this video from CES 2017 is brought to you by Squarespace now we've got them linked in the video description you know what they do so this is it monitor monitor evolution has ended because I don't really understand how it gets a whole lot better than what I have in front of me today this is the rog swift PG 27 uq and it would be a lot easier for me to come up with a list of crazy amazing features that it doesn't have so 4k resolution 3840 by 2160 HDR and i will get a little bit more into that later g-sync so that means if you're running an Nvidia graphics card you've got support for variable refresh rate technology and it runs at a hundred forty-four Hertz well how are they doing that what the what the crap is going on here so I so I pulled the plate off the back and it's running on a single cable so the only thing that I've seen is it's got on the spec sheet here it's got HDMI but come on realistically this is an HDMI 2.1 they just finalized the spec like yesterday something like that so it's DisplayPort 1.4 it's got two inputs and I assumed it would be using two of them but then I thought wait a minute I just saw the Dell 8k monitor that was running off of you guessed it - DisplayPort 1.3 so they've got this all closed in here see this my friends a soos won't tell me what's here but fortunately I have two hands I got two hands I know how this works okay well I can't tell exactly what they are but if I had to guess if I had to guess I would say that it's one of the only graphics cards on the market that has support for anything higher than DisplayPort 1.2 so is probably if I had to guess Quadro p6000 SLI nobody nobody's giving me any confirmation whatsoever okay I'm not going to stress about that too much the point is this thing's coming in sometime and by that time hopefully there will be a system that can run it all right more details though I said before HDR but the industry has kind of decided that HDR means anything about of SDR when it comes to a consumer-grade monitor asus not good enough for them as a gaming display but they're like ya know we're going to do it properly so we've got 384 zones of fully fully backlit array backlit LCD goodness which is allowing them to achieve 1000 nits peak brightness meaning that this display with HDR 10 support is not only a gaming display it is also potentially and I don't know much about the color space coverage what do we got here you guys talking about that looks like not a whole lot but it's quantum dot so I'm assuming we're doing better than Adobe RGB anyway there's nothing that would prevent this thing from being used for content creation what can't it do yeah the answer is pretty much nothing but just in case you don't like the gamer aesthetic well hey they've got the PA 30 to you this puppy looks like it's built on a pretty darn similar platform so the same 384 direct zone direct LED backlight 1000 nits peak brightness HDR support all that good stuff but on this one they are actually calling out 85 percent of rec 2020 coverage 99.5% of Adobe RGB 95% of dcpip 3 and 100% srgb support so this looks like it could be a candidate for us to move to an HDR workflow wink-wink sometime in the future assuming that you know they can get it produced sometime in the in the next little bit here so how much is one of these gonna cost you I don't know lots let's say $1,500 maybe more but they're super cool so thanks for checking out this video guys don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss any of our I was doing the light collet with the thumb and I was doing the subscribe with the mouth don't worry too much about it a huge that it's foul doubt it's been a long day shout out to Squarespace for allowing us to be here at CES 2017 Squarespace lets you build a beautiful website that looks great on this just as much as it looks great on this you got your story you got your logo designer you got all your easy-to-use tools and you don't have to take my word for it they've got a 30 day free trial check it out at the link in the video description that's squarespace.com slash i had it open before now I don't but now it is squarespace.com / CES and use offer code CES 17 to get 10% off your first purchase
