LG's New HUGE Gaming OLED Display...
**Standard Mode: A Balanced Approach to Gaming**
We are currently set in standard mode, which means we have our VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and G-Sync enabled. Our Nvidia system is configured to take advantage of these features, providing an optimal gaming experience. With the game genre selected as "First-Person Shooter Role-Playing Game" or "Real-Time Strategy", we can adjust various settings to suit our preferences.
One feature that stands out in this mode is the Optimizer, which adjusts visibility to provide better quality in dark scenes. This feature is particularly useful for games with high contrast ratios, allowing us to see more detail in low-light environments. Additionally, there's a White Stabilizer to reduce flicker and improve overall image quality.
Another important aspect of standard mode is input delay, also known as input lag. This refers to the time it takes for an input on a controller to be registered on the display. High input lag can be detrimental in competitive gaming, where split-second timing is crucial. The standard setting reduces input lag, ensuring that our controllers respond quickly and accurately.
**Game Optimizer: A Setting for Customization**
The Game Optimizer acts like a picture setting, allowing us to toggle various presets with a single click. This means we can quickly switch between different settings to suit the demands of each game. The key with this feature is to limit post-processing effects to deliver speed and performance.
By using the Game Optimizer, we can optimize our display settings for specific games. For example, if we're playing a game that requires high frame rates, such as a fast-paced first-person shooter, we can adjust the settings to prioritize smooth motion and responsive controls. Conversely, if we're playing a game that benefits from more detailed graphics, we can enable additional features like anti-aliasing or motion blur.
**Flight Simulator: A Test of Display Capabilities**
To demonstrate the capabilities of our display, we decided to play a flight simulator game. This type of game is particularly well-suited for large-scale displays, allowing players to immerse themselves in the virtual environment. By setting up our flight simulator on our display, we can experience the thrill of flying without leaving our seats.
However, playing a resource-intensive game like Flight Simulator requires high-performance hardware, including powerful graphics cards and processors. Our Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 is doing its best to handle the demands of the game, but frame rates are dipping below 30 FPS. This highlights the importance of having a capable gaming PC to match our display's capabilities.
**Squadrons: A Showcase of Display Performance**
To put our display through its paces, we decided to play a fast-paced action game like Squadrons. With its high frame rate requirements and demanding graphics, this game is an ideal test of our display's performance. As we played the game, we noticed that the display was handling the increased frame rates with ease, maintaining smooth motion and responsive controls.
By using HDMI 2.1, which supports higher refresh rates and lower latency, we were able to take full advantage of our display's capabilities. The LG OLED G1 is a powerful display that excels in gaming applications, providing low input lag, high frame rates, and excellent image quality. Its 4K resolution at 120Hz makes it an ideal choice for fast-paced games like Squadrons.
Overall, our display has proven itself to be an excellent gaming platform, capable of delivering smooth motion, responsive controls, and stunning visuals. Whether we're playing a flight simulator or a fast-paced action game like Squadrons, our LG OLED G1 is up to the task, providing an immersive and engaging gaming experience.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enSo 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 and it adds features that are typically reserved for gaming monitors except on a much larger format display so I think 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 free sync you also have 120 FPS 4K you have low input lag and a 1 millisecond response time gaming plus OLED what what what what what it sounds like a recipe for one hack of a Time wow look at the pop look at the olded all right so to be honest I look at the C1 model in the past uh fairly recently so on 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 an optical audio 3 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 uh frame rates that you're looking for particularly getting back to the gaming thing uh 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 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 thewall 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 applist dashboard search unbox therapy on YouTube I look up unbox therapy in 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's 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 uh this concept phone loud audio loud audio it has some crazy feat 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 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 a 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 optim ier 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 nextg 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 in standard mode we have our vrr and gsync Nvidia gsync is currently turned on Nvidia system down there if I click on game genre I can switch this from standard to firstperson Shooter role playing game or realtime 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 uh amount of time it takes for an input on a controller to register on the display and if you have a lag particularly in like 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 into 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 uh Vivid or have more processing in there because the key here with a game Optimizer is to limit some of that postprocessing 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 Willie do at this point because he knows about this stuff where's will will will thank you for joining uh 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 and that's pretty much what I know that's the important part okay cool Jesus where's the airport holy there's nothing relaxing about me doing this trying to the airport's further over there oh there it is I see it yeah you're going the right way yo am I going to 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 oh that's fine no no I'm fine with that I gave like once I hit and landed I was like cool and 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 uh 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 graphic 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 Miss incoming not good wow all right that so it's not just low input leg 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 oh so it's OLED it's low input lag it's 1 millisecond response and 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 wellSo 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
