Great video, very informative just like the speaker roundup!

One question that you might have the answer to, any recommendations for a 24” 1440p monitor? I have a lot of space restraints.

I have the Koorui 24” 2k 165hz for gaming and wanting to get a second one as a secondary display above it for discord or YouTube videos but finding another similar IPS display is difficult

We also need an Ultra Wide monitors video.

Worth touching on how much difference a KVM makes if you're using a monitor for both gaming and work. takes a second to switch between gaming PC and macbook on the Asus PG32UCDM, and it switches all my USB devices (mouse, keyboard, kanto ora speakers, webcam) to the computer that's actively being displayed. and only one usb-c cable going from the monitor to the macbook.

Whats best mintor in $300 for programming?

[baershaag]

Hi. Which speakers are you using in this video? Are they oriented originally in that way?

[canarinis]

Hello there, have you decided between Kanto Ora and Vanatoo Transparent Zero Plus? Have you ever listened to the Kali LP-UNF? Thanks

[gklinger]

Your asymmetrical speaker orientation is triggering me. You need to have them in a 'mirror' arrangement for proper staging.

As for monitors, I'm using the Dell UltraSharp U4025QW. It has a 5120 x 2160 curved IPS panel which looks incredible and the colour accuracy is fairly high. For productivity, it's superb and while it isn't a gaming monitor, it has a 120Hz refresh rate which is good enough for casual/occasional gaming. The only donwside is the price (even if I think it is worth it.)

Jasper, nice video.... Can you do a gaming monitor video please.... I've got a monitor which I'm using but I want to get a new one and obviously I do gaming and I do reuse for tech here's my channel (DJCamster) ... But keep on doing what you're doing 👊🏿...
