[@DougTheSnowMan]

Question for you or the comment section. I have a 6 core i7/gtx1060 laptop, I also have an MSI gaming x rx570 with no current home. With mobile parts being slower then their desktop counterparts, would I be better with a Ryzen 5 2600x and the RX570 or my i7/1060 laptop? Or would it be splitting hairs and be happy with what I have?

[@Trick-Framed]

Love the glasses. I have the same style. I was going for the Malcom X look. How about you Bryan?

[@JackCh91]

The speakers are really tempting me here, I have a BenQ 60Hz 1080p I love but it's about time I upgrade... and this is the one I am looking at because I like to play my consoles games with speakers and this would help tidy my desk up with no need for external speakers.

@Tech YES City Talking of monitors, well not really just related, Got a question: I recently updated my graphics card to a RTX 2060 super, (thanks for that got a good black Friday special) I run 3 monitors (24") 1 off the internal built in graphics of the MB/ the other 2 from that card, randomly one of the monitors just goes black for half a sec, then its back on like nothing ever happened my games dont crash its like someone turned the power off and on again but its quick and it can happen to either of the 2 monitors running on the 2060. I would blame the new card but this happened on my old nvidia 960 card as well so it is related to my Mb or O/S any clues on this? oh I still run Win 7 pro and it doesn't happen on the monitor thats plugged into the Intel graphics of my MB. MB =ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO LGA1151 Thanks for your videos and info I find them useful from a local here, in Runaway Bay.

Hi sir can i use freesync true the HDMI? :)

[@ThorsShadow]

From looking at the panel specs (innolux panel, 8-Bit at 144 Hz, 10-Bit at 120 Hz, FreeSync range from 40 to 144 Hz etc.) it looks like this thing is using the exact same panel as my Acer Nitro VG270U, which costs roughly 200 bucks less (at least here in Germany). Anyone here who can confirm or debunk this?

No it does not. Your vg0 uses an older innolux (or) auo panel.

Nice review as per usual. I would appreciate it, though, if you were to refer to monitors (or products in general) you talk about by their proper designation instead of repeatedly saying "the BenQ", "the Viewsonic" or "the LG panel". As someone who is into those things quite a bit, I can guess what exactly you mean, but I doubt that this will be the case for everyone.

How's your experience been? I've been considering this for a while now.

Corruptangel it’s a really nice monitor, great colors, very minimal input lag, the remote is very convenient n helps make the whole package feel premium, only major con Is the stand and lack of functionality (only tilts slightly). It’s still a little pricey for this range imo but has its advantages over similarly priced monitors like Asus 27qr or LG 850 or whatever those two r called

Also the speakers r pretty legit, was a little skeptical but they actually do sound good. HDR is okay nothing special but can make certain games look really good

Shadow Screen tear is always possible, if you’re card is pushing more frames than the monitor can refresh and draw. It’s why people may often use FPS limiters like RTSS or, cap the max limit within the in game settings. For example, Overwatch has an option to set the max frame rate.
