Is this the perfect panel for gaming AND content creation?

[@liammattox7683]

What's with all the shill comments? Maybe it's actually a good product? Get your head out of your ass

[@Narinjas]

Liam Mattox for me would be 770$ with shipping if only i would have an PC for it so the feautures would be worth it ... I wish i could also get an gtx 1080ti pc bundled with this for 1700$

[@jhsevs]

Maybe it's decent but my Iiyama CRT from 2001 does 200hz at 1080 and has excellent colors and contrast, not to mention no input lag, no motion blur, no backlight bleed, no dithreing, no banding, inky blacks. And best of all, i got it for free

[@jhsevs]

All monitor reviews should have a segment showing testufo.com and lagom.nl.

[@idontknowwhy0]

Why would you want a 1080ti for a Freesync monitor?

[@infernaldaedra]

jhsevs God level CRT??!

[@ThingsYouMightLike]

Ultrawide monitor reviews, and not uploaded in ultrawide format. Come on Jay. Put my 21:9 to good use!

[@rexxxar24]

Things You Might Like let's hope that KZbin will add that option soon.

[@LosAngeles234]

Rex Romero KZbin supports ultrawide. You just have to render your videos in that resolution. 3440x1440 for example

[@JubulburbWuldrd]

you and your ultrawide are worthless, deal with it

[@ipingwine2584]

The reason why it's not 21:9 because most people are watching this video BECAUSE they are about to buy one.

[@JubulburbWuldrd]

bs

[@DeusinMachina]

I appreciate the fact that Jay explained the difference between IPS, TN, response time, pros and cons etc.

[@st0nedpenguin]

That 2ms G2G is complete marketing. Also all these 35" VA panels have issues with slow pixel transitions.

[@TheMrSandMan11]

After receiving mine I can confirm ghosting is an issue at least, also some moderate blb

[@Malus1531]

G2G in general is just marketing, it's only half of the equation. Signal processing lag is the determining factor for how responsive a monitor feels, whereas G2G is mostly a measure of ghosting. The total lag (G2G + signal processing lag) on many IPS monitors are actually less than their TN counterparts.

[@TheMrSandMan11]

To be more accurate: my experience with a fps like rainbow six I'm doing a lot worse than a tn 144h 1ms but with other games like ds3 and slow paced strategy games it's been a blast

[@basshead.]

VA panels have usually 10-20ms. IPS panels are almost always under 10ms even IPS TV panels.

[@iamblackzack]

Thanks for making this video Jay! I bought this monitor a while ago and haven't been able to even see it due to it arriving while I went away from home for school. I was looking for a review from a reputable source who has seen many of the products that all these companies release and could make an honest comparison and this was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for all putting in the time for this video!

[@neomage2021]

I have a 35" WQHD VA panel. Different brand, same price and I bet the lcd is actually the same. Made by samsung. Love it

[@SpartanDusk]

NAME, A MAN NEEDS A NAME OF SAID PRODUCT

[@tylerweigand8875]

Probably not. This panel is from AUO IIRC, whereas the Samsung one is probably from... Samsung.

[@nicholasreif3443]

Still waiting for a 32" 16:9,1440p, 144hz gaming panel with HDR

[@thegalacticgoat1501]

With gsync too?

[@simon-b]

Not bothered about freesync or G-sync... ;)

[@thegalacticgoat1501]

;)

[@anonanon69]

HDR is only for 4K dumbass

[@anonanon69]

Joseph Spence No it can't you fucking idiot, the standard states it only applies to 4K panels

[@FancyaBevMate]

I have owned the Samsung CF971 for nearly a year (VA panel) and I'd never go back to IPS or TN brilliant gaming compromise. Great video mate

[@BReal-10EC]

It's nice to know in a pinch you could grab this metal panel and use it as a deadly weapon. Since it's curved, could you also boomerang it? Might be handy for hitting explosive barrels.

[@SpartanDusk]

Thats one expensive boomerang

[@rossmpostpro]

Hi Jay, good to see more content on ultrawide. I picked up a 29inch 2560x1080 more budget oriented LG last year and it's perfect for my professional editing needs and gaming. Couldn't go back to 16:9. It cost me about £250 and is IPS with Freesync and although it's about 5ms response time it's in no way ghosty or suffers from any lag that I can tell! Definitely recommended.

[@Liiineeepiiieeeceee]

Isn't VA notorious for insane ghosting? Why did you frame it in a way that makes it seem like IPS is actually the one suffering from it most? So is there no ghosting what so ever on this panel then?

[@TheNiteNinja19]

RuslPrime They were mostly playing games on it that are light. I'm not completely convinced unless they play something that rapidly alternates between light and dark, like city combat in any game.

[@Luredreier]

13:11 According to www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-vast-curved-gaming-monitor it's 100% sRGB *not* Adobe RGB. sRGB and Adobe RGB are two different standards. Adobe RGB is about 30% larger then sRGB meaning that you get a lot more colours (especially more blues and greens) then sRGB can show. Pretty much all modern monitors can do 100% sRGB but those generally just do 70% of AdobeRGB give or take... If this monitor had 100% Adobe RGB too as well as the other specifications mentioned and was colour accurate then by all means I'd love to buy it. As is however I think I'm going to wait for LG or someone to come out with a proper 100% Adobe RGB monitor. LGs calibration tends to be one of the best on the market for this kind of monitors. There's currently 3 monitors I'm considering gaming on. LG 32UD99-W Samsung C27HG70QQ And Samsung C49HG90DM although the later is 1080x3440 so too low resolution for my taste...

[@KjKase]

Just a warning, I bought this panel and the 2ms response time with G2G is in BEST CASE SCENARIOS ONLY... The ghosting is absolutely atrocious and VERY noticeable at times. It's still a good monitor for the price, but don't expect to get these great response times all the time. I find when I see a very saturated color or dark/black shade moving across the screen there's a good half inch smear/trail behind it.. You don't always see these very heavy saturated colors in games but when you do, it screams at you with this monitor. But like I said, it's still a good monitor for the price, but be aware, they are a little disingenuous with the whole 2ms g2g response time. You get what you pay for and there are some instances where you will notice this smearing/trailing of heavy colors but it's not all that often. I'm surprised Jay somehow didn't notice this, but maybe he really didn't see any instances of this in his tests..

[@zackarybrown2827]

Right as I’m beginning to make a monitor choice thank you jay. They needed a refresh

[@MrValgaav7]

100% sRGB NOT 100% AdobeRGB. This is an 8bit panel. 100% AdobeRGB would require a 10bit panel.

[@PeteKay]

well as a vega 64 owner 3440*1440 is still difficult. And since you can't buy that card for less than 1k, it's almost a moot point right now. For content creators though, these are nice. I like my acer for the same reasons.

[@RyTrapp0]

Jay, how about an 'idiots guide to contemporary monitor technology' or similar? Being into gaming of course and, as I get further and further into videography/content creation, I'm becoming more and more interested in learning about the differences in modern monitors, how these different technologies work, and what a lot of the specs are describing & what they represent. That would be extraordinarily helpful to myself and I'm sure many others, as monitors are talked about/reviewed quite a bit in this niche, but no one really goes in depth about this stuff, leaving me thinking "oh, those specs are awesome! ...I think..." That said, solid review as always, and a very impressive sounding product in spite of my rather shallow knowledge about the subject. I mean, DAMN that thing must be overbuilt what with how hard you were hitting it!

[@aviralrastogi]

[@MichaelSodapop]

Thank you for the VA VS IPS facts during the first ½. Now I know I don't need an IPS upgrade after all in the future & will focus more on VA.

[@Mr4D2U]

The LG 34UC79G is only an inch smaller. But has 144hz and every feature this one has. Plus it’s LG and notable brand as opposed to Massdrop unknown brand. What makes the LG even more attractive is you can find them brand new for $525-$550. I would sacrifice that inch for 144hz all day long. (That’s not what she said). What do you think Jay?

[@TylerCantRead]

Adam Ford that LG is 2560x1080. This is 3440x1440 which is a big difference at 34”/35”.

[@jeromevuarand3768]

An inch and 2 million pixels. That LG monitor is 2560x1080 while Jay's is 3440x1440. Your argument of LG vs. crappy chinese noname is still valid though.

[@TechnoBabble]

Massdrop IS well known, plus they don't actually manufacture anything the panel is made by Acer. On top of that the LG monitor you just suggested is only 2560x1080, not even comparable to the 3440x1440 resolution of this one.

[@boyflux]

They used to make a 29": www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-29UC97C -- and you could find them for like $300. I still picked it's bigger brother, and I don't actually mind the pixel density unless I bury my nose in it.

[@DenisDamulira23]

they do have a 29" 2560x1080p which is what i use with excellent results with a GTX1060

[@greygoose3936]

This will be the best upgrade to my desk setup

[@LycanWitch]

Why bother with this mass drop panel when Samsung chg70 is prob the best monitor in that price range and is curved 144hz 1ms response 1440p and is a qled va panel with hdr support and freesync 2. Much better specs than this massdrop panel

[@GOGETAdu54]

21:9

[@Voltaic314]

100% agree it's way better. the only reason to choose this panel is really just the extra view space / aspect ratio.

[@LycanWitch]

The issue with it being 21:9 at only 34/35" is that it's equivalent to the height of a 27" monitor. Just a stretched out 27". While the 32" Samsung is taller.. So while a 21:9 monitor may be wider by 4 inches, it feels squished if you ever used a 16:9 32" or higher screen which usually have a height difference of approximately 2+ inches. Here's some panel sizes: 16:9 32" Panel: 17 x 29 21:9 35" Panel: 15 x 33 Plus the usual issues you hear with 21:9 such as all youtube and most video content online being 16:9 means black borders on the edges of your screen is less acceptable than letter box borders with the bit of 21:9 content you watch.

[@shady8099]

Raven you obviously have never had an ultra wide if you think its just a stretched out 16:9

[@sylvelk]

Because Samsung did not offer to sponsor this video ...

[@TheCgOrion]

That is a really nice monitor! I love how it doesn't look like a bad sci fi movie. TV's are becoming viable now for PC gaming as well. We have a 43" and a 55" with VA panels in our house with PC's connected and they're great. As long as you aren't putting people at extreme angles, which we're not. They're both under one frame of response @ 60hz. Both do 4K 60 fps and 4:4:4 chroma. They both calibrate nicely. You can tell the GPU to do the scaling, and set custom resolutions between 1080p and 2160p (1440p, 1800p and other divisible by 16 resolutions). If you set closer than you should, you can set 21x9 resolutions, and suddenly they're large ultrawides. Most TV's can't do all of these things correctly, but they're out there if you do your research. The best TV's aren't the best at gaming. It's actually in the budget TV's you'll find gaming gems.

[@AppleBS11]

Did the scren flicked when he hit it?

[@Odd_Redneck]

Apple BS light bounching off

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

VA panels are actually quite common. Lots of TVs use VA panels. Samsungs "gaming" and mid tier monitors use VA. Although the contrast ratio is higher, you do lose contrast when viewing at an angle. Its not really a huge issue because you'd really have to pixel peep. And it also does get brighter (to my eyes anyways).

[@mrhavoc2415]

Is there even an AMD card out that can push major titles to 100fps at that resolution on an ultrawide?

[@eyb0ss]

MrHavoc24 Vega 56/64, but good luck finding or buying one.

[@anonanon69]

MrHavoc24 Nope.

[@actuallywill]

Vega, but you won't find one at MSRP, or even close to it. I wouldn't buy a GPU right now. 4 days after i got my 1070 ti strix the card literally doubled in price.

[@SpartanDusk]

Same, I bought mine like the day before it got stupidly overpriced lol

[@Nuc1earLemons]

Got a Vega 64 paired with this monitor. Runs everything like a dream

[@CSharkBytes]

I have a Samsung 34" 3440X1440P monitor that is VA panel and have had it since the end of 2016. I love it. VA is good in a lot of ways. I chose it over IPS because IPS had way too much Blacklight bleed. I have it set up with my iDisplay from XRite so it is color perfect. I calibrate it every 3 months. I have several ICCs for different lighting. Still love it. Would buy another VA panel without question. But maybe your issues are because of the manufacturer. I would like one with G-sync.

[@dreadahead88]

FFS Jay why is nobody talking about the dell AW3418DW ?!?!?! It's THE ULTIMATE PANEL ^^ 1200€ for 3440x1440 120Hz G-sync (be real the high end dudes for gaming have gtx cards)

[@forza1sra]

dreadahead88 I know, nobody will talk about this panel for some reason even though it is better in many ways. It can even be found for 999.

[@dreadahead88]

I own it n it s a beast every box ticked 1440p gsync 120hz great color great great angles ...

[@da_knug]

3:16 oh man a VA panel 100% Adobe RGB, and 100MHz refresh rate, wow this must be the first panel with such a massive refresh rate. This is almost unimaginable, 100 000 000 hertz

[@ORGxOVERLORD]

Problems with this monitor: 1. many people reporting problems with the stand and the monitor not adjusting easily. They answer by saying just push on it and it will move more. 2. 600 dollars for freesync monitor when most people use Nvidia. 3. IT DOESN'T SHIP UNTIL JUNE 29th WTF. If I spend 600 dollars on a monitor, I expect less than a week of shipping.

[@mrspecs4430]

Massdrop doesn't place the order to the actual manufacturer until the "Drop" is completed, which is in 2 days from now.

[@GBMatthew07]

I wouldn't buy any panel without G-Sync now it makes such a difference.

[@CodyMetal]

VA panel = ghosting, you can't change that. 100hz is too slow for competitive gaming. Honestly just get a 1440p 144hz Asus mg279q or the 165hz pg279q

[@garrettdeangelis2443]

CodyMetal a 21:9 panel isn't ever considered for competitive gaming, especially not one at 3440x1440 so 100hz is perfectly fine especially at this price

[@63Jax]

competitive gaming??? how many of us play competitive, 1%? most of us don't have time to play competitive and game just for relaxation...

[@CodyMetal]

63Jax even for relaxation, I don't want a 100hz slideshow. Fluidity of 144hz+ is relaxing and easy on the eyes even in the desktop. Even the Alienware 34" 120hz 3440x1440 ahva panel felt like a slideshow for me in rainbow six. Using a GTX 1080ti + 8700k on low settings. I paid $1k and will be returning for massive backlight bleeding. And don't get me started on some games just fucking up ultrawide support like overwatch cropping and also pubg zoom. I'll wait for the 200hz+ ultrawides, but right now the best option is a 1440p 16:9 ahva 144hz+.

[@63Jax]

100hz slideshow???? i just finished The Evil Within 2 locked in 30fps mode, i like the cinematic feel, and all other games i play with vsync on 60hz. i am not bothered at all...it's a matter of tastes i guess :)

[@CodyMetal]

63Jax I won't play a game capped at 60fps period. My friends told me to play Gigantic and I just told them to fuck off with their slideshow garbage. You can actually find my post on their subreddit shitting on them for the cap and the hundreds of other people who did too. 30hz? That is literally unplayable. I remember when I was 13 years old and played with a shitty Dell Inspiron on tf2 trying to get at least 60fps on a crappy Dell 60hz TN panel. I'll never go fucking back to those dark ages, just thinking about that makes my eyes bleed.

[@DerJoshbert]

Nice build materials, good construction except the springs. Overall nice looking panel and a nice refresh rate. I'm not into ultra wides, but this monitor monitor seems to be a really good deal.

[@Berserkir79]

And im just sitting here like waiting on the new 1440p ultrawide 200hz monitor from Asus.... RELEASE IT ALLREADY!

[@PatrikTothMaster]

It doesnt even have to be 200 Hz just 1440p and at least 140 Hz and more than 32"... C'mon it cant be too much to be asked for.

[@AngryChineseWoman]

Berserkir 79 Same... Or the one by Acer with the same specs... I thought they were meant to be released in Q1 2018...

[@Berserkir79]

Yeah, Q1 was the plan, but it's been pushed back untill whenever. 144hz would be more than enough though, specially on a IPS! But for now, i'll enjoy my PG279Q a bit longer.

[@basshead.]

Why? The human eye can't see more than 90fps and that's why VR headsets are 90hz. 100hz+ is a marketing scam.

[@Malus1531]

Berserkir 79 PG279Q is great man. I have the MG279Q, has everything I wanted (IPS 1440p 144Hz) except the Gsync. I can afford a new monitor now, but it seems like a waste to spend $800 on the PG279Q just for Gsync. Is there anything better worth upgrading to?

[@darbrett1106]

When you get free shipping in the US it looks like it's worth it, but for the rest of us for roughly the same amount we could buy a similar panel from one of the bigger brands like Asus or Samsung with almost identical specs for roughly the same amount - with the added bonus of having a local retailer to return it to if there's something wrong with it.

[@Darkman0198]

Damn back at it again with that 21:9 mustard race content

[@TehObLiVioUs]

because consoles can't ketchup!

[@aohige]

I really like the Vast, and have no regrets with mine. But I do get a little worried how hot the center bottom gets. It gets really hot. Normally I don't mind the back of a monitor getting hot, but this one is at the bottom of the bezel. I can't comment on the quality of the stand though, I have it mounted to my wall.

[@dziis6s]

too positive. cant trust a too positive review.

[@wiunderstand]

Yeah, he should have been more critical on the stand height adjust, even if it is likely just his. Other than that though, I would say considering its price, you can't really be too negative

[@qwerty877810]

I have the monitor and in my experience so far the stand has been amazing.

[@dhruvb38]

Qwerty Reyes how's the build quality? I've heard some stories about the hinge getting stuck

[@qwerty877810]

Dhruv B I haven’t had any issues I don’t regularly move it but in my experience there hasn’t been any issues with build quality. I also really like the fact that it doesn’t feel like a harsh aesthetic like some other similar monitors.

[@CallOfPizzo]

Definitely he should have been more clear that this is sponsored, that is not a review

[@aionskullss]

I saw 3 monitors that I came across that had similar specs and I believe they were all va panels also at similar prices ranging from $529 - $599. These are the monitors. Viotek GN34C - 100hz - 4ms...Viotek GN32LD - 144hz - 3ms...& the Pixio PX347c Prime - 100hz - 8ms...I would like to see a comparison between these and the one in your video to find out which one is the best bang for the buck.

[@thegalacticgoat1501]

Hey Jay!

[@monkeyplayer1]

Dude a 100,000,000. hz!?!?!? Haha jay and his mistakes

[@anorax001]

It uses an AU Optronics panel (same as my 2K g-sync Asus ROG VA display) so that is a big positive. VA panels are very good and definitely just as good quality as an IPS panel.

[@Joseph-ts5yz]

If it's so perfect you should send it my way for more testing just to be sure. Lol Nice Vid.

[@enekoprins]

I just bought a Dell AW3418DW that is twice as expensive!! This one made me feel a bit like an idiot, until I saw it won't even ship until June 29, 2018. This looks like a pre-order to me. Still, great value, without a doubt.

[@TheBrinkofDestruction]

ultrawide AND curved? JAJAHAAXAX no

[@natewxlfe]

I have this monitor. The comments saying this review is too positive or accusing Jay of being a shill are absolutely wrong. This monitor is fantastic. I don't have any issues with the stand maintaining its height. However, in my experience, the light bleed is worse than mentioned in the review, possibly just because my model is worse about that. It's still not terrible, and is only noticeable when you're looking at a solid, dark color. Even despite this, the monitor is amazing. I would absolutely recommend it.

[@TarekAlShawwa]

Curved displays are a useless gimmick I want a flat ultrawide

[@joshspinney]

Take a look at the new Nano IPS from LG, it's a flat 4k ultrawide (they label it as 5k, not really true). its expensive however, and not out yet.

[@TheNiteNinja19]

I have a LG 34UM88C-P I got for about $500, it overclocked to 75hz (that's usually a safe overclock for a IPS panel). Been happy with it, and yes, it's flat.

[@zamblot7565]

Tarek Al Shawwa I disagree with that statement. I understand with a TV where the viewing angles are just awkward if your not alone and own one + your far away but I have a curved UW and ive used flat screen ones and it makes a nice difference. Imo it's more of something that won't make much of a difference but makes a nice enough one for it to be noticable

[@gunndygaming]

Curved screens are a gimmick for TVs (unless you watch TV from only 5 feet from the screen). For monitors, you sit MUCH closer to the screen usually and the curved screen actually has an effect. If you measure directly out 90 degrees from the top corners of the screen....as long as you sit inside where those lines cross....then Curved screens are great. If you are outside of that crosshair, then the purpose of the curve goes away.

[@AvatarPuls]

I've owned both a flat ultrawide and a curved ultrawide. With the monitors as wide as they are, on a flat panel, the left and right side are noticeably farther away, and actually look weird, like they are curving away from you. However, a curved screen with the proper radius will compensate for this, keeping all points of the screen at the same distance, and it actually feels like the screen is flat, instead of curving backwards. I don't like curved TVs, but I would never get a flat ultrawide monitor again, curved are much better.

[@TheGyari7]

[@dot_frost]

The thing with freesync is that it is cheaper (if not free) to implement. Then gsync is very expensive since it needs a chip inside the monitor

[@Kriszz91]

I have a Z35P with similar specs. If anyone hesitating on buying ultrawide I recommend to try it out in a shop if it's possible, otherwise I think it's magical.

[@damiensalstar]

That is a beautiful panel for that price range

[@abekhan6196]

That panel wanted to prove you wrong so bad by staying up lmao

[@Chillsabre]

You should take a look at the Dell U2718Q. The UP2718Q was one of the best content creation 4k monitors in terms of color accuracy and they cut it down a bit to the U2718Q. For a 4K panel, I tested it with Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Division, Dragon Age Inquisition and more fast paced games like Diablo 3 and Path of Exile and the color accuracy is so vibrant for a fraction of the price of the UP2718Q and it supports HDR for benefiting of the games that support it like Mass Effect Andromeda which looks pretty awesome with HDR. I was pleasantly suprised when I got mine a few months ago and I have no ghosting or artifacts when I play games. Well worth it for the price.

It does NOT support and true HDR standard, it's a basically software trickery. And while it can look better in things like games it is not true to the original content. That panel is nowhere near the brightness required to be certified for an HDR standard.

[@jeffonabigon6183]

Very nice monitor height adjust does not enhance any thing but the level it can be viewed. Very minor discrepancy for the price considering the over all quality... the stability and strength of the bezel is more than enough to sway us into buying! Great product. Great review Jay!

[@sorenvitarelli]

You should Take a look at the Samsung CF791. It’s pretty much the same except it has quantum dot so you get less blue light and “better colors” (I haven’t noticed if it’s better than a standard VA).

[@RadioactiveLobster]

VA panels can have ghosting/smearing issues as well. Particularly with darker color switching to lighter.

[@flavio-machado]

I would like to buy this but since I live in Brazil there would be no Warranty... soo its kinda difficult to throw 600$ bucks on this.

[@TheJorith]

That beating was damn impressive for build quality, and fun!

[@BetterThanVegas]

Years ago I came across a TV or Monitor that listed its contrast at "Mega Infinity" contrast ratio.

[@LaneHouse]

I've been very happy with 27" for me, I currently have one, but will be adding 2 more. Plus I'm kind of on that G-Sync band wagon. But this seems like such a great panel and I keep suggesting it for my wife but she also thinks she'd prefer 27".

[@Team974]

144hz, gsync. 1ms. Those are my must haves.

[@Slavolko]

This looks really nice. I just wonder if missing out on HDR is too much, idk.

[@TerrySaberhagenII]

This looks exactly like the Samsung S29E790C that I use as a secondary office display but in 35". Definitely a good price for the size.

[@charlessansom9805]

Viewers, stop hating jay for highlighting a good monitor at a good price. All panels come out of a few different panels but just with different stands and badge. So thank you Jay for the video, sadly price drop isn't in the UK.

[@steampunkskunk3638]

Please more monitor reviews. Tech channels rarely do them

[@DoctorX17]

I have a feeling there might be an adjustment for the height spring that's in a really awkward place, or you have to partially disassemble the arm assembly to get to it...

[@Hollow_Malkavian]

hell, i love ur content Jayz, awesome work as always =) Greetings from germany! keep going!

[@acquinn86]

I wish G-Sync panels were competitively priced! This thing is a great deal.

[@godyamit]

When he said "I got kids" I though he was gonna say since he can't beat them he'll beat the monitor instead 🤣

[@AceStrife]

What about off center contrast shift and black crush? Notorious VA issues. And what about the transitions to black, are they smooth or do they look like there's an oil spill with the fading color? This is different from banding. Problems like this seem to just get ignored from most monitor reviews.. makes to hard to actually find a good monitor.

[@jimdaniel7083]

I would love to snag one of these but I would like to know what the numbers are for input latency. Input latency should be tested and listed in monitor specs by all manufacturers. To me, input latency is easily in the top 3 of biggest buying points for any monitor used for gaming.

[@mutemiz]

I watched this for the monitor slaping!

[@bloviating]

The Acer XZ271u looks like a solid monitor.

[@marble_wraith]

The bigger question is, do you really need IPS in a setting like that? On a laptop i could totally understand because you're mobile and sometimes you may need to be in non-ideal viewing conditions. But in typical office setting, where you can control your position (relative to the screen), the screens position relative to you (vesa mount) and ambient lighting? What is the benefit of IPS? Or put another way, is it possible for a TN panel to achieve the same amount of color accuracy?

[@blackdeath4]

Hi great show👍, does it come in 40” plus screen?.

[@edgeofsins]

I want one of these so bad, but I am waiting on either a 144Hz version, an actual 4K pixel density, or both together. I'm also quite curious about the super ultra wides as well, where it's basically two 16:9's in one panel(32:9), rather than 21:9. I hope AMD comes out with higher end GPU's so I can finally take advantage of Freesync found in most monitors these days.

[@dreadlock17]

Shoutout for Insurgency!!! Such a great game!!!

[@WhiteSkyMage]

IPS is still the BEST! I'm running Acer XR382CQK..... I bought it for CHF1390. WORTH IT!

[@sidneyhodges3365]

Awesome looks great !! 599 is not bad at all I just might get this TY Jay

[@laddn17]

Samsung ue510 28 in is 349 on samsung. Freesync 1ms response, 60hz on displayport and on hdmi2.0. I payed 200 for a referb like 2 years ago or something when the price was higher. Id go new for 349 now though since they have came down a bit in cost

[@giggyolly]

4:07 Who else thought Jay was going to profess to beating his kids haha

[@phiphedude7684]

3:14 if a monitor was 100 Mhz would it not need a cooler? Ik he meant Hz but im sure he said Mhz

[@BReal-10EC]

The fade on the edges would be way more natural feeling than light bleed imo. I've always wondered if there was a way to have the center area HD but then the sides a much lower resolution since mainly peripheral vision (which is not HD in our brains). Or maybe this was possible with a 3 monitor setup?

[@TheCgOrion]

Jay, are you sure your cabling isn't pulling the panel back down? You might need to provide a little extra cable to it. I see it does look a little light.

[@rbaleksandar]

The incorrect vertical adjustment of the position of the screen is a downside for me. If you sit for 8-10 hours a day working on this thing and you have to a)adjust your chair's height and/or b)place X number of books under the monitor to make it the right height for your eyesight (eyes should be looking at the top border of the screen) it's a pain. I've dealt with such an issue and while at first it might not be a problem, it becomes one over time and rather fast.

[@MFM_Gaming]

I love the specs. But what are the microscopic differences that makes the 3 different displays.... Different?

[@BrotherMichigan]

I noticed this monitor as I was picking up a new DSLR from Massdrop the other week. Now I just wish I had the money left over to pick one up!
