The Amazing BFGD Remote: A Gaming Monitor Review

This is not an amazing remote, but the good news is that the rest of the on-screen display is about what you would expect for a gaming monitor. You can adjust overdrive, you can adjust the speed of the 384 local dimming zones so like how quickly they try to react to the content that's on the screen when you're not in HDR mode. You can make adjustments to things like gamma and all that kind of good stuff. But honestly with how calibrated this thing is out of the box, I actually wouldn't recommend touching it at all. It looks absolutely freaking fantastic.

Of course, one of the most exciting features of this monitor is its ability to overclock. If you turn max refresh rate on, you can go from 120 hertz max to 144 hertz max, but there's going to be some limitations. At 144, you're dealing with chroma subsampling which if you're using the desktop rather than playing a game can be quite noticeable in like this colored fringing around text. At 120, you are limited to 8-bit color and at 98 hertz that's gonna be the best experience when you're at the desktop because you're able to run RGB 10-bit color at well far greater than the 60 hertz refresh rate that you'd be stuck with with any other 4k TV.

Now, let's move on to something that we haven't done yet. Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran super smooth, thank you G-Sync guys! I'm not a competitive gamer, so I'm a huge fan of G-Sync and games like that definitely benefit from the animation smoothness even if it does come at the cost of a little bit of input delay. But this is a game you don't want any lag on, oh yes! So smooth!

One thing that I did find noticeable from time to time is this weird banding where you can kind of see the borders between the lighting zones. It's what it looks like, i can only see them vertically though, which is weird, i can't see them horizontally but it does kind of look like what would be the spacing of the full array local dimming zones. Man, it is so noticeable on a game like this.

Of course, no review of this monitor would be complete without talking about the mouse and keyboard living room experience. I mean, it's a challenge that there are aspects of a lot of PC games particularly mouse and keyboard ones that are not built to be enjoyed from you know 10 or 15 feet away. But all the usual complaints that you have about gaming on a TV whether it's input lag or whether it's response time of the pixels or whatever the case may be, are basically non-issues here.

Really, cat so i think i'm ready for the conclusion and it was far from a foregone one. You can see here my OLED didn't really go very far away there was a solid chance that this was going right back on the console when we were done here but it looks like the BFGD is here to stay. It has the obvious advantages of its thousand knit peak brightness and HDR games and movies. Two of my major concerns one being the glow around letterbox content and the other being the glow around bright objects moving across dark backgrounds kind of like these blue snowflakes moving across this dark chasm and cross code here ended up not being issues.

So i'm getting high refresh rate gaming with basically no downside because i happen to be a super techy nerdy person who already has a lot of the downsides taken care of. Like, not everybody already has a couch keyboard mouse setup that's wired into their home theater console, not everybody has a gaming PC as part of their living room. Yeah, this whole thing needs a complete rebuild, i guess we'll do a video about it, make sure you guys are subscribed so you don't miss that but if you're willing to work around those issues and if Asus works with Logitech to get harmony integration, i just don't really see a downside here.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: endespite the fact that i could bring home pretty much any tv i wanted from our studio i'm actually still using the first generation lg signature oled that i set up in here about two years ago the industrial design looks absolutely perfect in my living room and while oled technology has actually come a long way in that time the image quality on it is like already good enough for me but even though i am the kind of person for whom oled was pretty much made i've come to a realization that screen over there is actually the primary gaming display in this house so my son's not allowed to play mobile games i find very little time to cloister myself away in the office upstairs so i do most of my gaming here which means we actually game here more than we watch movies or tv so this is the rog swift pg-65u asus big format gaming display or bfgd let's see if it can take over my living room private internet access that's exactly what you'll get with pia a safe and protected ip and it's got loads of other features as well check it out at the link in the video description now the funny thing about this product is you guys might actually remember seeing it on our channel months ago but it's only just now making its way to retail shelves and there are a couple of reasons for that one is that asus felt like they needed a little bit more time to cook it and two is that they were actually working on some really cool features so something that the pg65u has that other bfgds don't is the ability to run variable refresh rate not just on the displayport input for pc but also on the hdmi input if you're more of an xbox gamer for example and this is some of the heaviest most dense foam that i have ever encountered look at this whoa okay well i shouldn't step on just one side well that's better look at that it is barely even compressing someone worked hard on that little piece of paper but we don't care is this an included calibrator you know what i think this is is an ambient light sensor ah so this is another thing asus was working on in our review of hp's bfgd we weren't that impressed with the fact that it uses its integrated nvidia shield as the only controller for the tv so this one has a separate tv controller the flip side of that though is that the rog swift doesn't have an integrated nvidia shield actually i'm gonna have to take off my sweater i think i'm getting a little warm lttstore.com so it actually has the stand on it already that's nice but it does make it a bit of a challenge to get out of here oh boy not all of how dark my shirt is right now is sweat some of it is rain it's raining out there see this box is wet evidence that it was raining okay oh there we go okay man i gotta say one thing about these bfgds is that it's kind of like going back in time this is pretty thick the good news is that for my setup it doesn't matter because i have to have a large console down here anyway so it makes no difference for me but for some people that might be a consideration so it uses a nipple style navigation joystick over here but it also has these other four buttons which i guess we'll investigate later power switch power input there's the integrated usb 3 hub it's got wow this is really nice it's actually got four hdmi inputs which is great display port in and optical audio i figured out what that thing is there's a dedicated aura sync usb port here it's an rgb light well then we might as well install it shadow honey that's the vase amount so yes the nice people on youtube do need to know about the vase amount on the back but you don't need to paw at it thank you oh thank goodness i actually wasn't sure what type of remote they were using i i use a logitech harmony and it occurred to me that this thing is so new it might not have all the code so this is going to be a little bit of tedious reprogramming but that's okay sorry bud you've served me well i guess it's time for you to go out to pasture though now one thing i have immediately noticed here that it's going to be a bit of a downgrade is that this tv does not have any type of analog inputs so i don't think i have anything plugged into my uh component cables back there but it's just it just means i'm not going to have that option now the bfgd i had kind of accounted for moving on my own this one with its integrated sound bar and everything i kind of hadn't i will try not to break it but if i break it it better be on all camera i'm gonna stash this over here oh okay that wasn't too bad sweet oh that is some dust and it's gone am i high enough uh yeah it runs a little now it's not all right yeah got it okay there you go okay dash no no oh weird i just realized this tv doesn't have an ethernet port because it doesn't have an nvidia shield that makes sense so it's not a smart tv wow it's got a cooling fan in here when i plugged this thing in it went again not actually a feature that's desirable for you know television but one thing that's giving me pause already is the very gamery aesthetic now this i have been over for a long time when it comes to monitors but this is my living room i think i'd probably have to wall mount this thing in order to feel like it doesn't look kind of stupid like just these little red accents on the bottom here the rog logo doesn't make sense i forgot that my gaming pc in the living room is actually running a mirror 980 ti now that's still a pretty decent graphics card for most applications but if you're have gonna have any hope of running 4k high refresh rate it is woefully inadequate oh wow this is actually kind of a janky rig i haven't worked on this in a while and i forgot um so physically it looks like an rtx 2080 ti is gonna fit in here but this is only an antec true power 550 power supply it also occurs to me now that back when i built this uh 4th gen core i5 was a pretty decent gaming processor uh you've served me well 980 ti vr edition with the special hdmi port on the back so there's only one solution bring my gaming rig with the rtx titan in it down to the living room and spend some real quality time with this thing tonight i will know for sure whether it's worth putting the clearly significant amount of effort that it's going to be into switching to this thing all right so i spent the night with this puppy and i ran into a lot of problems this needs to be wall mounted like being able to see the back of the stand and some wires back here and stuff like that it's not tidy it's got to go on the wall i didn't even think of this before i started but the optical audio cable has been basically obsolete for about 10 years now ever since blu-ray and the hd audio formats that came with it started appearing in the wild because there's no standard for it cannot carry hd audio the way you get hd audio from whatever's playing it to whatever's supposed to be making the noises in the airwaves is over hdmi you go out from your source so in this case it's a computer into your excuse me your av receiver which is then plugged into your multi-channel speaker arrangement except we aren't using hdmi we're going displayport directly into the tv and we need audio to go to the receiver some other way so one idea i came up with was to set up my receiver as kind of like a phantom secondary output and clone the output from my displayport tv to my receiver so you can see i'm plugged into the aux jack at the front here and we've got our two displays cloned and actually everything here looks like it's gonna go just fine until we go into the windows hd color menu and womp-womp when you're cloning there is no way to enable hdr so you'll see what happens here is when i set these to not clone oh no no no why is to the primary display i was playing around with this all night last night and i couldn't get hdr enabled on this display even when they were extended it just kept i kept hitting the box and it kept saying would you like to apply this change and i said yeah and then the box would just go back to where it was yes the audio is working correctly over my speakers you hear that wicked coil wine coming out of my desktop machine i never noticed because it sits in a closet by itself but seems to be coming from the titan yeah i know that's how i feel about it too i am so happy right now i don't know why it didn't work last night and i don't know why it's working now but oh ow so that's great that was actually the biggest problem that i had no way to solve because while it is a pretty cludgy solution i found this great app in like two minutes called uh what is this dual monitor tools it allows you to lock your cursor onto a single screen on boot up so you don't have to run around and reconfigure it freaking awesome and thanks to my logitech harmony remote no one else in my family has to know about all this clutchy nonsense because i can just go okay when we're ready to watch pc the receiver fires up it switches to this input we have the tv turned on how it would work asus has not apparently gotten in touch with logitech so the pg65u is not in their database for their harmony remotes which wouldn't be a problem because you can actually train your harmony remote using your existing remote if your existing remote doesn't kind of suck asus was pretty proud of their better remote experience compared to hp but better means like three more buttons apparently so there's a number of functions that i would need in order to integrate this with my harmony setup that i don't have first is dedicated power on and off buttons a power toggle means that if the ir signal ever gets missed you get out of sync so it starts firing up your receiver and turning off your tv and then vice versa every time you try to start a scene number two is it needs dedicated buttons for the inputs not just an input selector button that works once in a while and then scrolling through the inputs why can't i roll over once i get to the end of a menu that's just basic stuff you guys and also these programmable buttons while a really good idea in theory that would have allowed me to train my harmony remote with all those functions can only do a couple of things brightness input select game plus and game visual why would input select be one of them i already have an input select button and i haven't even gotten into the issues with movies yet now i did say we game more on this tv than we watch movies but that doesn't mean that we don't watch movies and this one isn't asus fault in particular but the plex app for pc you can see results in this very washed out ugly gross picture when i'm in hdr mode on my monitor switching over to an nvidia shield on the other hand for whatever reason this looks exactly like you'd expect hdr content to look and it's exactly the same file now the good news here is that aside from the glow around my mute icon here one moment please ah that's better local dimming has its issues but the good news is that when the stars align and you get hdr content going on this thing it looks absolutely freaking awesome i'm really pleased to say that one of my major concerns going from oled back to an lcd of some sort was that i'd have to deal with the glow whenever you're watching letterboxed content on a 16x9 display when you're in a dark room like it's quite distracting but i'm very pleased to report that when you have absolutely nothing sitting around like like a mute icon for example it is pitch black i couldn't see it even last night with all the lights off and complete darkness outside now windows poor handling of hdr content is obviously not a new problem and it's something that i will be able to work around as long as asus works with logitech to get harmony integration going because this is not an amazing remote the good news is the rest of the on-screen display is about what you would expect for a gaming monitor you can adjust overdrive you can adjust the speed of the 384 local dimming zones so like how quickly they try to react to the content that's on the screen when you're not in hdr mode you can make adjustments to things like gamma and all that kind of

whether it's input lag or whether it's response time of the pixels or whatever the case may be are basically non-issues here wow really cat so i think i'm ready for the conclusion and it was far from a foregone one you can see here my oled didn't really go very far away there was a solid chance that this was going right back on the console when we were done here but it looks like the bfgd is here to stay it has the obvious advantages of its thousand knit peak brightness and hdr games and movies and two of my major concerns one being the glow around letterbox content and the other being the glow around bright objects moving across dark backgrounds kind of like these here these blue snowflakes moving across this dark chasm and cross code here ended up not being issues so i'm getting high refresh rate gaming with basically no downside because i happen to be a super techy nerdy person who already has a lot of the downsides taken care of like not everybody already has a couch keyboard mouse setup that's wired into their home theater console not everybody has a gaming pc as part of their living room yeah this whole thing needs a complete rebuild i guess we'll do a video about it make sure you guys are subscribed so you don't miss that but if you're willing to work around those issues and if asus works with logitech to get harmony integration i just don't really see a downside
