  1. The funniest part is, that somebody got bored at work, wanted a challenge and made the Biggest F*** Game Display to keep busy. xD Well they made it interesting.

  2. my elementary school had the same kind of handle as the one right at the start of this vid, and it only just occurred to me seeing linus struggle with it how weird it is

  3. A few things ..

    1 – I have that predator monitor that Linus first pointed to .. yaaay.

    2 – I've seen impressive examples like this before of what companies do to make quality products but the truth is it was more PR than something substantial. Having said that, this behind the scenes video seems fairly legit.

    3 – I'm still very skeptical that HDR is a thing that needs to exist. In examples I've seen before, the image comparisons show something that to me isn't depth so much as different colours. If displays before this weren't doing it right then they've ALL been getting made incorrectly and manufacturers have been lying to us about colour accuracy.

    4 – $50,000 test rig with accuracy to 0.1mm which is sitting on a paper pad and resting up against some random foam packaging block, hmmm. That thing looked unstable like it could fall off.

    5 – In the explanation about pixel values around 9:50 linus talks about guess work in calculating pixel value and also about look-up tables. Why do monitors need to do guess work?
    Couldn't they just add that data into the look-up table?

    6 – What's in the suitcase? ಠ_ಠ

  4. i tried a few freesync monitors, they all gave me headaches. now i know why. ended up getting an 34" alienware g sync monitor and i can play on this thing all day without eye strain or headaches.

  5. Guess my monitor doesn't pass the Timing Controller / TCON test, darn you Nvidia. Blanks out for a good few seconds. I wish it could run as well as it would on an ATI card. 2:48

  6. So much complexity adds up with VRR and lcd fald backlights and hdr on top.
    A simple emissive MicroLED1000Hz+ display would remove all this need for complexity, since you'd no longer need VRR and no backlight either. /dream

  7. Okay sooo i have an issue and idk how to fix it so im hoping for some help

    I recently bought a GTX 1650 (yes i know, ugh 1650, but it was like 25% off on amazon)
    I was planning on upgrading all the way from a GT710 to the GTX1650

    The GT710 works just fine and always has. I followed the instructions on this video for the “upgrading” and now whenever i boot the PC with the GTX1650, it gives me a “no signal” error on my monitor

    Yet when the GT710 is back in, the pc works just fine

    The GTX1650 hasnt worked since I bought it, the fans spin and the card swithes on, its just after the screen that shows the MOBO logo that it says “no signal”

    GTX1650 4GB or GT710 2GB
    600W PSU
    8GB RAM
    I5 3.5 GHZ

    please help me

  8. TFT LED display's aren't all the same shit(if you look @ the basic you would say that lcd ips pannel it's just a damn active light filter) , if you have a simple 60 Hz refresh rate monitor then the sync between lcd and back light wouldn't be such of an fuss , most of TV's or display's now comes with this minimum value and don't need more then 2 led chains (all though you may see 4 wires going to the back light strip they actual do one chain in most 60hz cases). In the 140 Hz area refresh rate well this is a different story : the flicker of the back light must be precisely synced with the flicker of the tft panel + all other optical filters such light conductor, polarizer, diffuser etc. must be fine class light filters ass the main result would gradually differ .

    This video is about one of the first 4k monitor made in 2001: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlaxgiszfEo .

  9. Can you make a video explaining all the terminology you used in this video. I found very little info on the metrics used to qualify display quality and performance
