2012-08-30
hey what's up everybody welcome back techo tomorrow I'm Eric Faris we have a very very special guest here today we have JJ from a Zeus and we're going to feature one of their latest monitors that's right this is their 144 Hertz 27-inch monitor and I know that's very very hard to actually show you guys a lot of stuff through a YouTube video but we're going to probably show you some features that you didn't know that you could take advantage of with having those great refresh rates so I'm going to have the floor to JJ and he's going to show you this great view monitor ok guys like doc was talking about here we've got our brand new VG 2 7 8 monitor and one of the biggest things we've actually found out with our previous generation 3d vision monitors is that some users aren't actually enabling the higher refresh rate because it's not automatically enabled so two things but before we actually show you how to do this on the desktop is one you want to make sure that of course you have a graphics card that supports this so that's going to be GTX 460 above and make sure you get the latest version of the GeForce driver from there we're just going to go ahead and right click on the desktop and you have two options either screen resolution or Nvidia control panel we're going to go through screen resolution once you're there you just need to go ahead and click on the Advanced Settings tab and from there head over to the monitor tab once you get over to the monitor tab you're going to see that you have an option says screen refresh rate okay and right now we're at 60 Hertz and so all we need to do is go ahead and select 120 Hertz if maybe you're using a one-hour first or second generation 3d vision panels if you have this one actually the VG 2 7 8 then you can go ahead and select the 140 40 Hertz it'll take a moment to go ahead and send over that information and from there now we're set it we've set it to 144 Hertz and at that point now we're go ahead and take advantage of the actual faster refresh rate so that allow us to have a more faster responsive in fluid 2d desktop as well of course is a more fluid and responsive 3d desktop in game and with that guys if you want to check out more information regarding the specifications and the features this modern make sure I click here
