GIGABYTE AORUS to Introduce 10-bit, 144 Hz IPS FreeSync Monitor at CES 2019

GIGABYTE's gaming brand AORUS has been expanding its product portfolio to just about any piece of kit a PC gamer can and will buy. From graphics cards to motherboards, RAM, and all manner of peripherals, there's little pieces of hardware that were missing - and AORUS is apparently preparing the last piece of the puzzle in the form of a FreeSync compatible monitor.
The first teases happened two months ago, with full pictures of the monitor's design and OSD. Now, AORUS UK has started to tease and market their upcoming product in a series of (until now) two tweets (whether or not that makes a series may be debatable). There's RGB lighting throughout the carcass of the monitor, a 90º swivel, gaming features such as Aim Stabilizer, Black Equalizer and Super Resolution, and if the teases are anything to go by (and they should be), the panel should be of the 10-bit type. The diagonal isn't known as of yet, but 144Hz FreeSync on a 10-bit panel really is appetizing. Expect more details on January 16th.

I don't know about you guys but it looks similar to MSI monitors in terms of design front&rear. The question is who are their supplier for the panel itself, the MSI monitor I'm using I believe has a samsung panel.

GinoLatinoFunny, on my 6-bit + A-FRC monitor the two hue stripes should look the same... but they are not!!!
Does it mean I can see 10-bit on my monitor? Holy baloney!!!

Oh dear...

Go into Photoshop, and create a gradient grayscale, and make it go from one side of your monitor to the other, you will quickly see that 256 shades of grey are incredibly obvious to see... If not, then your suffering from Error #40

Depends on how large the screen is and what resolution the width is at. The eyes are pretty good at picking up patterns but the pattern has to be clear enough to do so. If the screen is 4" across and 512 pixels wide, there's a good chance the gradient will look smooth (2 pixels per color). If the screen is 3840 pixels wide and 30" across (15 pixels per color), the bands will be obvious.

I just tried, not obvious at all, at the contrary, I see a fairly smooth gradient. Are you on a tn gaming monitor?

With a decent monitor that represent all the gradients, you won't see banding even if the band is 100px each, because your eye/brain can't pick the small change in the 2 consecutive color gradients. Try zooming on the gradient I posted and you'll see what I mean... only if you have a decent monitor.

I can see all kinds of banding in that, especially in the dark grays. Grays are difficult (especially for a TN panel like mine) to produce because it's directly related to backlight brightness and bleeding.

The reason why 10-bit/HDR is good is because there's 1024 shades of gray instead of 256. Even on a 4K screen, that's less than 4 pixels wide for each shade.


Here's an 8-bit lossless picture with two neighboring shades of gray on it (128,128,128 & 129,129,129). I can spot where it changes, can you?

It's right about....................................…......................................................................………………..…………………….................................here ^
With a 10-bit picture and monitor, the shade difference would be 4 times smaller.
GinoLatino...fairly...
The math says it should be perfectly smooth...

I can see the change clearly (10-bit BL3200). Just under the r in "where" on the last line of text above the pic.

Sure, I can see it, but you have to look for it. Probably if you show that to someone without telling that there are 2 different shades, they won't notice, for sure not at first glance.

UpgrayeddWonder if they will talk about those 200Hz G-Sync LocalDimmed UltraWides at CES.. They are taking so long I almost forgot about them.
They talk about them every year. At the price they are trying to ask, it's an DOA product. We are supposedly getting HDMI2.1 OLEDs from LG this year, 4k@120Hz and everything.

Next week is going to be fun!

Looks like the pics were taken at the old PcPer Church, before Ryan kicked them out.

spectatorxMost of them being TN and TN is crap.
TN is better for Gamers.

Maybe competitive FPS gamers, but not all gamers, I like high quality visuals and no colour shift etc. over pure speed, and I play a LOT of games.

Do you even have an opinion of your own or are you just parroting random sentences you read on the internet? :kookoo:

I exclusively have TN-Monitors. Some have very bad Colours. But the Viewsonic I have now is very good.

If you move your head up and down/left-right do the colours change?
