do you guys remember at CES where we talked about Nvidia going through and kind of validating g-sync compatibility with adaptive sync panels well that's where when we taking a look at today we only got to sort of experience that in their little demo environment and they were more or less showing us the compatibility issues rather than showing us kind of like hey here's how it works with it where it actually works because I guess there would mean and talk about if it actually works other than the fact that it works so LG reached out to us and said hey we want to sponsor a video we send you three panels you take a look and show us show your audience how adaptive sync and gsync can work together flawlessly without issues and that's exactly what we're gonna do today and before you can just enable G sync on your free sync right to sync panel you first have to download the latest drivers from Nvidia now we're running for 19.7 teen which is the most recent driver from Nvidia but once you run the correct driver then you will notice that the G sync option does indeed appear on this panel so first up this is the LG 34 GK 950 F the F standing for free sync there is a G option for this as well which is G sync but we can go over here to the little menu go to settings and then you can see right here that it is indeed in free sync mode it is an extended mode with HDR on and all the bells and whistles this I got to tell you as much as I'm gonna sound like a fanboy is my new favorite panel this is gonna be my new daily driver if you guys want to see a review of this panel please let me know and I'll do it if there's enough interest I'll do it but it's a 34 inch ultra wide 144 Hertz 21 by 9 1 millisecond HDR nano cell IPS gaming panel so one of the issues we saw with adaptive sync validation with g-sync was crazy color banding in the sky especially on HDR panels there was a lot of stuttering there was black screen flashes there was white screen flashes if you watch our video from CES I'll try to member to link it down below hopefully phil will do a little slide out we saw a bunch of different issues with some of the panels that they identified problems with I don't know what panels they were because they had tape over the logos but I can tell you right now we're testing this with three different LG panels I'm in battlefield five I'm hopping in a plane right here I don't expect me to do very well because I don't have my joystick I do like to fly with a joystick let's see what we can do what we're looking for here is any sort of weird funkiness and i don't immediately see anything off the bat you're going down buddy gotcha even with the mouse all right so we got HDR enabled obviously we're running 144 Hertz look I just leveled up as we're flying around here I'm not seeing any flickers aim-down-sight everything seems very normal is that a bad guy bummer i Spitfire respect for lots of guns Oh 21 by 9 HDR 144 hertz nano cell okay I don't know what nano cell is it's actually a new way of the LCD gate technology working we did a video about it in terms of the TV tech which is one of the TVs we use here at the studio but I made a comment there that I can't wait for it to make it to desktop and well here it is so that's a did you see the HDR in the explosion now as I'm flying around here I'm looking for things like banding and glitches there's no stuttering whatsoever so obviously the sync technology is working we are looking for banding in the sky and I want to point out this is a rendered video on YouTube so any banding that might appear in the video on your end could very well be through the encoding and then the compressing on YouTube but as we're playing right now you're seeing very good gradient in the sky it's not banding we're not seeing the issues that we saw at CES and I'm basically just playing here and I'm just looking for any sort of wonkiness if that makes sense and so far I'm not getting any of that at least on this particular panel what ahem getting though is my first time gaming at HDR it is just you ask yourself how can it get any better and then you start gaming in HDR and you're like oh that's how and then it just becomes like a whole lot of wow oh well our bodies are playing together uh okay so next up is the 32 inch sixteen by nine this is the LG 32 GK 650f same thing G sync is enabled 144 Hertz panel gaming panel obviously it's got all the same features that you would expect from LG's gaming line and no HDR in this panel so we're gonna go ahead and just fire up battlefield 5 and do the same thing we're gonna look for any sort of crazy artifacts and sort of banding any flickering which seems to be kind of like the very typical thing you find when there's validation issues I got a tank can I run over friendly oh that thing moves terribly slow I'm not thinking about it so that means clearly it's working right watch for movement do you know but he didn't put the center mass come on I put like three shots right in his chest all right so last up is the 24-inch LG 24 GL 600 another freesync panel obviously 144 hertz panel for i want to show you right here with the control panel is the way g-sync doesn't show up but if you go into the panel go to settings go over to free sync which is in the game adjust and turn it from off to basic or extended then it will automatically show up in the control panel as soon as it recognizes that this is a adaptive sync panel there it is setup g-sync click on it it's already enabled and we now have all of that buttery goodness ready to go so now we're on rotterdam and the nice thing about this test is every single time we've tested a different map not that the technology would really be map dependent in terms of being buggy or not it just at least gives us a good sample of saying whether or not we encountered any issues with different stuff so Rotterdam is a pretty demanding map they've sort of revamped it to make it a little bit less demanding those are not yeah I didn't think those were friendlies to be fair I could miss all those shots because I'm playing on a different Mouse and a different keyboard a different sensitivity and everything than my home system which I is the only system I've actually played this game seriously on oh god no glitches no issues well other than ice hey where are these these random idiots that suck at this game when we're all squatted on I know right like that all right well I've played enough we've got eight and four in this round not too bad I have not played this game in months and I'm not noticing any glitches any issues between g-sync and adaptive sync had ability at least in battlefield 5 so the three panels that we took a look at that was he fell oh all right well the three panels that we've taken a look at so far today are running pretty damn smooth and I got to say that I really suck at this game alright once again a huge thank you to LG for sending us three panels to take a look at one of which will certainly fall into someone's budget the 24-inch GL 600 F is definitely a very full feature filled 144 Hertz one millisecond gaming panel that's definitely one you should look at if you want a great gaming experience without completely breaking the bank we've got over here the 1440p which is a very common middle ground for gamers you get a high pixel density with all the features that you'd expect from an LG gaming panel that being the 32 GK 650 F and then my personal favorite like I said this is this is my favorite the ultra wide 144 Hertz one-millisecond nano cell IPS HD R 434 GK 950 F my absolute favorite like I said if you guys want to see a review on this please speak up and I will do one LG didn't ask me to do one but I kind of want to because this is everything I want in a panel right here but as you guys saw through our gaming experience there were no issues whatsoever with battlefield v an HDR title that right worked with this panel right here but didn't give us any sort of funkiness while playing no glitching no bending no flickering none of that stuff so as you can see these LG panels are completely compatible with g-sync once again a huge thank you to LG for sending us these panels to take a look at and do our own in-house testing with adaptive sync freesync technology used with nvidia graphics cards and gsync if you guys want to know more about these panels where to buy pricing and full specifications click the links in the description below a free sync enabled okay so the three panels we took a look at today the 24 GL 600 F the 32 I could do this I sort of got watch it watch the 32 GL you know GK the 32 GK 650f and the 34 no so once again now budget-friendly but certainly action-packed the mid-range 1440p panel the GL why this is a hard I know I know the number I know the format
