00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.520
our ces 2019 coverage is brought to you by the dbrand grip and prism screen

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.759
protector you can check them out at the link in the video description so we're

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:15.280
here in the lg booth where they actually downplayed the kind of monitor stuff

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

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.199
even though it's iterative improvements is actually

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

00:00:25.439 --> 00:00:31.439
ultra wide monitor curve 49 wl95c

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:37.680
it's a lot cooler than it sounds so just like samsung's recent 49 inch

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

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:47.039
ratio display it's really really wide it's curved and

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:51.920
it's optimized for kind of a combination i guess of productivity and or super

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:58.640
immersive gaming but unlike samsung's instead of being

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.640
limited to a 1080 vertical resolution

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:07.320
which means that the entire image looked kind of grainy lg has gone one better

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:09.920
and they've delivered a 5120 by

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:14.400
1440 resolution on this thing so the image is much much finer now this means

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:19.759
for gamers you're going to have a pretty hard time driving it because this is

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:21.680
effectively kind of a shortened 5k

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:27.280
monitor but frankly you won't be worried about that

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:28.960
anyway because it only runs at 60 hertz

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

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

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

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:48.880
monitors that didn't have support for NVIDIA's g-sync and here they are their

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.600
timing's impeccable right as NVIDIA announced that regular adaptive sync

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:58.560
displays can run g-sync now lg's here with the g-sync module in

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

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:08.479
now because it means that you've got a very very wide variable refresh rate

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.560
window it means you've got support for adaptive pixel overdrive so you're not

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.560
going to get more or less smearing depending on the refresh rate of the

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:22.480
display and in this case it means because they're using the module they

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:24.800
can drive this thing at 3840 by 1600

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

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:37.360
instead of 75 hertz they have nearly doubled that to 144 hertz native and it

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:40.239
can actually overclock to 170 now all of

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

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:49.680
thing is basically best of all worlds that i can really

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:53.360
identify oh and if you're into it it's got this reactive lighting thing that

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

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

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:07.519
coming anytime soon they have no pricing information for us whatsoever but uh

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:13.519
hey the future is now later bringing us

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.440
somewhat awkwardly and abruptly to this

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:19.440
thing so the only notes i have about the

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:22.560
ck 950 n is that there's no pricing available at

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

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

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

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:43.840
it's uh 60 hertz so you know nothing groundbreaking as far as that goes

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

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:54.640
into it so it's got a ryzen 3 apu with 8

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:57.519
gigs of RAM 128 gigs of SSD storage

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

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:08.080
business play but it's like backwards normally you'd have the system division

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:13.200
slap a display on a computer and in this case we've got the monitor division

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.680
slapping a computer into a display so it's like i don't know

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.359
let me know in the comments below what is this

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:24.800
why do you think it exists i'd love to hear from you

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:28.960
there's one thing that i can tell you why it exists though and that

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.400
is the dbrand grip it's a super grippy case with precision cutouts for your

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:36.960
camera your fingerprint sensor it's got super clicky buttons and of course it's

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:42.479
d brand so you can customize the look with any of their fabulous dbrand skins

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.680
and they're also promoting their prism screen protector this thing okay it's

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

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:55.520
got a cool little applicator that makes it so you get a perfect application

00:04:53.199 --> 00:05:00.800
every time it feels really glassy from the front nothing about this demo is

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:03.199
staged i was absolutely dumbstructured

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

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.600
we will see you guys at the next ces booth

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:22.000
oh right i guess there's the gram there's new grams this one looks pretty

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

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.800
