00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,520
our ces 2019 coverage is brought to you by the dbrand grip and prism screen

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:11,759
protector you can check them out at the link in the video description so we're

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,280
here in the lg booth where they actually downplayed the kind of monitor stuff

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,160
they were showing off they were like oh yeah i don't really know if we have that much this year but some of this stuff

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,199
even though it's iterative improvements is actually

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,960
a big difference over what we've seen before so first of all we've got the

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,439
ultra wide monitor curve 49 wl95c

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:37,680
it's a lot cooler than it sounds so just like samsung's recent 49 inch

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:41,680
very very wide what are these like 32 by nine aspect ratio yeah 32 by nine aspect

10
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,039
ratio display it's really really wide it's curved and

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:51,920
it's optimized for kind of a combination i guess of productivity and or super

12
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:58,640
immersive gaming but unlike samsung's instead of being

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,640
limited to a 1080 vertical resolution

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:07,320
which means that the entire image looked kind of grainy lg has gone one better

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,920
and they've delivered a 5120 by

16
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:14,400
1440 resolution on this thing so the image is much much finer now this means

17
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,759
for gamers you're going to have a pretty hard time driving it because this is

18
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:21,680
effectively kind of a shortened 5k

19
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:27,280
monitor but frankly you won't be worried about that

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,960
anyway because it only runs at 60 hertz

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,600
but there's good news over here oh i was gonna walk out of the frame but

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:40,000
sure we can work with this this is the 38 gl 950 g and this is a whole other

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,320
ball of wax now i had given lg a hard time in the past for selling gaming

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,880
monitors that didn't have support for NVIDIA's g-sync and here they are their

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,600
timing's impeccable right as NVIDIA announced that regular adaptive sync

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:58,560
displays can run g-sync now lg's here with the g-sync module in

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:04,000
their monitor but that's not to say that having a g-sync module is pointless even

28
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:08,479
now because it means that you've got a very very wide variable refresh rate

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,560
window it means you've got support for adaptive pixel overdrive so you're not

30
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,560
going to get more or less smearing depending on the refresh rate of the

31
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,480
display and in this case it means because they're using the module they

32
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,800
can drive this thing at 3840 by 1600

33
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:29,599
which is the same as the 38 inch ultra wide that's on my desk except that

34
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:37,360
instead of 75 hertz they have nearly doubled that to 144 hertz native and it

35
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:40,239
can actually overclock to 170 now all of

36
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:45,040
that is with a nano ips panel that means 98 dci p3 color gamut coverage like this

37
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,680
thing is basically best of all worlds that i can really

38
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:53,360
identify oh and if you're into it it's got this reactive lighting thing that

39
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:58,400
goes on that you can either have sync up with your video or your audio or with

40
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:02,879
the download you can set it to just like some color if you want now it's not

41
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:07,519
coming anytime soon they have no pricing information for us whatsoever but uh

42
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,519
hey the future is now later bringing us

43
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,440
somewhat awkwardly and abruptly to this

44
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:19,440
thing so the only notes i have about the

45
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,560
ck 950 n is that there's no pricing available at

46
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,519
this time that's pretty much all i got i'm gonna have to wing the rest of this so this is

47
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:34,640
a weird there's a weird product okay so this is uh what what is it 3840 by uh

48
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:39,840
1600 yeah that's right it's got a webcam built into it right up there at the top

49
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:43,840
it's uh 60 hertz so you know nothing groundbreaking as far as that goes

50
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:50,799
so this is just like the monitor on my desk except that it's got a computer built

51
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,640
into it so it's got a ryzen 3 apu with 8

52
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:57,519
gigs of RAM 128 gigs of SSD storage

53
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:03,280
and like no os pre installed on it it seems to be like kind of a a business to

54
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:08,080
business play but it's like backwards normally you'd have the system division

55
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:13,200
slap a display on a computer and in this case we've got the monitor division

56
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,680
slapping a computer into a display so it's like i don't know

57
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:21,359
let me know in the comments below what is this

58
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,800
why do you think it exists i'd love to hear from you

59
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,960
there's one thing that i can tell you why it exists though and that

60
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:32,400
is the dbrand grip it's a super grippy case with precision cutouts for your

61
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:36,960
camera your fingerprint sensor it's got super clicky buttons and of course it's

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:42,479
d brand so you can customize the look with any of their fabulous dbrand skins

63
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:45,680
and they're also promoting their prism screen protector this thing okay it's

64
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,520
not actually on this phone but don't worry about that this thing is unbelievable so they've

65
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:55,520
got a cool little applicator that makes it so you get a perfect application

66
00:04:53,199 --> 00:05:00,800
every time it feels really glassy from the front nothing about this demo is

67
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,199
staged i was absolutely dumbstructured

68
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,600
so check out both the grip and the prism at the link in the video description and

69
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,600
we will see you guys at the next ces booth

70
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,000
oh right i guess there's the gram there's new grams this one looks pretty

71
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,800
cool we're going to review it really soon our review unit's like in the mail

72
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,800
