    Always surprises me how much Linus knows even compared to his employees. Like he immediately checks the lower viewing angles to determine the TN panels in seconds, checks the two tone gloves for color reproduction, knows that CSGO doesn’t have dark shadows so he compares the blackness of the mini-map, moves the chair away from the desk for motion blur... Meanwhile all the other guys flounder around and take far longer to decide on anything.

I am able to commit quality time with my family and friends and look after my children and also going on family holiday along with them very consistently.

Many human running land speed records were made by people wearing stilts.

  • @RannonSi
    @RannonSi 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    1:10 On that topic. I'd love to see a general but well-done review/test of the different panel technologies - Mainly TN, IPS and VA but I'd love to see what's happening to the sub-genres (E.G. cPVA, S-PVA, MVA, AH-IPS, SVA, PLS, AHVA - Which ones are dead and gone, which ones are in development hell, how many of them are pretty much just a proprietary version of which ones are still promising, are there any new ones and how are they turning out etc.?) and not to forget: other panel-types, like OLED (how far from being viable for PC monitors are they anything interesting happening) etc.
    I was looking for a new monitor awhile ago and the info about panels was about the same as when I bought my old monitor - Meaning that it was rather hard to find some general and up-to-date info about the panel types - As in they were either written around 2010-2012 or they might as well have been with the kind of vague info they were giving I.E. things like: TN panels have worse viewing angle and colour reproduction but are faster than IPS - But nothing that'd compare them or suggest that anything's happened during the last decade.
    So I'd like to "officially" request a comparison video/s!
    Not only between the different panels but between the current panel-technologies compared to five(5) and ten(10) years ago and over different price points, E.G. 150, 300, 500 and 1 200 (maybe even 2 000, for the professionals/rich people) USD, or whatever price-points make more sense (keeping the relative value of the dollar between these dates in mind might be a good idea)!
    Some of the things I'd love to see is one panels types weak points vs the other types E.G. Viewing angles and colour reproduction of a modern TN etc.
    In short, I'm looking for something that could help people decide when (and if) it's time to get a new monitor, E.G. how does the $500 (and $300) TN-panel(s) from 2020 compare (in every way) to the range of $150-2 000 IPS-/VA-panels from 2010 and 2015? And vice versa with the VA- and IPS-panels.

    I bought one of the first Acer Nitro IPS 144HZ panels about a year ago, and I've been genuinely impressed. Motion blur is noticeable, but it still feels responsive and fast, and whether I'm playing Overwatch, CSGO, or Destiny 2 (main game) I can get a BEAUTIFUL picture. Colors are accurate, response is fast enough for competitive play, and movies and videos look amazing. Now I'm just debating getting a Zowie next to it for the really sweat days.
