4:20 this must have been the inspiration for south park warcraft episode XD
Thats one sturdy table
I was too concentrated on the sexy pose
I think it's like 2 massive dinner tables it looks just like my families old one
Yup, those are Ikea Dinner tables. Jerry mentioned it in a video or two (I think in his room tour video).
my thoughts
HAHAAHAHAAA
Thanks for keeping this video up - I used it 2 years ago to work out a problem with my 4k tv/pc monitor. And found myself reviewing the video again to set up my new 4k tv.
I'm always impressed with the mountain of knowledge you have. And it's very specific info too, like model numbers, pixel density measurements, native frame rates, etc. Heck, I struggle to remember more than six items at the grocery store without jotting it down.
Well done.
Also, I love that pic of Jay at 2:05.
I have 1 4K screen. I won't even lie the first thing I did was find 4K porn...
+Peter Quill (starlord) how is the vr? Seems gimmicky but people trying to sell them to us arent saying that OR saying it's good.
+Shawn Jones also steam reviews praise vr but steam is mostly 6-12 year olds and they would say a literal turd in a plastic bag for $40 was a good purchase
wait until 4k support 10 bits color depth and high dynamic rang ( 4k porno will be much more realistic ) .
Why have i not done this yet?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! BRB...
رمضان الله يهديك
3 screens are for poor people! Great Vid Jer.
😆😆
25 screens are where it's at!.
+TheDogeGamer you mean your whole wall...
no, 3 walls.
You missed out the floor and ceiling... And while we're at it we may as well just live in VR and have virtual screens. So what is the max resolution of each eye cause we need that on each eye.
while im not using UHD TVs, i am using Samsung HD TV/Monitors i got from costco a while ago along side some curved monitors. this video helped with my screen matching issues a ton, never knew that all those TV settings had such an adverse effect on the image, and setting them to off or neutral settings really solved my problems!
It makes me to happy to see this from someone that knows what they are talking about! I purchased a Sony XBR-49X830C that I've been using as a monitor and I've read negative comments, and disturbing information about how I did the wrong thing and made me second guess everything I spent hours searching about differences and input lags and you really made a smile on my face knowing that despite all the mayhem about how wrong it is, that it's really just as good as I originally thought! I got on the remote and double checked all the settings made some adjustments and I'm once again inspired. I am running a EVGA 970 SC and it actually runs any game I've thrown at it very well at 4K but I am planning on buying a 1080 MSI or Gigabyte water cooled card once they are actually instock and for sale so I can really see what 4k gaming is all about. Thank You Barnacules!
I think something that doesn't get mentioned enough is PWM backlighting. The majority of even 4K tvs still use this which causes eye strain and bad motion clarity. Most modern monitors use DC backlighting which solves these issues and are usually branded as flicker free.
Once I plugged my laptop into a "40 LED I can't imagine using anything smaller for my desktop setup.
I just wanted to say that i am not a gamer or that into PCs for that matter but i watched this entire video and was interested the entire time. I love that you can just talk about this stuff. Very smart, very cool. I learned some stuff today
This was excellent. I've been doing this 22 years and used to do TV company rep work professionally as well. I've literally told people every point you covered (particularly about PPI) and love to laugh when they ignore me and go buy something they won't be happy with.
Again, great video. 100% PERFECT
PS: i'm personally still hoping SONY will bring their CLEDIS tech back to TV's, the tech was originally demoed opposite a Plasma and was amazing.
For now, those CANVAS walls are something I want to see in person. That doesn't have the aging issues of OLED.
Bustin makes me feel good!
Haters gonna hate, I'm just gonna sit back and potate in front of my 50" screens :P
I watch a lot of youtubers, you're the only one to have those magnificent and tricky 3 screens.
700$? that is half of 34 inch gsync monitors. I wonder if you ever used them long enough to compare. I mean you probably have tested it but it's different when using it daily. I am contemplating between this 2 option.
4K 50" over here in MY is horribly expensive it's almost the same price as the Acer 34 gsync
My 55" 4K OLED (with 0.02ms response time) does me fine. One day I'll have 3 :)
0.02 ms response time and 30-50ms input lag.
Finally got around to using a 40” 4k tv as my monitor and what a game changer. Should’ve listened to you 3 years ago lol.
Wow been looking online forever and couldnt figure it out. Watched your video for like two minutes and its fixed. Thanks.
I need a mouse that is directly soldered to the cpu
I wish he gave a model #
yeah me to
As cool as 4k sounds... I couldn't give up 1440p at 165hz... :D
"2.5K" is still better than 1080p yeah :)
lol same :D
Rocking PG279Q!
1440p it's the best everyday stuff, 4k still has many scaling/size problems imo
agreed......personally the 1440p and high refresh rate beats out more pixels with lower refresh/fps
for me i couldn't give up 42" & 4K for 27" plus 144hz
best way is to buy both for different kind of games
Barn, this video is excellent. Thank you!!! The information is priceless. Your excessively overblown obnoxious system is seriously - awesome!!!
Due to your video I made the plunge and got a 55 inch 4k tv . It replaced my 4 other screens smaller. Wow you are right! Crisp image. HDMI 2.1. 60 Hertz. No lag on game mode. I have a smaller 27 inch screen on the side if I want to fire up someing else. My HP omen gaming laptop I diving the screen without an problems. Thank you Sir...your tips and tricks have helped me a lot.
We're all jealous of your setup Barn Nerd. Soo Jealous!! ;'(
+Ragaman but you didn't explain
Ragaman
You're totally right. I'm still jealous that he gets to give that setup all the love instead of me though. So we're both right and wrong ;?
Collin Halligan
Googles better at explaining things nehow ;)
You look like Jesus
ATH-camUSER
That's why my name starts with 'Christ' ;D
4:20 all i can picture is that wow player from south park!!!! lol, i would love to see that setup in person
You and Jay are the only real tech geeks on TH-cam! Not salesmen.
If I had the room for this, like my own mancave, I'd do this in a heartbeat. Very impressive!
Tony Stark: How do you see all this?
Barnacules: I turn.
Tony: Sounds exhausting.
Hahaha I had to laugh, because that actually was pretty much in the movie. xD
Is it me or the screens look small in front of Barnacules. 😉😬😉. Awesome Video as always :)
BTW Barnacules you are awesome :).
That's because he is fucking huge
+davidtburr ya haha
I could tell you're a foreigner by your terrible writing.
+RD Pnoy ?
Can't believe I'm just watching this now. I too have been using this as a secondary computer monitor to my Asus ROG Gaming Laptop. Been using it this way for the past 3 almost 4 years. I bought the same Samsung UHD TV on a black Friday and have been enjoying it as my PC monitor since I got it.
Great video, I have just one Samsung 40" 4K monitor and love it for many of the same reasons you speak about. Once you have these, anything smaller is no longer of interest. Yours is superb.
32" 1080p IPS HDTV here, really happy with it, except that I'd love to go triple screen, but the model is old and no longer sold, and also has pretty thick bezels, any suggestions?
GodOfGamingBG stick with one display. Maybe get a ultrawide monitor?
+Nathan Chesshir I recently heard that Samsung is working on a new 49" quantum dot monitor with 32:9 aspect ratio and 3840x1080 resolution, from my calculations that would equal having two 27" 1080p monitors side by side with no bezel in the middle, I hope it would be good
GodOfGamingBG lol I still have a 7 year old 24inch monitor. Really need a upgrade
I use a 48" 1080p setup. I have to get really close to the screen to see pixels. I jumped on the TV as a monitor a good while ago. Bigger is better for display panels. I don't miss the 21" limit that VGA CRT's seemed to have back in the day.
The only drawback is you can't do high refresh like 120-144hz. I would love it if I could do 1080p at 120hz on a 50" screen. And that's native, no interpolation.
Barnacules Nerdgasm Oh wow! The man himself answers me. I see no drawback. I've never had a display capable of higher than 60 fps, thus have no frame of comparison. I don't have enough cash flow to start testing them either. I already put most of my loose change into geekish gadgets.
At the distance I sit from my 55 inch I think it might be a little too big. Mostly that it is so wide. The tv flanking me on my right side is ok but back to the corners where they meet is somewhat of a hard spot to see without moving my eyes to look directly at it.
I have a 5.5 inch 1080p phone and I can see the pixels
Rot_Bear you're a dumbass bigger is not better you could have gotten a 144hz 1080p monit for less than you paid and if you are gaming on pc with a 60hz tv I pitty you
You are the man Jerry i feel so much more confident about my plan for my setup!
So thanks to you, I went out and got a 58" 4k full array panel that supports 10 bit color and 60hz. I have found heaven. Use it as a AUX monitor and still have my NVidia surround setup. just switch back and forth by setting primary. Even has game mode that gets rid of all lag. Thanks :)
I'm currently using a 55'' tv for my monitor and I find it more comfortable then a small computer monitor
ZeroGamer what about your eyes
ZeroGamer That's massive strain on your eyes
Then wear blue light glasses
Ive got a sony 65" 4k tv. Works great with my ps4pro nswitch and my pc. Got a i74790k gtx 1060 6gb . lovely
@@paulattree4171 Congrats?
I love how he asks fos donations to suport his family but has this setup
For real like Fuck that lol
What a fantastic how-to video! Really informative and well done!! Thanks so much for posting!
You are without a doubt the absolute coolest nerd I’ve seen yet on TH-cam. And your videos are so funny!

"If you have an OLED option that's not too expensive..."
Now a year later--damn OLED you expensive.
Worth it
Great videos dude. When i have a bad day i come to ur channel and u make my day better because u really have the knowledge and great sense of humour which make a great combo. Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
Using a 40'' tv as a monitor since 2011 Now looking to upgrade.
This video answered all my questions about my transition to 4k :-)
As a note , DPI scaling works quite well on Mac , its not perfect but it does work. Its crap on windows tho , s shame !
Agreed, unsure why Microsoft cannot get it right, each OS release and it just as bad...I was really hoping Windows 10 would fix it but its still horrible. OSX scales perfectly.
Mac is crap though, shame.
+MadFinnTech depends what you are after. I've worked in IT for 25sh years with Windows and for the last 7 I've owned a Mac for use at home, wouldn't go back.

Con #1: Price
How have you not reached one million subscribers yet? Definitely well deserved.
I‘m from the future, he is on ca. 900,000 subs right now. The one million isn’t far away my friend!
Awesome. I've been on a 65 inch LG 3D 4K TV as monitor for almost 3 years. Still love it. I finally picked up a new TV 43" 4K LG TV for my old gaming box, to use as productivity machine. You covered all the important parts! Nice job. Wish I had seen it sooner. I'd like to mention that you also need a very good (not most expensive) HDMI 2.0 cable. I bought a few different 15Ft ones, before I found one that worked flawlessly (Amazon Basics HDMI 2.0, was the winner). I wish TV manufacturers gave better specs (input lag).. I mean, it makes sense to, even for them!?
so at 00:18 is the flickering on the right side tv normal?
That looked more like screen tearing due to VSYNC not being on.
I think that tearing was his wallet.
actually, it's a panel issue. some panels like sony as well can have graphical glitches when showing 60hz 4k. just turning the panel "tv" off then on again fixes the issue in 99.9% of instances.
im not impressed, if you had 3 98 inch 4k ips 235hz for 40000$ would be ok for me
40k $ is for each tv
I'm pretty sure he doesn't have that kind of money
+Thief Lmao that was a joke...
sounds like something Linus would do
but he would need 3 hdmi cables, so $3000
Good god, this is bringing back flashbacks with my own Samsung 4k setup....I Office Spaced that damn TV...with a wrench. Hated that damn thing so bad, zero regret in losing the sunk cost and upgrading to a TV that just worked out of the box.
You are very knowledgeable, I enjoyed learning and your banter
you should get wallpaper engine
0:18 the monitor on the right has screen tearing.
this is the first video I have seen of yours and I subscribed great video I love 4k TVs for gaming to the smile I got when I played battlefield was priceless my legs were shaking I had... a nerdgasm lol keep up the good work man
Great video Jerry, thank you for taking the time and effort to make it.
I see too much tearing when you turn quickly. see 22:10. that's pretty bad. Love the big screen real estate, but can't handle compromises like that esp when running SLI costs that bloody much. no gsync I take it for these TVs?
the tearing would be the same on any 3x4k screens as a function of the video cards output fps.
we've only had g-sync for the last 2 years so i guess all gaming was shit before that huh?
could actually just be in the video... strange shit happens when you film a screen. because that would be the worst tearing ive ever seen!
+Toms Tech I had tearing happen in most my sli multi monitor gaming sessions I think. Long before 4k but I was running a 2200x1080 type resolution that was pushing modern tech boundaries.
i myself play (older titles) on my 560ti sli PC on 3 1680x1050 monitors (for example bf 3 runs on high settings with 60-90fps) i think there isnt any... at least i dont see anything :D
@@tomstech4390 Bedtime for you, little Tommy.
1st... Damn, I waited to long... #QQ
You're not the first one anymore :p Better luck next time
i didn't know you were a french girl
id hope your first... you did post it! lulz
Barnacules doesn't those big TV's mess with your eyes while gaming?
to long or not to long
Quick to the point great presentation. Awesome video
I just love the sound effects 😄
I have no problem with my 27" 4k ;)
Nice video, Jerry.
hz?
?
+EposVox of the monitor
60hz. like probably 99% of worthwhile 4k monitors....
that's my problem with 4k monitors atm
9:10 what a bullshit , OLED for a PC today will be a mistake , OLED BURN IN , all your desktop icons will just burn in to the screen , about input lag on time of making this video input lag was about 40-60ms , this is not good at all , by end of 2016 LG did firmware update and 2016 OLED models get about 35-40ms input lag after update. models 2017 LG OLED will have 21ms input lag and this is nice but can be MUCH lower because pixel speed is less than 0.01ms , and hope they will fix this burn in problems.
I think I am gonna have to watch this again. I didn't understand most of what you said but feel I need to change the settings on my TV, lol.
thanks, did not realize 4 4 4, was needed for clear headache less text. Most important for me.... you did good. thanks again.
Correction *actual* 4K is 4096x2304
script to fix nvidia juize yaaaaY! huge vote from me! gogo
I've been using two 60inch 4k, totally agree...I do graphics / design as a living and with 60Hz you can't tell a lot of difference, and in some cases at all.
I'm not using all screens for gaming but You inspired me when I first watched this video 3 accounts ago...lmao I have a 65" 4k tv for the center and a 32" on either side of it. The main video card runs the center screen for gaming. A second cheapie card of the same series runs the two side screens. I did two cards because when you do this you get more power for gaming and you can still access the side screens during gaming to do whatever ya need.
"people who shouldn't do it" Poor peopl elike me xD
TVs are ideal for poor people they might just have to stop at one
4:15 Eric cartman
I grew up in the olden days when TVs only had 525x480i resolution and 25 inches was considered a big screen. Modern 4K is mind blowing to me.
that's a nice setup mate. I respect the guy with brain how uses it to sped the money wisely. that's two thumbs up bro
I'm from the future, sorry to say but screens disappear about 15 years from now. :/ Everything's holo presence now. No physical screens. Heh.
Seriously though, awesome setup man! :)
+youtubasoarus virtual reality is the future. Just need a few more years to fine tune the technology. I'm convinced of this.
I am really hyped for virtual reality, but I personally don't think it is a replacement. There are a few downsides that simply cannot be ruled out by technology. Or well, to be more clear - that _I_ cannot see a solution for, heh.
Great video dude, thank you!
Just going to say you look really good!!! Looks like you've made great progress with weight loss. :) Good stuff.

"Nobody should ever need more than 320x200 amber & black." - Bill Gates
I remember green and black too. In fact when my office went to colour monitors we all suddenly got eyestrain and headaches. Early colour monitors were shite. I wanted the green and black ones back
Thank you for this! Great job and energy. Glad I stumbled on your video, SUBSCRIBED.
just subscribed man..great video .
like your style and humor.
thanks .
I use "my" 80 inch UHD TV as a monitor. (ok it isn`t mine, I don`t have 5k for a TV, but my dad uses it abour twice a year as a demo tv ^^
The only problem is that you need five gtx1080s to run this thing.
Nvidia only supports 2-way SLI now officially so that won't happen :(
+Barnacules Nerdgasm you could dedicate multiple to physx, not necessarily sli. Would be a waste of $ tho. Are you going to get puget to build you another beast with 1080s?
I agree, it's a waste of money. I'm running a main 1080p 144hz monitor and a second 720p 60hz one. And it's running on a HD6970
+Barnacules Nerdgasm NVIDIA only support 2 way SLI. That means they only code there drivers to utilise 2 1080s. If a program, say Firestrike, is coded with it's own algorithms then all 3/4 1080s will be utilised. It's not that it doesn't work, it's that the official 1st party drivers aren't written to support 3/4 way SLI because of the past problems with it.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm you can still do 4way sli, you just have to apply for an enthusiast key
Well this is one hell of an extreme informative video. Well done!
those tvs are outdated... HDR
John Dough not yet
HDR can be done by the computer itself actually. No need for TVs to have this functionality if you are going to plug-in a PC in there anyways... HDR in TVs is good for TVs that are used for traditional purposes.
HDR is 2 sided, you need the computer to output it AND the TV to be able to DISPLAY it, you can WATCH "HDR Content" on a NON-HDR display all day long and sure it will look better then standard content but without the HDR Display you aren't getting the full experience.
DanielRichards644 I completely agree there. But I am wondering about what type of HDR would it matter?
games since oblivion been doing HDR.
CRTs are still superior.
hey man, always dig your content. thanks.
youre a good man
Great video! And lets face it; the nerdcave looks AMAZING!
jizzed in my pants
so did this dude never do the "lifestyle change" he talked about a year ago?
Love the voice effect on this 🙌
I love everything about Jerry n his videos.. Keep up the good work bro
60hz 4k?
waste .
120hz > 60hz
My comment stands
[L]ou 4k g-gync>everything
[L]ou but this is 50' 4k 60hz
not 28' 4k 60hz
tell me what model 50' 4k tv got 120 hz with 4.4.4. now?
Not only that, 3 of them in surround, and plenty of space for food to chew on while gaming.
Amazing Video, is good to know to setup a 4K Gaming like this one, Good Job.
Very detailed review. Real work and talent.
I'm pretty sure I've said it before but...... You totally Rock!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us bro.
