WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.640 Where's PL? He's supposed to be shooting a video. WHERE'S THIS GUY? HUH? Hey 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.400 everyone, we're here in Paris, France at the Stad France. Uh, it was super cool. 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.360 Phillips flew us out for the event. They've got a bunch of like new I don't 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.840 even know what to check out. They've been kind of keeping it really hush hush, but it was great. They like let us 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:21.119 walk out onto the pitch, which is a dream for a lot of people. Everything's 00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:24.240 lit up really nice. There's a live band. There's drinks. There's snacks. It's 00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:27.519 great. We're going to get back to the party and hopefully see all the products 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.800 and show you everything we came here to check out in a little bit. So, see you 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.520 in a bit. That was cool. They herded us into a 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:38.000 theater and gave us this big presentation on how they want to be inclusive and diverse because gaming 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.760 really is for everyone. They showed off three major product lines for Evnia. 8 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.360 and 7000 are the highest end displays like your mini LED and OLED, while the 00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:49.360 5000 should be more traditional IPS and VA panels at a more budget friendly 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.840 price. I got no tech tips other than it's beautiful. It's the same panel I've 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.360 got at home. So, as long as they have it at a really good price, maybe I 00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:02.480 horizontally upgrade. You know, maybe I sell the Alienware and I buy one of these cuz I love the way it looks. I'm 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.240 terrible at racing with a keyboard and mouse instead of a controller, but 00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:09.600 whatever. The reality is it looks beautiful. We had to go in and tweak 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.680 some settings, you know, turn VSYNC off, turn motion blur off. Um, but man, it 00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:20.159 looks gorgeous. Turn HDR on to get the real nice pop, especially in Forza. It's 00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:22.720 got really nice HDR. Uh, absolutely beautiful display. So, yeah, we're 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:28.159 pretty sure we're seeing some artifacting, but that's not the monitor. That's the GPU, whatever they've got in 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.119 here. Probably have DLSS on or something. And that's okay. They they 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.240 just want to get the highest frame rate they can to really show off the 175 Hz 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:41.280 available in the game or on the display. Sorry. Honestly, it looks like my 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:46.560 monitor. And if they can price it correctly to beat out the Alienware 00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:50.720 Cutie OLED, I love the design way more. The branding is way less in your face 00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:55.439 than Alienware. Okay, we got pricing and I'm sorry, but it's still a little too 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.200 expensive for my blood. $1,500 is a couple hundred more than the Alienware. 00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:02.960 It does do 90 watts of power delivery on the KVM, so that's another factor to 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:06.079 consider. Not for me, but definitely for some people, especially if you prefer 00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:11.120 the look of this version. This beauty will do 99% DCIP3 color space, and the 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:16.160 IO is pretty decent. We've got DisplayPort, HDMI, USBC with 90 watts of power 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:21.120 delivery, along with four more USBA ports and USB to connect it all to your 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:24.560 PC. I'm really big on this white design. I think that's one thing that not a lot 00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:27.520 of brands offer is an all-white design. It's usually black, especially for 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:33.360 gaming. And that's what they said they want to change with. They want it to be for absolutely everyone. Doesn't matter 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.360 age, doesn't matter sex, gender, where you're from, religion, who cares. 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.959 Gaming's for everyone, right? So, that's what Philips is trying to put out. All 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.519 right, cool. Hey, I finished second. I'm great. This is their 42in OLED that 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:48.319 they've got. It's probably a C2 panel like from LG based on the brightness it 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.239 gets. I think they hit like something like 900 nits in HDR peak brightness, 00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:55.760 which is around what the C2 can do. We got to interview Caesar Aosta, the 00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.720 product manager of gaming monitors at Philips, and he confirmed that the 42-in 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:04.959 OLED is indeed the same panel as an LG C2. I'm awful at F1, so this is going to 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:09.760 be terrible. But luckily, Andrew is only capturing me right now, not the game. 00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:13.200 Honestly though, the OLED does feel really responsive. The gray to gray, you 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:19.200 just can't beat it. This one is pretty juicy at 1,600 bucks. 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.800 A regular C2 is cheaper, but it's a TV, 00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:24.400 not a monitor. So, you're paying extra for more PC friendly features like the 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:28.959 ability to wake up on input. The only real competitor right now is the ASUS 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:32.560 ROG Swift PG42UQ, and that's about $1,900 at the time of filming. So, if 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:38.159 you like the look of this one more, definitely go for it. For IO, it's got 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:40.239 HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4, USBC with 90 watts 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:48.999 of power delivery, and another USBA hub with four ports. 00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:55.040 Thanks to Vessie Footwear for sponsoring this video. Vessie Footwear is known for 00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.120 being lightweight, easy to pack, comfortable, and most importantly, water 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.040 resistant with its Datex technology. Their everyday move line is designed 00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:06.480 with added support at the midsole, and better breathability to keep up with 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.080 your active lifestyle. Take them off and put them on with ease thanks to the 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.760 handy pull tab. It's also made creature free, so every step you take will be 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.320 guiltfree. Your feet will thank you for wearing these. So say goodbye to wet 00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:23.440 socks and save $25 with our offer code shortcircuit at vesie.com/shortcircuit. 00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:27.919 I've been stoked about all of these. But the real star of the show, at least in 00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:32.639 my opinion, is this new miniLEDD screen that they've got. It's got,52 00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:36.800 zones. There's not much competition depending on the price. You've got ASUS 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:42.240 with their ProArt displays at like $5,000. And then you've got uh I think 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.400 AOC has a $2,000 display as well that 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.560 has 1152 zones. This is probably the same panel or a similar one. As long as 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.479 they can hit a good price point, Miniledd looks good, you guys. It gets 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:58.639 bright. Like, if you like a bright screen and you like good HDR, 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:03.199 Miniledd kind of wins over OLED. So, I'm real excited. The IO is a little lower 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:07.440 tier than the last two displays we looked at with the USBC power delivery 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.919 only being 65 watts. It's otherwise pretty similar with a four- port USBA 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:16.080 hub, HDMI, and DisplayPort. That looks gorgeous. And look at the highlights on 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:22.320 the sparks and stuff. Super pretty. It's a beautiful panel. Looks very responsive 00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:24.479 for VA. The HDR experience really is 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:27.680 gorgeous. Honestly, out of everything we looked at today, it'll be the first one 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:32.639 available in December of this year with the rest of what we've shown coming up 00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:34.800 in January 2023. It's $1,800, which is 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.240 expensive, but it's cheaper than what's currently on the market with similar 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:44.240 specs. It's a very nice display, but certainly out of reach for most people. 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.800 So, let's check out the 27 M2C 5500W. 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:50.320 Now, we've got their 5000 line, which is supposed to be the more budgetoriented. 00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:53.680 There is a 3000 that's even more budget, but this should be a bit more friendly 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:57.280 for the kind of the mid-range gamers who can spend a little bit of money, but not 00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:01.600 an ARM and a leg for the more premium products. This thing looks awesome. And 00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:04.720 we've heard that we'll get the real North American prices to you, but in 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:10.400 Europe at least, this is going to be $499. So, if you want a 240 Hz panel, 00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:16.880 remember how I complained about the AOC being too much at like 900 bucks? $500 00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:18.800 for 27 in 240 Hz. I love it. It looks 00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:21.520 great. The games weren't installed, unfortunately. There's a ton of 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:27.280 different booths and stuff. The other one was unplugged, but we got the UFO 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.039 test up and I gotta say, it looks crisp. 00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:34.800 I don't see any artifacting. I don't see any blurring. I don't see any overdrive 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.960 or undershoot. It looks pretty and I 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:40.880 can't wait to get a more hands-on experience with uh with one in the 00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:44.080 future. The only thing that I can complain about is it looks like it's 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:47.840 still edge lit. So there's a bit of bloom in some places that doesn't look 00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:53.680 great. But honestly, when you're only spending like sub $1,000, like 500 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:58.960 bucks, monitor is clean. That's pretty good. This is again their 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:02.560 um more budgetoriented option. And it gets a little blurry when you do some 00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:06.560 crazy flicks like this, but the reality is everything still stays relatively 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:10.720 clear. Nothing's smearing too badly. This isn't the ultimate HDR experience 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:15.520 monitor. This is the I want to get into esports, maybe be a bit more competit 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:20.800 competitive with 240 Hz um entry level kind of deal here. And if this is 500, I 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:25.440 can only imagine how cheap the or inexpensive rather the 3000 series line 00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:30.319 is going to be that we haven't heard a whole lot of. We just got teased it. So, 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:33.280 I'm excited for the future. Overall, I'm impressed. You're paying a bit of a 00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:37.360 premium on some of these displays, but that 90 watt charging capability is very 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.960 important to some people. I can't wait to see the finalized North American 00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:44.160 pricing and I just hope that these will be in stock and available to purchase 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:48.160 for those who want them. As much as I love my Cutie OLED, I'm not a huge fan 00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:51.759 of the stand. So maybe this is the one for you. If you want to see more of our 00:07:49.919 --> 00:07:55.520 adventures around Paris, us traveling here, or the event itself, make sure to 00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:58.960 check out the Flow Plane exclusive. Plof's still in Paris, but we appreciate 00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:03.280 you watching. What you should also watch is the next video that Plof's making 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:06.800 right now. But in the meantime, why not watch Oh, I don't know. The Pixel Watch 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.919 ShortCircuit that I think, and I'm unbiased here, is a great video. Worth 00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:11.919 your time.
