We are severely lacking when it comes to reviews on monitors. Especially monitors that aren't top of the line. Really been liking the budget monitor stuff on the channel lately.

LTT: Here’s the Cheapest 1440p 144 Hz monitor on Amazon!

Amazon Price: 🚀🚀🚀

My moms slap has a 1 millisecond slap time and it Hz alot ;c

[grandmasterauto]

Just got one from Amazon. It's satisfying to update my monitor that can handle 144hz.

[xanuary]

Linus: It’s a bit smeary

Also Linus: *has motion blur enabled*

[YannisBang]

Linus: 1080p is low
Me[Watching on 1080p monitor]: ... yeah yeah...

[RanchItUp]

I think the “bright frame corner” feature is to make a game’s HUD more visible depending on how you change the brightness and contrast

[LoneIgadzra]

It would be very helpful for to have an affordable (not cheapest) monitor buying guide from LTT! It is such a pain to sort through all the cryptic model numbers and pros and cons when you are trying to find something decent and save money. With other hardware it is easier and less subjective, and I love how picky you guys are because I notice all that stuff too.

Linus: "I'm sure you can see these comet trails off of icons as I'm dragging this on the desktop here"

Me on my $50 monitor from 2004: "Yup, it's pretty bad"

[yeti]

Funny how I see this after I've had my AOC 144hz monitor for a few months. For 200, it is definitely one of my best purchases

[reidjordan]

AOC monitors are legit some of the best I've had, the features to price ratio is honestly better than other more notable brands and their quality control is really good. They also make solid high quality products.

[TheBlackWaltz]

I got a 400 dollar 4k monitor from AOC in 2016. Its been pretty great. I have no issues with the brightness or anything. I am sure its not the best monitor. But for the price it's been quite nice. A lot of thr stuff linus picks on in these reviews, is because he plays with new tech all the time. I had no idea my monitor was a cheaper brand, because it was a crazy nice upgrade to the one I had been using since 2006. I still have that one as a secondary monitor actually.

[almarc]

"But they all had a lower, by modern standards, resolution of 1080p"

Yeah, *cries in 720p*

[jaimalhotra]

"They have used tape to tape it on"

[Carsonkreilich]

Linus picks out the smallest problems that you don't really even notice at all and starts going on a 10 min rant about it lmfao

[EdwardDrachenbergJr]

just bought a pair of the AOCs and this being my first monitor purchase in 10+ years. I am super happy!

[bighex]

The corner brightness could be for games with a mini map, that's my guess

[shanesgettinghandy]

Linus, please do a "best bang for your buck" on a handful of high refresh rate monitors. I think many of us are okay with spending a little extra to avoid the junk, but also can't really justify the price tag of the "cutting edge" that is often reviewed.

[ariadoroodchi]

I think that feature might be for when you’re multitasking and would like a different setting on a specific tab. I can’t say I’d need it but it’s definitely an option

[HackDaMainframe]

Bro this is fucking crazy. I’m literally in the process of RMAing my AOC monitor because of the “Bright Frame” feature. Linus you fucking beast. Now I can just keep my monitor.
