thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video from CES 2017 build your online store or website at the link in the video description um what what what is it it's like that it's like I got this guy watching me while I try and make my video here it's weirding me out but that's okay because nothing can ruin my mood right now okay monitors used to be 60 Hertz and then we got overclocking to like 75 85 then we got 120 Hertz night and day difference then a couple incremental improvements 144 165 now it's game changing again and by game I mean gaming ah yes this is the rog swift PG 258 q the first 240 hertz 24 and a half inch gaming monitor that I have had the pleasure of laying my eyes on and holy cow just sitting down and knocking things over and moving the mouse it is immediately noticeable and it's not like necessarily some other high refresh rate monitors out there because even without ultra-low motion blur enabled this thing is actually doing pretty darn well in terms of not leaving motion trails behind the cursor now obviously I don't have it in the lab yet but I've been informed we will be getting one very soon but my initial impression is this is freaking impressive so it features Nvidia g-sync technology you've got to DisplayPort in or HDMI in whichever you prefer and it's got a built-in USB 3 hub in terms of the styling it's what has become kind of the ROG way so you've got a nice slim bezel a couple kind of gamer II accents but the most sort of let's say gaudy how you say of which the underglow ROG logo thing you can turn that off in the menu now those of you who are wondering it does support g-sync but the unanimous opinion from the Asus guys in the room is that the real story here is not necessarily g-sync but rather the fact that now if you turn g-sync off you can run ultra-low motion blur all the way up to the full 240 Hertz which is going to give you like super sharp fast moving images at an extremely high refresh rate which is going to be critical for competitive gamers or filthy casuals like me who just like having the best possible experience even though they suck it's got the full range of adjustments and as we're making all these adjustments to the stand you'll probably notice yes this is in fact a TN panel but I got to tell you guys outside of looking at it from the bottom where it really it does look awful side to side viewing angles very good and colors again just subjectively I'm just at a show looking pretty good here I am super excited about this one that is to say as long as I can afford the approximately $500 price tag I never said the resolution okay hold on we think for a second did I miss anything else critical you know what let's just let's just do a totally awkward shot here um it's a 1080p monitor I forgot to mention the resolution anyway thanks for checking out our video you guys don't forget to get subscribed to Linus tech tip so you don't miss any of our CES coverage and a huge shout out to Squarespace I believe there are talking points in my pocket but come on realistically do I not know how to pitch you guys Squarespace Squarespace is the place to go if you want to build a beautiful website that works great across a wide variety of devices whether you want to view them at 60 Hertz on the phone in your pocket or at 240 freaking Hertz on the monitor at your desktop Squarespace has built-in commerce and it is so easy to use that even I can make changes to our Squarespace website which is quite an achievement so check it out we've got it at the link in the video description you can get a free trial and you can save I believe it's ten percent hot dang I didn't know everything off the top of my head but I believe it's ten percent by using our link down there
