I didn't think I needed this... but take my money.
I have been in a situation where I had my camera on a tripod and came to the conclusion that maybe I should unscrew it while not looking at so maybe the BLLEEP that didn't like me taking a photo wouldn't notice that I was getting ready to use my tripod on his skull.
Tripods have an alternative use. Of course mine was a touch larger as its legs went from to there and back again.

Can your 240Hz gaming monitor do this?!?!
- Yeah my imaginary one.
239 hz, literally unusable
The other day I read a post by a guy claiming 90 fps was unplayable.
60 and even 50 is perfectly playable, sure i don’t play at those frame rates since they feel awfully choppy compared to 144 but people who don’t have high end monitors or pcs (like i used to) 50 is perfectly fine
@@crckrbrrs Bruh, 15 FPS is heaven to me
f
I played on 60hz for the past like 4 years and since I got a pc and 144hz every time I get 60 FPS ever it feels like I’m lagging it’s crazy.

All these companies going all in on "MORE FIDELITY" but our bandwidth-limited internet is bottlenecked af to the core.
Meanwhile I wonder how stadia is doing under the current world-wide-web infrastructure.... cant wait for 4k streaming that isnt compressed to fuck (in 30 years)
Lol
@@hgibbons69 Not sure what ya mean. I have a Gigabit fiber connection. lol
@@DMan-ud6bt (owen wilson) wow!
gigabit fibre broadband that you clearly don't understand is converted from photons and back into electrons at a massive detriment to the actual speed of the native fibre optic speed-rate, in order to make the conversion of data from light to electricity (and be useable by your devices)
Look up the current global infrastructure of broadband and tell me we arent crippled by the conversion from fibre optics down to copper wire.
Electrons be slow compared to the speed of light, mate
@@hgibbons69 I get that you're trying to sound smart online and may even understand a little bit. Fiber is capable of far beyond a gigabit speed, even my copper CAT6A is capable of over 10 Gbps, and I reliably get well over 800Mbps down and frequently get over 900Mbps down on my desktop, so my actual speeds are damn good regardless of whatever jealous insults you may want to type out.
If you're trying to say the ISP isn't capable of providing the real speed, then you're still wrong. The only limiting factor in most cases is the speed at which the content is provided by the source. Downloading from one site, for example, might suck while downloading from another might be fantastic.
I love this, i hope more monitors move in the direction of thinner and lighter, makes no sense how an ipad has a high resolution and 120hz refresh rate display and is as thin as a few sheets of paper AND has an entire system inside while a simple 1080p 60hz monitor is fat and chunky with a built in or external power supply
4:42 Well I do love my full sized TEN key keyboard

wait am i imagining things did asus finally do a monitor thats glossy?
Did you forget about the VG248QE?
what do you mean finally? glossy is horrible especially for glare, you cant see crap
@@maximusgladi8or glossy is unfiltered vibrant matte just limits brightness and makes white look sandy not to mention a matte screen looks terrible to me I want only glass
@@taltigolt you must get some pretty cheap monitors then, go and get you a CRT plenty of reflective gloss to your hearts content. we will be in 2020 with non reflective monitors with no glare
@@maximusgladi8or i am perfectly fine with my sony oled tv thank you very much, all matte monitors sudder from crystalized white it's just part of the coating.
That bag needs a hardpanel in it to protect the screen, even if it's just one side and leaving the other for Laptop to go in.
Couldn't your laptop just act as the hard panel protecting the screen?
The monitor already comes with a hard cover.
@@Elwon20 i mean it could but it wouldn't be practical.
I used to work on office, now 100% remote.
Love this monitor, not only now I have dual screen work setup, but also I can simple put it on the shelf after work.
I like high refresh rate, since scrolling lots of code, I prefer clear view during that.
Also it's perfect on short trips, not only for quick work sessions, but connecting switch as well or play movie from phone.
I know I could go with less gaming option, but hey I could afford it and there aren't so many battery powered portable screens with that quality.
My plan is to have one big desk with Odyssey G9 on it with desktop pc and second setup with this monitor + work laptop on table only for working hours.

Flame Beats I’ve got 27” 1080p 165Hz IPS screen and a 24” 1080p 75Hz IPS screen that can do portrait mode .
I got a monitor from Acer , something related to Cinematography. Extreme color accuracy but on 75hz. 24" 2.7K Super IPS.
A good tripod is actually quite expensive, so if the one they include is a quality one then it might be worth it.
True. Gotta consider this is just tabletop though.
I'd be nice if they had a 60hz low-end version of this, I need something like this to go with my laptop since web development on one laptop display just isn't enough I need 2.
I don't care about the high refresh rate or the speakers.
Needs a built in chrome cast and it’ll be amazing
u dont need the 240hz for chromecast, but ig that'd give it functionality without having anything else plugged in.
Did I actually read that correctly.... a chrome cast?
@@cookiemonster-ky9ru yeah
How about just Miracast? That'd be more universally useful.
@@cookiemonster-ky9ru ikr ew
I really liked that after "it's a club", James' immediate next reaction was "you can kill a grown man with it". Very very specific. And graphic.
graphic? :L
6:49 this is such a revealing test to show on camera since we are seeing at most 60 fps ; )
i travel alot for work, weeks at a time usually and i have a gaming laptop i take with me, i would be a buyer for this if it where 25in bc that is what i miss most on the road, fps games are hard on 15 and 17in screens
Amen. Make it bigger, knock it down to 120/144 Hz, maybe remove the battery, include carrying case that also holds a keyboard, mouse and mousepad and we're getting somewhere. With those adjustments it could probably be half the price too.
perfect lan party mate
I think this monitor is good for who’s someone on the go and travel a lot and has a ITX gaming rig
@thatCapN Crunch same... but man the price throws me off a bit
the way james talks about killing a man with that thing leads me to believe he has killed before

@@LinusTechTips Who hasn't? Right?
This is right in line with what I need with my set up as I travel so much. I’ve been waiting for portable monitors to really take off and it’s here now but at this price it’s a no go for me as much as I would use it.
I just got this monitor and I love it. Paired with my steam deck, I can now fit my entire lan party-setup in a small backpack and have it run better than any laptop I've ever had.
Imagine whipping out an Acer laptop that says "predator" on it while at school. Super creepy vibes. 😳
The words "School Shooter" on a laptop would make "Predator" look PG.
The way he set it up reminds me of a classic MacGyver episode 😂😂😂
I like it when you explain the reason what's going on with the product itself like when you were explaining the artifacting with the alien.
At 2:18 it looks like that sensor on the back of main character in Death Stranding XD

Sponsor block gang
@@thelightsilent it's cool if you have a laptop with thunderbolt and eGPU. I could see some people using it.
would love to have one of those for my programming classes at university
I really love the innovation behind this product, I would purchase it in a heartbeat - the only issue I have is that it is a bit too small at 17.3".
It would not be feasible to spend $940.00 just for an increase of 2.3" 's of screen real estate, when I can get a 25" 144Hz 1ms 1080p G-sync monitor for $220.00.
Yes I am still shy of 240Hz by 96Hz, but it's still a better upgrade path seeing as my laptop screen is a 15" 144Hz 3ms G-sync panel. I want this optimized to be utilized because it is such a great idea. It has huge potential.
I love mine. Got it the day it released. Perfect companion to my Hades Canyon. Single thunderbolt cable for power and display at 240hz. I think you're missing the value in the fact it's good enough to also be your home monitor, hence the stand.
Do you take that hades canyon and mobile monitor on the go?
I mean I can't imagine a use case where you need that on the go where a laptop wouldn't be better suited.
If you're just using it stationary I fail to see why you wouldn't use a desktop class monitor (and desktop/sff pc while we're at it).
Though, my imagination might be limited and I would love to hear about your use case :)
@@clusterduckster I do. I had a laptop before this. Problem with laptops, at least modern ones that can game, are thermals and updates to hardware. I had an A51m and the thermals were so horrific I couldn't get anywhere near the advertised specs out of it. Upgrading, which is why I got it, became impossible when they scraped gpu and cpu upgrade paths for the laptop. Also, it needed two ac adapters and the battery was useless (lasted about an hour and it had major functionality issues when on battery so I never bothered ). I got fedup and wanted something where if I wanted the screen updated I could, or the computer, I could, without rebuying a thousands of dollars setup. My wife has fibromyalgia and crohn's. She moves from room to room often to keep from getting stuff and sore. One power cord, one cable for power/vid for the monitor. I have a small Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo I use when on the go. I barely have to pack anything and moving around the house is easy with no issues with space use or issues with thermals. I'm very happy.
I am going to get this, thanks for the positive views
@@ShawnBuckingham glad I could help. You won't be disappointed.
Got it for my SFFPC which I take places. I ditched my gaming laptop so solid purchase.
Dude I was just doing some ROG Rig Reboot stuff and now I have more stuff to look forward to...
I study normally out of house (library, starbucks) and I would love one of these
I could see myself using that as a way of getting work done for a really lightweight system for on the go.
Maybe I missed it but what was the resolution? :)
Edit: Was at the very end. 1080P. :)
My friend bought this lol. He has a small form factor PC and wanted a portable screen. =P
Slapping that ad in the middle caught me off guard, nice one linus now that's alot of damage
I’m a long haul truck driver and am considering buying this monitor for when I’m on the road. Mostly for use with my IPad and also as a companion screen for my gaming laptop when I’m doing computer work in my bunk. Thanks for the review.

I debated to wait like 10 minutes for higher quality video lol
The way he handles the monitor, gives me *GOOSEBUMPS*
I just bought one to be my second screen for my Asus ROG Zephyrus S17 Laptop that I bring to work. I figure it can drive a 1080p display better than its own 1440p one when it comes to games and video playback while I work in audio post production with Pro Tools on the main screen, and I wanted 1440p for basically everything else, so it made sense for me.
I want to know what is the best 4k gaming monitor.

Just don't forget to Carry your

What a Travel Package
Just all your setup
i mean, it is, especially for an itx setup. and you could charge with your normal usb c cable so you dont need the brick. add the mouse and keyboard and youre the baller at the lan party
Power brick? It runs off thunderbolt 3 for display and power in a single cord (I own the monitor). He used a power cable cause he clearly didn't know how to operate it.
Just go without gaming when irl for god sake.
i just bought this. i use it for my car. i use to magnets 2 cellphone mounts and put it on my radio dash. and when im waiting for wifey from work or shoping im playing my nintendo switch or watching youtube with my phone . so dope and handy just wish there was a protective case for it. i was planning on getting the a Cocopar 17 inch or the 4k asus 17 inch but it didnt have no onboard battery. that why this comes in handy and when my battery dies i have a power station or power bank to charge it up. i give it 4.5 star so far
Hey great dude, do you have the knowledge to tell me if it's possible for that monitor to become wireless with the addition of the Microsoft wireless display adapter??? That would be a great feature and also a great topic for one of your next videos.
"Short"Circuit videos have mid-video sponsor spots now? Bros. I thought it was short circuit not regular LTT.
Just...fast forward?
I think the main distinction is the level of production quality/review detail. Unboxings vs reviews, kind of thing.
Shut up
@@Emolokz I...do? When ShortCircuit started they didn't have mid-video sponsors, and the videos were much shorter.
The clickbait 90% audience can't relate too
Might be useful for filming/production, although that really is a niche case
I have a generic brand monitor just like this one had it for a year and i mainly got it for my ps4 so i can take it around and into different rooms in my home and sometimes i take it to work
Asus : 240 Hz , Ips Panel ; 500 €
Xiaomi : 240 Hz, Ips Panel ; 125 € (999 Yuan)
Asus is really just overpriced af
Which xiaomi monitor does this? Please I would love to know
@@defeatatron5663 yeah like if that's real..
Woah. Almost as if China uses dumping prices because they're backed by the Chinese government in an attempt to take over the market.
But it probably has sucky response time,washed out colors,dim display AND SO ON
how about a better title like: "do you have a 240hz gaming monitor and can it do THIS?!?!"
I wonder if you could use this as a secondary screen for a DJI drone. Would make commercial shoots so much easier.
I would get that for when i travel for work. My Razer 15 pro is great but i just need more screens to be productive when im working on the road. As long as i can get work to get it for me im in.
at this point i'd rather have a oled tv with 60 fps rather than an inferior panel with 240 hz
240 hz na, but 144 heck yeah
Fortunately for you, OLED TVs come in 120hz
OLEDs are a only real useful in dark rooms. They are sort of like projectors.
@@atursams5501 i use my oled tv at day time with no issues with glare just use blinds and it's fine
@@taltigolt The contrast and perceived brightness you get in a well lit room defeats the purpose of OLED anyways. In this use case QLED is much better with superior brightness and vivid colors.
You can use a projector in a well lit room too. It's just not that great.

Was looking at this on Amazon earlier, waiting for a price drop but this would nice
I could see this being great for console LAN parties / tournaments. Not that we can do that right now, but this paired with a genki covert dock would make a great smash bros setup. Not that this use case necessitates the 240hz panel, but the tripod stand is a lot better than the folio stands found on other portable monitors (including asus' older models)
I see it being bought alongside something like the gaming nucs that have been introduced and taken to LAN parties like you said. It would probably be more capable than a comparable gaming laptop I would think...
Got this open-box on Newegg for 440 as a companion screen for my Eluctronics Thicc-15 and Nintendo Switch. So far really happy with it, but agree it's MSRP is about a hundo too much.
I need that monitor. So sweet! Do you plan to use it? If so please update later on what you think with extended use. 🙏🙏😊. Thanks for the great video.
I think a 144hz TN panel for much cheaper with that mounting system is something I'd be in for. I take my studies to coffee shops often and a 2nd monitor is always nice.
2:14 i didn't need that james
6:48 me seeing ghost in all of them thinking its weird and realising after 2minutes. my display is only 60hz. XD
I feel like I am going to buy this. Mainly because I am going to be studying and away from my pc at home and I guess having a portable monitor helps with setting up a gaming rig at my university
I really want that tripod. Will they make it available to purchase separately?
I don't need all the gamer focused features or the size but that tripod mount and stand that would be awesome in a business focused product maybe with a 14" screen
I would love to have this monitor for the LAN parties. Y'all should check out C Force monitors again. I literally just bought one of theirs.
I literally using this beauty, that is the best portable monitor so far in 2020 !!
and even perfect size for my needs.
Are there any portable monitors with a similar stand kit because that's the one feature I like and could use.
I think I would cut a piece of masonite to size and use that for protection and rigidity of the monitor in the bag. Masonite is liteweight enough and strong enough to keep any major damage from the monitor.
Used to carry around a 4k 27" when i worked a travel job, this actually woulda been pretty cool.
Yes, I've had it for over a month.
I'm from Taiwan, Asus' home country.
I got it because my Zephyrus Duo has a 4K display so I use the the XG17 for gaming.
I want to see a tiny triple monitor gaming setup with this complete with a tiny Mini ITX tower
Man if I was still at my last job I woulda bought this immediately, this would be a dream for travelling for work!
_me trying to expense a 240Hz monitor for home-office:_ it makes the presentation smoother
I needed this on my last deployment. I got one of those gaems monitors and the thing broke within a week
The price is a bit steep, but I've been considering a screen that uses DC power for use within a diesel rig to connect to a raspberry pi, with the option of using it as a secondary screen for my laptop. I've had success with powering the pi with a car charger with 3A usb ports for this purpose, but I've had to use a power inverter for my current screen.
Again, too pricey for what I want to do, but it's appealing in general.
You could use it with Samsung Dex or some form of chromecast / screen mirroring for a nice portable productivity or large(er) screen gaming setup
I’m one who had a gaming laptop and need an upgraded screen while on the road that I can use without draining my laptop battery. This was perfect. Others aren’t battery powered for the most part.
this could likely be used by those weird small-form factor pc's with mobile laptop processors in, like a NUC. I think a lot of emulation enthusiasts would love this kind of display for their gaming needs.
I have this, I have a ridiculous laptop but it's only got a 4k 60hz screen for media creation. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo.
I travel for work and am currently in Brazil, needed a good high speed monitor for gaming so I picked this up and it's been amazing.
The only thing I can see using this for is if buy a Nuk and want to bring it with you somewhere you have this monitor or with a consol. If you have a laptop and can use this as a second screen (something that wasn't brought up) it might be cool. Otherwise I don't really see the use for it. If it were a light portable 24in monitor then maybe, but that would be way too big to carry around in a bag. The tri-pod is cool, but other than that I don't know, I think the use for it is small.
1000$ Apple stand: Hold my monitor!
Well, this can be really good with mini-itx builds on the go, for people who travel a lot and stay at hotel rooms
