this video from ces 2017 is brought to you by squarespace
yeah we've got them linked in the video description you know what they do
so this is it monitor monitor evolution has ended
because i don't really understand how it gets a whole lot better than what i have
in front of me today this is the rog swift pg27uq
and it would be a lot easier for me to come up with a list of crazy amazing
features that it doesn't have so 4k resolution 3840x2160
HDR and i will get a little bit more into that later
g-sync so that means if you're running an NVIDIA graphics card you've got
support for variable refresh rate technology and
it runs at 144
hertz well how are they doing that
what the what the crap is going on here so i so i pulled the plate off the back
and it's running on a single cable
so the only thing that i've seen it's got on the spec sheet here it's got HDMI
but come on realistically this is an HDMI 2.1 they just finalized the spec
like yesterday or something like that so it's displayport 1.4 it's got two inputs
and i assumed it would be using two of them but then i thought wait a minute
i just saw the dell 8k monitor
that was running off of you guessed it
two displayport 1.3 so they've got this
all closed in here see this my friends ASUS won't tell me
what's here but fortunately i have two hands
i got two hands i know how this works okay well i can't tell exactly what they
are but if i had to guess if i had to guess i would say that it's one of the
only graphics cards on the market that has support for anything higher than
displayport 1.2 so it's probably if i had to guess quadro p6000 sli
nobody nobody's giving me any confirmation whatsoever okay i'm not going to stress about that too much the
point is this thing's coming in sometime and by that time hopefully there will be
a system that can run it all right more details though i said before HDR
but the industry has kind of decided that HDR means anything above sdr when
it comes to a consumer grade monitor ASUS not good enough for them there's a
gaming display but they're like yeah no we're going to do it properly so we've got 384 zones of fully
fully backlit array backlit lcd goodness which is allowing them to achieve 1000
nitpeak brightness meaning that this display with hdr10 support is not only a
gaming display it is also potentially and i don't know much about the color
space coverage what do we got here you guys talking about that looks like not a
whole lot but it's quantum dot so i'm assuming we're doing better than adobe
RGB anyway there's nothing that would prevent this
thing from being used for content creation what can't it do
yeah the answer is pretty much nothing but just in case
you don't like the gamer aesthetic well hey they've got the pa32u this puppy
looks like it's built on a pretty darn similar platform so the same 384 direct
zone direct led backlight 1000 nit peak
brightness HDR support all that good stuff but on this
one they are actually calling out 85 of
rec 2020 coverage 99.5 of adobe RGB 95
of dci p3 and 100 srgb support so this looks like it could
be a candidate for us to move to an HDR workflow wink wink sometime in the
future uh assuming that uh you know they can get it produced sometime in the in
the next little bit here so how much is one of these gonna cost you
i don't know lots let's say 1500
maybe more but they're super cool
