Man, no matter what product you're reviewing, it is entertaining and informative. The same can also be said of your live streams. One of the best in the game my friend. Always a pleasure to watch.
It really is great. I've got an LG CX, an X95J as well and the FV43U is easily the best HDR balance. The contrast is similar to the OLED but the high peak brightness gives far more stunning highlights than the CX and the you're at full screen brightness it doesn't get all dim and dull like the CX due to ABL.

@@BeHempy I just got a 65" x95j as well after being so impressed with FV43u considering its an LED but the X95J has nowhere near as good contrast and it's much easier to blow out the image in HDR. Quite disappointed in the X95J didn't expect that.
This is the most well balanced review of a monitor I have witnessed. Visual presentation, audio levels, informative from start to end and a bit of quirky humor. I almost forgot that I was searching for monitor reviews ha ha. Great work.
Dude, your so smart in the tech field, you say so many worth while things so fast that me with having kids, I needed to skip back and rewatch multiple times. Totally appreciate the video and the direct/detailed review. I just purchased mine and will get it Wednesday. I’m really looking forward to using it on my Xbox X and PS5. Wish I could have you over to set it all up and you could play any of my old school nes games. I have many. Lol. I wanna start a stream and play the old games all the time. Don’t care about the money. Want people to experience these games all over again. Thank you again and glad I found your channel looking for reviews on the Aorus.
I would like to hear more about how it handles for work. Web pages, documents, text blur while scrolling etc. Also where do you rank it vs its direct competitors the other 43" monitors Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ, Asus ROG Strix XG43UQ, Acer Predator CG437K
Would have been nice to cover the picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture features of this monitor for those of us looking for dual use gaming and productivity. Other than that, good review.
Man I love this review cause it doesn't just bag on all of the very intricate tech behind the monitor like peak nits and whatever, but it feels like it comes from the actual perspective of gamers rather than technicians 😁 Thanks for this awesome review and now I know who I can trust haha
This was a great review. I had been looking at the Sony X85J and X90J along with the FV43U for my ps5. The problem with the X85J is that the hdr is not all that good, and the X90J starts at 50 inches. The FV43U may be a little expensive but its definitely worth it
Because of this review, I decided to go ahead and order mine. Found it on Amazon for 699.99 If anyone else is interested. Thanks for the video as I was having a hard time choosing a great monitor!
9:20 Why didn't you give an example of using it as a workstation? (Word, excel, file explorer, Steam etc.) Instead you're just showing a full screen youtube video. Was that part of the embargo review? Couldn't show it being used as a workstation?
I just bought myself this monitor at a steal of only £600, haven't had a proper play with it yet since I've had to work but it's absolutely amazing so far and I have only turned it on once
Can you have two sources running on this monitor at once? Like a laptop/PC on the bottom and a separate laptop or console running on top? Split screen with two sources?
Nice to see someone uploading these kinds of videos in 4K. Anything below these days looks so bad on UA-cam due to their overly aggressive compression techniques.
Accordingly to some reviews this monitor doesn't support 24p video, causing issues when watching movies and other 24p video content. Can you share your experience with this?
That was a cool review - i have the monitor since a week now - didnt have the time to test it with any of my consoles - only for homeoffice. still trying to figure out if i can charge and use my laptop via usb-c cable connected to the monitor.
Picked up this monitor for $100 from marketplace. Person didnt know it was a high end gaming monitor. Thought it was just a TV. Its one of the best monitors ive used and super happy with it. The speakers are actually really good. I wish the monitor stand werent like the TVs and had some tilt and swivel adjustment capabilities. With that said...a VESA mount can fix that.
I like the idea behind these… but I feel like we need 5K or 6K for this size of monitor. At 103 PPI it’s a bit low. I find my 3440x1440 UW to be a bit grainy up close and it’s 109 PPI. This thing is basically an entertainment monitor and nothing more, at least for me 🤷♂️
Mate, without offence, never seeing you close to the actual product feels almost like you never got it and like you are talking about it based on assumptions made by someone else.. . Which is lame.
Robey I like this monitor can you suggest some 200 x 200 monitor mounts? At this weight and size most of the mounts I researched were tv wall mounts, I would prefer desk or pole mounts.
When I play on hdr1000 mode on ps5 every game looks too dark compared to hdr game mode, what should I do to make it look as good as u say it can look on hdr1000?
go into config setting and balance out color and options while in HDR to match the game youre playing. last of us part 2 with HDR takes certain color correction as its a very dark and grey game. certain games you mess around with the setting on and off
Just picked this up for $650 for prime day, just waiting for delivery but seems like a great buy. Though I should have thought about the 8-bit issue for photo editing... hopefully it's ok
@@blisstonia it's great, gets kind of hot with HDR turned on. Colors might need some tweaking, but overall it's nice for extra screen real estate if it's not mounted too close your face
Hello, I am using KTC G48P5 OLED monitor to play games. I tested several games like Resident Evil 3/2/8, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. And I found the dark region is not so clear as the OLED should be. So I tried to set the "dark balance" of the monitor from 50 to 100, it got much better, BUT the bright things like sunlight is distorted. That means I can't get a natural visual from that OLED monitor by setting the "dark balance". So I want to buy a non-oled monitor like this one to see if it gets better. I noticed that this monitor has a similar function "dark balance" to improve the darkness clarity, but I'm not sure whether this feature also increases the overall brightness just as the KTC does. If it affects only the dark region, I think it's OK for me to buy it. Could you please take some tests on that function? Thank you in advance!
Hey! Nice review! Have you seen any black smearing during your tests? Since it's a VA panel I would really appreciate it if you can tell me. Keep up the good work!
I have the ps5 just recently and i was in the middle of deciding whether i would like to buy the TV or this one? I can’t decide which is really best for my console. pls help me. and plus im into COD Modern Warfare. comment below..
hi, i have this monitor with ps5 and i can't figure out if it's better to play with hdr inserted or not, for warzone. In your opinion, besides the smart overdrive on which mode I should put the image to see everything and have the maximum response speed.
should come with 4. 1 for switch, 1 for series x, 1 for ps5 and 1 for pc. heck, should come with 5 hdmi ports. 1 for switch, 1 for series x, 1 for ps5, 1 for pc and 1 for a blu-ray.
My opinion personally is to wait for the LG 42 inch oled 4k high refresh TV's that are out this year. I will probably try to sell this fv43u and get the new lgs. I particularly want the 42 or 43 inch 4k and high refresh and hdmi 2.1
Watched a few of your videos and had thought I subscribed. Aparently I didn't, so I just hit that sub button. Have a few questions about this monitor. 1. Is it a big deal that it doesn't support Dolby Vision/Atmos 2. If you had to choose between this and a 48" C1 which would you recommend (Especially since in the US it's $1099 as of this writing)? 3. Is Dolby Vision really worth it for gaming i.e. is there really a difference in the picture? I've been on the fence about these two and I'm really not sure which one to pick up. Thank you, and keep up the great work & content!!!!
I am nobody, and def not a tech guy, but I have a tcl 75” series 6 with Dolby vision and sound. I am getting the aorus on weds and I will Let you know what I think. I don’t have all the tech words and such, but I’ll be happy to tell you what I see and hear between the two as I have both systems and will have each set up on the tv and the monitor
I got the gsync vrr version by mistake. I run AMD, however running CRU clearly states my monitor is running freesync. The AMD control panel states I'm running Variable refresh rate. Are Gsync and Freesync the same thing now? Should I return the gsync for the freesync? I'm Running 3950x, x570 master, 6800xt, all components are liquid cooled to 24 degrees. even chip sets and m.2 are liquid cooled.
So I took delivery of one of these this week, Tuesday. Thursday it's back with the supplier. That quick. I think people have to stop accepting and praising substandard products. I'll start there... What's my issues with this, well I had zero noticeable dead pixels, which many complain of, so it's not that. Its performance and quality related, and the reason for that is......... VA. What utter crap VA panels are. I've had 2 so far, different manufacturers and sizes, returned both. Viewing angles are terrible, and this screen was bright white in the centre and off white/cream in the left and right 3rd's of the panel. Even when I positioned myself directly in front of those zones to see if it was just VA bad viewing angle issues, it remained dull and off-white. I tried every conceivable setting, manually changed what I could and results were very limited. Including auto dimming on/off and all sorts of brightnes and contrast settings, HDR on/off etc. There were some things and settings that marginally improved visuals and the experience, but it's just so self limiting by the unit and technology itself. Performance is average. I got so much blur and ghosting on any fast moving scenes and in FPS games, very distracting. Not the wider picture so much, but if you look at your arms/hands/wepon for example when running, the top edges are just a blur. Sit on a truck in Squad or HLL, and the vehicles behind become a blur, the wheels very noticeably and the ghosting trail. In Squad, this monitor performed horrendously, notably in wooded areas, marginally better in more open maps. HLL, same engine, much better, but it should be consistent in any game. When this review says ghosting i's not noticeable in a game, wrong, it is. Certainly anything faster paced. Watching UA-cam vids, it was like watching old VHS videos. They say in life you get what you pay for. But this isn't a cheap "monitor" (it's a TV with TV being used as a monitor issues IMO), and in this case, you may pay a premium or get it at the current widely reduced price. Either price is a rip off in my view. if I was sent this monitor for free, I'd eBay it. VA is not good enough, nothing about this panel made me want to keep it. It's c...r...a.... You get the drift. For now, I'm sticking with my older 30inch IPS that suffers from none of the issues above or with this monitor. I'll take the quality of IPS over VA performance any day. The other thing, 4k gaming on a screen this size, felt like 1080p on an old 28inch, it just doesn't look great. It felt like a step backwards rather than a step forward over 1600P. Now, I either run my games at 1600P or DSR to 2263P, and HLL, Squad and other games I play DSR'd to 2263P on my 30" look so much more detailed and immersive. It's night and day the difference. Some may say sit back further, I'm 30-36" away anyway, its a monitor, a desktop use item. Sitting back further would also present another issue, text became unreadable, notably on icons on your desktop. Fortunately today I got my refund, I'll never by another VA panel monitor, unless there is some way they fix all the VA problems. The only thing it had going for it, was color vibrancy was a notch up from IPS, but that alone is not enough. My IPS is 60hz, but honestly, feels much better thatn 144hz on the FV43U, in quality terms at least. Im using a 3080Ti too, so powering it wasn't a problem. I couldn't recommend this monitor.
play the video at 0.25x speed and watch around 11.44- there will be red hues around moving black areas (focus around the gun) - its even noticable with normal speed
Hey guys, awesome video! Tons of content with no baggage. Thank you for taking a look at this monitor. As for additional questions I have, I would like to see your comments on chroma sub-sampling, text clarity, and opinions on if this is a true HDMI 2.1 monitor. There have been alot of comments saying this is actually a hdmi 2.0 but a few hdmi 2.1 options.
Can I ask for your guidence? I am running a GTX 1070MQ on my MSI gaming laptop, Connected to a G-sync Acer Predator Z35 running 2560x1080. Would it be a bad idea getting this one? I do run games like Overwatch on high/Ultra graphic settings and getting somewhere between 100-125 frames.
Theres no point, this monitor is targeting people with 4k capable cards. If you were to buy this you'd want to be getting a desktop or have or get a new rtx card
Thank you for this review I am currently waiting for mine today and am using it with the series X and your review has put my mind and rest I was seriously thinking I have wasted my money. My only question is what HDMI port do I connect it to use the series X? I am a complete rookie with anything like this so thank you. Have a good day Edit: have received the monitor and yes the picture quality is awesome but when I look on the game cards of games with 120+ fps they are grayed out and my settings are 4k 120hz I have a high speed HDMI cable. I am not going to lie I feel like I may have wasted £700
A lot of console games don’t support 4K 120 FPS or 4K HDR with 60+ FPS right now due to hardware limitations. If a game supports it, then you should have it as an option. If your monitor doesn’t have any defects, it definitely wasn’t a waste of money and you’ll get many years of use out of it.

I saw this mentioned in only a couple reviews at launch of this. currently the hdmi 2.1 ports are listed as 48 gbps on the amazon link for this. So im not sure if maybe they had some kinda firmware update/product refresh or if they are just straight lying on the feature list.
I'm not sure about the 1ms response time, but can confirm the case with the ghosting, but set the overdrive to 'Balanced', and it goes away completely.
Amazing review dude! I purchased this monitor and love it but noticed backlight bleeding in each corner as soon as I started using it. Is that normal? Or should I return it? Feedback is much appreciated.
Man, no matter what product you're reviewing, it is entertaining and informative. The same can also be said of your live streams. One of the best in the game my friend. Always a pleasure to watch.
I've had this monitor since launch and yeah, it's amazing.
Me too qled + hdr1000 + 144hz so hoot + 4k.
It really is great. I've got an LG CX, an X95J as well and the FV43U is easily the best HDR balance.
The contrast is similar to the OLED but the high peak brightness gives far more stunning highlights than the CX and the you're at full screen brightness it doesn't get all dim and dull like the CX due to ABL.

Great review and break down. Would like to see a comparison with this monitor and the ROG strix 43” monitor
Most detailed informative vid on YT on this monitor. Good vid.
I would like to hear more about how it handles for work. Web pages, documents, text blur while scrolling etc.
Also where do you rank it vs its direct competitors the other 43" monitors Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ, Asus ROG Strix XG43UQ, Acer Predator CG437K
I have heard the Aorus monitor is the best of the bunch for text clarity and overall being a "monitor" as well as a TV.
Would have been nice to cover the picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture features of this monitor for those of us looking for dual use gaming and productivity. Other than that, good review.
I’ve been playing with max brightness for like 2 years 😅
What game was being played at 2:00?
Man I love this review cause it doesn't just bag on all of the very intricate tech behind the monitor like peak nits and whatever, but it feels like it comes from the actual perspective of gamers rather than technicians 😁 Thanks for this awesome review and now I know who I can trust haha
Watching on my FV43U 😁
What game is that @ 2:34?
This was a great review. I had been looking at the Sony X85J and X90J along with the FV43U for my ps5. The problem with the X85J is that the hdr is not all that good, and the X90J starts at 50 inches. The FV43U may be a little expensive but its definitely worth it
I got the xh900 thinking I could play 4k at 120hz but instead it had to be at 60hz. was a let down and a half , but can still do 1080p at 120hz
Really good review. I am interested in this monitor maybe in the future and I love your in depth review. Thanks Robey!
2:00 what game is that? 👍
fv43u vs XG43UQ a shoot out would be great all of us want to know which one is the better buy

Great review, but really would have liked to know how it handles general computer work, such as if you work remotely.
I dunno if i should buy thsno the 48u... butbthe 43 is probably the one for racing and shooter games and i amnse my xbox
hi, i have this monitor with ps5 and i can't figure out if it's better to play with hdr inserted or not, for warzone.
In your opinion, besides the smart overdrive on which mode I should put the image to see everything and have the maximum response speed.
Should come standard with 3 HDMI ports. One for Switch, One for Series X and PS5
should come with 4. 1 for switch, 1 for series x, 1 for ps5 and 1 for pc.
heck, should come with 5 hdmi ports. 1 for switch, 1 for series x, 1 for ps5, 1 for pc and 1 for a blu-ray.
why this is a monitor, not a console gaming tv
I am looking at this monitor for sim racing. Currently using a 1080p 40 inch tv.

Even when I positioned myself directly in front of those zones to see if it was just VA bad viewing angle issues, it remained dull and off-white.
I tried every conceivable setting, manually changed what I could and results were very limited. Including auto dimming on/off and all sorts of brightnes and contrast settings, HDR on/off etc.
There were some things and settings that marginally improved visuals and the experience, but it's just so self limiting by the unit and technology itself.
Performance is average. I got so much blur and ghosting on any fast moving scenes and in FPS games, very distracting. Not the wider picture so much, but if you look at your arms/hands/wepon for example when running, the top edges are just a blur. Sit on a truck in Squad or HLL, and the vehicles behind become a blur, the wheels very noticeably and the ghosting trail. In Squad, this monitor performed horrendously, notably in wooded areas, marginally better in more open maps. HLL, same engine, much better, but it should be consistent in any game.
When this review says ghosting i's not noticeable in a game, wrong, it is. Certainly anything faster paced.
Watching UA-cam vids, it was like watching old VHS videos.
They say in life you get what you pay for. But this isn't a cheap "monitor" (it's a TV with TV being used as a monitor issues IMO), and in this case, you may pay a premium or get it at the current widely reduced price. Either price is a rip off in my view. if I was sent this monitor for free, I'd eBay it. VA is not good enough, nothing about this panel made me want to keep it.
It's c...r...a.... You get the drift.
For now, I'm sticking with my older 30inch IPS that suffers from none of the issues above or with this monitor. I'll take the quality of IPS over VA performance any day.
The other thing, 4k gaming on a screen this size, felt like 1080p on an old 28inch, it just doesn't look great. It felt like a step backwards rather than a step forward over 1600P. Now, I either run my games at 1600P or DSR to 2263P, and HLL, Squad and other games I play DSR'd to 2263P on my 30" look so much more detailed and immersive. It's night and day the difference.
Some may say sit back further, I'm 30-36" away anyway, its a monitor, a desktop use item. Sitting back further would also present another issue, text became unreadable, notably on icons on your desktop.
Fortunately today I got my refund, I'll never by another VA panel monitor, unless there is some way they fix all the VA problems. The only thing it had going for it, was color vibrancy was a notch up from IPS, but that alone is not enough. My IPS is 60hz, but honestly, feels much better thatn 144hz on the FV43U, in quality terms at least. Im using a 3080Ti too, so powering it wasn't a problem. I couldn't recommend this monitor.
What game is he playing ????
play the video at 0.25x speed and watch around 11.44- there will be red hues around moving black areas (focus around the gun) - its even noticable with normal speed
How would this compare to my Asus Rog Swift PG27U?
Your monitor would be smaller, half the resolution, and a slightly better refresh rate.
Hey guys, awesome video! Tons of content with no baggage. Thank you for taking a look at this monitor. As for additional questions I have, I would like to see your comments on chroma sub-sampling, text clarity, and opinions on if this is a true HDMI 2.1 monitor. There have been alot of comments saying this is actually a hdmi 2.0 but a few hdmi 2.1 options.
Can I ask for your guidence?
I am running a GTX 1070MQ on my MSI gaming laptop, Connected to a G-sync Acer Predator Z35 running 2560x1080. Would it be a bad idea getting this one?
I do run games like Overwatch on high/Ultra graphic settings and getting somewhere between 100-125 frames.
Theres no point, this monitor is targeting people with 4k capable cards.
If you were to buy this you'd want to be getting a desktop or have or get a new rtx card
Thank you for this review I am currently waiting for mine today and am using it with the series X and your review has put my mind and rest I was seriously thinking I have wasted my money. My only question is what HDMI port do I connect it to use the series X? I am a complete rookie with anything like this so thank you. Have a good day
Edit: have received the monitor and yes the picture quality is awesome but when I look on the game cards of games with 120+ fps they are grayed out and my settings are 4k 120hz I have a high speed HDMI cable. I am not going to lie I feel like I may have wasted £700
A lot of console games don’t support 4K 120 FPS or 4K HDR with 60+ FPS right now due to hardware limitations. If a game supports it, then you should have it as an option. If your monitor doesn’t have any defects, it definitely wasn’t a waste of money and you’ll get many years of use out of it.
Really no one talks about the heat this monitor makes?
Also this monitor is g sync compatible (not certified)
Awesome review. Should the same options be used in Gigabyte's other KVM monitors for optimal picture?
That can really depend on the monitor. Not all Smart OD implementations are the same. But in most cases yes
@@RobeytechLive should I get this I been having hard time looking for a monitor

The answer to your question has already been answered in the video ;-)
FYI The HDMI 2.1 is limited to only 24Gbps and is not true HDMI 2.1
The level of detail in your analysis is amazing, great job! 🔥 fantastic presentation.

can i watch tv on it?
Yep!
Great review....what about the capped hdmi 2.1 bandwidth on this? I think it like 28gflops compared to the normal 48...is this a deal breaker for ps5?
I saw this mentioned in only a couple reviews at launch of this. currently the hdmi 2.1 ports are listed as 48 gbps on the amazon link for this. So im not sure if maybe they had some kinda firmware update/product refresh or if they are just straight lying on the feature list.
We just Spoke, nice content. From Royal
$800 after Sales Tax?
Is is better to buy a new GPU and use 43"" TV instead?
I heard the 1ms response time is a lie and there's alot of ghosting
I'm not sure about the 1ms response time, but can confirm the case with the ghosting, but set the overdrive to 'Balanced', and it goes away completely.
Amazing review dude! I purchased this monitor and love it but noticed backlight bleeding in each corner as soon as I started using it. Is that normal? Or should I return it? Feedback is much appreciated.
Should I get it
@@xboxgamerz22 I returned it as I cant deal with blacklight bleed but if it doesn't bother you then it's great
