LG's New HUGE Gaming OLED Display...

So today we're checking out the newest display from LG

It's part of the OLED Evo lineup, which is their latest generation of OLED products

What's special about today's unit, the OLED G1. It adds features that are typically reserved

for gaming monitors, except on a much larger format display. So I think this unit is going to be popular for those that like to watch content but also play games

Inside of this display you have Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync. You also have 120fps

4k you have a low input lag and a one millisecond response time gaming plus OLED. What? What? What? What? What? What

It sounds like a recipe for one heck of a time. Thank you

Thank you

wow look at the pop look at the OLED all right so to be honest I look at the C1 model in the

past fairly recently so I know what this display looks like I know that it looks good I know we're

talking OLED next generation but what's special about this one like I said is the gaming element

so we got all kinds of stuff set up to take advantage of that it's a full like flight simulator

scenario going on here I never even expected it never thought I see the day so we have a couple of titles to take advantage of it but first i want to showcase the profile of this particular display i mean it is crazy slim as you can see here i am seeing

four hdmis and optical audio three usb imports that's plenty of versatility the key factor

with those HDMI ports is that they're HDMI 2.1, so capable of those high frame rates that you're

looking for, particularly getting back to the gaming thing, up to 4K 120. Look how tight that is

Get it right, get it tight. When it's pushed all the way in, I don't have my phone. Bo's phone

straight from the low zone this is a thin phone as well yeah you can see the phone comparison

thin phone thin display comparison as far as like off the wall maybe it's like two phones off the

wall the remotes so i have seen this new remote very comfy uh they have revitalized it you now

have more dedicated keys for things like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus is on there. We have

voice through Google Assistant and there's a dedicated button for LG channels. If we just head

home, we have, as you can see, this cursor input still tracks around the display, app list

dashboard, search Unbox Therapy on YouTube. I look up on box therapy and YouTube bingo yay so yeah so voice it's what you want you got this

like scroll wheel in the middle uh everything you need NFC is on there too pairing purposes

why don't we just let's just real quick launch a video This is pretty exciting right now. We've got this concept phone

Loud audio. Loud audio. It has some crazy loud audio. What a spot to be in

Look at the black. For the dark shot. Somehow they do it. I don't know how they do it. It's like a

This crazy slim profile and yet they somehow pack volume in there. I'll play. I'll actually play some music right now

It's up to you like It's loud. You could get away with just having this for audio

You could add external speakers if you want. But the main thing is, like, you still have enough sound if you want the slimmest profile possible

Just the TV, just the wall. You got volume. Loud audio. Game optimization

All right, so you know the benefits. You know how beautiful OLED happens to be. You know about the deep, the deep black and the rich colors associated with it

I mean, it's not even really up for discussion at this point. It's pretty well established

I've been talking about it for, well, since it existed as a technology you probably already look at it in your smartphone and you probably missing out on your display as far as your big large format where it really pays off and you might notice it even more so but the differentiation with this new oled g1 is the

gaming aspect and the game optimizer in the game specific settings now this could be whatever

source you want to supply to the hdmi so it could be a gaming pc like we have hooked up over here

It could be a next-gen gaming console. It's up to you how you like to play

And then all of a sudden, when you hop into your settings, you'll see the game optimizer becomes available

And this is where things get spicy. As you'll see, we have our game genre selection

It's currently set to standard mode. We have our VRR and G-Sync

NVIDIA G-Sync is currently turned on. NVIDIA system down there. If I click on game genre

I can switch this from standard to first-person shooter, role-playing game, or real-time strategy

There's a couple of other features which they have put into the Game Optimizer

Black Stabilizer, which adjusts visibility to have better quality of dark scenes in the game

And there's a white Stabilizer there as well. OLED Motion Pro, reduction in blue light

And this is cool. look at this input delay otherwise known as input lag man i remember in the old days having to look

far and wide for displays that had low input lag that were good for gaming of course times have

changed here we have our standard setting which is going to reduce input delay this is of course

the amount of time it takes for an input on a controller to register on the display and if you

have a lag, particularly in a competitive style game, it can be very problematic. So the standard

mode is already doing some degree of optimization. The boost attempting to match the frame rate of

the game console, but you have multiple settings there depending how crazy you want to get with it

but it's already got decent input lag out the box in the standard setting. Oh, so game optimizer

acts like a picture setting so once i click on it all my presets for what i like to have set up for

gaming will just toggle alongside the main game optimizer setting so then when i go back to some

other source i may have that for example on vivid or have more processing in there because the key

here with a game optimizer is to limit some of that post-processing in order to deliver that

speed that you're looking for. Hence the G portion of the G1. Look at this incredible setup we have

here. I mean, I have, I mean, I've always wanted to do something along these lines right here

This is incredible. I mean, they sent us this stuff to goof around with Flight Simulator

though I feel like I need Willie Dew at this point because he knows about this stuff. Where's Will? Will, thank you for joining. Since you are our resident pilot

flight simulator expert we're just looking for a quick rundown on some of the equipment

we have over here well that's the yoke that's pretty much what i know that's the important

part okay cool jesus where the airport holy there nothing relaxing about me doing this Trying to The airport further over there

Oh, there it is. I see it. Yeah. Yo, am I gonna hit the water right now

Oh, God. OH GOD! Oh my God. Critical damage to the aircraft

I feel like I can pull this off, though. Oh God, don't go down there

Yo, how did I do way better on the first? Oh

Man, I did not expect... Oh, I'm still driving! That's fine. No, no, no

I'm fine with that. I gave... Like, once I hit and landed, I was like..

Cool. I guess I went to the wrong runway. I went to the left instead of straight, but..

Man, it's stressful flying a plane. Jeez. Quite an immersive experience. Now, the reason we have Flight Simulator on here is because this might be the example

an example of a type of game that you want to play, which can really utilize a large-scale display for immersion

You see often people will do like a multi-monitor setup around themselves

for that to feel like you're really looking out of a plane

but those can be messy, some of those setups. If you just get a really large display

and it's not lacking the gaming features you're looking for and you sit the right distance to it

it can kind of mimic that same type of immersion. So that's pretty cool

All right, so we just got done with Flight Simulator, as you saw

and that came super resource intensive with the graphics amped up and we're running off of a 3070 right now

So you saw frame rates dip below 30, but that's because of the gaming PC

not because of the capabilities of the display. And so now we're in squadrons

Oh God, get it together. And you can see we are utilizing

that higher frame rate capability over HDMI 2.1 on the display. Wow

All right, they've done. So it's not just low input, It's also high frame rate performance

So if you look in the corner there, depending on how much detail is around me

at any given point, you can see it fluctuate, but it's certainly over the 60 you might be used to

on previous generation TVs. This sort of showcases the ability to go above that

Whoa! So it's OLED, low input lag, it's one millisecond response, and it's 4K 120

Holy cow

The learning curve on this one, too. So there it is. It's the LG OLED G1

OLED, but for gaming. And all the other stuff, too. But gaming as well
