    I think premium monitors are an underrated part of the PC gaming setup.
    $2000 is obviously extravagant in this case, but even jumping from 1080/60 to 1440/60 is transformative. All your games suddenly pop with extra vividness and detail.

This monitor is mount compatible and therefore the point you bring is is not a factor in the quality of the product.

    • @TorrellesEdit
      @TorrellesEdit 6 лет назад +21

      For some reasons:
      1st -> space in my desk only allows for a 27 inch or smaller monitor. My previous one was 23 inch.
      2nd -> response times on color-competitive TV's (such as LGs) sit around the 20ms mark, while this monitor has 4ms.
      3rd -> G-Sync!

    • @kigasdj2
      @kigasdj2 6 лет назад

      Torrelles well you can't do anything about first one is legit. But come one do you really think you can see difference between 4ms and 20ms? :) playing witcher or AC origin definitely not going to make any difference to you :) gsync, still finding it more as a gimmick when any real use. Vsync does same thing didint notice any differences :) not arguing what you wasted your money, but I just can't understand how bad is monitor market comparing to tv technologies. Spending thousands to get HDR and some good colours than TV does all that without gimmicks for more than double the price :)

    • @FNPivvot
      @FNPivvot 6 лет назад +9

      20ms and 4ms is actually a HUGE difference in latency when you are playing games. As someone who plays console games on a TV as well as games on a PC, you can definitely notice the difference. Especially when it comes to reacting quickly to things that happen on-screen. Not to mention the experience with a monitor consistently feels "snappier" than on a TV due to the latency difference. Hell, any competitive player worth their salt will shy away from a panel with more than 6ms of latency.
      Another area where TV's don't do so well is in the pixel density department. Sure, you can get a 36" TV for only a small amount more than a high-end 27" monitor, but you'll either have to sit very far away from your desk, or be so up close that you get color distortion at the edges of the panel. Pixel density also goes down the larger you make a screen, so the image on a 27" is going to be sharper than on a 36" of the same resolution. Which, again, is better for computer use since you are sitting at a desk with the display in close proximity.
      In short, there are reasons to purchase a monitor over a TV. Mainly because they are more optimal for using with a computer since your sitting within a small distance and are interacting with various things on screen constantly compared to simply viewing a movie on a TV where none of that matters. Different use cases call for different solutions.

    • @kigasdj2
      @kigasdj2 6 лет назад

      PivotRedAce yes, size of TV makes it more pixelated if it is on low res, but having massive screen on your PC which suppport 4k kind of makes games alive. Sorry but lattence it is completely gimmicks, do you have a hawk eyes to see differences in milliseconds? Definitely not, I never seen any difference between TV or Monitor in latency and I seen a lot of monitors and TV, latency, g-sync is nothing else just marketing gimmicks to sell monitors, but in real life it does not give any practical advantage to user. Probably you will feel difference when you have like 500 milliseconds lag or something but between 40, 20 or 4, just please give me a break, there is no difference at all

      I should also mention I easily get 144fps on AAA games. No idea what Linus is talking about, but I run 2 monitors and get 144fps on AAA games with a single 1080Ti

      I am still salty that I missed Dells last oled monitor... They stopped production because it ended up not being financially worth while, but after using my partner's alienware with an oled screen for over a year now... it annoys me to look at my normal monitor.

  • @bearyboy9088
    @bearyboy9088 6 лет назад +55

    Well, what GPU would you wanna use for it. That's already the biggest problem. You can use more than 1 GPU but at some point after paying 2000$ (the commercialised price) the PC that is going to support that resolution at 144hz it's going to be really pricey and idk if that will be worth it overall. After all the main selling point is the comparably cheap price? Even competitive gaming doesn't require that

    • @jeremyowen1

      You're paying for HDR. "High Dynamic Range" It's an up and coming technology in monitors, that allows a much higher range of colors/contrasts.

      @zipper761882 6 лет назад +5

      Beary Boy HDR on pc monitors is still technically a new thing for most. While it is standard for many tv's, pc monitors are way behind in that aspect. Most "HDR" labelled monitors can't even hit the VESA standard minimum 400 nits, let alone the 1000 nits of brightness needed to properly display HDR content.
