I appreciate the editor adding the number/brand everytime they mentioned them
It made the video so much easier to follow

[trapical]

Always surprises me how much Linus knows even compared to his employees. Like he immediately checks the lower viewing angles to determine the TN panels in seconds, checks the two tone gloves for color reproduction, knows that CSGO doesn’t have dark shadows so he compares the blackness of the mini-map, moves the chair away from the desk for motion blur... Meanwhile all the other guys flounder around and take far longer to decide on anything.

Imagine if James participated
"We had to blindfold James because he could recognize the monitors visually"

"I don't care about viewing angles"

I like this guy

Linus: "bigger looks better"..."I like the size, size matters to me"
Sometimes the memes just write themselves.

Showing the names of the monitors every time when you are talking about them is really helpful and made it so much easier to watch and grasp quickly what you are trying to say. Keep doing this way the way you always do. Thank you.

[UmbrellaSound]

just bought my first 144hz 1ms TN display today... in 10 years I'll get one of these I guess

[KHAOSITY]

Huge props for learning from the shortcomings of the mechanical keyboard video and carefully labeling which monitor is being referenced, very helpful throughout.

[trogdor]

"Drop control" keyboard sounds like something Linus needs.

[samuelm]

Thank you SO MUCH for labeling the monitors as they talk about them!!

This video was SO much easier to follow than the keyboard comparison video from not too long ago.

[moudue]

After the video ended I realized that I was seriously considering getting that LG just to play Minecraft with it

[thepigheadedtitanxp]

That moment when a monitor from the Asus Rog line is considered as a "a cheaper alternative" is the moment you have reached true LTT status.

[Shadow-ighf]

Linus: "Is this cheating?"
If you have to

[highaquatic]

Seeing people playing on a 240 Hz monitor I cant afford really Hz

[Rustanator]

I'm really liking these kind of videos. With the keyboard switch show down or the ssd comparison. Really liked the 60hz vs 120hz vs 144hz.

I hope you guys keep making this kind of content.

*Me watching on a TN panel* :
Number 3 is the most colour accurate! Hey I'm actually right.

[LastAphelion]

@ Linus Tech Tips Hey, first I am wondering what settings were tested on the Zowie that's super important if DyAc was ON or OFF? And if any sync or motion blur technologies were on the others. Also I am curious how the newer ASUS TUF GAMING VG259QM 25'' (or 27") 1080p 240Hz (280Hz overclocked) compares to these? Someone told me that the motion blur was still noticeable, but better than any other 240 IPS

The amount of times LInus almost drew on the monitor with the sharpie and hit the screen with the notepad was giving me to pit sweats
