Why Monitor Brands Are Lying to You?

Hi, I am The Mysterious Tech. In this video, I explained why the 1 ms response time advertised by monitor brands is misleading. I covered how important response time is when buying a monitor, what the ideal response time in milliseconds should be, and what MPRT and GTG mean. All these questions are answered in this video.

0:00 Intro
0:36 1 ms is a Lie!

4:38 Monitor Panel Types

You're the only example of an ai text to speech program being used that doesn't offend me. You clearly are putting genuine effort into your videos and use the ai in combination with the mask to maintain the mysterious vibe rather pump out random slop a computer thought would be a video.

The more I learn about monitors/TVs the more confusing choosing a good one gets. Great informative video!!

Bro remembered his YouTube channel password 🔑

I just discovered this channel like two days before, when I was trying to look for information to choose a laptop, since I love technology, but mostly I had been interested only in smartphones. But this guy and the easy way that he explains everything, the smoothness of the animation and the video in itself, I think is something that I would consider (and I consider) high quality and easy informative video. I would not even mind if he takes up to 20 or 30 minutes of video to explain about something due to his personality and nice explanations. Just wanted to share my good opinion with this guy! ❤

Thanks for adding the links to the products too!

Absolutely the best review channel in YouTube. Only viable information in short and well explained manner without unnecessary bullshit. Perfectly understandable!!! Thank you for the great job and keep up the good work.

As an engineer its indeed a lie. For example 240 hz means 1/240 s = 1000/240 ms ≈ 4.16 ms so anything lower than that on a 240 hz monitor is a lie

The info you showed in brackets in 6:46 is very helpful. I thought that mini led and micro led are the same until I saw that. Thanks

The production quality of your videos is genuenly impressive. the video is a delight to watch (I'm not a bot) they are also very educational.

This is the best YouTube Channel on explaining something so good. Keep it Up i love these videos! ❤

[seplol]

i love how simple these videos are. it teaches beginners who might not know much, if anything at all, about technology and explains everything in detail while retaining a simple explanation that makes it easy for basically anyone to understand. even i learned some new things from watching this and i know quite a bit about tech. keep up the great work

In my experience, VAs have terrible ghosting even with all the black light or mprt settings set to max

Meanwhile, while IPS still has some, it becomes minimal when the adjustments have been applied.

you didn`t mention OLED monitors cost several times more than LCD ones. So you gotta choose what you need. If you have money, definitely buy OLED, the picture quality is wayyy better. If dont wanna spend 2k on a monitor, LCD is your choice. Yes, the image is worse, but its not bad, especially if you compare the prices.

[BobertV]

Man I like your videos. Would you mind making a video about drones? I am not a lot deep into that field, but I'd definitely love to hear your thoughts and opinions about which drones you think are good, and what else.

[aleboss]

This is the first video of yours to be recommended to me and i got to say that this was a very well done vid, I understood everything very easily. You've got a new subscribe out of me,

[mounirnour]

I love your straightforward and accurate approach to technology. I hope you’ll talk about headsets and earbuds in a future video.

[walidbouharras]

and once again the mysterious tech cooks with a great informative easy to understand video keep up the work

lol, mine is an AOC gaming g2 series adaptive sync, 27´, 240hz 0.5ms. No idea if that is related to the GTG or MPRT. Infact when i got it, i didnt know half the things i learned after Such as:
1. Why did i buy a 27inch monitor, along with a RTX4060 that is basically a 1080p card, and image looked a bit bad in big screen.
2. Why did i think i need a 240hz monitor, when 99.99% of games dont reach over 200fps.
3. Didnt check if it was G-sync compatible, (or knew the importance of it) since i was getting Nvidea card. Luckly had adpative sync, which wasnt even something i thought off.
I managed to make it work, thankfully, by discovering DLDSR, that allowed me to switch and down-scale to a higher resolution, Adaptive sync worked well in terms of compatability. Phew! Always do research before you buy folks!! xD

The Tech channel with the manliest voice over !

[Crossfire]

Yeah.
That's true about audio systems too!

I used to own a Sony STR-DG500 receiver, which was advertised as delivering 100W x6 Channels in 8-Ohm.
Later, I have bought another receiver: Harman Kardon AVR230 which only advertised 50W x7 Channels in 8-Ohm.
So, I thought I'm giving up on some power in order to gain better audio quality.
But, to my surprise, the Harman Kardon receiver sounded a lot louder!
How's that possible?
Obviously, Sony weren't advertising the real RMS watts, but some peak wattage, which is so misleading!
