you guys know I hate to be the bearer of bad news yeah you're fired you're fired you're gonna have to be fired you're not allowed to work here anymore Oh bad news I already quit you're fired but here it is the world is just gonna have to wait a little longer than originally expected for 4k monitors to dominate the mainstream why well because gaming ultra-wide just got a little closer to your price range the vast from mass drop is a 35 inch 34 40 by 1440 100 Hertz freesync ultra wide aimed at gamers for a hundred and fifty dollars less than the one that dropped 3.8 million jaws just nine months ago so to hit this price did they like out cheap the Korean brands or did they just cheap out well I'll tell you who didn't cheap out Rose will you can check out their neon kay 85 gaming keyboard with mechanical switches and m-53 gaming mouse with up to 4000 dpi sensitivity at the links below oh I shouldn't have that strudel so with the vast mass drop set out to strike the perfect balance between features and cost and you can tell by just looking at it strips of gray anodized aluminum accent the parts that you can see interrupted only by a deliberately dim power LED and the rest is simple black plastic much of it glossy though for some reason that I don't care what the reason is because no reason is good enough all the i/o is thankfully on the side of the monitor so you don't have to go through this every time you want to plug something in but it's pretty basic no USB hub no DisplayPort over USB type-c no HDMI out no magnetic paper clip holder just a pass-through headphone jack one DisplayPort 1.2 port one HDMI 2.0 and two more hdmi 1.4 ports that actually won't run past 50 Hertz at native resolution but could be good for sources like game consoles that run at lower resolutions or like picture-in-picture if you want to fight your way through the inexplicably horrible on screen display navigation to be the first person to use that feature since 1998 ergonomics is where we get our claim in the video title technically there are other monitors priced the same as this one but you'd have to buy a third-party monitor mount to get the features of the vast it doesn't swivel but it has 20 degrees of tilt it's got a gas spring actuated 11 centimeters of height adjustment and it's even got 90 degrees of pivot making it perfect for ultra tall gaming or for browsing reddit more efficiently than ever before but seriously mass drops positioning of the vast as a gaming display does seem to be mostly justified it's using a VA panel boasting 2 millisecond over driven pixel response times and while compared to LG's similarly priced gaming ultra wide it's running at only a hundred Hertz versus 144 Hertz it's doing so at a much higher resolution and then compared to offerings from Asus and Acer that also run at 34 40 by 1440 you are giving up support but you are paying only half as much so how the hamburgers did mass drop managed to undercut the big dogs so handily well their video promoting this product seems to suggest that it had to do with choosing the appropriate technology with the two millisecond response time and the 100 Hertz refresh rate of their V a panel from a uo being and this is a direct quote just as fast as any TN panel and NS color performance that's on par with first-rate IPS panels ok mass drop I love you guys you sponsored this show you sent me this dope ass monitor to check out so I really hate to do this but that is a big load of crap and in my opinion that video needs to be pulled your monitor delivers a pretty great gaming experience for all the reasons that it would on paper VA panels including yours do actually deliver noticeably better contrast than competing technologies outside of OLED and they definitely have better color accuracy and viewing angles than TN and at this price it's a killer value but it's pixel response times are nowhere near a 1 millisecond response time 240 Hertz TN display like a Seuss's rog swift PG 258 q no matter how much overdrive you apply at a hundred Hertz i mean it's good for a 1440p ultra wide but it's on the low end of high refresh rate and a hundred percent coverage of the sRGB color space does not make it as color accurate as a premium IPS I'm not mad because the product is bad it's not bad in fact it scored very well in our battery of color and contrast tests courtesy of the folks over at portrait I just don't like the way that certain aspects of it are being positioned as specifically great for gaming while others are being bloss Tovar freesync for example is a super marketing bullet point but in practical terms running triple-a titles on AMD's highest end graphics card today if you can get one at decent settings / native resolution you would frequently be below the 49 Hertz minimum refresh rate for a to refresh and then when that happened you'd experience stutter leg and tearing as though you didn't have it at all so to be clear none of what I just said prevents me from recommending that you go buy this product because ignoring the marketing the vast is arguably the best bang for the buck gaming ultra-wide on the market and you know what else is great and a good value tunnel bear be easy to use VPN now there are lots of people that prefer to keep their VPN subscriptions anonymous and while cryptocurrencies can help remove the
