12.000 which was exactly the problem i was having before with the mismatched displays because they actually report 00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:15.680 back to the system differently if they're in overclocked mode maybe if we 00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:22.160 get in touch with wendell it's oh wait nope no no it's 60 but 100 100 i'd 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:23.519 settle for 100 100 is fine 00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:27.279 whatever the fiber optic cable is outputting may not be high enough to get 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:31.440 through all the connectors in the kpm plus the kvm plus the cable itself it is 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:35.199 like i'm not just making stuff it is crazy how much better the air 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:39.279 tables are than everybody else's and when you get like the 25 foot club 3d 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:44.240 cable which is copper not fiber it's as thick as a garden hose it's amazing 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:48.399 right okay i yeah we'll we'll try that thank you the keyboard shortcut also 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:51.680 there are there is a way to make it the right control key and some other 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.480 different keys it doesn't have to be scroll locked but you might temporarily 00:16:53.199 --> 00:16:59.120 need a five dollar keyboard that has scroll lock in order to 00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:02.959 use scroll lock to tell it which hotkey you want to use 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:06.959 i might have just the thing here okay it's not five dollars but it has a 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:11.039 scroll log key it would be really nice to know if that aspect of this works 00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:15.919 okay scrollwalk's not doing anything either i'm plugged into the wait oh no i 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:19.919 changed the kvm hold on it might not be plugged into anything yeah no it's not 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:24.240 plugged in one sec one sec okay so the head port i should use the front with 00:17:21.679 --> 00:17:28.559 the one on the front labeled hid yeah there's three in the back as well sure 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.640 and those are all equally hid yeah well hid the only one you can do the keyboard 00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:36.480 control on because the usb usb 3 is completely hands off right but all four 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:39.200 of those hid ports are the same right 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:46.880 yep i am working on an HDMI extender that also runs over cat 6 and it is glory 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:50.240 working on you say well a fat lot of good that does me today sir 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:56.960 i can probably need you a prototype in like a few days 00:17:54.240 --> 00:18:02.080 no it's okay take your time okay i think it's just this usb extender i think it's 00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:06.480 just not working it also could just be mislabeled it's not wouldn't be the 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:09.760 first time i saw that in this house is it possible the kvm doesn't have enough 00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:14.760 power for this bad boy because it doesn't have external power on the transmitter side 00:18:15.600 --> 00:18:21.679 nothing is working instead of running through the network cable in the wall 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.480 we're just gonna run a cable okay 00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:29.080 hello 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:37.679 either the in-wall cable is bad or it's 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:43.200 mislabeled i've got an update for you as it turns out the usb 2 hid ports on the 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:47.840 kvm they're not quite full usb 2. they're tailored for hid 00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:51.120 human interface devices what that means is sometimes 00:18:49.360 --> 00:18:55.520 especially if you have like a hub especially with a mac you can get odd 00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:58.559 behavior with these extensions so what i need to do is either get a different 00:18:57.120 --> 00:19:03.679 extension send one of these over to wendell maybe he can test it fix it the 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:08.320 point is scroll lock scroll lock source switching is not going to be working 00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:11.919 today but damn it i haven't given up yet 00:19:08.320 --> 00:19:14.960 on 120 hertz we have an idea 00:19:11.919 --> 00:19:16.640 also to do with using the kvm and some 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:21.919 funkery that wendell had to do to make g-sync and freesync work it's 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:24.640 particularly sensitive to long runs and 00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:30.080 we have an extremely long run here and the more couplers we have in line 00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:34.400 the more signal loss he says each one of these connections is probably costing us 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:37.200 about 3 db so what we're going to do is we're just going to run a little brush 00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:41.679 plate and we're going to take our optical cable and we're gonna run that 00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:45.120 bad boy ah straight into the back of the monitor proof yeah 00:19:43.280 --> 00:19:48.400 a hand if you will yeah what do you want put this i want that in the thing 00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:53.919 hey 120 oh no no no that's display one good 00:19:52.080 --> 00:19:57.280 try though come on come on 00:19:55.440 --> 00:20:02.240 crap crap come on 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:04.160 that was our big idea screw it 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:07.600 no kvm for now the kids friends have can have no 00:20:06.320 --> 00:20:13.440 computer damn it i'm going straight into the back of the computer if this doesn't run 120 00:20:11.120 --> 00:20:17.280 hertz i give up we're going straight in are you kidding me oh 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:24.720 yes matching displays there we go 120 hertz 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:29.360 all right let's play a video game time to finally try this thing yeah oh look 00:20:27.280 --> 00:20:31.919 at that everything just works wow freaking love it 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:37.039 oh i want to make it abundantly clear that none of the problems we had today were 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:42.080 ASUS's fault for real though when you're trying to do weird stuff weird stuff 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:45.039 happens sometimes man this looks good i love OLED 00:20:43.520 --> 00:20:49.280 i don't even know what mode i'm in on this one it just looks great i don't 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:53.600 want uniform brightness i want hd oh wait HDR setting is not 00:20:51.520 --> 00:20:58.960 oh check Windows make sure Windows is set to HDR yeah duplicating doesn't do 00:20:56.080 --> 00:21:04.000 HDR duplicating doesn't do HDR yes you can't duplicate HDR 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:05.440 seriously are you even for real right 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:10.799 now why is it like why are the settings all over the place that's competitive settings 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:17.840 shadows it's legit actually 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:17.840 whatever just don't even worry about it 00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:25.360 you know what matters this looks freaking great 00:21:28.320 --> 00:21:34.159 oh no oh no oh no oh no 00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:39.280 oh it's nice to know i have no idea how much of the 120 hertz 00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:42.640 upstairs and downstairs kvn switching for the guest machine 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:47.360 usb over Ethernet stories are gonna end up being in the 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:51.520 video but the one thing that hasn't gone wrong today 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.520 this monitor 00:21:55.520 --> 00:22:03.600 for real oh man they're still so many technical issues to solve for my 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:07.600 idea here you know what i think we might have to do i think i'm just going to get 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:11.120 like a nook or something yeah build a second floor just gonna have it no 00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:15.039 there'll be a second computer okay will be a second computer there will be a 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.559 nook and i'll just have cables and i'll just plug into them 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:21.200 when the kids have a friend over what what is this 00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:26.080 anno oh i know what game it is i just mean i i 00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:30.320 started in the in this world and i forgot i forgot i thought all my stuff 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:35.520 was gone one of the big issues i had with my old OLED was that with these 00:22:33.520 --> 00:22:39.919 lights on it was just it was they were so bright they overpowered the OLED 00:22:38.080 --> 00:22:45.760 display yeah uniform brightness mode is actually on wow so then we're good 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:48.000 well that's fantastic 00:22:45.760 --> 00:22:48.000 yes 00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:55.919 thank you for watching thank you ASUS for sponsoring this video 00:22:54.159 --> 00:22:59.039 did we even include like do you have it you've got you like measured stuff on 00:22:57.600 --> 00:23:05.120 this is there somewhere we could put that just like put it somewhere i guess 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:08.080 yeah it's it's good it's good it's like actually good we actually measured it i 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:14.320 know it's sponsored but we wouldn't lie to you it does the things on the box that it says it does everything it says 00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:18.400 on the box looks really good if you want this one or the 48 inch model we're 00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:25.240 gonna have those links down below where's all my crowds at yo get what 00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:25.240 they're just disappearing
