this video from CES 2018 is brought to you by the symbiote demo car from group Renault we'll have that linked in the video description so we're here in the asus rog suite where they've got a ton of amazing display technology on display first up is their 144 hertz 4k HDR gaming monitor that we actually saw demoed like a year ago the PG 2 7uq but the key difference is that they are actually going to be shipping this thing really soon so that's a large 27-inch g-sync display 144 hertz 4k pretty much can't go wrong unless of course you're into ultra wide gaming in which case might be more into the PG 35 VQ so that's a 34 40 by 1440 35 inch g-sync 200 Hertz display so that is double the refresh rate of the predator x34 one of my personal favorite gaming displays also here is a Seuss's flavor oven videos BFG TV display what are they calling it yeah yeah BFG D or big format gaming display I don't think they have a model name for it yet but in a nutshell it's a 65 inch monitor effectively because it doesn't have a TV tuner but it does have a lot of features that are appealing to gamers so it uses a VA panel with a three thousand to 1 contrast ratio it runs out a hundred and twenty Hertz 4k resolution with HDR and it has a built-in Nvidia shield so you can play Android games you can stream Netflix Amazon Prime etc but most importantly they're boasting ultra-low latency so if you're a couch gamer that looks like it's going to be the solution sometime later this year the most visually interesting one though is probably this guy now on the surface this looks pretty boring it's just like a couple of rubber pieces at the top and bottom and then it's a strip of PMMA which is a plastic material similar to acrylic but what's special about it is the Fresnel style lenses that are cut into it so traditionally the way to achieve bending of light would be to have like a big bubble lens but instead this just has a bunch of slits cut into it all along kind of similar to the rings that you see inside of an HTC vive and what it does is if you put it on top of the bezels of Zeus's PG 2 v 8 q gaming monitor it makes them essentially disappear by stretching the edge of this screen and the edge of this one creating a bezel effect now it's not perfect you do lose a little bit of light so they are a little bit dimmer but I will say that if you're into sim racing the experience is significantly more immersive they're optimized for a hundred and thirty degree angles and they're working on getting it working with the PG 35 V Q and pricing is expected to be able they don't know but they're saying under $100 which like I would hope so but like that seems pretty reasonable if you're into surround gaming so there you go I took apart their demo anyway this video was brought to you guys by the symbiote demo car from group Renault we checked it out quite recently it's their level 4 autonomous car that I actually got to drive and I use the term drive with a serious asterisk on it because we managed to take it out on the freeway with my hands completely off the wheel the seat tilted back and then at its most extreme with a VR headset on that was actually simulating what it would be like if I was in a completely different environment whatsoever with the car sensors themselves tied into the VR headset so you guys are gonna want to check out that video to see the latest in autonomous driving innovations we're gonna have it linked in the video description so thanks for watching guys dislike or like check out well I mean you can't buy any of this stuff yet but check out subscribe so you don't miss any of our CES 2018 content
