00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,920
this video from ces 2017 is brought to you by squarespace

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,519
yeah we've got them linked in the video description you know what they do

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,639
so this is it monitor monitor evolution has ended

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:19,520
because i don't really understand how it gets a whole lot better than what i have

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,080
in front of me today this is the rog swift pg27uq

6
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:28,960
and it would be a lot easier for me to come up with a list of crazy amazing

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:36,640
features that it doesn't have so 4k resolution 3840x2160

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,079
HDR and i will get a little bit more into that later

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,200
g-sync so that means if you're running an NVIDIA graphics card you've got

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,320
support for variable refresh rate technology and

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,760
it runs at 144

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,239
hertz well how are they doing that

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:01:00,559
what the what the crap is going on here so i so i pulled the plate off the back

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,280
and it's running on a single cable

15
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,640
so the only thing that i've seen it's got on the spec sheet here it's got HDMI

16
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:11,040
but come on realistically this is an HDMI 2.1 they just finalized the spec

17
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:15,439
like yesterday or something like that so it's displayport 1.4 it's got two inputs

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:21,280
and i assumed it would be using two of them but then i thought wait a minute

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,360
i just saw the dell 8k monitor

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,240
that was running off of you guessed it

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,000
two displayport 1.3 so they've got this

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,400
all closed in here see this my friends ASUS won't tell me

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,400
what's here but fortunately i have two hands

24
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,240
i got two hands i know how this works okay well i can't tell exactly what they

25
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,720
are but if i had to guess if i had to guess i would say that it's one of the

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:51,119
only graphics cards on the market that has support for anything higher than

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:57,680
displayport 1.2 so it's probably if i had to guess quadro p6000 sli

28
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:03,200
nobody nobody's giving me any confirmation whatsoever okay i'm not going to stress about that too much the

29
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,560
point is this thing's coming in sometime and by that time hopefully there will be

30
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:11,440
a system that can run it all right more details though i said before HDR

31
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,720
but the industry has kind of decided that HDR means anything above sdr when

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,920
it comes to a consumer grade monitor ASUS not good enough for them there's a

33
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:27,760
gaming display but they're like yeah no we're going to do it properly so we've got 384 zones of fully

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,319
fully backlit array backlit lcd goodness which is allowing them to achieve 1000

35
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,760
nitpeak brightness meaning that this display with hdr10 support is not only a

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,280
gaming display it is also potentially and i don't know much about the color

37
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,800
space coverage what do we got here you guys talking about that looks like not a

38
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,200
whole lot but it's quantum dot so i'm assuming we're doing better than adobe

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,920
RGB anyway there's nothing that would prevent this

40
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,200
thing from being used for content creation what can't it do

41
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,120
yeah the answer is pretty much nothing but just in case

42
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:06,959
you don't like the gamer aesthetic well hey they've got the pa32u this puppy

43
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:13,040
looks like it's built on a pretty darn similar platform so the same 384 direct

44
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:14,480
zone direct led backlight 1000 nit peak

45
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,159
brightness HDR support all that good stuff but on this

46
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:24,879
one they are actually calling out 85 of

47
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:27,040
rec 2020 coverage 99.5 of adobe RGB 95

48
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:32,480
of dci p3 and 100 srgb support so this looks like it could

49
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:37,760
be a candidate for us to move to an HDR workflow wink wink sometime in the

50
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:41,760
future uh assuming that uh you know they can get it produced sometime in the in

51
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:47,440
the next little bit here so how much is one of these gonna cost you

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,799
i don't know lots let's say 1500

53
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,239
maybe more but they're super cool

54
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:57,439
