thanks to synergy for sponsoring this video from CES 2018 synergy 2 is the easier way to connect one keyboard and mouse to multiple computers check it out at the link below so we're here in the Nvidia suite where they are showing off the world's first big big format sorry excuse me big format display they're bringing big screen gaming to the PC now gaming monitors that are big have already existed for quite some time and there are even PC monitors that are as large as 42 inches though it should be noted that there are only a few outliers that you could really consider to be gaming monitors that are 30 inches or above well that all changes today the 65 inch monstrosity behind me checks off a ton of the boxes from our video earlier this year where we designed our ideal gaming TV so it's got really low latency like super low like a monitor it's got DisplayPort and HDMI input just like a monitor it's got a hundred and twenty Hertz max refresh rate just like a monitor and like a high-end gaming monitor it supports variable refresh rate with Nvidia g-sync technology so they're announcing three different models but all of them are using a VA panel from a you Optronics with quantum dot film four DCI p3 color support and nice deep black levels they're also using a full array back light solution with local dimming in order to achieve 1000 nits peak brightness with the ability to support HDR now they haven't announced plans for Dolby vision at this time but it should be noted that most games maybe there's an exception or two you guys can leave a comment if you can think of anything but most games are supporting HDR through HDR 10 anyway let's talk results now they haven't announced how many local dimming zones these TVs have but if I had to guess I'd say it's probably similar to the 4k high refresh rate monitors that they talked about at CES last year so more than tens but probably not you know over a thousand something along those lines and in terms of results well local dimming is still not oled so that's a thing you can see blooms around bright objects in very dark scenes from time to time and it was especially noticeable in menus or if you have a bright moving light moving around your character like let's say like a navvy type assistant but if that's the case you've probably got more annoying things in your life and in general and fast paced situations we didn't really notice it while gaming now let's take a look at the back of a sirs prototype here these are absolutely prototypes so I guess the other thing to consider is that you've got to give them some time to improve it so they're announcing three partners Acer Asus and HP who are gonna launch displays hopefully sometime in the summer and it's up to those guys how they want to finish the screen matte or glossy how they want to do the stand the sound the bezel and the OSD options but in terms of the actual performance of the panel they're all using the same panel so it should be pretty similar okay then so I mean it's a TV realistically the expectation would be that you can use it for more than just gaming so Nvidia solution to that is to integrate a shield TV so they're full standalone device experience into the display and this is another thing that was in our video why don't you just have a high end thing built into the thing why are they why are they laggy it's ridiculous so Amazon and Netflix both have 4k HDR support and now you've got full integration with Google smart home and Google Voice which is pretty big and this is another announcement today that just like someone mentioned in passing I was like what really g-sync is now supported with game stream and in android games on shield TV though it should be noted you can't just plug your existing shield TV into your TV or your monitor because it only has HDMI out and gsync on the desktop anyway at this time is only supported over DisplayPort another cool thing for the TV guys not the gaming guys out there is video playback thanks to variable refresh rate is done at the native frame rate so if you're watching cinematic content it'll be running at 24 fps or if you're running something like the Grand Tour on Amazon then you will actually see it at the 25 fps that it was shot at No stupid interpolation no pulldown no nothing like that so let us know what you guys think in the comments is couch gaming finally here we've got low latency wireless mice we've got wireless keyboards we've got actual gaming TVs is it time well it's gonna depend on your budget like I said it's coming this summer and Nvidia is not commenting on pricing at all so I'm just gonna have to wildly speculate based on what I know about a typical g-sync up charge over a decent monitor and say I wouldn't expect these to be less than probably around 5 grand so let me know what you guys think you're gonna see and what you would pay at the comment section at the comment section damn it I was so close no let's just roll with that thanks to synergy for sponsoring this video synergy 2 makes the configuration of synergy their keyboard and mouse sharing software that works across Windows Linux and Mac easier than ever even with more complicated networking setups also improved with synergy 2 is the ability to have it running seamlessly in the background so you can set it and forget it so check it out at the link in the video description it's seamless comm slash synergy slash CES 2 you get 50% off down there by the way so thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video do that if you'd like to hit like if you really liked it then well you can't buy any of these yet so my standard outro is no good but you can subscribe so you don't miss any of our content from CES 2018
