I felt that when he said “if your family is anything like mine, it’s up to you to by what you want”

Original post was before Christmas

-Post Christmas update my grandma thought she got me airpods and got ripped off from a whole sell website selling the fake airpods for 50 dollars when ever they are 3 dollars on Ali express so I got some i7s TWS earbuds it’s the thought that counts though

Everyone: Buys monitors on Black Friday

*weeks pass*

Linus: *best gaming monitors*

I'd love a video that gave a quick breakdown of what to look for in a good monitor. Like difference in 1080p/4K, panel technology, response times, hrz vs ms response time, nits vs cd/m2, flat vs curved, ratio vs wide display vs ultra wide, colour dynamics vs colour bits, ports, and what this all means practically.
Thanks for making great vids! I've started watching this channel a lot to learn all about what to look for in making a new rig for animation, 3D, music, and VR.

"Balls to the holly decked walls" is this something else to add into the office?

The MSI Optix MAG271CQR is another amazing option that can be typically found for around $320 USD. It is 1440p, 144hz, 1ms, VA Panel (great contrast), 1800R curved and in my personal testing out performed many more expensive monitors (including the LG Ultragear feature in this video for $180 less)

I love having a microcenter about 4 miles from my house, there was amazing deals on black Friday. Got g skill 3200mhz 32gig set of ram for 100usd and a ryzen 7 2700x with wraith prism cooler for 129. And it came with a free game of either borderlands 3 or the outer worlds. I didn't have either game so that was awesome.

I miss max :( She dropped a whole PC while Linus can only drop pieces...

[rajveermalviya]

So, this year was LinusMonitorTips.

I mean every monitor recommended was tested by them personally.

Great Job, LMG
