This Monitor plus a remote controlled soundbar to replace your TV sounds pretty good.
Jimmy Tries World or 200$ surround sound speakers
Ewwww soundbars
Jimmy Tries World but it doesnt have a tv tuner
what's wrong with soundbars?
it's a good midrange product that is economical and easy to install and dramatically improves quality.
weesh theyre still worlds below a decent pair of speakers.
It‘s just that a lot of people buy soundbars because they sound „better“ (not hard if your TV sounds like shit) instead of getting some real speakers which sound even „betterer“.
WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THE LOUD MUSIC ?!
I upgraded to a 40" 4K monitor a few weeks ago and it's great. I had been using 3 22" 1080p monitors on a desk mount for the last few years and this is way better. It takes up less space, gives me more screen area, multitasking is fantastic, and fullscreen content looks great.
Yes, moving it back would result in the same perceived surface area than a smaller monitor that lies closer BUT a shorter distance can also take a toll on your eyes, since you have to focus much closer. During long usage sessions it may help develop near sightedness.
What's up with that loud background music?
why do they have to add some weird ass music to a perfectly good video
Taran must be on vacation he would never ruin a perfectly good video with background music
CooterPatrol think he is with dennis
Yeah, pushing weird music on others is just like preaching religious crap. Itself not even good
What is with people complaining about the music levels.. what crappy speakers are you using?
What’s with the loud ass music when I’m trying to listen to you speak 🙄
2:13 Do all LMG employees sleep in work-t's and Levi's? :D
Anchor Bait lol
Probably just naked.
Theres never a time where you can't flex that cool stuff on you
As someone with a 40" 4k Monitor, it is honestly freaking awesome. It's like the difference between writing on a clipboard and writing on a large desk. There's just so much space. It makes multi tasking a completely different proposition. I'll often have a web browser, a text/code editor, a terminal and a video player open side by side. And not all tightly snug and fit together like in the video. Spread out around the screen it makes it feel like I have this giant, open space to work in. It really does illicit that experience of working on a large desk with multiple books and papers just randomly placed wherever seems convenient. It has done more to transform how I use my computer than any other technical innovation of the past 15 years. I doubt I will ever go back to a smaller screen for my main desktop.
But can it run cry-
But can it display crysis?
Not enough ram.
Doubt it can run Minesweeper at max settings
But can DIS-play crysis? *
Another comment thread of children
i liked it when it was 666
what is wrong with the background music ?
too loud and the rythem of it kills Linue's speach and distracts me so much
Its like LTT has been downgraded to the crappy production quality of so many other amateur channels
then you got crappy speakers. my speakers were about 16€ and i can understand linus very well.
I couldn't hear any music until max volume
Our brain should be able to filter out the music when you focus on his speech .... I guess yours can't
i am not saying it's bad, i am saying it's loud
Basicly:
Past: I want a monitor which can be used as TV.
Present:
I want a TV which can be used as monitor
@KevinMulia *Basically*
I want a tv because I can hang it on the wall of my bedroom
Another solid video, loving the return to form. Keep it up LTT!
The music in this video was super distracting.
I think linus is going through a tv phase
Thankfully this negative review drove the price down. Thanks Linus!
What is up with the background music, chill out Editors
Lol 😂
Agreed. Silence is golden. There people should learn to Quiet Their Minds. People who can't sit still and allow the silences to carry meaning are the ones who have lack of impulse control and the attention span of a goldfish. So yeah, mostly Americans.
MOSTLY AMERICANS? lol that is one of the broadest statements I have ever heard. Sure most kids have the attention spans of goldfish, but 70% of the world does not have good attention spans, not mostly Americans.
@@dreamfunction4491 lol calm down dollar-store Socrates
And here I am still using 1080p
I'm over here watching at 480p
F I S H Well, it's still todays stantard.
Me too bud!
same
I'm not upgrading resolution until 1440p becomes standard
I know what I should buy
Actual friends
Holy shit you can buy those?
th-cam.com/video/pBrU9laptGI/w-d-xo.html
sapnu puas read it upside down
wow I need this
Does it come with RGB?
I have been rocking a 50in Vizio TV as my monitor for about a year now. And at a fraction of of what one of these "hybrid" tv/monitors cost. I love it.
Bought it, great monitor, I love it. Fast enough for space-type games (Elite, Stellaris). Windows still has some scaling issues that needs to be sorted out.
Not a fan of the background music
The shitty background music has to stop.
someone is salty, slightly
I've just bough this (a bit late to the game) because a certain virus outbreak has me working from home. It's brilliant for that. I installed PowerTools and used Fancy Zones to create 6 usable snap zones on my monitor to display several web pages or remote desktop sessions. I don't game, really, apart from Risk and the odd RPG so paying an extra £400-£1k for a similar sized high refresh panel was not worth it and my desk won't fit a Samsung 49" super ultrawide although that would have been awesome but also twice the price. The only gripe I have is the coil whine if I connect my laptop via USB C, but it's silent using displayport connectivity with my desktop.
Love the fact that you make these videos, was trying to decide between LG 43UD79-B and Samsung CHG90 and your two videos have help me choose a better option, thanks.
*THE MUSIC IS TOO MUCH*
Yo I'm sorry Linus. I'll mind my own business next time
LOL
not you you tool
After i used this monitor i cant go back to smaller screens... even a 32 inch panel feels so little i cant bear. This monitor is feels like i have a cinema in my desk and It takes the immersion to the next level. 10/10
I laughed way harder than I should have when Linus said "Bright. NESS."
Note that this monitor has BGR panel instead of RGB so you have to tweak subpixel antialiasing settings in pretty much every app that has its own configuration.
I think you missed a crucial feature of this monitor, the possibility of having 4 different devices connected at once without the bezel.
Sure this feature isn't that much of a deal for the regular user but for software developers having for example 3 computers with windows, linux and macOS + connecting his laptop or mobile phone to the extra screen and then having all those machines connected with a logitech keyboard switching machines easily or even using one of the products sponsoring you Synergy (you missed a shot here xd) to connect all the devices including the mobile one (android even though not officialy supported) is a big productive workflow.
But as you said some people will actually enjoy this for a monitor and some people will dislike it depending on their needs.
Exactly.
When coding, I like to have all my text layed out, I don't want to scroll and work of my memory.
Kevin Hinojosa th-cam.com/video/D9u1vX-pvLs/w-d-xo.html
And for any reason an user want to have 4 monitores as one. As me, and why? just one example, gaming, for me, as I play FHD and love have other screens as support for streaming, having TS window open to watch it, or even have youtube playing at full screen while playing, or anything else than multiple screens can afford. And the best of all, you have the same color range for all screens, no more annoying different colors between screens. For me having 4 screens FHD isn't the same as one UHD resolution, for working. One thing you can't get is, having a full screen video using UHD, unless you turn off multi screen and use it as one screen.
mig4ng damn I can make a bigger computer
Planning on buying the newer model (43UN700-TB) for Software Development too, precisely for displaying 2 code windows (bottom), 1 browser for the web app (top-right), and another window for googling or chat/e-mail (top-left). I can sit 2.5ft away from this monitor, do you think I would be able to use all 4 windows with minimal neck turns and head-zooming? For that workflow, I'm torn between LG 43UN700-B that now has HDR, and LG 34WN750 which is a 1440p ultrawide.
Links for the two:
LG 43UN700-B 4k 43in: www.amazon.com/LG-43UN700-B-Display-Type-C-inputs/dp/B0821WWXV6
LG 34WN750 1440p 34in (75hz): www.amazon.com/LG-34WN750-B-UltraWide-Monitor/dp/B08BCR1SJS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
One issue with this display is that the ~8 pixels on the left and right don't have backlight behind them. The backlight is kind of far back from the panel, and I have it as far back on my desk as I can, but at that distance the parallax leaves those pixels unlighted. I use it for terminal windows with small borders and it was cutting off the left letter. I found an unsupported mode in the i3 window manager that allowed me to effectively shrink the display size to eliminate those areas. I've had the display about 6 months now and really like it.
Been using a 1080p 46" for 7 years... and love it. been thinking about getting a newer one (4k normal, 1080p gaming) and relocate the current one.
46" Full HD LED* TV with PVR and SRS Audio (100Hz Full HD Panel)
Inputs... Headphones, USB, HDMI, HDMI, Y, Pv, Pr, PC Audio, VGA. With a Remote and Picture in Picture, nice and simple but works for my setup.
Working on other peoples computers with tiny 24-30" does my head in now after getting used to it.
Wtf is this background music?
It's damn distracting
Its a good song but never should be background music
I liked it and did not find it distracting.
It was fine in the beginning, but around the 5 minute mark as Linus was just talking to camera it got really annoying. My ears just wanted some LGR background music to relax.
I am conflicted
I'd just treat it as 4x 1080p monitors without bezel
wow! i liked this immediately, i was searching for this very topic earlier today!
an actual input lag measurement mentioned in the video would be nice.
jdestef I’m watching this in 2020 to understand this input lag thing. I have a gaming laptop that I’ve tried to hook up to my tv, the entertainment side was fine but any game had ridiculous lag. I just got a optiplex and installed a 1080 in it I wish it was amd but oh well.
Hard to focus on the content with that pretty jarring background music.
I agree, someone was on weed while making this video apparently.
I actually liked the music, and will not say NO if it stays for future videos
I liked the music but I do agree it was kinda distracting....
I like the music too, but its distracting to the video. not a very good view experience with the music that makes you want to get out of your seat and dance.
I came here to say this. It sounds like someone fast-forwarding an Audio Cassette tape.
Of all things you didn't dive into, you didn't bother to talk about the hardware split screen at all (besides the quick mention) which is the real selling point of this monitor. I'm a software engineer by day and a gamer by night and I currently have four 1080 monitors in a grid and it's a hassle to setup, move, and maintain. I've thought about switching to a 4k TV but because of input lag, response times, and the fact that a full 4k display right in your face is a bad idea- I've had no desire. However, this monitor checks all of my boxes because it isn't just a 4k display, it can be used in various configurations like 4x1080.
... And yet you didn't bother to talk about it. Just because it doesn't work for you and your video editing doesn't mean it doesn't have value outside of that. I have browsers, terminals, debug windows, discord/slack, sublime, etc running at all times on different displays when I'm working and just as much on my other displays whem I'm gaming.
I'm rather annoyed. I'm glad Kyle (Bitwit) talked about it (and gave some really great detail) - but I really wanted you guys to dive deep into the hardware split screen that the LG panel provides which gives the monitor value outside of being a glorified TV.
Anthony Mattera excellent point. I've bee using software split screen. Pretty good also.
same thing i was thinking... i got 1 laptop that i use for work (coding and stuff), a surface pro, currently hooked up to a series 7 40" samsung, and - hopefully soon - a gaming rig for.. well, gaming and personal projects and even though i'm planning on setting up proper monitors for that, the option to get rid of the TV, get something like this for when I need to use all of the machines together (happens quite frequently) or just do proper window splitting would be nice.. heck: even have the ps4 on on a quarter and something like discord on pc on another one would be nice.
Philips has been selling the BDM4037UW and the Flat version of it for about a year now, I fail to see why this video pretends this is something new
That is because, unfortunately, Linus didn't go over what makes this better than the other split screen (PBP) display on the market (Such as the the Phillips BDM4037UW and the Dell P4317Q)
1. Better Input Support
2. Better Input Lag (Kyle talks about this)
3. A Better Display Panel
4. (And the most important) More modes than just 4k or 4x1080 (or strange modes like the Dell has)
Example: they have a mode where you can have two 1080 displays at the top and have 1 ultrawide 3840x1080 display at the bottom (or two ultrawides top and bottom). This is cool if I want to have a ultrawide display for gaming but still have 1080x4 for development, CAD/SolidWorks, Design/Modeling, etc.
You can see these examples on LGs website www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-43UD79-B-4k-uhd-led-monitor
I just wanted to see this in action. They have both a software and hardware mode for these split screen items and it would have been really cool to see this demoed. He just didn't bother because it doesn't fit his criteria of what he thinks a 'prosumer' is.
Indeed that is very interesting, I have been looking to replace my array of various monitors for various tasks (from gaming to an eizo one) with one to "rule them all". Especially if this has acceptable blur and I can game on it as well as do my work in split screen comfortably (Software developing). Which was rather lacking on both ends in the Philips model with the blur and all, and the horrid menus/software.
Thank you for pointing out the differences.
as I have mentioned before: moving a larger screen back might give you the same viewing angle thus detail and size as a smaller screen with same pixel count BUT, it is easier on the eyes since your relaxed focal distance (of the eyes) is infinity and thus it is much more relaxing to look at something futher away!
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Hassan Gideon i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Hassan Gideon it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Fabian Ledger Happy to help xD
gonna upgrade to this (or something like it) from my dual vertical 24" 1920x1200 screens.
gotta admit I am a fan of seeable pixels + no display scaling and really can use the screen space.
also, adjusting brighness with two buttons on a remote is much better than crawling through an OSD (aside from screenbright + DDC/CI).
Seeing that poor CRT broken kills me...
That monitor is BIGGER than our livingroom tv AND is 4k instead of 1080p
Niels Blankenstijn our tv is 44 inch and its starts looking small
Our is is like 27" lol
Dennis8844 i remember when our 10yr old 36" tv was called an impressively big one with thin beazels and a 16:9 aspect ratio with an amazing resolution of 1920x1080. xD
Manuel Auer My family's been using a huge 720p 16:9 CRT
It's still looks and functions like new at 12 years later. Great for games too due to the low input lag.
Actually... 768.
I'm watching this on phill, as a programmer I really love the screen real estate, a browser on half of the screen and eclipse on the other half. I agree with Linus though, big screens are not for everyone, for gaming I actually run the monitor in a custom widescreen resolution with black bars on top and bottom, so that in essence the experience is the same. I recommend a beefy VESA arm for those looking for adjustability
I used a 43" Samsung TV as a monitor for about 6 months for software development work. I liked it and I would use it again. The glossy screen was the key downside, so look for a matte screen. A lesser irritation was that it acted like a TV: It would turn off after a period of inactivity. To use it again, I could not just wiggle my mouse or press a key, I had to turn it on again using the remote.
bro i got this monitor its AMAZING i tell you for me it was not too big BUT it didnt had to be bigger
Someone over at LTT *really* likes Monstercat
I'm pretty sure it's ed. He has worn the hat in alot of videos.
most of them do AFAIK
they likely have a contract to use their music, so if they pay royalties to them why not use the music?
It's like $15 a month - also, they're both in vancouver
This wasn't me. =P Check the credits at the end.
I've had a 40 inch 4k monitor for some time now, its awesome.
5:20 - not necessarily. Focusing farther away is less strain on your eyes, so I've been leaning towards larger/further monitors recently.
Moving the screen further away from you has benefits. Say you're farsighted and you can't read something that's too close to your face. Well, a bigger monitor can be moved further away from you without needing font size adjustments. I even went so far as to wall mount my monitor to get those few extra inches of distance that those stupid tripod monitor stands couldn't give me and I'm way happier for it.
and they said i was crazy when I got a 42" 4k HDR tv to use on my table of computer desk.
I love it, I can lay in bed and watch stuff as easily as I can play videogames at my desk.
It's smart too so I can just cast from my phone or use the built in apps! No mouse needed.
Dalton McCabe me too!!!
if you don't read anything at your pc, ok...
I'm considering this for my PS4 Pro! I'm really tempted.
Been using pretty much this for just over a year... it's great for music production. When you're working with Protools it's nice to have the vertical real-estate, to have more sends and inserts, as well as the horizontal space for a load of channels set to jumbo. Especially since in a studio you're a fair bit further back with all the controllers or mixing surfaces you may have. Then again, my previous setup was two 21.5 inch 1080p monitors... though it dosn't feel like I lose anything important when I go from my retina macbook...
I love my 43" 4k IPS monitor by Acer. It's how 4k should be enjoyed.
Probably really nice in security sector where you need to view a lot of cameras at same time.
I need a GIF of that coax cable plug in and TV reveal bit lmao
Im with 40" 1080P LCD with a distance of 80cm from it, and its great! in the future i defiantly buy a 4k 40-43"
Monitor's are seriously behind TV's right now (picture quality, hdr, etc). I just bought a new "monitor" last week. I had to buy a Sony x900e because no monitor had HDR, oled (ips is fine, but not perfect with their light bleed, etc), 4k with a higher rate then 60 (future proofing), etc etc. Still waiting to see how the new QLED/HDR monitors do. But since all the QLED TV's are edge lit, I am not holding my breath.
Linus, could you please also review the Dell P4317Q?
LG has always been great at producing relatively low-latency TVs. I'm really glad they're now working on large-screen monitors.
I love the lighting in your set, it gives you that healthy red crab glow
The moment you realize your actual biggest tv is a 42" 1080p
4:15 should actually be "Wider than it is tall", not the other way around like you said it.
Would it be possible to use two of these with one computer, effectively having 8 split screens?
Didn't learn anything about UD, but I definitely enjoyed the shenanigans.
BTW Costco in Brooklyn has the tcl c series for $450
Who else is watching this video on their LG43UD79-B 42.5" 4K UHD LED IPS Monitor?
I'm watching it on my LG 32" 1080p tv :D
I'm watching it on my 55" Haier 4k tv that I got for $250.
Thanks man u helped me at the right time i was confused . r u from linus? Or jst saw my comment??
i'v been gaming & entertaining on my 43 in. tv for over 1 yr, & i love it. Till today i never knew the difference between monitors & tv's @3:28
It has a feature you aren't going to find on a tv though... Display port. With the majority of videocards only having one hdmi port, and numerous display ports, If you want to do something like vr without a bunch of adapters or cable switching, you're pretty well up a creek.
Duh, converter? I know money but it is not impossible and if you can afford a VR headset ...
what kind of low end shitty card are you getting with only one hdmi???
msi seahawk 1080 ti only has one hdmi. I wasn't aware it was a shitty and cheap card...
m.newegg.com/products/N82E16814125987 funny I have 3 Hdmi and 3 DP on my 1080ti plus better clocks
Good for you. You may not have the aforementioned problem, but many others do.
3:33 ahh the 90s
upgrading next month thx Linus, but can it run crysis on high?
Buying a larger screen with the intention of setting it farther back is a tremendous tool to prevent to eye strain. It made an enormous difference for me in terms of eye strain and headaches.
i use a 40 inch 1080 LCD same here im 9 ft from the screen response is excellent on monitor setting and no eye strain and unlike LED screen i have never had a picture shadow ever.
Get rid of the music
If you're complaining that stuff doesn't fit in your FOV, why not just use it like an ultrawide and shorten your program windows, then use the top space for a clock, music controls, lyrics, etc.
Or sit a few inches further while being able to see the whole screen without tilting your head.
I currently have a 43UJ63 43" TV as monitor, it's 15ms Response, I can agree to this, having a screen at this size makes it very easy to make extra use of the resolution like keeping the scaling at 100% and make use of the pixels. So when using 4k with a monitor/tv of this size it's very versitile and as you said if u want it in your field of view just ignore the top or place something there , like in my case I can program and have 3 documentation documents open at once increasing productivity even with my second monitor
...or just buy a monitor that perfectly fits your preferred FoV at the set distance you choose. Seems rather silly to buy one that's too big with extra money then make accommodations after.
but NCIX Review said it has Free-Sync, which one is it?
I have got the Iiyama ProLite X4071UHSU-B1 40" 4k monitor, and I cannot say I have any difficulty working with it from a small distance. I like the space I have and I can watch 4K content.
im just happy i can watch youtube on my raspberry pi at 480p
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED!! A giant monitor to watch Netflix❤️
TV?
robert linke no, in Italy you pay a tax if you have a TV and I don’t wanna pay for it
with a 4K tv, you can watch 4K youtube if you A. hook a pc to it, or B. it is a smart tv. and movies depend on the qality of the medium you get them on, did you download it in 1080p, it will be 1080, do you have a blue-ray with 4K, it will still be 4K. and a TV has image processing making the image much better then on a standard monitor, at the cost of input lag. so, a tv is still better. and on the tax, they will allways find a new way to tax you, welcome in the age of of govermental stealing.
I understand your point, but with a monitor like this that is more or less factory calibrated you can avoid paying 90 euro/year of taxes to have an object that you use like a monitor anyway! I never ever watch TV, only tv series/movies
Such a nice video every day i watch your videos and all is great i learned about pc and more.Thank You Linus Tech Tips!!!
Question..would the q70 qled 49 inch -- or the q80 55"make a good monitor? I am just wondering if it would be to big..thanks Doug,,keep up the great work!!
About moving it further back vs. buying a smaller monitor:
The thing is, it's not that much expensive compared to a let's say 32", so I don't feel like you waste money if you move it further back. I don't have it *on* my desk but just behind it with a VESA tripod. Gives a nice workspace and clean setup
the music is really annoying
I like the addition of background music 👍🏻 maybe have some less hectic music for a chilled video like this one 👍🏻
Very nice review linus-team. Can u do such video for the asus mx34vq or/and pg348q. More interested in the mx34vq tho.
With a hint to gsync worth it or not. Would like to hear your comment on this Monitor because there is no serious techyoutuber out there who did that.
Best regards
Maxwell
You'd pay the extra just for the fact its not a "smart" tv that spies and advertises to you all day long...
LG Sells cheap models with IPS display with no "Smart" in them , I bought one , saved 150 for not having Software , But i also have just 1 HDMI in =S
MYRNE - Confessions? Good choice :3
It must be good for cockpitbuilders.
Hey Linus, want to test cards and rigs?, why do you not test with prepared3 flight simulator and dense addons.
We need a word like Phablet for the space between TV and Monitor.
Monitov ? Tonitor ?
Tronitor. I like that
Marc W. Monitv
umm should i buy this monitor or a tv?
ha screw it im going to buy the monitor :V
a tv is still fine to watch some crisp blurays
TVs usually only have HDMI; monitor has DP so you can get 60fps @4k
not everyone has even the rig to run 4k at 60 fps
I only have a 670GTX and it does fine; and while yes, even that is in a top percentage of people... it's not exactly cutting edge.
juuvittu nice profile pic bro
What's the lag input and refresh rate? Is it good for gaming? Or should I just get the lg sm9000?
i might buy this to mount ontop of my current setup to use as a extra display/tv that fits.
I have been using 30 inch 2560*1600 (Dell Ultrasharp 3007WFP) between 2006 and 2014 then did I switch over to 50 inch 4k TV. It was both better and worse. Due to old age I am in need of glasses, but by moving the TV farther away I could maintain the pixel density and have more pixels that's a help for vision and still avoid glasses (for a few years more). The 50 inch TV was flat and limited to HDMI 1.4 and that is 30Hz (290X then a 970), that's not good enough, so in December 2015 it was time for a upgrade to a curved 55 inch Samsung 4k TV and a new graphics card 1060 (I don´t play at all, mostly electronic CAD work, and office stuff) to get 4k and 60Hz (over HDMI). Much better and I would not recommend anybody to use any screen above 30 inch to be of the non-curved type. So old age and its related issues is a god reason to get a bigger screen and a lot of nice stuff come for "free" then (always nice to switch to 4k Netflix series to relax).
Using a 42" LG TV as monitor at 1m viewing distance for 8 years and I am very happy with it (picture quality similar to Apple cinema display after adjustments). But a curved TV would definitely be a big + for use as a monitor at close distance...
That CRT couldve been used for Melee
I have one exactly like it, functional too
lol my first thought when I saw it was "Blur wouldn't have liked this"
ehhhh not really that was a Digital CRT they had lag on them about a frame or so still better than modern day tvs
Can I ask why CRT's are preferred over all over displays for playing SSBM? Does it have something to do with input lag or refresh rate or something?
basically yeah
I was wondering when you would get around to this.
This shines in what my current set up is which is a pc hooked up to a 32" tv across from my bed 4' when I'm sitting on the end of my bed to 6' when I'm laying back and it perfect for watching videos and playing games so I feel like that monitor would be perfect for a set up like this nit so much on a desk right up in your face

I would say RS232 is also huge in digital signage, all those signs on the side of the highway use it so the player PC can adjust brightness and monitor the display and for indoor use to make sure the screen is on, or off at night, and ensure it's on the right input.
I got a 32" Monitor coming! (I remix/produce and Love to be able to See EVERYTHING). This will help when I start video editing too :D

No G or Free Sync?

Riasat Salmin Sami I read that it did have freesync.
You don't need them if you have a nVidia GPU. You can use A-Sync.
