WEBVTT 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.400 Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video from CES 2017. Build your 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.040 online store or website at the link in the video 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:15.839 description. Um, what is it? It's like it's like I 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 00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:24.640 out, but that's okay because nothing can ruin my mood right now. Okay, monitors 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 00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:36.079 120 Hz. Night and day difference. Then a couple incremental improvements. 144 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.760 165. Now it's gamechanging again. And by 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:49.760 game I mean gaming. A yes. This is the ROG Swift 00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:52.160 PG28Q. The first 240 Hz 24 1/2 in gaming 00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:59.280 monitor that I have had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. And holy cow, just 00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:03.799 sitting down and knocking things over and moving the mouse, it is immediately 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:09.040 noticeable. And it's not like necessarily some other high refreshment 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:15.200 monitors out there because even without ultra low motion blur enabled, this 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:17.520 thing is actually doing pretty darn well 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.520 in terms of not leaving motion trails behind the cursor. Now, obviously, I 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 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.520 very soon, but my initial impression is this is freaking impressive. So, it 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:35.600 features NVIDIA G-Sync technology. You've got DisplayPort in or HDMI in, 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 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 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:49.280 bezel, a couple kind of gamery accents, 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.759 but the most sort of, let's say, u 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.880 goddy, how you say, of which the underglow ROG logo thing, you can turn 00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:01.280 that off in the menu. Now, those of you who are wondering, it does support 00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:06.159 G-Sync, but the unanimous opinion from the ASUS guys in the room is that the 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:11.920 real story here is not necessarily G-Sync, but rather the fact that now if 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 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.720 full 240 hertz, which is going to give 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.560 you like super sharp, fastmoving images 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:27.520 at an extremely high refresh rate, which is going to be critical for competitive 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:29.120 gamers or filthy casuals like me who 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:33.200 just like having the best possible experience even though they suck. It's 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:37.120 got the full range of adjustments. And as we're making all these adjustments to 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 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.080 tell you guys, outside of looking at it from the bottom, where really it does 00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:50.560 look awful. Uh side to side viewing angles very good. And colors again, just 00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:56.319 subjectively, I'm just out of show. Looking pretty good here. I am super 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 00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:04.840 approximately $500 price 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:08.519 tag. I never said the resolution. Okay, hold on. Let me think 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.239 for a second. Did I miss anything else critical? You know what? Let's just 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 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:22.560 to mention the resolution. Anyway, thanks for checking 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.239 out our video you guys. Don't forget to get subscribed to Linus Tech Tips so you 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:29.760 don't miss any of our CES coverage. And a huge shout out to Squarespace. I 00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:33.360 believe there are talking points in my pocket, but come on, realistically, do I 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:39.280 not know how to pitch you guys Squarespace.

And it is so easy to 00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:57.840 use that even I can make changes to our Squarespace website, which is quite an 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.680 achievement. So, check it out.
