Is This the Ultimate Gaming Monitor? #Helpful Post

hey guys Boston this might be the

ultimate gaming monitor big show that's

the LG for sponsoring this video so

we're actually doing something really

cool together soon but I'll talk about

that later so because I've been watching

the channel for a while you know I do a

lot of gaming PC videos but I don't do

is cover a lot of monitors which is

where this comes in the LG 34 you see 89

G because product name now comes the fun

part of trying to unbox a monitor that's

as big as I am you know what I'm

actually let's just tear it open that

sounds like a way better idea just

really drop the monitors trying to be

careful with it you actually this is a

lot lighter than I thought it was going

to be I'll put a lot of trust in this

not fall and break right now this isn't

right at all what am I do I just saw my

life flash before my eyes

I probably screw it in with these screws

on the bottom of this probably a good

idea I'm gonna put a Linus on that one

so with one disaster averted we have the

display itself now this is going to be a

34 inch display especially one of the

best reasons why I like to use ultra

wide monitors for gaming with such a big

panel especially when it's curved like

this one it does really give you a nice

immersive experience so let's just show

forts real quick in the roll call hmm

how bad was it ah all right cool um

reports around back we have a display

ports HDMI as well as two USB 3.0 which

can be used at the hub this guy is

rocking a 34 inch IPS display with the

resolution of 2560 by 1080

now that resolution isn't too crazy what

you're getting here is some seriously

high refresh rate out of the box it's

running in 144 Hertz

however you can actually over pocket

u-166 here

now that combined with g-sync support

means that this is going to be a really

smooth experience but if you're running

AMD graphics there's also going to be a

free sync version of this monitor which

happens to also be a fair bit cheaper

the panel supports 99% of the sRGB color

space which makes it suitable for stuff

like photo and video editing however for

me the resolution is going to be a

little bit low for this it is really

meant as a gaming monitor before we get

started we might as well overclock the

monitor because it literally takes like

10 seconds all you do is reach

underneath pull up the menu and it's all

LG monitors make this pretty simple with

a little nub on the bottom and when you

do is turn the overclock LT modernise

reboot and then it should be good then

all you do is go into the Nvidia control

panel make sure g-sync is enabled and

select your refresh rate and a crispy

166 hurt so first you have dirt for MLE

is this a really fun game but I think

one of the nice things about it is that

with this cockpit view it really does

make the ultra wide look nice so on

Ultra settings here we're getting

anywhere between like 90 to 100 frames

per second right now and with G think it

looks super super smooth well the

resolution of the display is a little

bit low it is difficult to run even 2560

by 1080 and a super high frame rate so

right now with a core i7 and a gtx 980ti

I'm slowly getting about 90 frames per

second personally for me I prefer a

smoother frame rate with slightly lower

graphics versus something that might

look a little bit better there's not

going to run anywhere near as smoothly

HD have a game that can definitely take

advantage of a high frame rate yes go

now here with everything cranked up

we're getting between 2 to 300 frames

per second which is definitely enough to

fully keep this monitor running at 166

Hertz and yeah it looks pretty good now

I in by no means any good at csgo but

even I can tell how much of a difference

it makes having such a high refresh rate

now I know a lot of people like to play

this game at a super high frame rate

even though the monitor can't handle it

to keep input latency down but

especially when you

with 166 Hertz it looks nice although

it's probably not enough to keep me from

getting killed or maybe this now there

are some special features with the

monitor and one of them is black

stabilizer so once you go into the

options and turn this on so same in the

dark area and I can't quite see someone

hiding in the shadows

especially what this is doing is it's

bringing up all the contrast so it's

making it a lot easier to see anyone

who's hiding but it still doesn't affect

the rest of the image if you want to get

a little sneaky you can also enable a

crosshair in the monitor so if you say

want to do that and not pull up your

scope it makes that a little bit easier

oh oh you see that ha if you guys want a

chance to potentially win not only one

of these monitors but also a whole lot

more oh gee is doing their third ultra

wide festival and this year Linus and I

are going to be hosting it for 2017 it's

all focused around this ultrawide

monitor but the grand prize is going to

get a gaming set of worth $10,000 to

enter submitted videos that's a 100

point for seconds or less explaining why

you need the new ultra wide display now

in the video make sure to now include

your face but also your current gaming

PC's then just post your video on

YouTube Facebook or Instagram using

these hashtag and then submitted at the

link in the description 50 finalists

chance to come up to Canada hang out

with Linus and I and potentially win

that giant set up the contest will be

running from August 14th to 23rd so good

luck so what do you guys think about the
