Linus tech tips coverage of ces 2016 is brought to you by squarespace build it

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:11,519
beautiful here in the lg monitor booth

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:17,279
we've got a few things to get to before the main event so first we've got the 27

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:21,760
ud 88 this is a creator-oriented

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:25,680
27-inch 4k display and the big thing

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:29,439
here is not necessarily the 99 srgb the

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,679
well obviously 4k ips panel but rather

8
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:36,079
the fact that it features usb type-c connectivity so the laptop next to it

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:41,120
which is the lg gram a pretty cool piece of technology in its

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,920
own right is not only outputting to the

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:49,680
monitor at 4k resolution through that single type-c connector but it is also

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,239
being charged by the power plug that it

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,760
the monitor is using from the wall pretty freaking cool i should take a

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:02,000
moment and actually talk about the gram very briefly here this thing is sick

15
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,119
it's like macbook air type thin but a

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,600
whole other level of light it's 2.2

17
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:14,320
pounds with a core i5 or core i7 processor 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 or 512

18
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,560
gig SSD pricing is not available yet

19
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:22,000
but i will definitely be watching this one pretty closely which now brings us

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,960
over to the 27 ud 68 this is a more

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,439
gaming oriented model unfortunately it's still only 60 hertz but thanks to its 4k

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,439
resolution that's pretty much all you're going to be able to drive with a modern

23
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:38,400
display interface anyway so what makes this puppy gaming is the fact that it

24
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,880
features AMD freesync technology so with a supported AMD GPU you're not going to

25
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:47,439
have to deal with the lag or tearing associated with more traditional

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:52,000
solutions for when the GPU is outputting a frame rate that is not synchronous

27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:58,719
with the refresh rate of the display that leads us over to the centerpiece of

28
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:03,439
the show here the 34 uc 98 it's fairly

29
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:05,200
similar to lg's previous 97 with a

30
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:11,360
couple of key differences so it's still 3440 by 1440 34 inch 21x9 aspect ratio

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,920
it's got a couple of HDMI inputs a displayport input it's got a usb 3 hub

32
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:20,319
it's got Thunderbolt passthrough that's actually really cool Thunderbolt 2 pass

33
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:24,720
through for daisy chaining but the main differences are the id it now features a

34
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,640
metal stand that actually looks and feels quite a bit better the fact that

35
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:32,959
it now has height adjust something that was on the business model but not the

36
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:38,560
more consumer oriented one and finally it's got AMD freesync which is better

37
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,480
for eliminating tearing in games within

38
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,319
that freesync variable refresh rate window which leads us finally to the

39
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:51,120
centerpiece of the monitor display here three of those freesync enabled gaming

40
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:56,959
monitors in a what would you call this like mega uber ultra wide setup with the

41
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:02,239
theme around it being ultra wide dream setup so if you guys

42
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:07,599
weren't paying attention like entirely over the last couple of months we worked

43
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:09,599
with lg on a really really cool like

44
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:13,599
like almost like a festival that they did around ultra wide monitors they gave

45
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:18,800
away like 30 of their 34-inch ultra wides they

46
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,200
gave away three ten thousand dollar dream setups and that whole thing

47
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:28,319
actually concluded not that long ago with me doing a live stream of the build

48
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,599
for ryland who ended up winning ours there were a couple of other uh

49
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:37,519
influencers including jehovah witness a gamer and unbox therapy and unboxer

50
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,760
slash lifestyle expert he's man that guy

51
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:44,239
is a lot cooler than me unfortunately and the finalized videos are finally up

52
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,720
so if you haven't had enough of checking out lg's monitors and the whole ultra

53
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,560
wide concept here with our booth coverage then make sure you check out

54
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,480
the link in the video description so you can see those finalists showing off

55
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:01,760
their finished setups after all this time

56
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,360
