At least a 60fps video would be nice. But then their digital storage would fill up at twice the speed🤣. Still I understand they want high resolution video for digital zoom uses but I'd prefer a 1080p60 video to a 4k30 video just like in gaming. It just looks so much smoother and lifelike.

@@DzeDavis but they aren't. They're not that good. They're horridly overpriced. The only insecure fanboy here is you haha. It's like beats, which apple now owns too. It's all about the brand, not the performance.
i mean not really for the sceptre one its price actually slightly went down. it just spikes occasionally to around 300 whenever supply is low but normally its cruising at the same price as video. but rn its out of stock again so I'm really sad boi :(
Yeah this is why I kinda love but also hate LTT videos like these. On one hand, I find out about good deals that I wouldn't otherwise know about (like that cheap modified mobile i7 from China), but on the other hand the sudden rise in popularity for the products featured makes the prices go up, either because they sell out or because the seller inflates the price.
I finally bit the bullet on replacing my decade old 24/27 inch 1080i screens with modern ones, and for my secondary, I went with a 27 inch sceptre 1080p 144hz. I genuinely. cannot. believe. how good it is. It was like $220 and out of the box, the colors are gorgeous, the blacks are deep, no dead pixels, no ghosting, sharp as hell. I went with a 32 inch 1080p 164hz curved acer screen for my primary and it was godawful. Terrible colors, muddy sharpness, not very bright, and settings only did a tiny bit to alleviate things. Swapped it for a 32 inch 2k LG 144hz flat screen (also only like $260) and am so much happier. It's just the bigger 2k version of the one tested here, just with zero bezel and an oled display. Only thing I hate about the LG is that it has the "wall wart" style power supply, and it's way too goddamn short and REALLY doesn't play nice with my battery backup. Bricks are ABSOLUTELY the way these monitors should be if they want external PSU's
I got mine on prime day and don’t have any regrets. The standard colors are quite bad as Linus points out but I was able to use the NVidia control panel’s Digital Vibrance setting to get it into the sort of color range I’d expect.
I have the Sceptre and honestly I dont have that big of a contrast issue. Its kinda bad at first, but with some tweaking it does look a lot better. Would reccomend!
For those looking at the sceptre. I can say it is AMAZING it looks good, still works amazing, and ive had NOT A SINGLE TROUBLE! Ive had it for over 6 months now, and i would HIGHLY recommend!
Considering all I play is ROBLOX, MW2, and Fortnite, I think I'm pretty well off sticking to my 75hz 3ms monitor. It's lightweight which is good for if I have to adjust it for dusting. The bezels are also really thin which I like because then the border of my screen blends in with the background as I focus on my game play. For anyone wondering, it's the Sceptre F22 and it costs about $88 before tax on Amazon. Pretty good monitor for gaming if you're on a budget if you ask me.
WHAT ?! My LG 4k monitor comes with 2 HDMI and 1 DP. If I would have bought the newest model even with a USB C with Powershare but thats 150€+ . I paid 530ish
9:03 Should have included a warning: *This "adapter" is potentially DEADLY!* The "korean"* Schuko plug has two contact pads on the top and bottom, which are used for ground connection. The included "adapter" only has phase and neutral but no ground. Thus, using this thing you're running a high-powered device without the ground connection that it's protection mechanism *relies on.* Also, devices with a Schuko plug expect 230V/50Hz input and the "adapter" (which isn't much an adapter after all) obviously doesn't have any circuity in it to transform that to the american standard of 120V/60Hz, so if one was to use it with a device that can't handle both, that's asking for trouble! *actually, it's a german design used in many countries of the EU.
Yeah. For the record, most devices made these days have support for 120V-240V at 50-60HZ and will indicate so on their power supply. This means that you can use a standard pin to pin adapter, although if your device has a ground prong, the adapter must have that too. If this monitor doesn't even have that, I would strongly advise against it.
@@KZNJay Overclocking a monitor can damage it. I currently have a trash 60hz monitor so I do it without caring. But on a 144hz monitor, hell nah. Don't mess with it.

It's type F plug compatible with type E (which is called French Plug, not to be confused with EU plug which is more British standard) Actually it isn't. Korea uses plug type C. Or type F. Type E has two prongs that slot into wall, and one hole which acts as a grounding pin and has often pin coming from the wall to slot into. Type F has only two prongs which slot into the wall and on top and bottom small contacts that connect with the plug. Type F is often compatible with Type E as it can also contain the hole for the ground. So in essence what he has there is type F power cord which can be used in type E's
@@jaroslavsafrata6248 Yeah, F and E are basically the same excluding ground hole. Brits are using G, which has 3 rectangular bolts. Eu in general is using E type in modern and F in older architecture. C is also often seen in EU, as it fits E and F socket
they should really update this but the MSI 24" FHD 1500R Curvature Non-Glare Super Narrow Bezel 1ms 1920 x 1080 144Hz Refresh Rate Tilt Adjustment FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor (Optix G24C4), Black seems to be a good option for its price.
I built a mid-high $2000 gaming desktop, however I am still playing on a 60 fps common screen with it (meanwhile i'm getting over 300 fps in csgo) because $240 for a 144Hz screen is too much for my budget. *fixed error
CE means "conformité européenne" and is only required in the EU. Although it is placed on virtually all devices anywhere in the world as long as it meets certain safety and environmental standards, it is not mandatory in Canada. Still, I wouldn't touch a manufacturer that doesn't put a CE on their devices since it is a self-certification, and not having it pretty much says "We know that we do not even conform to the most basic security standards for electronic products."
Korea uses the same Type F cords that are also used in some EU countries. There's no such thing as a "EU cable". Well.... close enough, you tried looking smart.
Type F or Schuko fits in type F, E, K and L meaning of Europe only Britan, ireland and if you have an cable with earth Switzerland is also out. rest of Europe you can use an type F\Schuko. so it fits in "some" EU countries.

When he sees motion blur, “see where that text gets blurry? That’s a lot of smearing.” 🤣😂
I like how Linus looks to the side to read the script of the product placement
"Our segways are one HELL of an experience" that alone deserves my thumbs up haha
SEGUES
TBH I'm a little tired with the meta-segues.
"Gaming Monitors"
Test all monitors moving desktop windows.
Well done.
It's the easiest way to test pixel response times. It's much harder to discern while gaming.

*uses a 144 hz monnitor then pushes it to 244 hz*
Yeah this is not working....
Well duuh
Ya, got me when he said the writing wasn't well readable when he pushed it to 244 before and then compares this to other monitors at 144 hz. ^^
At least it looked like that.
@@jerome6383 yeah lol
It can do 200-220 though.
ive got mine oc'd to 165hz and it looks great. havent tried anything higher yet, i really dont think i need too.
@@bluerune7305 Many games can't handle frame rates beyond 165-180. I think GTA V started to react very strange if you push it past 168fps.
I ordered this and ITS SUPEEEEEEEER FAST
I recommend this for gamers for gaming streams for fast and very very big space so you don't have to remove games for space
8:55 it's EU plug, damn you
It's type F plug compatible with type E (which is called French Plug, not to be confused with EU plug which is more British standard)
Actually it isn't. Korea uses plug type C. Or type F. Type E has two prongs that slot into wall, and one hole which acts as a grounding pin and has often pin coming from the wall to slot into.
Type F has only two prongs which slot into the wall and on top and bottom small contacts that connect with the plug.
Type F is often compatible with Type E as it can also contain the hole for the ground. So in essence what he has there is type F power cord which can be used in type E's
@@jaroslavsafrata6248 Yeah, F and E are basically the same excluding ground hole. Brits are using G, which has 3 rectangular bolts. Eu in general is using E type in modern and F in older architecture. C is also often seen in EU, as it fits E and F socket

they should really update this but the MSI 24" FHD 1500R Curvature Non-Glare Super Narrow Bezel 1ms 1920 x 1080 144Hz Refresh Rate Tilt Adjustment FreeSync Curved Gaming Monitor (Optix G24C4), Black seems to be a good option for its price.
It is really a great option
Lol the second screen, the plug is also the one we use in Germany, AKA "Schutzkontaktstecker" or "SchuKo"
Linus can you please do a review of HP 25X everyone's saying it's gsync compatible 144hz
Korean power cord? (type F) Has been designed in Germany after ww2.
thank you, i was about to comment that's a european plug. We have them here as well.
He sounds more and more like an American, "we have the best x, y ,z" ;)
I think its also used in russia.
Ist used in nearly all of europe
Ea it's European
how come i have the same monitor the sceptre c24 but I cant overclock to 240???
Pairs cheap 1080p monitor w high end gaming pc
only makes sense
welp
I built a mid-high $2000 gaming desktop, however I am still playing on a 60 fps common screen with it (meanwhile i'm getting over 300 fps in csgo) because $240 for a 144Hz screen is too much for my budget. *fixed error
Theoreminegaming please don’t tell me you use 1080p too?
Theoreminegaming 144hz monitors are closer to 1000
13:51 “5 seconds of wobble if you hit it pretty hard” LOL!
they are more expensive when I check it on amazon. Have they raised the prices for these?
Yep that happens when big tech reviewers try stuff
That may have been my fault. I bought 2 of the scepters the other day and then they were out of stock... Sorry.
Sky Frosties just wait, It will go back to being cheap (it’s bc of covid 19)
I have an element gaming 144hz 27 inch qhd 1ms response time and its great and it only cost me £150 or $190
Hol up, how does a VA monitor have a worse contrast than TN monitor? Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose?
When linus figures out what a control panel is:
*Excuse me wtf*

CE means "conformité européenne" and is only required in the EU. Although it is placed on virtually all devices anywhere in the world as long as it meets certain safety and environmental standards, it is not mandatory in Canada. Still, I wouldn't touch a manufacturer that doesn't put a CE on their devices since it is a self-certification, and not having it pretty much says "We know that we do not even conform to the most basic security standards for electronic products."
8:55
"instead of sourcing multiple different powercords they use all Korean ones"
*holds up an EU cable*
welll..... close enough.
Korea uses the same Type F cords that are also used in some EU countries. There's no such thing as a "EU cable". Well.... close enough, you tried looking smart.
Type F or Schuko fits in type F, E, K and L meaning of Europe only Britan, ireland and if you have an cable with earth Switzerland is also out.
rest of Europe you can use an type F\Schuko.
so it fits in "some" EU countries.
Guys look at the Viotek GN24C. Bezeless 144hz 1080p. $179

12:12 I was expecting Linus to throw it out the window any second
What about a 1440p ultra wide cheapest monitor? I need one of those, possibly 100-120hz, so pleaaase
"you can see how the text is blurry"
is looking at arabic
when he says ITS GOT NIPPLE CONTROL!!! i died
that sceptre screwdriver looks surprisingly nice, if a tad pricey. Still cool that they include a monitor with it though.
Linus, you have the sceptre on 50% color it comes on 50% it’s gross I changed it to 100% and it is more colorful that real life
"12V × 3A = 30W" - Linus
Even with how cheap it is, it would still hz my wallet.
Linus, please review Acer VG270P 144hz IPS monitor
I love my LG. Ultra Gear 27 INCH 1080P 144HZ IPS HDR MONITOR😎
8:48 There is actually a KC mark on top left, which is Korean Certificate, so it won't at least blow up or something.
Recently i bought a Samsung monitor for my first build. It is a 24 inch 75Hz (140€). It is more than i need
8:55 That's actually an EU plug
i could buy 28 beers for the price of one of ur bottles sorry :(
Can you do a video on best 240hz monitors for gaming
what
I would say the Alienware ones are pretty good been using a 240hz Alienware Monitor for a few years and it was totally worth it.
