hello this is Sam with The Verge and I am playing in videos of big format gaming display we have destiny to running right here and it is pretty great so what is the big format gaming display or BFG d as in video calls it well it's a new hardware platform and aims to bring the TV style big screen experience to TC gaming a few hardware makers are baking them there's gonna be one from HP asa asus and they're all using the same panel they're all basically the same thing they're all 65 inch 4k displays that support HDR and they all have Android TV built in via Nvidia shield platform but the BFGS are not TVs they are PC monitors and that allows you to do some things that you can't really do with the TV even if you hook up your PC to it today so the first thing is it runs at 120 Hertz which is you know a faster frame rate than what you would get out of most TVs or monitors but more importantly it works with g-sync which is invidious technology that allows more smooth and natural and lifelike frame rates it's a little difficult to explain if you haven't seen it in person but basically what it does is it syncs the frame rate of the display with the output of your GPU so even in complicated scenes and high pitched fast-paced action you're you're getting smooth gameplay note on frames no stuttering it's just a really natural lifelike experience that you can't get from playing a game on a TV today but even though the BFG DS arnott tvs they'll still work pretty great for watching Netflix and so on they have a built-in Nvidia shield which is one of the best TV streaming boxes out there it has Android TV all the apps that go with that you can burn Nvidia's GeForce now gaming platform you can run Android TV games that you know and it'll think the framerate in the same way that it with PC games and yeah everything runs in 4k HDR as you would expect we saw an episode of the Grand Tour in on Amazon's platform and there are different frame rates in each episode and it syncs up plays everything negatively everything that's great so although you're not going to be watching you know broadcast TV on this thing unless you buy an external area it's still gonna be a pretty good option for watching movies and so on if you decide to put it in your living room so yeah keep it like from the first this week we have a big team on the ground here at CES in Las Vegas we're gonna have a bunch more gaming news coming up on tech news in general so subscribe to our YouTube channel check us out on the verge comm and any social media network known to mankind yeah it's gonna be fun
