WEBVTT 00:00.120 --> 00:05.280 What's inside here has never existed until now 00:05.280 --> 00:12.400 In fact, this is like an early pre-production model. This is probably one of three to five 00:12.400 --> 00:41.300 that exist in the world. All right, so before I jump into all the firsts 00:41.300 --> 00:46.940 and there's like a lot here, gaming makes me happy. I want to reciprocate, especially this time of year 00:47.360 --> 00:51.920 and hopefully make somebody else out there happy and give you a chance to win 500 bucks 00:51.980 --> 00:56.100 Doing this for years is one of my favorite things to do in videos. Thank you for supporting the channel 00:56.100 --> 01:05.480 and generally being awesome. So tell me down below, After you get the video a thumbs up, what's the first game you would play on your brand new MSI monitor 01:05.780 --> 01:12.660 Tell me a fact about yourself or a joke, anything you want. Just make sure there's a way to contact you either in the comment or when I click your username on your YouTube page 01:12.980 --> 01:17.020 There's a social way to contact you there so I can let you know that you won 01:17.340 --> 01:21.740 Open it up to anyone in the world. Let it run for 10 days. All the information you need, read down below 01:21.740 --> 01:26.740 So this is the very first 27 inch 4K QD OLED monitor 01:31.340 --> 01:35.140 And I've made a lot of videos talking about QD OLED technology 01:35.140 --> 01:40.620 and what it is and what it does. I'll get to that more in the video, but it's the first time we've seen this in a monitor 01:40.620 --> 01:45.060 Oh, it also has 240 Hertz refresh rate. You know, that was enough 01:45.060 --> 01:50.760 And a ton of IO to use it as pretty much a dock. So standard cables, you've got a dock 01:50.760 --> 01:56.880 even giving you a display port, which is awesome, which enables that 240 hertz refresh rate 01:56.880 --> 02:02.900 power cables, a bunch of I.O. Man, they give you cables for everything. You've got HDMI, USB, display port stuff 02:02.900 --> 02:10.680 but that's all fine. This is what I wanna see. All right, let me take it out of the box 02:10.680 --> 02:19.840 Lean in here. 27-inch, 4K display, QD-OLED. It's a grand reveal 02:19.840 --> 02:23.780 one hand so we can do it. God, if I break this they're gonna be so mad at me 02:23.780 --> 02:41.404 This is like the one that exists. But let's try it. If the video suddenly cuts to black um you know why Ha ha Well you can really see what it can do I think it probably makes more sense to set it up All right so let me jump into it If you were in the market for a gaming monitor 02:41.404 --> 02:45.564 like this MSI MPG, first of all, I think you've got taste 02:45.564 --> 02:50.724 because the main thing you care about is panel quality, and that is what this can give you 02:50.784 --> 02:55.224 It's kind of like looking at a phone with a bad screen. No matter how good that phone is 02:55.284 --> 03:02.984 no matter how good the PC connected to the monitor is, the picture if it doesn't look good it doesn't matter its fidelity is not there if the colors 03:02.984 --> 03:09.604 aren't there the black levels aren't there it is not going to matter what gpu you've got in 03:09.604 --> 03:14.524 your gaming rig because it's all going to look bad the display quality i've said it for years 03:14.524 --> 03:19.524 matters almost more than anything else and this is an area that high-end gaming monitors have come 03:19.524 --> 03:24.364 a long way for especially in the past few years you don't have to make a choice anymore between 03:24.364 --> 03:31.244 like high refresh rate and great quality, you actually have both. And that starts obviously with the panel 03:31.424 --> 03:35.764 Most people are probably aware that OLED technology, each pixel illuminates itself 03:36.144 --> 03:41.104 So when the pixels are turned off, you're actually getting black. They're not the sort of gray that you get with LEDs 03:41.104 --> 03:46.444 It kind of tricks your brain into seeing blacks. And where this monitor differs 03:46.444 --> 03:51.884 is that it's a third generation of cutie OLED technology. It means there's a quantum dot layer 03:51.884 --> 03:55.544 on top of the OLED panel that's going to get significantly better color accuracy 03:55.704 --> 04:01.124 a wider color gamut, sort of better peak brightness, all the things that regular OLEDs tend to struggle with 04:01.504 --> 04:05.204 And if none of that means anything to you, just know this is what you're going to get 04:05.484 --> 04:09.344 You're going to get a beautiful OLED display that just looks brighter 04:09.704 --> 04:14.244 that just looks a bit more vibrant. And for gaming, it is like chef's kiss 04:14.244 --> 04:19.904 the perfect combination. And when it comes to a monitor, I think those are the most important areas 04:20.004 --> 04:23.624 not obviously just for gaming, but also maybe you want to do some work on this 04:23.804 --> 04:29.504 So for example, when we're gaming or making these videos, having an accurate display is crucial 04:29.864 --> 04:38.144 And this monitor gives you that right out of the box. That means for specs, it has 98% Adobe RGB coverage 04:38.524 --> 04:45.844 99% DCI-P3 coverage, and sRGB coverage at 138%. And it can get to a thousand nits of brightness 04:45.984 --> 04:54.204 And again, if that means nothing to you, it gets super bright and the colors look like they're supposed to look that's what matters it 04:54.204 --> 05:00.944 also keeps going after that too this is a obviously killer monitor for gaming uh 120 hertz 05:00.944 --> 05:14.749 is good for a monitor how about 240 hertz that is a refresh rate built in what about latency It got a 0 millisecond response time This eliminates screen tearing 05:15.209 --> 05:20.369 which is the last thing I think you want in a game. And one area that is always a worry with OLED 05:20.589 --> 05:24.249 and it's sort of always on my mind with OLED, even though it's not much of a concern anymore 05:24.249 --> 05:28.589 It's still, from the old days, burned in my head, and that's because it's burned in 05:29.109 --> 05:33.089 And longevity of sort of the display. If you don't know what burning is 05:33.089 --> 05:38.309 used to be relatively common with the first or second generation of OLED technology. Maybe you're 05:38.309 --> 05:43.069 watching sporting event a lot or news and like the logo is always in the same spot. When you turn the 05:43.069 --> 05:49.269 TV to a different channel, you'd still sort of see like a ghost of that image. It hasn't been a problem 05:49.269 --> 05:54.669 for years, but I think people who make OLED sets and companies make OLED sets want to eliminate 05:54.669 --> 06:00.509 that and give buyers peace of mind. That's what MSI is doing. This thing comes with OLED Care 2.0 06:00.509 --> 06:05.089 which has logo detection, taskbar detection, boundary detection, which will help eliminate 06:05.089 --> 06:11.269 kind of all of those burden and fears. So this is not like a full-on review of this video 06:11.409 --> 06:16.649 I can let you know if you wanna see that. This is generally just like a first impressions of sitting down and checking this out 06:16.749 --> 06:24.569 So I'm gonna pull off plastic here. All right, so the first thing you look at 06:24.569 --> 06:30.209 when you can see this is almost non-existent bezels. This thing is super thin and it flows off to the side 06:30.509 --> 06:36.469 but the first thing I wanna check is the refresh rate. So even just like moving around a steam window 06:36.469 --> 06:40.969 I don't know if that's gonna translate like on camera, but that looks trippy 06:40.969 --> 06:46.549 Everything here is obviously like super smooth and running at 240 Hertz 06:46.549 --> 06:50.689 YouTube would never be able to like capture this like appropriately, but the smoothness here 06:50.689 --> 06:57.209 is definitely on point. It's also like insanely thin. It's more designed, I almost think like a TV 06:57.209 --> 07:03.529 that you would mount on a wall than a monitor, like really thin, and then the components in the back 07:03.809 --> 07:09.009 This is like a weird thing. You sit down and you don't really want to notice the monitor 07:09.129 --> 07:14.849 You just want to watch and do what you're doing. You notice this one. You know it's something, even if you don't know about QD OLED 07:15.049 --> 07:19.449 you don't know about refresh rates, like you can tell like something is good, right 07:19.449 --> 07:23.849 The first time you see like a sports car, you're like, that's something different 07:23.929 --> 07:30.089 You know nothing about cars. It's really similar here with what MSI has done. If you sit down and just move the mouse 07:30.089 --> 07:34.749 you can tell like, that looks good. And then the more like you dive in 07:34.749 --> 07:48.814 you can start to sort of see how things perform. So I gonna load up a game just to see how it goes The first impression style I put some Spider on here and just again straight up first impressions loading this for the first time on this monitor Give it a play 07:48.814 --> 07:53.814 So if you look at your monitor or TV and you look at blacks, and you really like to look at them 07:53.814 --> 07:57.774 unless it's an OLED or a cutie OLED, they will look very dark gray 07:57.774 --> 08:04.334 This is obviously completely black. Look at the Insomniac logo. Like you'd expect from an OLED and cutie OLED here 08:04.334 --> 08:08.214 those are pure black levels. What I really want to see is refresh 08:08.714 --> 08:13.394 And it's even just like swinging around here. I mean, it looks like you'd expect from a 240 hertz monitor 08:13.514 --> 08:18.294 It looks beautiful and smooth. Even just sort of jumping around here or swinging 08:18.614 --> 08:26.514 The best comment I can give this is it looks exactly like I'd expect while playing a game on sort of a top tier 240 hertz 4K QD OLED monitor 08:26.514 --> 08:31.194 This checks every single box, and the gaming experience looks to reflect that 08:31.554 --> 08:36.314 So this has a bunch of I.O. built into it. So it kind of acts as a hub if you want 08:36.454 --> 08:44.034 It's got DisplayPort 2.1, which supports 4K at 240 hertz. I think that's the port most people will use to connect their PC to it 08:44.454 --> 08:50.214 It's got two HDMI 2.1 ports. It's got a single USB Type-C port to actually act as your DisplayPort 08:50.614 --> 08:56.934 And it also delivers power with 98 watts of charging power, which I think is awesome if you want to connect the laptop to it 08:56.934 --> 09:02.154 And MSI makes it also easy to use with multiple systems too. So they've got something called KVM support 09:02.154 --> 09:11.714 since you control multiple systems with one monitor instead of peripheral. So perfect for, like, kind of dang, a PC, a PlayStation 5, or anything else 09:11.974 --> 09:18.374 I feel, when I talk about monitors, the same way I feel like when I talk about TVs. Like, you can't know what it looks like unless you see it 09:18.754 --> 09:23.194 You can look online, and they all look the same. They all have the same picture of a fish, generally 09:23.634 --> 09:29.834 when you look at pictures of displays and monitors online. But when you see something in person, you can tell that it's different 09:29.834 --> 09:34.434 You can tell that it's special. And yes, MSI did sponsor this video 09:34.534 --> 09:41.614 My impressions here are genuine. QD OLED technology stands out above the rest 09:42.114 --> 09:47.914 Every other technology while really good does their best to mimic QD OLED 09:48.494 --> 09:55.814 To make it look as good as QD OLED, but almost never does it exceed what QD OLED can bring 09:56.174 --> 10:02.154 You are getting incredible display quality. You're getting incredible brightness. after getting bonkers refresh rate 10:02.154 --> 10:07.694 And it's all made by a company that's been around for a while that knows how to make quality products 10:07.694 --> 10:13.674 I think what MSI has done here is probably make the perfect monitor for everybody 10:13.674 --> 10:17.134 And if you wanna check it out, all links you need, be down below
