we talked about gaming monitors before on this channel which ones are best for your gaming setup rather you're looking for the best response time possible for multiplayer games or if you just want something that's gonna give you the best cinematic feel and today we're gonna talk about a mantra that's a little bit more of an interesting choice and that comes from LG with the very tongue-twisting name of the LG 43 UD 79 - B now this is primarily meant to be a Productivity monitor but it does have some uses in gaming as well to be upfront the one limiting factor for gaming is the fact that this is a 60 Hertz monitor so if you want to do any gaming that is over 60 FPS this is not gonna be the choice for you but there are a whole lot of other features that it does have to offer primarily it has an awesome viewing angle it has a non reflective coating so you're gonna have less glare issues than you would with other screens and does have a great response time but there's one feature in particular that really stands out about this and that's the sheer number of inputs it has and the ability to do picture by picture and picture in picture displays now when I say a lot inputs it has a lot of inputs it has four separate HDMI two of which are 1.0 so it's going to limit it to 30 Hertz but two more for one point for which you're gonna get that 60 Hertz performance also a USB C port and DisplayPort and with all of those combined we can do something dumb like this the theater is simple to make use of all the inputs on this monitor to do a gaming desk setup that supports as many systems as we can hook up so right now we are using every HDMI port on this thing to hook up a PlayStation 4 Pro an Xbox 1s a Nintendo switch and to add a little variety I also hooked up the analogue NT to play some old-school NES games in 1080 and along with that we still have an open USB C port so I can occasionally plug in a MacBook Pro if I want to actually get work done and not just play games as much as I hate having to do that and we also have an open display port so we can hook up a high-power gaming PC and the thing is it's really easy to switch between all of these because not only do have controls on the monitor itself but also comes with this handy little remote so you can switch between them just like it were a TV now this alone is handy but it's not the real reason why we want to do this setup because there's something about this monitor that allows this to be particularly ridiculous and fun and not at all a logical thing to do but it just seemed like a great idea at the time and that's making use of 4 screen split-screen to play all of these systems at the same time now the reason we went with a desk set up for this build is that it's all based around the monitor and the usual logic a lot of people have is oh I have a gaming monitor I use it in my desk setup but really it's a larger monitor at 43 inches and the way we're using it but we're having this whole setup of using multiple game systems this could also very easily work for a living room entertainment center now I'll be honest when I first had the idea of doing this in like a living room setup I was aware that this monitor might just be a little too small you know maybe getting used to you know 55-inch and above but honestly with the right entertainment console this looks really great now this is when we've actually used before for an ultimate PlayStation setup and it works perfectly for this because it allows us to show off multiple systems that are all being plugged in and used on the monitor at the same time so there we have two different ways you can make use of this monitor to create an all-in-one for system setup is this something that I think a lot of you are going to do no not all this is a terrible idea why would you do this but it's kind of cool
