1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,400 Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video from CES 2017. Build your 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:10,040 online store or website at the link in the video 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:15,839 description. Um, what is it? It's like it's like I 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,680 got this guy watching me while I try and make my video here. It's weirding me 5 00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,640 out, but that's okay because nothing can ruin my mood right now. Okay, monitors 6 00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:30,080 used to be 60 Hz and then we got overclocking to like 75 85. Then we got 7 00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:36,079 120 Hz. Night and day difference. Then a couple incremental improvements. 144 8 00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,760 165. Now it's gamechanging again. And by 9 00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:49,760 game I mean gaming. A yes. This is the ROG Swift 10 00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:52,160 PG28Q. The first 240 Hz 24 1/2 in gaming 11 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:59,280 monitor that I have had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. And holy cow, just 12 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,799 sitting down and knocking things over and moving the mouse, it is immediately 13 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:09,040 noticeable. And it's not like necessarily some other high refreshment 14 00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:15,200 monitors out there because even without ultra low motion blur enabled, this 15 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:17,520 thing is actually doing pretty darn well 16 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,520 in terms of not leaving motion trails behind the cursor. Now, obviously, I 17 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,360 don't have it in the lab yet, but I've been informed we will be getting one 18 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,520 very soon, but my initial impression is this is freaking impressive. So, it 19 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:35,600 features NVIDIA G-Sync technology. You've got DisplayPort in or HDMI in, 20 00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,159 whichever you prefer, and it's got a built-in USB 3 hub. In terms of the 21 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:46,159 styling, it's what has become kind of the ROG way. So, you've got a nice slim 22 00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:49,280 bezel, a couple kind of gamery accents, 23 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:51,759 but the most sort of, let's say, u 24 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,880 goddy, how you say, of which the underglow ROG logo thing, you can turn 25 00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:01,280 that off in the menu. Now, those of you who are wondering, it does support 26 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:06,159 G-Sync, but the unanimous opinion from the ASUS guys in the room is that the 27 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:11,920 real story here is not necessarily G-Sync, but rather the fact that now if 28 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:17,360 you turn G-Sync off, you can run ultra low motion blur all the way up to the 29 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,720 full 240 hertz, which is going to give 30 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,560 you like super sharp, fastmoving images 31 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:27,520 at an extremely high refresh rate, which is going to be critical for competitive 32 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,120 gamers or filthy casuals like me who 33 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,200 just like having the best possible experience even though they suck. It's 34 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,120 got the full range of adjustments. And as we're making all these adjustments to 35 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,160 the stand, you'll probably notice, yes, this is in fact a TN panel. But I got to 36 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,080 tell you guys, outside of looking at it from the bottom, where really it does 37 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,560 look awful. Uh side to side viewing angles very good. And colors again, just 38 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:56,319 subjectively, I'm just out of show. Looking pretty good here. I am super 39 00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:02,280 excited about this one. Uh that is to say, uh as long as I can afford the 40 00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:04,840 approximately $500 price 41 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,519 tag. I never said the resolution. Okay, hold on. Let me think 42 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:12,239 for a second. Did I miss anything else critical? You know what? Let's just 43 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:18,440 let's just do a totally awkward shot here. Um it's a 1080p monitor. I forgot 44 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:22,560 to mention the resolution. Anyway, thanks for checking 45 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:26,239 out our video you guys.

I 47 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,360 believe there are talking points in my pocket, but come on, realistically, do I 48 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:39,280 not know how to pitch you guys Squarespace.
