**Display Review: 1400 Monitor Budget**

Firstly, it's worth noting that a monitor with a budget of $1400 may seem like a lot, but when you consider that 4K games often require a frame rate range of 40-60 FPS to run smoothly, the benefits of variable refresh rate technology become more apparent. However, since this particular monitor does not support G-Sync or FreeSync technology, it's unclear whether this feature will be relevant for gamers.

In terms of performance, playing AAA titles at high resolutions can indeed push the limits of even powerful hardware. For example, a machine like this one (a GTX 1080 Ti or Titan V) may struggle to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS in certain games, highlighting the importance of variable refresh rate technology in improving smoothness and reducing screen tearing. On the other hand, the UHD430 does offer good color accuracy and gamut coverage, thanks to its IPS panel.

**HDR Support and Bit Depths**

Another aspect worth mentioning is the monitor's HDR support. While it claims to support HDR, it's essential to note that true HDR requires a minimum peak brightness of 1000 nits. The UHD430 only reaches 400 nits in terms of peak brightness, which may not be sufficient for all HDR content. Additionally, when trying to achieve both HDR and high refresh rates (above 98 Hz), the monitor's bit depth is downgraded to 8-bit.

**Color Accuracy and Quantum Dot Panel**

Moving on to color accuracy, the UHD430 features a quantum dot panel, which provides good coverage of the sRGB color space. However, when it comes to DCI-P3 coverage, the panel falls short. This means that photographers or graphic designers who rely heavily on precise color reproduction may find this monitor lacking in terms of color accuracy.

**Chassis and Connectivity**

In terms of design, the UHD430's chassis is made from brushed aluminum, which looks sleek but not particularly impressive. While it does have a decent amount of cable management options, including side-accessible I/O ports, the bezels could be thinner and more modern-looking. The monitor also comes with three HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, and a Toslink optical audio jack.

**Value for Money**

Considering its size (16 inches) and features, the UHD430 is priced at around $500-$600, which makes it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their monitor experience without breaking the bank. However, it's essential to weigh this against the benefits of having a larger screen with improved performance.

**Ting Mobile Carrier**

Finally, we should mention that Ting Mobile Carrier offers a unique service model that sets them apart from other carriers. With no contracts or overage fees, users have complete control over their cell phone account and can set alerts and caps for each device to keep usage in check. Nationwide LTE coverage ensures reliable connections across the US, making it an attractive option for those who want flexibility and reliability.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the UHD430 is a solid display that offers good color accuracy, a decent range of features, and a reasonable price point. However, its limitations in terms of HDR support and variable refresh rate technology may make it less appealing to some users. Whether or not this monitor is worth buying depends on individual preferences and priorities.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay so this monitor has appeared in like four videos i think at this point on our channel so you probably know how amazing it is it's got a whole laundry list of features some of which you might actually care a lot about like a 4k resolution screen 144 hertz depending on how you interpret that refresh rate and i mean it's got some other stuff that you might not care about uh hdr g-sync professional grade color accuracy and of course ah oh it's heavy rgb lighting oh and of course right it costs 2 000 freaking dollars but what if you could take away the extra rgb cherries on top and just get the stuff that you really care about the 4k and the high refresh rate this my friends is the wasabi mango which yes is really what it's called thank you korea this is their uhd 430 it's a 43 inch 120 hertz 4k display for over five hundred dollars less than this one over here thermaltake's vue 71k supports mini itx micro atx atx and eatx motherboards with a variety of mounting options for your gpu and radiator check it out today at the link below so the wasabi mango uhd 430 believe it or not was actually the first commercially available monitor to take full advantage of the displayport 1.4 spec which means that over a single cable it has enough bandwidth for the display's 3840 by 2160 resolution at 120 hertz without any chroma subsampling so no it's not 144 hertz but depending who you ask neither is this one by the way you should check out the full review for this thing here it is it is pretty freaking amazing so you might be wondering if the uhd430 came out first why is this review only coming out now that's because this thing is only available for purchase in south korea but now thanks to enterprising exporters you can actually get your very own in north america on ebay for fourteen hundred dollars with free international shipping that is a full six hundred dollars cheaper than the asus and acer offerings hold on a second it's 43 inches it does have display port but is this thing just a tv with displayport is it even any good for gaming uh yeah yeah it is like this thing might kind of look like a tv like look at this look at this stand here and everything it might even kind of like smell like a tv but it feels it games like a gaming monitor i mean we consistently saw impressively low input lag and even the response times feel great considering that this is an ips panel like there's barely any motion blur to be seen on it now of course going for a budget option can i call a 1400 monitor budget i mean first there is no variable refresh rate technology no g-sync no freesync even and since 4k games take a lot of uh peppa to run well you're likely to be in the 40 to 60 fps range when you're playing aaa titles even if you're running a gtx 1080 ti or a titan v like this machine is actually and that's the exact frame rate range where the most dramatic effects of variable refresh rate can be seen with that said your mileage may vary depending on the games you play and even how much you notice or care about tearing or stuttering and that sort of thing also there is a chance that the uhd430 will get a freesync support in the future via a firmware update that's actually the method that wasabi mango used to upgrade their uhd420 way back in 2015 uht420 compromise number the next is uh the hdr that uh oh yes there it is so it's on the box and they claim it supports hdr but this is one of those hdrint kind of displays where it only reaches 400 nit peak brightness true hdr really demands a minimum of a thousand nits peak brightness and while we're at it we should note that you can't get 120 hertz 10 bit color and hdr turned on all at the same time you actually need to turn the refresh rate down to 98 hertz to really experience hdr otherwise the bit depth gets downgraded to 8-bit which i mean on the subject of bit depths and color accuracy um well the au optronics panel that is in the asus pg27uq and the acer x27 is a quantum dot panel giving it very accurate color over a wide gamut this one well let's just say it has good coverage of the srgb color space i mean it is ah ips after all but then it has what we would describe as bork all as far as dci p3 coverage goes and colors that are definitely not accurate enough for any serious photo editors out there let alone profes i wouldn't edit a picture i took on my phone on this thing quite frankly looking at it side by side with a real monitor finally if you're into that sort of thing there's no rgb or glowing lights or anything like that but at least the chassis actually isn't half bad it does have like a brushed anodized aluminum face even if the bezels aren't super skinny it's got a vase amount compatible back so you can put it on an arm if you're a wall mount if you're into that sort of thing and it's got side accessible i o with two displayport 1.4 ports three hdmi 2.0 ports and a toslink optical audio jack which you might actually use since the included speakers while definitely appreciated don't sound great and aren't even loud enough for monitor use let alone tv use so should you buy this monitor i mean i guess if you've got a powerful enough rig to actually take advantage of 4k 120 hertz in at least some of your favorite games and you really want to be an early adopter then the 5 to 600 ish dollar price difference makes it easier to justify not to mention that it is 16 inches bigger to boot though that does mean that the pixel density drops from 163 pixels per inch on this guy to about 104 on this one so you won't be sitting that close anyway at least that is unless you are playing one of those visual novels that i definitely don't know anything about ting is the mobile carrier that does service contracts a little differently in the sense that there are no contracts there's no overage fees or any other carrier tricks like that you just pay a fair price for the talk text and data that you actually use every month and ting gives you complete control over your cell phone account you can set alerts and caps for each device on your account to keep your usage in check nationwide lte coverage means that you'll have great coverage from coast to coast and almost any phone will work with ting from that ancient motorola razer sitting in your basement to the latest samsung galaxy s9 or iphone 10 so check your phone's compatibility and get 25 bucks off your bill or towards a new phone at linus.ting.com we're going to have that linked below so thanks for watching guys if this video
