Yes he does, but since the monitors were free, it doesn't matter if he drops them...

Also Linus: *$40 desk stand*
It's basically the same as paying for shipping, I'll pay $2000 for all my computer parts, but they're not getting a cent out of me for shipping
On a homemade glass table that can shatter at any time so that those monitors land on face while dropping the stand onto pc components
The thing is though that most stands are that cheap to produce. (Save Apple). There isn't that much complexity or material and just needs strong designed metal frames to hold things in the air. There are plenty of cheap monitor mounts I have at work. 1/3 are great. 2/3 are cheaper crap.
And lets not forget the $x00000 of machining equpiment they have in the workshop, just collecting dust!!

@@coletm7146 yh it is if you saw his youtube post a while ago.
Linus: "Dennis are you ok?"
also Linus "Fill out the F**KING FORM!!"
Yeah thats because Dennis got hurt on the job, and if it gets worse, its on Linus, his employer.
I'd be like Linus too, if one of my employees hurt his back while doing his job.
Linus has a responsibility, and he is actually legally obligated to make sure his employees work in a reasonably safe environment.
@@bonerville3385 bruh
That was uncalled for.
@@shrekthe55thsharkking Actually his original self is gone and it's true I am preparing to unsubscribe if he is not really doing like he used to do in NCIX times
And it's literally every other one demographic that made it worse ala Europe and USA.
@Linus I have this same stand for my two side monitors and I modified it to where you can close the gap between the two monitor AND angle it.
Install as you just did, but when you’re screwing in the top tube to the bottom, stop threading it halfway. Tilt the top tube forward to where it will essentially be at a 85 degree angle. Then , apply the JB Weld to the threads, locking them in place.
Note: once you do this, you can no longer remove the bottom monitor mount. You’ll have to remove the bottom monitor from the mounting plate completely.
Mindful leadership: “Ah I’ll be fine, it’s just a two really heavy monitors” *coworker gets hurt* with heavy equipment* “Dennis do you need a lighter camera?”
I love how Linus is trying to get the monitors mounted by himself in the most uncomfortable way possible and he doesn't want any help, but as soon as Dennis has back pain he immediately tells him to take a break of switch to a lighter camera.
What a caring boss
do it for the vine
Employer's responsibility
Actually made him go fill out an incident report too. I've had a few on the job back injuries (later found out I have scoliosis), and I was always railroaded every time it happened, accused of faking it, that kind of stuff. I have constant back problems now.
@@Brunnen_Gee that's why you have unions and HR to report these things. And of course do the sensible thing and bring it up with a union if they fire you for refusing to do work for injuries they are ignoring.

@@haplopeart yeah being a dick boss is a fast way of losing business because all your employees resigned
April's fools linux would've yelled at poor Dennis for getting hurt
They're his only friends.
Wouldnt it be more useful to flip the top monitor, so y
You can turn the monitor upside down to have fewer edges between the monitors and on the nvidia panel there is an option to rotate it 180º and set it straight
2005: "Wow! These new flat-panel monitors are so light!"
2020: "OMG!... so heavy!"
To be fair a 56" CRT monitor would still significantly outweigh these.
Both of these (excluding the stand) are about the same weight as a single 19"CRT.
But there are SOME 21" CRT:s that weight more than those two combined. But don't know with the stand.
@@jouniosmala9921 With the stand that whole setup is probably still lighter than a 21" CRT, these were quite chonky
@@SteelSkin667 I actually found some that were lighter and some that were heavier.
I was scared he'd drop that whole thing right on the glass, shattering it, all the liquid cooling, and a couple thousands of dollars worth of hardware
I just appreciate the effort and organization for the production team
5:45 that’s the “that wasn’t very funny, but I want a raise” laugh
Normal people: (treats $800+ monitor like a prince)
Linus: Lets try putting it on a 27” stand
The stand is like $30 too lol
Speaking from recent experience, mount makers just haven't caught up yet to ultrawide weight.
Yeah, I can't wait to see the carnage when the stand gives out while he was away.
I feel like he could’ve used arm wall mounts instead cuz then he could fit one for each monitor but the single stand struggle is what we (don’t) pay to see 😂
@@genderender lucky you if I had to buy a similar stand it would be about 100 $
"with no bezel down the middle"
nobody tell him
TeLL hiM WhAt?
"down" the middle...
He really should have flipped the top one
@@papiokok it's a figure of speech for splitting something in 2 equal halves
(That's what half is, 50%)
If you're splitting a bill down the middle, the underside has nothing to do with it
Upgrades from 16:9 to 21:9 to 32:9 to eventually go back to 16:9 just in a roundabout way of going old school and using split screen. Glorious.
5:46 I sync with Linus on that. 😂

@@h.b.5577 lol
@@h.b.5577 I would! And the last thing in my history would be Monty Python's "Funniest Joke in the World" sketch. Give the conspiracy theorists something to chew on.
Personally, I would have mounted the top monitor upside down on the vesa mount so the thinner top bezels are butting up against each other. Minimizes your total bezel between the monitors, though I guess in this case it isn't much of an issue.
that'll make it bgr though, making things like text look off.
exactly the setup that i want !!
for now, im gotta be happy with single LG ultrawide 29"
Linus: "go fill in a form...Dennis!..fill in the form!!"
Linus 2 minutes later: "AUW!!!"
At LTT, they likely have an entire stack of forms pre-printed for how often they hurt themselves (usually Linus, though).
Linus is just trying to improve his image after april fools :3
@Jean-Louis Bourgeois y..yeah!! What he said!
Linus' pot and Linus' kettle should really hang out more and discuss colors.
Jean-Louis Bourgeois who hurt you?

You know it’s dope tech when Linus almost drops $5000 worth of it while simultaneously hurting his neck, shoulders, and back xD
Dumbass Linus. The top one needs to be flipped so the bezel is minimal between them. god you're stupid.
@@curt8806 Yup that's what I did
@@curt8806 Yeah, you sure told him, didn't you. /golfclap
I feel the struggle. I have a few monitors and it's always awkward getting them moved around, wiring all correct etc.
I'm VERY tempted to get one of these ultra wides one day..
I've had dual 49" dell monitors for a while now, it's been amazing.
Which desktop stand do you use for them?
Linus 2017: "This 43 inch 16:9 monitor is too big for desktop use, just get something smaller and save money"
Linus 2020: Builds the world's most expensive 55" HDTV out of 2 monitors.
55" HDTV...that's split down the middle...horizontally. WHY?!
& also the entire monitor setup is 16:9 in total
@@furjaden8553 See 16:9 is still the best resolution
@@EtherImperial I found 16:10 to be way more comfortable in a dual side by side setup. I find that with 16:9s I rarely use the outer space on the second monitor. Maybe the problem is exaggerated a bit since I have one of them dead center for gaming.
I can almost feel instant regret, this was very expensive and didnt look/feel good. Can't wait for the dumb curved monitors trend to die off it's completely unpractical and ridiculous.
Linus' wife overhears:
Dennis: "Quit touching it!"
Linus: "And I might touch it again!"
combine that with 5:45
Lol
I still using that G710+ too, found it in 2016 on a US / Canada Thrift Store here in PH for $5 (P 200, wish that bought the whole stock) and oh God... I fell in love with this Mech Keyboard...
Excellent results - as a 49" AGON user - I can't see using anything else. Thanks (two wouldn't work without a gap - as the On screen buttons are on the bottom right - but the remote would cover most issues :)

"People paid good money to see me struggle" - man i haven't paid for shit. However, i do enjoy watching Linus struggle lol
bro any time you watch an ad on here you're paying lol
The very act of watching the video and seeing / hearing the segway means you did pay for the video in an indirect way.
Linus: "People are paying to see me struggle."
Me: "I'm not so sure about that... I would get way less heart attacks if you would just get some help with that...."
6:00 (ish) I have the SAME mount with two (2) 32" ultra wides...it DOES work, but I feel your pain on installing it!
8:45
Linus: "Hopefully it won't scratch the glass."
Me: "I hope that glass doesn't f**king break!"
It’d be a BAD day for anyone sitting at that desk... probably even their last day...
I like how Linus hurts himself several times in this video but the moment Dennis shows any discomfort he's like: You're out, go take a break!
Sign of a good boss, just make sure you also take care of yourself :)
Also quite impressed that the glass/plastic top of his desk didn't crack under the weight.
It's gonna crack soon
He also is probably quick to make sure people don't get hurt due to having to pay workers' compensation of they do get injured. Along with being a good boss to, I think.
EDIT: Typos
Grey Patton, and I’m pretty sure you didn’t actually mean a ‘shore’.
@@erikhjortsater5461 *"shore"* he does...
Hjortsater yep
its nice the linus cares so much for his crew, when he said "go fill out the F*** form" I think he ment go fill out a work place injury form so that way he can probably get some time off and get paid.
I'm sure it's a limitation of the stand; but I'm curious as to if you could flip the upper monitor over, so the bezel between the monitors is that much smaller.
You'll need a grave that says "Death by falling monitor" for when the stand finally gives up
ooooh yes

@Linus Tech Tips : I'd love a follow up on how you ended up using it, with a webcam and so on, and how your workflows changed, if at all.
I just got the CRG9 and wanted to mount my old 27" above it so I used this mount. And can confirm, I thought I was going to shear off the bolt trying to get it so the monitor didn't droop. Ended up using my ratchet and and extension bar for leverage, I almost threw the impact wrench at it but sanity prevailed.

It is tempered, so... It would spiderweb before outright shattering.
@@ShadowDragoon004 no... since its tempered it should be spectacular explosion. I don't think the glass is laminated to spiderweb before exploding.

Looks good as long as you need that.
But just tape a slice of black sponge
or any dark material to cover the gap between the 2 monitors,
so you will never see light coming from behind them!
-Stand rated for 20KG max
-Puts on 30KG "it will be fine"
What's the worst-case scenario? They fall and get broken? It's not like he's paying for this :p
Mostly it just slips over time, and if you force it back basically you are grinding the friction mount, what he needed was a ratchet wrench with a hex bit socket, then you can crank it down hard enough the first time to make sure it never droops.
wackity shack But then Linus is known for having dropped stuff. Where would the fun be without that?
Linus: my NEW monitor!
Me: Thats not a monitor, it’s a whole IMAX
no
How about 3D printing up some kind of spacer/block that can be placed into the bracket near the pipe, that way it will help keep the screen at the angle you want? That way it’s not just the clamp/Allen bolt holding it in place.
Nice setup! I could get used to this.

Suggestion for ergonomics: modify the computer/desk to stand on the base of an electrically motorized legs. That way you can work either sitting or standing and always easily adjust the height to match your position. That's what I do, and it's great. And while you're at it, add rollers on the bottom to be able to easily move the desk for maintenance, cable management etc.
you really lived up to the "Techy Michael Scott" name in this one Linus
8:30 riddle me this: what if you had mounted the top one upsidedown? then you could have less of a bezel inbetween.
exactly what i was going to ask
yeah... was thinking that too

Holy shit that's right
Won't the image will also be flipped then?
Linus: *switches monitors*
Gaming Monitor Makers: *RELEASE EVERYTHING WE HAVE!*
@TelaTech Yeah Lol
@LTT Now that its done wouldn't it have been better to mount the upper monitor upside down? To make the dividing bezel less obtrusive.
You shouldve place the top screen Upside down to get rid if the bottom vessel at the middle intersection.
