LG's New Gaming Monitors!

2019-01-13
my coverage of CES 2019 is brought to you by Corsair enter max deep cool and Coolermaster if you have a chance to go by the convention center when you're at CES you should always go by the big TV makers the big flatscreen makers because they're all making curved screens now and they're all 4k and LED and they usually have a massive wall of screens and it's usually just the type of experience that you can't really see anywhere else they had sort of a wave display going on that wrapped from the ceiling down the sides and then another wave or two on each side a bunch of different graphics playing over there the everyone was just standing and watching and taking video up so I wanted to share that with you real quick but LG had some other cool stuff at their booth and one of them that was really impossible to ignore is their rollable oh le d-- TV they're just calling this the Signature Series LED TV R and basically there's what looks like a surround speaker that would sit like up in your home theater system and then a little slot opens at the top and then out pops a TV and it's not like it's just flat dropping down and then coming back up it rolls up into the little speaker box it's extremely thin maybe looks like a quarter of an inch or a little bit more it kind of slats across the back so you can see that's where the rolling action happens and then there's some scissor supports that kind of expand and widen out to give you a completely flat o LED display it's only available in 65 inch and they say they're gonna start selling this in the second half of 2019 but no word on price it's probably going to be really expensive well it might be a little bit more up your alley would be LG's upcoming gaming monitors they're calling this the ultra gear gaming monitor series and they have a 27-inch standard 16 by 9 as well as a 37.5 inch ultra wide the 27-inch monitor is the 2 7 GL 8 50 G it's 27-inch and Q HD so 2560 by 1440 resolution with a 144 Hertz refresh rate and LG says you could overclock this to about 160 Hertz this is a nano IPS display for the actual panel so that means they're going to get really good color depth in fact 98% of the DCI p3 color gamut which is very impressive and I think the highest percentage I've seen for any of the gaming monitors I looked at at the show it's got Nvidia g-sync sphere lighting which is backlighting behind the monitor so it's going to illuminate the wall that's directly behind it and you can just have an RGB spectrum going on this or you can plug in via USB to your computer and you'll have to run a little bit of software to actually sync that up with what's displayed on the screen but providing that ambient lighting on the wall behind can provide a more immersive gaming experience and there's also an audio reactive lighting mode that you can turn on to finally for the stand I like to check the stand on the monitors that come out you have Heights tilt swivel and yes pivot as well so you can go portrait or landscape next is the ultra Gator 3/8 GL 950 G this is a thirty seven point five inch ultra wide q HD monitor it is curved just two bits which is nice for a gaming monitor the resolution is 38 40 by 1600 which is kind of an interesting resolution but it is ultra wide again you have a hundred and forty four Hertz refresh rate and LG says you could overclock this monitor to a hundred and seventy-five Hertz in their experience it is a nano IPS display just like the 27 inch so you get 98% coverage for the DCI p3 color gamut again Nvidia g-sync support that same sphere lighting 2.0 that you can control with the application or have it be I do really or just have it RGB and then this monitor does not yet have a response I'm actually neither monitor yet has a listed response time that is the final thing that LG is working on they're going to try to get it as quick as possible because that's very important for a gaming monitor but we're not expecting these until q3 of this year and we don't have any listed prices yet I'm hoping these are reasonably priced they're probably going to be a little bit more expensive since they're g-sync monitors but maybe the g-sync freesync thing will help even things out that just recently been announced also at CES 2019 but guys that is all the time I have for this video thank you for watching my coverage so far this year I just got a couple more videos left in the pipeline so stay tuned hit the thumbs up button subscribe if you're not already and we'll see you guys in the next one
