LG's New HUGE Gaming OLED Display... By Unbox Therapy

So today we're checking out the newest display from lg it's part of the OLED Eve 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 this display, you have NVIDIA g-sync and AMD free sync. You also have 120 fps 4k, you have a low input lag and a one millisecond response time, gaming plus OLED what what what it sounds like a recipe for one heck of a time. Wow, look at the pop look at the old end, all right! So to be honest, I look at the c1 model in the past uh 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'd 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 HDMI in 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 Bose phone.

You know straight from the bow zone. This is a thin phone as well yeah, that's pretty crazy! 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. 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 is 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 right now we've got uh this concept for loud audio, loud audio. It has some crazy 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 got, 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 a 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's existed as a technology, you probably already look at it in your smartphone, and you're, 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 gaming genre selection. It's currently set to standard mode. We have our var and g-sync NVIDIA g-sync is currently turned on in 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 like a competitive style, a 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 on 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 uh. 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 willy do at this point, because he knows about this stuff. Where's will well will thank you for joining uh. Since you are our resident pilot or flight simulator expert we're just looking for a quick rundown on some of the equipment we have over here. Well, that's the yolk and that's pretty much what I know. That's the important part: okay, cool Jesus where's, the airport.

There's nothing relaxing about me doing this, the airport's further over there! Oh, there it is, I see it. To am. I going to hit the water right now, oh god, oh god, oh my god, critical damage to the aircraft. I feel like. Furthermore, I can pull this off, though, oh god don't go down there yo.

How did I do way better? Whoa, man? I did not expect? Oh, I'm still driving. Oh, that's fine! 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. Furthermore, I went to the left instead of straight, but man, it's stressful, flying the plane, quite an immersive experience now.

The reason we have flight simulator on here is that 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 who 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 game super resource intensive with the graphics amped up, and we're running off of a 30 70 right now so use sub 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 alright made that, so it's not just low input lag. 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, it's low input lag, it's one-millisecond response, and it's 4k 120. , oh cow, the learning curve on this one too. So there it is its the lg OLED g1 OLED, but for gaming and all the other stuff too. But gaming as well.
