I know Internet what's up everyone Jays two cents here and you guys remember that video I TS where we talked about how hard is it to run a qHD panel ultra wide panel well this is it right here we're gonna finally talk about this panel talk about specs talk about color accuracy and of course gaming performance because we've reached an interesting time when it comes to panels they're becoming affordable or definitely a lot more affordable than they were a couple years ago back in the day you could spend $1200 on a panel like this but not today and we're gonna talk about it of course there's new light loop RGB fans features 16 independent RGB LEDs across two separate light loops allowing users to create unique and custom lighting effects perfect for both air cooling as well as radiators the corsair light loop RGB fans are an excellent choice for that ultra custom look learn more by clicking the link below so this panel is the vast 35 inch wqhd ultra white panel being offered by mass drop you guys can find a link down in the description below mass drop has sponsored this video so a huge shout out to them for sending this our way to kind of take a look at but what makes this one a little bit unique is the fact that it is a V a panel now VA is interesting because it's not a TN and it's not an IPS but the advertise it's kind of giving you the best of both worlds well the TN panel you tend to get very fast response times very fast refresh speeds so you could get you know high refresh rate which is how fast the picture is able to refresh itself on screen and the response time is how long it takes the pixel to go from gray to white to gray again now the specs on this are fantastic in fact on the surface you'd probably think it was a TN panel just based on the specs because it's a 100 Hertz refresh rate freesync panel so AMD GPU owners rejoice oh you can get your free sync technology with this panel and it is a two millisecond graded gray so that is extremely fast typically IPS panels were not good for gaming because of the fact that they were slower at but you know they had really good color correction and color accuracy the problem is for gaming that meant a little bit less vibrant colors but much more accurate so the colors didn't pop as much there was a little bit of ghosting on the screen and so over time IPS panels have improved as well but the problem is as I yes panels got better the price of them stayed pretty high because now you were having a gaming performance IPS panel which is why the other ultra wise that were on the market were IPS and over $1000 fact you could easily spend a thousand dollars today so what makes this panel already exciting is the fact that this is five hundred and ninety-nine dollars on mass drop right now so this is about half the price that these debuted at now VA is known for giving you a much deeper black level and a much better contrast where IPS tends to usually be a little bit less contrast even more true to life that has to do with the color accuracy of IPs but this has a 178 degree off viewing access or access axis I always say access access access whatever you get I'm trying to set hopefully but it's 178 degree viewing angle which means you can look at it from the sides and not get huge color shift which is a downside to TN panels so you can already see that we've got the color accuracy of 100% RGB or Adobe RGB color gamut and we've got 178 degree viewing angle with a two millisecond graded gray and a hundred megahertz refresh rate so that right there spells an ultra smooth stutter free gaming experience without ghosting on the screen there is nothing more distracting than ghosting when it comes to a gaming panel basically that means as you move your image the read the pixels cannot change color or brightness as our redrawing the image fast enough and so you get the image kind of looking like it's separating or ghost you kind of like a dream sequence in a movie it's very distracting there's nothing gamer about it in terms of build quality this is probably one of the most solid panels I've ever felt it is a full aluminum bezel so unlike plastic bezels where typically they'll creak and Bend this this is metal this is solid I mean who would do this with a monitor I just did it's metal it's deciding to be beat on and let's face I don't think you should beat on your panel but I've got kids so things are bound to hit it at some point so the full metal construction on this definitely makes it feel robust the bass is a very non intrusive I think it's stylistic it's not the typical game or panel you'd see with RGB everywhere and flashy logos and red bezels or orange bezels or whatever it's just a very my fingers really hurt right now from hitting that that hurt a lot if that tells you anything but this is a desk or a monitor that you could put on your desk in your office or in your your mancave your nerd cave or whatever game on it looks professional it's not gaudy and you could build a whole style around it now the contrast ratio the true contest I'm doing quotes again the true contrast ratio is 2500 to one you see these extremely out-there numbers like it's 5 million to one I mean that's not a true you can't have 5,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio on something that is backlit there is a light turned on back there so the real contrast ratio on this is 2500 to 1 which is great now let's talk about picture quality though I did notice that there is a little bit of blotchiness to the screen especially when it comes to gray gray is one of those things that's kind of hard for a panel to give you a perfect uniformed color black black usually has to do with light bleed so when when black is being displayed we just have a black screen here then what you'll notice is whether or not there's light bleed in the corners because remember most of these panels that are LED LCD are edge lit where there's the light that goes around the edge of the panel shining across it and it's reflecting and that's how you're getting your backlight but when it goes black the gates closed on the LCD and then what happens is you just get the light being blocked so you would sometimes see bleed in the corners this panel is actually pretty good I'm not noticing any light bleed in the dark scenes we did notice gray though tends to have some blotchiness but it's only noticeable if you're looking at scenes that are really dark or they're very solid uniform color like dark gray you know medium gray black whatever so that's going to be something you'll notice more if you're watching movies and stuff less if you're playing games games as things are happening so fast and stuff it's not that noticeable but if you're watching movies like let's say the Dark Knight or something like that where they're always dark scenes because they're very cinematic and dramatic then you might notice that a little bit but when we notice it with this panel that's a little bit different than the norm normally you see light bleed where it's light around the edges this monitor has a little bit of a vignette II almost where the edges look like they have a dark fade to them so they almost look like they fade the black on the edges ever so slightly now we've used this panel to edit last couple of videos the color accuracy on it seems pretty good so we bring up the Vectra scopes when we look at color we we noticed it doesn't seem to be too out of whack but you want to be careful though with VA though with it being a little bit more contrasting a little bit more punchy with color because you could find yourself under saturating a little bit because the panel has a little bit of natural over saturation versus like a straight-up IPS panel so that's something worth keeping in mind so it has some pretty sweet built-in picture profiles for things like movies games fps what's cool about the fps is it actually reduces the contrast and brings up the darks that way you're not that guy that got killed by the guy in the shadow that was right in front of you because you didn't see him aka me anytime I play any game especially insurgency I die a lot from shadows but the FPS mode will reduce the contrast and bring up the low lights that way you can easily see things in shadows it's got a built-in crosshair so if you want to I guess technically cheat if you want to like you know 360 noscope bro then you can just bring up the crosshairs on the screen it's got audio pass through so it'll pick up audio through the the DisplayPort or HDMI and you can plug in your headphones directly to the monitor it has one HDMI 2.0 two HDMI 1.4 and a display port so you can have multiple things hooked up to this your consoles whatever else multiple sources DVD players and of course if it's something that's not 21 by 9 aspect ratio then it will just black bar on the side one thing that's kind of nice about this panel though and given the fact that it has so much screen real estate is it does have hip or picture-in-picture so you can have one of those other HDMI sources displaying on the screen at the same time so we've got another streaming PC or something like that you could actually have a small window in the corner showing that PC and you know care to keep tabs on that without having to have a separate screen obviously picture and picture has multiple uses on that but it's kind of nice too something like this so I feel like the value that you're getting for this panel for five hundred nine dollars is hard to compete with so you're getting the speed and the color of VA so you're kind of getting the speed of TN and the IPS color accuracy kind of melded into one at the VA panel you're getting this super solid construction adjustable base so of course it can rotate you can adjust the height you can rotate this some sort of like a development machine so you can rotate it portrait and keep an eye on your chat and stuff if you're you know a streamer or something like that and of course it's got a very solid base on here and it has tabs on the back that you can route your wires through so as a ton of well-thought-out features on this panel I do have one complaint though because nothing ever seems to be totally perfect and this is something that I can personally overlook because the height of the panel doesn't really bother me our particular unit though is not maintaining its height there's a there's a spring in there that's supposed to be a kind of a counter lever or counterbalance to hold it in whatever position you put it in ours unfortunately will not stay well it stays at the very top the problem is it will then want to slam it down but it will see it won't stay so either stay at the very top or the very bottom but it won't stay you guys kept I'm trying to say they're right I mean it probably needs a little more tension on that spring but I couldn't find any where there where we were supposed to adjust that but that's the only negative I have to this I mean you get freesync hundred Hertz two millisecond response time color accuracy of VA and the response time of a TN panel you even get on screen display SD fake crosshairs all kinds of stuff no you guys tell me I think this is a panel that is definitely worth taking a look at so the link is in the description below check it out we'll be using it in fact people in the studio I've already been calling dibs on it fills the first one I got to use it for content creation Nick's already shopping for one now he wants one it's too bad I'm probably taking at home guys all right guys bring it out here thanks for watching let me know what you thought about this panel if you use any of their panels we should check out make sure you put it in the comments below and as always we'll see you in the next one
