hey guys Boston this might be the ultimate gaming monitor big show that's the LG for sponsoring this video so we're actually doing something really cool together soon but I'll talk about that later so because I've been watching the channel for a while you know I do a lot of gaming PC videos but I don't do is cover a lot of monitors which is where this comes in the LG 34 you see 89 G because product name now comes the fun part of trying to unbox a monitor that's as big as I am you know what I'm actually let's just tear it open that sounds like a way better idea just really drop the monitors trying to be careful with it you actually this is a lot lighter than I thought it was going to be I'll put a lot of trust in this not fall and break right now this isn't right at all what am I do I just saw my life flash before my eyes I probably screw it in with these screws on the bottom of this probably a good idea I'm gonna put a Linus on that one so with one disaster averted we have the display itself now this is going to be a 34 inch display especially one of the best reasons why I like to use ultra wide monitors for gaming with such a big panel especially when it's curved like this one it does really give you a nice immersive experience so let's just show forts real quick in the roll call hmm how bad was it ah all right cool um reports around back we have a display ports HDMI as well as two USB 3.0 which can be used at the hub this guy is rocking a 34 inch IPS display with the resolution of 2560 by 1080 now that resolution isn't too crazy what you're getting here is some seriously high refresh rate out of the box it's running in 144 Hertz however you can actually over pocket u-166 here now that combined with g-sync support means that this is going to be a really smooth experience but if you're running AMD graphics there's also going to be a free sync version of this monitor which happens to also be a fair bit cheaper the panel supports 99% of the sRGB color space which makes it suitable for stuff like photo and video editing however for me the resolution is going to be a little bit low for this it is really meant as a gaming monitor before we get started we might as well overclock the monitor because it literally takes like 10 seconds all you do is reach underneath pull up the menu and it's all LG monitors make this pretty simple with a little nub on the bottom and when you do is turn the overclock LT modernise reboot and then it should be good then all you do is go into the Nvidia control panel make sure g-sync is enabled and select your refresh rate and a crispy 166 hurt so first you have dirt for MLE is this a really fun game but I think one of the nice things about it is that with this cockpit view it really does make the ultra wide look nice so on Ultra settings here we're getting anywhere between like 90 to 100 frames per second right now and with G think it looks super super smooth well the resolution of the display is a little bit low it is difficult to run even 2560 by 1080 and a super high frame rate so right now with a core i7 and a gtx 980ti I'm slowly getting about 90 frames per second personally for me I prefer a smoother frame rate with slightly lower graphics versus something that might look a little bit better there's not going to run anywhere near as smoothly HD have a game that can definitely take advantage of a high frame rate yes go now here with everything cranked up we're getting between 2 to 300 frames per second which is definitely enough to fully keep this monitor running at 166 Hertz and yeah it looks pretty good now I in by no means any good at csgo but even I can tell how much of a difference it makes having such a high refresh rate now I know a lot of people like to play this game at a super high frame rate even though the monitor can't handle it to keep input latency down but especially when you with 166 Hertz it looks nice although it's probably not enough to keep me from getting killed or maybe this now there are some special features with the monitor and one of them is black stabilizer so once you go into the options and turn this on so same in the dark area and I can't quite see someone hiding in the shadows especially what this is doing is it's bringing up all the contrast so it's making it a lot easier to see anyone who's hiding but it still doesn't affect the rest of the image if you want to get a little sneaky you can also enable a crosshair in the monitor so if you say want to do that and not pull up your scope it makes that a little bit easier oh oh you see that ha if you guys want a chance to potentially win not only one of these monitors but also a whole lot more oh gee is doing their third ultra wide festival and this year Linus and I are going to be hosting it for 2017 it's all focused around this ultrawide monitor but the grand prize is going to get a gaming set of worth $10,000 to enter submitted videos that's a 100 point for seconds or less explaining why you need the new ultra wide display now in the video make sure to now include your face but also your current gaming PC's then just post your video on YouTube Facebook or Instagram using these hashtag and then submitted at the link in the description 50 finalists will win a $50 steam gift card and the chance to come up to Canada hang out with Linus and I and potentially win that giant set up the contest will be running from August 14th to 23rd so good luck so what do you guys think about the ultra wide display let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
