sometimes when i play a game,the screen goes dark and i see my reflection in the monitor,and wonder what i'm doing with my life.

LMAO someone disliked 30 seconds after the vid was uploaded... probably because your terrible "sick of ultrawides" joke

Linus Tech Tips Cheap: $699 My cheap: $6.99

"Cheap" "$700" Me: Closes tab

>$700 >"Cheap" Pick one.

This monitor has freesync,lets use an Nvidia card with it!

9:18 I find his lack of mouse sensitivity disturbing.

lol, i liked this video @0:15 seconds in due to that face you made when you said "zotac", got me cracking up man. look forward to the rest of it!

I like how a cheap Korean monitor comes with a display port cable but BenQ gives you a Dvi cable.

Wait. It has Freesync but you used a Nvidia GPU to test!?!?

He says it's cheap I thought he meant 100 dollar cheap

09:20 that dpi setting just unleashed my ocd

Every time I click on a Linus video, I remember i'm poor

>compains about tearing >has Freesync >doesn't use it >libtard

I just love how you hammer in the back mount to the monitor... definitely has a good screen if everything still works after those 2-3 smacks. LOL

I love how he just drags it along to the table

09:20 Woah Edzel, slow down with your mouse DPI

"CHEAP" *Clicks link* Looks at price... *Deleted system32*

I appreciate the good vibes that Linus is sending out in this video

I'm currently using this panel at 100Hz with a 1080ti. Other than numerous developers not supporting the reso (mistake on their part) I have nothing but good things to say about it. The newer models have a matte silver finish on the stand btw.

9:27 When you need to move your mouse 20km to make a 180 turn

9:25 good lord that sensitivity

Was waiting for you to drop the monitor

I have an old X-star 2560x1440 IPS 27" that has been rock solid for me. It is running at 70 Hz. Once you try this resolution you will see you don't really need 4k. IPS is really great too I prefer the contrast and viewing angles vs a faster screen.

was anyone else bothered by the csgo sensitivity?

I love that the instructions come in an ultrawide format.

for sure gonna get this soon

3:29 my heart literary stopped when he did that

wtf is that dpi on csgo though lmao.

The dude at the end plays with like a 0 dpi

Lame opener joke, but cool video! Man, there are so many tools used to test a monitor. Linus, would you do a tutorial video on how to test a monitor, what to look for, how to test (with juicy/lucrative affiliate links of the products/software/hardware you use to test the panels) and all that? Maybe link me to one if you already have that! :) Thanks for the great videos!

I want tons more videos like this one.

didn't he say it was a freesync monitor.... so why review it on an nvidia card?

Linus has them dad jokes down to a t.

I love how he said 128 gigs of ram like its was absolutely nothing.

WHOAH!!! I coincidentally no jokes had my screen freeze at 0:10 for 5 seconds (and thought it was part of the video because it looked so intentional) while having a really intense GPU benchmarking test and waiting for the results lol

9:14 bro whats your mouse sensitivity? looks like you're wiping the table off when you turn in CS lol

I'm starting to take the complaints about Linus being biased against AMD seriously. The WAN show completely ignored the massive topic of the update until the very end, at which point it was half arsed and literally after the outro. Then in this video, he says "You don't get the tearing resistance as with GSync" - but 2 seconds ago he mentioned it has FreeSync, which does (on AMD cards)? Either there's an odd lack of research going in to his videos recently or there is something a little odd going on.

damn it, wish i'd seen the Ting link three days ago when I activated a sim card for my Arduino project

That's a nice looking monitor love the design

Free sync better be included.. It's free... Linus the dad joke. 😝

Monitors are sooo expensive when it's more than 1080p

Linus, you were so funny in this Video! I usually don't like laughing at work but I couldn't help it watching this.

Thanks for the goosebumps from that foam.

$699 cheap? did they change the meaning of the word cheap?

Sorry Linus, but you just lost you street cred for reviewing a free sync monitor with only a nVidia GPU :P

Title:cheap monitor Actual price on ebay:700 bucks Mate.

$700 = cheap logic

"You're giving up the tearing resistence of G-Sync" but it has FreeSync???

9:20 did he play with his own settings ? i was just wondering because the sensetivity he was playing at looked painfully slow xD

That white dot when he unboxed the monitor bugged the crap outta me

Nice, give alot to you for your fun video.. Liked it!

>AMD FreeSync monitor >Uses NoVideo GPU lol

so he thinks 800 dollars is cheap not everyone has a few hundred bucks laying around

Linus, you're delightfully playful in this episode. Never lose that!

3:08 dude.... my heart stopped for a moment there..

#SponsoredByNvidia Seriously this needs to be stopped, yesterday I had to point out in the Wan Show how this guy constantly downplays or ignores any AMD related news/drivers/products etc. Now he goes and pairs a *FREESYNC MONITOR* with a *Nvidia* GPU. I mean seriously how much of a blatant shill can one person be?

The fuck man, it's freesync, not gsync, why would you use an nvidia gpu?

Korean monitors are great. I have a 40 something inch 4k korean monitor that I got for around $500 less than the other brands at the time. Absolutely worth it.

part of me wants linus to be a close family friend. I would get the best birthday gifts ever

linus, the type of guy that wears socks with sandals

That mouse dpi on cs:go 😧

I've been reading since a long time and I don’t recall any website talking about this and apparently 99% of people don’t know the fact that the actual size of the display changes with the aspect ratio, so for example 34 inch 21:9 ultra wide display equals 31.5 16:9, we are using the diagonal length as the size of the display which is accurate in the old days when there was only one aspect ratio which was 4:3 or when you're comparing displays of the same aspect ratio, I wanted to be as comprehensive as possible so I decided to explain this by taking rectangles all of them have the same actual size so when you multiply the length and the width you're gonna get 8, and each one have different aspect ratio (dimensions), and you're gonna notice the wider the rectangle the longer the diameter of the rectangle gets. Aspect ratio 1:1 Length:2.82 Width:2.82 Diameter:4 AR 5:4 L:3.16 W:2.53 D:4.048 AR 4:3 L:3.266 W2.45 D:4.0825 AR 16:10 L:3.577 W:2.236 D:4.219 AR 16:9 L:3.26 W2.121 D:4.326 AR 18:9 L:4 W:2 D:4.5 AR 21:9 L:4.3205 W1.85 D:4.7 AR 32:9 L:5.333 W:1.5 D:5.54 Like I said all these rectangles got the same exact size if you multiply length and width you're gonna get 8, which is the accurate way to measure the size of rectangles(displays), but as you could notice the diameter which is used to indicate the size of the display changes with aspect ratio. So a 4:3 display with 4.1 inch size display equals 4.7 inch 21:9, I'll mention few more realistic examples, 5:4 19" display with resolution 1280X1024 equals 20.3 16:9 display, 29" old CRT TV equals 30.73 16:9 TV, and 27" 16:9 equals 29.3 21:9, 31.5 display 16:9 equals 34.2, 21:9, 35" 16:9 equals 38" 21:9, 6.2 inch phone 18.5:9 equals 5.95 inch 16:9, 6" 18:9 equals 16:9 5.8 so these phones looks smaller not just because they are bezel less but because the actual size of the display is smaller as well, and finally double full HD 49" 32:9 equals 38" 16:9 displays. I also want to mention since the size of the display is measured by the diameter of the display that when you double the size of the display the actual size double 4 times for example 8" display is actually 4 times bigger than 4" display, the same goes for the way we measures pixel density which measured by pixel per inch AKA PPI so 200 PPI display has 4 times more pixels than 100 PPI display, How do we calculate PPI? We use Pythagorean equation of triangles which is length^2+width^2=diameter^2 So for example if you want to measure the pixel density of display FHD 27" 1920^2+1080^2=4852800 then you get the root of that number to get the diameter pixels 4852800^0.5=2202.9 then divide that number to the diameter of the display which is in this case is 27 so 2202.9/27=81.5 PPI, a 4k 27" which got 4 times more pixels has 163 PPI. Displays is the only thing in our life if measured by the diameter size, everything else is measured my multiplying length by width.

I am using the VIOTEK GN34C monitor and I believe it is the same make as the one in your video! Just with different names...

9:25 it's totally not taking that guy 3 mouse moves to turn around

9:14 When you watch a video that says you should use lower mouse sensitivity ...

They still sell pretty much the same Monitor, under brand names like Viotek or LC-power, only now for about 400€

I have an aoc c3583fq which i got for around £600 at pc world. it's 144hz, 2560x1080, 35", 160hz, 4ms response time and it has free sync. personally, I'm really glad that I got it and if you're looking for a low end ultra-wide curved monitor then the aoc c3583fq is a good choice. the main downside is that a couple of games don't have proper support for 2560x1080 and sometimes things are scaled up poorly or you have to change some files to fix the resolution (csgo has some of the scoreboard cut off and fallout 4 only runs in windowed at 1080p until you change some files

My god his CSGO mouse sensitivity is disgusting!

* Monitor has FreeSync * Uses Nvidia GPU with it * Complains about tearing * Praises G-Sync

Great review! Guess I won't be getting this as I'm a designer :(

So, the white viotek version of this monitor (gn34c) is on amazon right now for $350 usd with prime shipping 0_0. Currently running an I7 2300k, 16gb ddr3, rx590 sapphire nitro + and this monitor is PERFECT. Consistently in the 50-100fps on ESO, destiny 2 and rocket league.

That guy playing CSGO with low mouse speed is killing me from the inside out.

The most interesting thing in this video is not the monitor. It's how casually he brings his fucking Frankenstein computer over to use the monitor.

7:58 I never thought I would see an eXact in one of these videos ever !

The arm and foot jokes are the funniest things on LTT

When you have to drag the mouse across your room to move across the screen

9:15 BRO DO YOU NORMALLY PLAY WITH THAT DPI???? wtf dude?

I’m not surprised you can run that at 60hz DVI, I’ve done 1080p60 on VGA before.

I wish there was a 29" model of this with the same resolution

been subbed since 150k..... this guy never fails to entertain me....

9:20 wtf how does he play CS:GO? Lifting his mouse 4 times to turn 90 degrees? yikes.

7:23 there is actually a dead pixel at the left side of the monitor (just above the reflection of his hand)

Wow Linus is really sick,like go to the dude

ah look there's a foot in there

Freesync monitor, tests with Nvidia card

If you look closely there is a dead pixel at 7:26. Top half. Slightly to the left

50000 likes is pretty good on youtube when you are actually advitizing something everybody else is reviewing. Thats a good job well done!

Do you really wear sandals and white socks?... If yes, can you do a review about them?

Tfw you're so early the video isn't ready yet Edit: Now it's ready, woo

It's about time to subscribe to Linus ...Peace from Sweden!

When he said sick...I checked the day of publish!

9:14 that smoothly fast sensitivity...

Linus the kind of guy who review a freesync monitor with a nvidia gpu

hey! your videos are extreamly helpful and i subed but can you do a budget monitor meaning like 120$ for a video that would help me too

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. THANKS

If it has freesync , why is he using nvidia GPU ?

That arm and foot joke actually made me smile.

What happens to all this gear after you're done reviewing it?

Tracy Byrd - Drinking bone lol good job putting that monitor together xD
