00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.559
Linus tech tips coverage of ces 2016 is brought to you by squarespace build it

00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:11.519
beautiful here in the lg monitor booth

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

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:21.760
ud 88 this is a creator-oriented

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:25.680
27-inch 4k display and the big thing

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:29.439
here is not necessarily the 99 srgb the

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:31.679
well obviously 4k ips panel but rather

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:36.079
the fact that it features usb type-c connectivity so the laptop next to it

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:41.120
which is the lg gram a pretty cool piece of technology in its

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:43.920
own right is not only outputting to the

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:49.680
monitor at 4k resolution through that single type-c connector but it is also

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:52.239
being charged by the power plug that it

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.760
the monitor is using from the wall pretty freaking cool i should take a

00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:02.000
moment and actually talk about the gram very briefly here this thing is sick

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:05.119
it's like macbook air type thin but a

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.600
whole other level of light it's 2.2

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

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.560
gig SSD pricing is not available yet

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:22.000
but i will definitely be watching this one pretty closely which now brings us

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.960
over to the 27 ud 68 this is a more

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:29.439
gaming oriented model unfortunately it's still only 60 hertz but thanks to its 4k

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

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:38.400
display interface anyway so what makes this puppy gaming is the fact that it

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.880
features AMD freesync technology so with a supported AMD GPU you're not going to

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:47.439
have to deal with the lag or tearing associated with more traditional

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:52.000
solutions for when the GPU is outputting a frame rate that is not synchronous

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:58.719
with the refresh rate of the display that leads us over to the centerpiece of

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:03.439
the show here the 34 uc 98 it's fairly

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:05.200
similar to lg's previous 97 with a

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:11.360
couple of key differences so it's still 3440 by 1440 34 inch 21x9 aspect ratio

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

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:20.319
it's got Thunderbolt passthrough that's actually really cool Thunderbolt 2 pass

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:24.720
through for daisy chaining but the main differences are the id it now features a

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:28.640
metal stand that actually looks and feels quite a bit better the fact that

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:32.959
it now has height adjust something that was on the business model but not the

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:38.560
more consumer oriented one and finally it's got AMD freesync which is better

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:40.480
for eliminating tearing in games within

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:46.319
that freesync variable refresh rate window which leads us finally to the

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:51.120
centerpiece of the monitor display here three of those freesync enabled gaming

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.959
monitors in a what would you call this like mega uber ultra wide setup with the

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:02.239
theme around it being ultra wide dream setup so if you guys

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:07.599
weren't paying attention like entirely over the last couple of months we worked

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.599
with lg on a really really cool like

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.599
like almost like a festival that they did around ultra wide monitors they gave

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:18.800
away like 30 of their 34-inch ultra wides they

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:23.200
gave away three ten thousand dollar dream setups and that whole thing

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:28.319
actually concluded not that long ago with me doing a live stream of the build

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:31.599
for ryland who ended up winning ours there were a couple of other uh

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:37.519
influencers including jehovah witness a gamer and unbox therapy and unboxer

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:39.760
slash lifestyle expert he's man that guy

00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:44.239
is a lot cooler than me unfortunately and the finalized videos are finally up

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

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.560
wide concept here with our booth coverage then make sure you check out

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:58.480
the link in the video description so you can see those finalists showing off

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:01.760
their finished setups after all this time

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.360
