@falchulk The video does have a lux channel but you still have to gamma ramp to shit to see anything on the screen for the first two monitors. On SDR it's like 'it's a really dark screen with maybe things happening on it' What's the point of trying to show off and sell people on HDR not being a gimick if you need a high end HDR screen to see that anything is happening
Btw, I got baited for a moment at the beginning of the video thinking that the 49" Samsung was in fact the new Odyssey G9 with DisplayHDR 1000 QLED panel.

Add an ANSI C size clipboard. It's a _vast_ improvement over using your leg as a mouse pad, and gives you extra space to stick the keyboard on when you're using your hands for something else.
This is the first video I came across where the comparison between the dynamic range/performance of different HDR capable hardware was demonstrated in a noticeable way in a standard definition video. I had no plans on buying an HDR monitor and when I tried to find information about HDR televisions demonstrated like this from other sources, I came up empty handed.
If you want the best one, you are looking for dolby vision+ tv. If affordable ones, no less than hdr 1000. So, hdr 1000 hdr 1400 hdr 400 *true black* 500 true black, 600 true black.
I bought a 4K HDR monitor two years ago and thought it was going to be amazing. It was not, it was horrible. Everything looked washed out and due to this bed experience I haven't messed with HDR since.
did you turn on hdr in windows settings? If you turn on hdr on a monitor but dont switch it on in windows it will just look super gray and low contrast
I bet it not a 1000 nit, if not it will look washed out like you mentioned and might as well go with sdr, and make sure ucturn on hdr mode on ur monitor and dimming setting
my first reaction when i saw the HDR footage: What is he talking about, this doesn't look like much. Then i remembered that this isn't an hdr video... and i don't have an HDR monitor. Just like this older times when there was an ad on DVDs showing off the incredible qualtity of Blue ray - which it acnt't because well, it's on DVD.
This video should still show much richer colours and brightness, as it is not recorded direct from the source. So what you are seeing is close to what you would see irl. So in other words, they all aint impressive for HDR. Well.....compared to a very good 4K HDR TV anyway.
It also looks like the later monitors are significantly overcranked on brightness. While they'd never have the dynamic range of the higher spec models, you could get much better balance than that on show here with some basic tweaking (even allowing for the non-HDR recording).
I wasnt impressed in the slightest.... sure you can see the contrast between dark and light scenes better but really, it looks washed out and not stricking at all
@@skip741x3 Who the fucks expects a recording of a display to be high quality? Recording screens has always sucked, you just have to look at them in real life. That's like saying the recording of a gunshot is not loud because your speakers don't go up that high.
I tried enabling hdr in windows, I was wondering why it looked like garbage. It's an lg ips 32" qhd computer monitor from costco on sale. This video 100% clarified the issue I was having trying to enable and also calibrate the monitor with hdr enabled. I thankfully have it off now and have properly calibrated the monitor in sdr. Looks like it should now, which is not garbage, aka pretty nice.
Great explanation of the different ranges that are available out there. I was always curious about this but work too much to dive into every tech topic. As usual, you guys did a fantastic job of laying it out for us!
Just so you can compare your own monitor to what Linus is explaining/showing. This scene starts at around 22:55 of "How to Train your Dragon: Hidden World"
You can configure the colors in the monitor settings and with software, I'm sure the cheap ones can improve a lot with enough time to fiddle with them.
I want to say a big thank you for the subtitles. As a french viewer who is still learning english and looking at LTT for a long time now, that helps a lot to understand more the video ! :D
I have that exact newsync monitor. After playing with the colors you can really hone in the picture. Also works great with my 2070 Super. 165 in Apex legends max settings and over 200 in Far Cry 5
Could someone say where this scene is in the movie ? I want to test it out on my projector :) Edit: Its "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" at around 23:45 Minutes
Can we have an update on this? I just got the ROG Strix XG27AQM, with HDR 400 with displayport and looks way better. So is HDR 400 viable now? I believe it is.
This video should be revisited those camera angles change colors so much on these monitors also some just have strobing effect. Would be great to have updated video.
I mean to be fair, when you're focusing on someone in front of you in the dark and there are people in the sunlight outside, they are usually difficult to see
Just from what I've seen in person, HDR 400 is good enough for most people, especially at an entry level cost, and HDR 600 is great for enthusiasts all around. HDR 1000 is nice, but can be way too much sometimes, especially when I'm not trying to blind myself when gaming/ watching things in the dark. Just my opinion of course, and I'm sure there's a million reasons why I'm actually wrong!
That's not how it works though. Real life is not too bright or too dim. Our eyes change and adjust as needed. So when you create a cg image it's your job to make it correct. If you make the outside bright what happens if I focus on it? You'd be stopping my eyes from adjusting to the bright light because the lightest pixels would be clipped. They'd be gone, all turned to white. Your eye could no longer adjust because it's physically not present any more. You can't get it back by closing your eyes a little, it's just gone.
@@flameshana9 Well it depends what the developer/director wants you to see. If you're seeing through the eyes of a character, for example, they wouldn't be able to see in every lighting condition at the same time, it would depend where their focus was
Lienus: the lack of local array dimming does not clip the withes on itself - it actually destroys the blacks because the WHOLE screen needs to adapt it's brightness to the brightest part while still having only 1000:1 contract ratio.
I have a Benq EW3280U which has only HDR 400, but I‘m more than satisfied. 4000 dollars for a monitor is just crazy. Even my PC is only around 2000 and it has a RTX 3080. But I guess rich people don‘t have to worry about budget lol.
@@vindicatelol _MLP is for girly boys named Desmond. I would hug them with my favorite Smother-Pillow just to hear their muffled screams and death rattles. Then throw all the ponies, hooves-first in a wood-chipper._
Michael Gattus nice I’m looking for a 144hz monitor for like 200 quid and that’s like 10x my budget lol. I’ve used that monitor before actually but I didn’t know it was that expensive gg
So glad to see that those shelves are not actually radioactive green like they look in the Apple Wheels video. I'm impressed at just how far they pushed the hue in that one.
You guys are doing a fantastic job given the remote restrictions. The quality gap between when you started filming from self isolation until now is massive. These have been some of my favorite LTT episodes in a long time, just because I love seeing Linus interact with his family. Great going team.
What would happen if you calibrated that cheap monitor? Do you think it would change any? I remember having a 19” Visio TV (this was when 1080p was at half life and 4K was just beginning) and when I calibrated it, it changed a lot. Everything was crystal clear. The colors impressed me.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding HDR for a display. I have a photography background so it's possible I'm seeing the same words but means different things when it comes to delivery and creating imagery. He compliments one screen for having blinding highlights while having detail in the shadows. But I thought the main purpose of HDR was to lower the exposure of highlights, ex) making a white sky blue by underexposing, while increasing the exposure of shadows. In photographs/illustrations you typically have to edit/color correct or bracket two to three photos together to achieve this. This actually lowers contrast but provides much more vibrant colors.
Yesss...Gotta set it to 20, gosh! And if you're using HDMI, gotta look out for the HDMI black level setting. (Although HDR support over HDMI is limited anyway, so yeah)
Great video! Even though by the time the video is playing on my phone what Linus is seeing on the monitor isn't what I'm seeing, I really do enjoy these monitor/TV comparisons. Having someone who you know has a lot of experience reviewing displays and is willing to do non-sponsored comparisons is invaluable.
To be fair, there are some pretty good knock-off peripherals. Not saying RD is though. I used to like Utechsmart until they started doing some sketchy things like trying to take control of your computer, and using spyware built into their software.
How about making a video about ICC profiles and color calibration? Can you calibrate different HDR modes etc. I hated my Acer TN monitor until I changed the ICC profile to the Adobe1998 ICC and raised the vibrancy by 10% in NVidia control panel, now I love it
seeing as you guys keep coming back to the CHG90 I wonder if you're even aware about the existence of the CRG90 (which btw should support HDR 10), I'd have loved a review of it from you
I did, but not because I'm an asshole or a troll, I've been watching Linus for years and love his videos, but I just dislike for that dumb aspect ratio. So don't put me on the same bag as trolls or assholes lol.
at 8:44 you can clearly see the handle marks from the barb-wired whip that Linus used on Anthony when he put the CPU in the wrong direction. Triangle to Triangle! I guess makeup finally forgot to cover that one up...
Hey Linus, Plex doesn’t support HDR on desktop at all. It tonemaps. Only way to get HDR on that monitor would be hooking up a client like a roku or shield to it. So what you were looking at was tonemapped SDR.

Michael Gattus nice I’m looking for a 144hz monitor for like 200 quid and that’s like 10x my budget lol. I’ve used that monitor before actually but I didn’t know it was that expensive gg
I would like to see that $4k Monitor go up against various priced HDR TVs
It would destroy them, since monitors need to be viewed closer than TV's
14:10 Why is there no top like for this time
>Everyone skips the sponsor
Smh my head
Damn I was looking for a comment pointing that out 😂
Actually was an interesting video...maybe a follow up with what the editors use/prefer as their monitor of choice.
I appreciate Linus for having EVERY SINGLE book I have written.

So glad to see that those shelves are not actually radioactive green like they look in the Apple Wheels video. I'm impressed at just how far they pushed the hue in that one.
Me: I need the $4k monitor
walet:you are so funny
Me: wants that $4K Asus monitor
My wallet: in your dreams
The 4K display cost 4K...
you mean in your dreams dream

for 4000 Dollars just get the B9 55' OLED from LG.
Also judging by the size of it,

You guys are doing a fantastic job given the remote restrictions. The quality gap between when you started filming from self isolation until now is massive. These have been some of my favorite LTT episodes in a long time, just because I love seeing Linus interact with his family. Great going team.
What would happen if you calibrated that cheap monitor? Do you think it would change any?
I remember having a 19” Visio TV (this was when 1080p was at half life and 4K was just beginning) and when I calibrated it, it changed a lot. Everything was crystal clear. The colors impressed me.
Linus actually looks like an adult with a beard.
an adult, yes,.. but more like a bum!
"does manscaped to neckbeards too?" "i shaved it today" "oooh!" the ad was finished right there!
He probably should have thrown a fit, "Bitch! You didn't notice!?".
Maybe I'm misunderstanding HDR for a display. I have a photography background so it's possible I'm seeing the same words but means different things when it comes to delivery and creating imagery.
He compliments one screen for having blinding highlights while having detail in the shadows. But I thought the main purpose of HDR was to lower the exposure of highlights, ex) making a white sky blue by underexposing, while increasing the exposure of shadows. In photographs/illustrations you typically have to edit/color correct or bracket two to three photos together to achieve this. This actually lowers contrast but provides much more vibrant colors.
Watching the HDR vide on a NON-HDR display...
Listening to you describe the quality... I gotta take your word for it.
5:00 black equalizer is on 13.
6:35 Linus complains about black equalizer
Yesss...Gotta set it to 20, gosh! And if you're using HDMI, gotta look out for the HDMI black level setting. (Although HDR support over HDMI is limited anyway, so yeah)
I got the CRG9 version, any settings i should have?
5:03
Ducktales? My Little Pony? A man of culture I see :)
Indeed he is

i mean, he has children
I miss the good old CRT times, choice was so much easier back then.
Great video! Even though by the time the video is playing on my phone what Linus is seeing on the monitor isn't what I'm seeing, I really do enjoy these monitor/TV comparisons. Having someone who you know has a lot of experience reviewing displays and is willing to do non-sponsored comparisons is invaluable.
0:58 Well that was a graceful save from nearly dropping the monitor box 😂
WOW I haven’t watched Linus in a while and damn he looks different
Getting back to this channel after a few weeks and Linus is rocking a beard, he's getting more pure Canadian by the weeks. Damn,
ASUS: We're putting the "k" back in thick
Linus: Has a $4000 monitor
Also Linus: Uses a budget Red Dragon mouse and keyboard lol
It's cool since redragon has almost the same quality as mainstream brands
To be fair, there are some pretty good knock-off peripherals. Not saying RD is though. I used to like Utechsmart until they started doing some sketchy things like trying to take control of your computer, and using spyware built into their software.
@@madness1931 Hmm interesting I didn't know about that with Utech
@@anaxyleri286 they never have the mx518
@@madness1931 so 2 dollar mouses who are basically just usb spyware... welp
Hahaha the stands falling off just made my day. So hilarious.😂😂😂😂
How about making a video about ICC profiles and color calibration? Can you calibrate different HDR modes etc. I hated my Acer TN monitor until I changed the ICC profile to the Adobe1998 ICC and raised the vibrancy by 10% in NVidia control panel, now I love it
so no one gonna speak on the white thing in his hair at 3:20?
I think it's polystyrene. It is absolutely horrible for getting everywhere, especially the cheaper stuff.
took the words right outta my keyboard.
3:12 So, you missed the fly? ( •_•)>⌐■-■
Tbh, there's no fly afaik, but there's quite some stutter/artifact on the monitor's side.. (in lower res)
Oh no. The beard has increased his age even more. Shave it off Linus. Or you'll be 70 in no time
“You should never have black bars on every side of the video”
*Me who watches this video with Linus' weird aspect ratio on a regular 16:9 screen*
seeing as you guys keep coming back to the CHG90 I wonder if you're even aware about the existence of the CRG90 (which btw should support HDR 10), I'd have loved a review of it from you
*me watching this on a 10 year old Dell panel* "Oh yeah this looks so good"
Yeah those look way better than my laptop display, even the youtube logo look blurry here, or that's just my eyes
How do you dislike a video when it hasn’t been out out long enough to watch it
Assholes. That's how.
It came out. That's why. All the reasoning you need.
It's pretty easy. See the thumbs down icon just below the video to the right? You just have to click that.
I did, but not because I'm an asshole or a troll, I've been watching Linus for years and love his videos, but I just dislike for that dumb aspect ratio.
So don't put me on the same bag as trolls or assholes lol.
Maybe people disliked the video when they watched the first 30 seconds or less of the video? Think before you write.
Bruh, my RUclips legitimately crash when he begins talking about the pricing of these monitors.
1:05 - 1:18
I bet he's reading a script lol
at 8:44 you can clearly see the handle marks from the barb-wired whip that Linus used on Anthony when he put the CPU in the wrong direction. Triangle to Triangle! I guess makeup finally forgot to cover that one up...
linus: you can see all the little details of our characters
editor: shows angle of the monitor with the most glare and cant see shit
5:21 Good thing you didn't toss it behind you.
Hey Linus, Plex doesn’t support HDR on desktop at all. It tonemaps. Only way to get HDR on that monitor would be hooking up a client like a roku or shield to it. So what you were looking at was tonemapped SDR.
Lmao so all of this video was not representative of actual hdr performance? What a fail lmao
Gosh I love thickness in flat panel displays. That Asus monitor is awesome just by looking at it from here. Please make 10-bit panels the standard!
