thanks to MSI again for sending us to this year we would not be here without
0:03
them and also thank you to linda.com all right guys welcome to Theus Booth again
0:07
for a 34-in curved g-sync monitor this
0:11
34-in monitor roing IPS technology 3440
0:15
X 1440 pixels tilt swivel height
0:18
adjustment no pivot because that would be ridiculous cuz you'd smack it into
0:21
the table all the time and nobody really wants a vertically curved monitor
0:24
anyways so just don't worry about that is very interesting it has beautiful
0:28
aluminum construction all around it looks great tiny little bezels the
0:32
actual physical bezel of the outside of
0:35
the monitor is very thin although you do have a border on each uh the the top and
0:40
left and right sides and the the stand
0:43
looks really cool at first it's just like oh that's an interesting new design
0:46
nothing majorly different but there is a light on the bottom which projects an RI
0:51
logo onto your desk which is I don't know I think that's pretty badass but I
0:55
think that's up to you to decide what you think about that and there's an r
0:58
logo on the very back of the monitor the controls for the monitor are on the far
1:02
right hand side just on the back and there's a little joystick control along
1:07
with a whole bunch of buttons because there are tons of features on the
1:10
monitor like little fun stuff like turbo
1:13
hotkey game plus and game visual functions and that includes things like
1:18
the the Crosshair that they can put on the screen for you or any other kind of
1:22
Auto adjustment things or changing your the refresh rate of the monitor really
1:26
really quickly on the fly in terms of latency we're talking about 5 m
1:29
milliseconds which is not super surprising judging by everything else
1:33
that's in this monitor that's about what I expected and that's kind of it we'll
1:38
probably need a more Hands-On review of this and I'm sure once lonus sees this
1:41
he'll want to get his hands on it so I wouldn't be super surprised at all if we
1:45
had a full indepth review all I can say right now is it looks absolutely
1:48
beautiful but objective reviews of a monitor at a show is not great
1:52
considering all the crazy lights and everything that's going on so stay tuned
1:55
to the line of SE tips for more on this monitor now I have curved and g-sync are
1:59
not really your thing and you're more into flat and freesync you've got the
2:03
mg278 Q and The mg279 Q the 278 Q is a
2:08
TN panel at 1 millisecond response time and the 279 Q is an IPS panel at 4
2:13
milliseconds response time I'm not going to go too in-depth on these because
2:17
lonus has a video on them from CES but I also want to give them a shout out
2:20
because they are coming out extremely soon I think in the next kind of month
2:24
or two so stay tuned for that all right guys let me know in the comments down
