ASUS Bezel-Free Displays & Fact-Checking BFGD

2018-01-10
hey everyone we're at CES 2018 still at the AC suite now and this was probably in terms of technology one of the most trivial products we've covered however for whatever reason a lot of you wanted us to cover this further because we posted a short news story and there was a surprising amount of interest in it before that this video is brought to you by Leon Lee and their 550 X and 330 cases the 550 X is a $180 mid-tower case with tempered glass on all panels it's got three RGB LED fans positioned in the front each of which has a metal frame housing and an open interior design if you prefer a cheaper option the 330 is $100 and comes without fans and is what we recommended it most heavily in one of our recent case reviews learn more at the link in the description below so this is what they're calling a bezel free kit it's pretty straightforward from the top level and actually the level it's it's just straightforward three monitors and you've got basically an acrylic glass so this is officially it's a PMMA plastic so it's a poly methyl acrylic basic methacrylate so it's an acrylic glass and it's a 130 degree angle for each of these displays that is the only angle these will work at they have a mount on the top and the bottom that specifically fits that viewing angle so you won't be able to sort of widen it out if you wanted but at this angle it works pretty well and we have before-and-after shots if you want to see a comparison for yourself the camera shows it pretty well so it's it's pretty basic we don't know the price yet it should be reasonably affordable it's acrylic and plastic mounts they come off pretty easily basically just pull and that's that's it reasonably flexible or reasonably sturdy and 130 degree viewing angles so they they have discussed the option of adding this to larger monitors than this one I think it fits officially 25 inch it should fit 24 27 and 32 as well but for now it sits on these PG 25 8q monitors so price TBD and launch quarter 2 sometime so that's what we know about the bezel freak it just kind of a neat thing I want to know what you all think though so leave a comment below on this one and then we're gonna move over to a species B FGD which we already looked at the BFG DS but there's a reason I'm revisiting it so we'll go over to that one next so the BFG D we showed this already once at the Nvidia suite but it was a different model was the HP model the reason I'm showing it again is because that did not have a framerate counter on it and we've heard rumors so I want to check out the one Asus has here and Asus because of some rules with Nvidia we weren't allowed to change any settings resolution or anything like that however testing games you learn a few tricks like the skybox being basically infinite framerate for most the most part so we tested this one and it does actually go over hundred FPS so it's at least it's hitting 101 102 at that point you're basically there we're just limited by 4k at this point so it was not constrained to 98 on the Asus model which is the only real reason I wanted to look at this again because I mean even just right here we're hitting over 85 and then once we have the b-roll of looking at the skybox directly it's going over 100 so the very least we have that it is functional on the higher refresh side if anyone was curious because the Nvidia demo was pretty restricted and had no framerate counter and they didn't let us touch the monitor or touch the OSD or anything else we also were allowed to get some shots of the back side of the Asus display so this is the PG 65 for anyone curious and on the back side it's actually got two active cooling fans I don't think that noise should really be a concern because maybe sitting far away it's on the back and yes but there's two active cooling fans back there right now it's got a couple of i/o ports USB three I think it's two of them at least and then there's another USB 3 type support as well so pretty standard stuff from the connection standpoint but we can't show you the OSD right now and all I can really say is that it's actually properly running at 4k 120 because for this demo we were allowed to do a little bit more with newer with the Nvidia demo so if you had any skepticism 25% of it should be quelled now but the rest we'll look at later when the time comes as always you can subscribe for more go to patreon.com/scishow his exit stops out directly and thanks for watching I'll see you all next time
