00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,480
how do you decide between 4k and ultrawide why not both

00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:20,400

Android device use offer code Linus to get 25 off at the link below

7
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,960
historically there have been mostly two

8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:50,000
different pixel counts for ultra wide monitors

9
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:53,039
2560x1080 which takes your standard 16x9

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,960
1080p monitor and stretches it by a

11
00:00:53,039 --> 00:01:00,640
third and 3440 by 1440 which does the

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:04,239
same thing to a wqhd monitor both of

13
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,640
them have an aspect ratio of 21x9

14
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:14,320
except it's not actually 21x9 it's more like

15
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:17,600
21 and a third by nine so

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,600
64 by 27 but i guess that didn't sound

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:25,040
as sexy on the marketing materials and also i guess it's easier for people to

18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:31,119
understand 21 by nine since most people are pretty familiar with how 16x9 looks

19
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,040
so that means that visualizing 21x9

20
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:38,400
isn't as much of an uh stretch of the imagination as calling it

21
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:43,119
seven by three would have been anyway none of that is the point all of that

22
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:50,119
stuff pales in comparison to the beast that we've got today

23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:54,240
this ladies and gentlemen is lg's 34

24
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:56,640
wk95 uw i think the wk is for work like

25
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:03,040
work in it because this thing boasts over 11 million pixels that are so close

26
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:08,560
to each other that if you tried to pass your body between them you would have to

27
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,520
go through one cell at a time it is a

28
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:18,879
lot of pixels and yet lg still doesn't call this resolution 5k they call it

29
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,120
5k 2k because they already make a 5k

30
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:26,239
monitor which has 3 million more pixels all in the vertical direction

31
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:31,840
so ima cho even though there are 5 000 horizontal pixels here really this

32
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,800
is more like a 4k ultra wide something that we've never seen before and a true

33
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:40,160
5k ultra wide should have a resolution of something like

34
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:47,440
6820x2880 but let's not get ahead of ourselves here because 5k 2k is plenty

35
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:49,760
sweet as it is its pixel density of 163

36
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:56,000
pixels per inch is almost exactly the same as a 27 inch 4k monitor putting it at

37
00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:00,160
apple retina levels from a reasonable viewing distance of 21 inches which

38
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:05,200
means you will be blown away by the crazy sharp text assuming that is that

39
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,360
your pc can actually drive this many pixels

40
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:13,360
so if you're plugging the monitor into the displayport port man i wish they had

41
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:19,040
come up with a different name for that on your 10 series NVIDIA or rx 400

42
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,120
series or newer AMD graphics card then you are

43
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,000
golden if you're relying on the HDMI 2.0 ports

44
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:34,080
then you are basically sol you'll be capped at 3440 by 1440

45
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,720
since even though 3840x2160

46
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:43,040
is available you can select it that is a 16x9 aspect ratio meaning it is

47
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,200
squishville so say no to HDMI

48
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,599
as for if you're using the Thunderbolt 3 port probably on your laptop that's

49
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:56,080
where things get really interesting because when we reviewed the lg 5k ultra fine we

50
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,680
learned that while it worked perfectly at full resolution with our 2016 macbook

51
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,760
we could only get about four and a half of those k's on a Windows machine the

52
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:11,920
reason was that the available Thunderbolt 3 chipsets at that time only

53
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,480
supported displayport 1.2 which doesn't

54
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:20,239
have nearly enough bandwidth for 5k at 60 hertz it only worked on the macbook

55
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:25,120
because apple cleverly used the capacity from the chipsets of two side-by-side

56
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:30,639
ports to push all those pixels through but that changed ostensibly in early

57
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,800
2018 when Intel released a new Thunderbolt 3 chipset called titan ridge

58
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:40,240
that supports displayport 1.4 which can

59
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:43,680
handle full 5k at 60hz or even 8k at

60
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,360
30hz off of a single port so uh okay

61
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,720
that's great Linus how do i know if i have a titan ridge

62
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,960
good question if you want a one cord solution to

63
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:58,400
connect your laptop to an external display and potentially even charge it

64
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,120
at the same time what you need is both a

65
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,320
2018 model laptop that has the new titan ridge Thunderbolt 3 implementation you

66
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:11,680
can check with your manufacturer to find that out and a discrete GPU since titan ridge

67
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,800
isn't designed to work with Intel's integrated graphics

68
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:20,639
and even if you have all that there's still no guarantee that it will

69
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,800
charge your laptop so if you're a Windows user and a one

70
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:27,759
cable laptop docking feature is a big focus for you

71
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,919
be sure that you've got a compatible machine or you will be disappointed oh

72
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,479
and by the way you can wipe that smug latte mustache

73
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,840
smirk off your face's 2018 macbook users because currently mojave has a bug

74
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:44,479
preventing this monitor from working properly for you too

75
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:49,199
the good news is that once these little details are ironed out

76
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:53,840
this thing will not disappoint its color accuracy is fantastic out of the box we

77
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,479
measured color differences that were on average indistinguishable to the human

78
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:03,199
eye despite this not being a 10 bit panel thanks in part to lg's nano cell

79
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:08,800
tech which if you're not familiar works on a similar principle to quantum dot

80
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,639
but kind of the opposite so it filters out all the colors except the intended

81
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:16,639
rg and b and its HDR capabilities are what i

82
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,520
would describe as not bad

83
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:24,400
now bear in mind that the 34 wk95 uw

84
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:32,000
only manages a peak brightness of 600 nits while 1 000 nits is required

85
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,720
imo for a true okay this makes a really

86
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:40,240
big difference HDR experience but at the very least it does sport the

87
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,440
new vasa display HDR 600 certification

88
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,919
which demands 90 coverage of the dci p3

89
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,600
gamut a threshold that it crosses with ease the biggest deficiency with this

90
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,400
panel at least on our particular unit was

91
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:58,400
uniformity though and it was worst along the left edge and in the corners which

92
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,400
are a little darker than the rest of the display and you could also make the

93
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:06,160
argument that given the 1500 price tag the looks of the monitor are

94
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,400
clean but a little less premium than they could be

95
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,759
with that said though personally i'd rather my money went towards a better

96
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,039
panel and backlight solution than fancy casing for the most part anyway

97
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,960
so bottom line should you buy this monitor

98
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,919
i guess that depends on who you are if you're a gamer

99
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,880
you're gonna find this thing pretty hard to drive like especially in triple a

100
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:34,319
titles and i would strongly recommend a higher refresh rate lower resolution

101
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:41,199
alternative but if you specifically want large format

102
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:47,520
and very high resolution the 34 wk95 uw really is a best of both

103
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:54,400
world solution that does a reasonable job of justifying its 1500 price tag so

104
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:59,039
go for it because the rest of the really big computer displays out there are 4k

105
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:05,360
and even though they have a lot of pixels at this kind of size

106
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:07,680
4k won't be nearly as sharp as this and

107
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:13,039
for my part anyway i prefer the ultra wide aspect ratio it's kind of like

108
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:18,240
multi-monitor but with no awful bezels the massdrop sennheiser hd6xx headphones

109
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:22,720
are one of massdrop's all-time best sellers with over 40

110
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,240
000 of their members picking them up to date now they have not changed the

111
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:30,960
driver and sound structure compared to the hd 650s meaning you can expect a

112
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:36,000
balanced mid-range and natural sounding bass but they do come with a detachable

113
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:40,959
six-foot cable instead of 10-foot based on community feedback and a 1 8-inch

114
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:46,399
plug that is versatile for everyday use also they include a quarter inch adapter

115
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,320
and support from sennheiser directly so

116
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:53,040
go check it out at the link in the video description to join the drop and get

117
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,519
your own hd6xx headphones so thanks for watching guys if you

118
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,279
disliked this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed maybe consider checking out

119
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,720
where to buy the stuff we featured at the link below also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts

120
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,680
i shot a lot of videos in this shirt today it's awkward because i keep

121
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,480
telling people to go check out our merch store you know what it's fine our merch

122
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:14,000
store has cool shirts they're just not like this one and you can check out our
