This is exactly the review I was looking for, thank you for the honesty and *especially* the portion about the frame. I was thinking the same as you, that is so unfortunate!
I disagree though about "There is only anime" party. There are literally 100s of posters, in different categories. Beaches, natures, forests, sunsets, mountains, rivers, temples.... you name it. I wouldn't be too discouraged but to go and have a look. Me personally, I would probably take 2 nature posters. And did he say I can send and print my own? I had no idea about that. That's cool to know.
Thanks for this vid. Had my displates with frames in the cart and ready to check out and just, for giggles, wanted to see reviews. Glad I found this video because I agree, frames are not as advertised.
Yeah, I've seen a ton of stolen/infringed art on there. I'm also disappointed how there isn't a smooth frame option, and instead it is all fake "wood" texture from what I've seen. It would also be nice to have a single piece for the XL versions in the future. I think the current offering may simply be a logistical issue (printing and/or shipping limitations but it would be nice to have down the road.
Frames always crop over the images but for a product like this, a frame makes no sense to get unless you are specifically wanting the aesthetic of having it framed like a normal picture. Frames are always expensive too for regular pictures… huge mark ups
Haven't bort from here there's acuppull I want like 11 but I got frames with my anime posters and the frames were 109 but they look awesome the frame on this video looks garbage lol but pretty much don't get the XL and the smalls not worth and don't get a frame on displate we learnt today but I want a cuppull date a live posters favorite anime
I got the Elden Ring map with a frame thinking it would be an actual frame that I could slide the plate in and was very disappointed when opening the package. I can live with it though, but I'm never ordering a "framed" Displate again.
I think with the XL you can do some cool stuff with them, having the gap, or having them off set in a cool pattern. Rather than being right next to each other 😅
Not really something you'd expect me to review on the channel, but I've been ordering a lot of Displate's for my new office, and have a couple complaints.. overall I think the product is worth it, but I wanted to share my opinions
Can add that they don't offset the actual graphics on XL. The print follow the curve of the four individual plates resulting in lost print and in my case, cohesive text.
I am in Canada also. I am debating purchasing also, to replace a lot of glass covered photographic prints of whales and dolphins. I used to collect them way back when and have kept them for over 20 years and when I unpacked them after my move up here, I found they were all water damaged. I cannot replace them, since they no longer make them. I was wondering though, how strong are the magnets? I like most people around here, live in a trailer house. Sometimes it shakes a bit when like doing laundry and I need to know they will stay put. No one seems to be talking about magnet strength. Thank you for also showing the difference in matte and shine and warning about the frame and just exactly what the sizes are, in comparison to like the length of your arm.
Thank you so much man. I was really considering purchasing one of these products due to all the ads on RUclips, and now I will definitely make sure I'm careful when buying one of these. And I've visited the website already they aren't cheap
Thanks for this! I don't know if they have since updated their website to clarify things after your video, but I did have quite a clear idea what I was buying. Your video still helped confirm my thoughts about the fake frame though! I also had similar concerns regarding copyright and whether the artists were the original. So I'll definitely have to do a bit more research on the individual artists. Also, I can't decide between Medium and Large - Large is definitely better for the artwork that I have in mind but Large needs two magnets, which is a hassle. The Medium only needs one magnet but it's probably too small to see the artwork detail (they are maps with wording)... Decisions, decisions... 🤔
It really depends where you plan on hanging it up, but as you mentioned the double magnet means you could only replace it with another large. Honestly a single magnet would work with a large, it just might have issues after a longer period of time
I assumed it was a real wooden frame, very misleading marketing. It wouldn't have been as big a deal to me if it wasn't so much more expensive. Kinda feels like spitting in the face of a customer who's willing to spend more for your product. Wish I would have just made my own frame for 1/4 the cost.
Oh this is great and if anyone is just looking at this right now they are having a sale right now. Thanks for the tips about the border and the glass finish, those tips look essential.
I bought some Displates on black friday as a christmas present for my sister. And they were still crazy expensive here in the US, so they must be insane prices up there in CA.
I am a Displate artist. Should in case you have a beautiful picture of you and your sister and would love to have it as a Displate. I can help with the upload absolutely for free. Just let me know about it.
Dude, that picture with the frame looks awesome, at least on the video. I think you're nitpicking. That being said, I think I'll order mine without the frame, as I'm aiming for modern and minimal look in my interiors.
I wish Displate would just give me a tool to design some of my own metal posters. I liked the idea of an order 66 lumino poster but instead it crams so much imagery into it that it doesnt look recognizable. I love displate for how thin the posters can be on the wall and how easy it is to store and swap. I need to figure out if I want to try textra or not. It's quite a bit more expensive but gives that LE look and feel.
I think they look great, but you are right.. the frame is not worth it at all, and if somehow they would make XL just one big displate without the lines in between, then it would be a must-buy however I get it why because having it shipped like that increases the probability of bending.
While I don't mind buying third party for a product that just can't be made by an original seller, there's a bunch of smaller metal poster businesses that will just accept an image and give you basically the same product for cheaper. I'd prefer to buy it from the copyright holder but when that's not the option... might as well go for the cheaper option.
I have 2 just ordered another 4 they take forever to ship but look great and have tons of options plus i think if u pay for displate club u get a custom one
Here I am looking at my 3 Medium sized “framed” posters thinking.. I should’ve watched this video before I ordered any posters. Regardless, glad they are comic covers so I guess it could’ve been worse…
Great video review / discussion and to point out the frame overlaying the image. Yours look nice great setup wish i had the space to do that in. I down sized so no chance anytime soon
I do have a question for you I know you were talking about how plagiarism is (might be remembering the wrong word) cuz I have these like identifying photos for certain regions of pokemon but they're not mine and I don't want to get in trouble for using them. One picture I have says birds of the kanto reigion and another that says insects of the johto reigion
I think you missed an opportunity to talk about the difference between gloss versus matte versus textra, visually. That's what I'm trying to find right now.
Funny how they still have kid from majora´s mask and other zelda "inspired" artworks. Heck they have loads of nintendo artwork but none of it is officially licensed. Strange that nintendo hasn´t asked them to take it down knowing how they stand in regards to copyrights. Wouldn´t want that "fake" artwork on my wall anyway. I own several cyberpunk displates and just ordered the LE edition elden ring displate. But those are all officially licensed by namco or cdpr.
I was checking this website recently and was looking through some artists, and oh boy, do most of works look like they are made by AI? I mean, as an artist myself I would expect to see original works of art, but instead got tons of generated images, that could be made within seconds using a fckng computer... I dunno, it seems unfair to me that some ppl make money of it
i got 2 posters around a year ago and it was great all the art on the sight looked official and over all well done. then about a month ago i wanted to get one for a friend so i went on the site and was absolutely shocked by the amount of obvious ai art that had flooded on there since i last purchased mine. safe to say i did not end up buying anything from there and wont be doing so in the future. If im going to spend 100$ on a poster i want that money going to an actual artist not some get rich quick wanna be ai artist.
I just got my first 2 displate posters, and I'm VERY disappointed, neither of them came with the magnets, just the posters and nothing else. And, one of the posters, despite being crisp and legible on their site, came VERY pixelated and blurry and it's impossible to read any of the words on the poster, even with it right in front of my face... I feel like I've been straight up deceived and lied to.
the thing with the frame is kinda fucked up. on the site it looks like the frame gets added to the full picture and does NOT crop it. but the listed size of the picture stays the same with and without frame while as you said..the frame crops the picture
im only considering buying one because of the copyright violations lol. only problem is i have to buy one to join the "club" before i can upload my own images.... I just want Pokémon displate with mew and Nintindo can eat a bag of diddos...
Didn't know the XL was just 4 pictures together. Everything else I have noticed about the site & purchases. Will remember not to get the XL from now on. Thanks fam!
This is exactly the review I was looking for, thank you for the honesty and *especially* the portion about the frame. I was thinking the same as you, that is so unfortunate!
Same, as soon as he showed that the frame is just a texture slapped on top, i thought this feature isn't worth it.
I disagree though about "There is only anime" party. There are literally 100s of posters, in different categories. Beaches, natures, forests, sunsets, mountains, rivers, temples.... you name it.
I wouldn't be too discouraged but to go and have a look. Me personally, I would probably take 2 nature posters.
And did he say I can send and print my own? I had no idea about that. That's cool to know.
i always enjoy these types of videos because it feels like i’m just chillin with one of the homies having a conversation
Same.
U not got any homies to hang out with or something

You need some friends man
They removed a LARGE amount of the inventory, I believe due to copyright issues!
Oh really? Oh no... should have bought them earlier then. :/
Short, clear and honest review. This is the best kind of video. Much appreciated.

I have 30+ Displates with zero issues. Always watch reviews on the frames before buying.
I'm going to get some but I'm stuck on gloss or matte. How shiny is the gloss on your typical living room wall? Any advise would be much appreciated.
Frames always crop over the images but for a product like this, a frame makes no sense to get unless you are specifically wanting the aesthetic of having it framed like a normal picture.

perfect review thought the title was clickbaity but if i was gonna order the frame i 100% would have wanted to know this
I got the Elden Ring map with a frame thinking it would be an actual frame that I could slide the plate in and was very disappointed when opening the package. I can live with it though, but I'm never ordering a "framed" Displate again.
I think with the XL you can do some cool stuff with them, having the gap, or having them off set in a cool pattern. Rather than being right next to each other 😅
yeah it could look like a cross window frame in the middle looking out to the veiw in a sense etc
Not really something you'd expect me to review on the channel, but I've been ordering a lot of Displate's for my new office, and have a couple complaints.. overall I think the product is worth it, but I wanted to share my opinions
Was just looking into buying as a gift so thank you for this review, I would have been gutted with the frame had i not known!
Can add that they don't offset the actual graphics on XL. The print follow the curve of the four individual plates resulting in lost print and in my case, cohesive text.
The thing with the frame is, If you aint blind, you know what you gonna get. Just read and look what you are doing on the website.
Thanks. I'm a first time buyer from displate and this review is very helpful.

Never knew about the frames. I have 12 of these. Mostly limited editions. So I'm really glad I never bothered with the frame option! Cheers dude!

Very valuable video THANK YOU! As a first time displate customer you just saved me money! Like I said very valuable video.

Thanks for your input. Just found out about these and looking into getting one before I buy more.
i have an xl and its sick. they are expensive tho. i agree the frame is a rip off. to be fair it does show it cropped but it is slightly misleading
Fantastic video just what I was looking for, more information about the frame thankyou for your advice
I bought some Displates on black friday as a christmas present for my sister. And they were still crazy expensive here in the US, so they must be insane prices up there in CA.
Also expensive in the eu, still 10 euro shipping, got 36% off for halloween and it still was 40 bucks
I am a Displate artist. Should in case you have a beautiful picture of you and your sister and would love to have it as a Displate. I can help with the upload absolutely for free. Just let me know about it.
Thank you SO much for making this video! I never would have known this and it definitely helps me to make a better decision.
Thank you for this review, it really helped!!

Thanks for the honest review! it really helps
Love my Displate. I ordered two and they both are awesome
Thank you so much! I myself wondered whether I should pay extra for the frame, but since it is just a texture, I will not get it!
I think they look great, but you are right.. the frame is not worth it at all, and if somehow they would make XL just one big displate without the lines in between, then it would be a must-buy however I get it why because having it shipped like that increases the probability of bending.
The xl and frame notes are actually insane tbh
very useful info in the video, cheers mate
Just what I needed to hear 😀 wanted frame but now i now I will buy without.
While I don't mind buying third party for a product that just can't be made by an original seller, there's a bunch of smaller metal poster businesses that will just accept an image and give you basically the same product for cheaper. I'd prefer to buy it from the copyright holder but when that's not the option... might as well go for the cheaper option.
thanks for this... I am pondering buying one
Thanks for the tips, much appreciated!
dont forget, when the plates fall from the wall, they can destroy your floor.
"It's going to end up in one of their video games" 2:30 , that's prey (2017)
Thanks for this video - very informative!
What is that plate which you are holding for the majority of the video of the large building with Chinese writing?
thanks this actually helpmed me i just bought one, would have got xl
I have 2 just ordered another 4 they take forever to ship but look great and have tons of options plus i think if u pay for displate club u get a custom one
Amazing video! Clear and concise, as all reviews should be
The dude rambled about things that don't even have any place in a review, for over half the video, wdym.
Do u believe it will stay attached even if someone has a bit of a grainy wall ?? Thanks
Probably not
It depends ONLY on how well you stick the base protective paper
Here I am looking at my 3 Medium sized “framed” posters thinking.. I should’ve watched this video before I ordered any posters. Regardless, glad they are comic covers so I guess it could’ve been worse…
You saved my life.. I had 36 in the cart. Thinking about buying it one by one. Now I'm not so sure about that..
I was gonna buy 2 lol. I’m hesitating too but I might just donit
Nice eye liner bro.
Yooo thank you for this. Was debating the frame. But definitely not after this
So without the frame boarder, is it worth the extra $10 for gloss over matte?
There is SO much IA images too
Great, informative video. 💯
thanks for this brother 👍
So if i wanna buy 4 mediums I might as well upload them all stitched together in 4 quadrants and buy as an XL to save money?? hmmm
Great video review / discussion and to point out the frame overlaying the image. Yours look nice great setup wish i had the space to do that in. I down sized so no chance anytime soon
You could get one framed.
No glass required.
Glass is for practical reasons not aesthetics.
Bought 4 small anime ones and was not disappointed
Nice review, thanks!
i have one but I am scared to put it up because i think it if it falls it will damage my floor.
What’s the medium isometric one you were holding up? That one looks great!I have 2 from Vaati on the way :)
Excellent suggestions 😁😁
1:56 HEYY I HAVE THAT DISPLATE 😂 its amazing
Great video great info thanks
Wow I own a single displate and it’s the same dark souls one that you have
Do you know how to apply the discount codes?
Thanks for the info!
I do have a question for you I know you were talking about how plagiarism is (might be remembering the wrong word) cuz I have these like identifying photos for certain regions of pokemon but they're not mine and I don't want to get in trouble for using them. One picture I have says birds of the kanto reigion and another that says insects of the johto reigion
And the pictures of the pokemon have sort of a real life ish look to them even though the pictures still have an animated look to them
Do you only buy posters from displate, or is there any other online sites you would recommend, specially with Canadian prices :)
I think you missed an opportunity to talk about the difference between gloss versus matte versus textra, visually. That's what I'm trying to find right now.
Funny how they still have kid from majora´s mask and other zelda "inspired" artworks.

If im going to spend 100$ on a poster i want that money going to an actual artist not some get rich quick wanna be ai artist.
When it comes the sizes... what is youe height, give me a better idea to compare it an actual person than measuring the dimensions on a wall
really helped me! Thanks
The reason they make the argument that you can swap them out is to appeal to whales with unlimited money who are gonna build a gigantic collection
What is the picture you are holding from 1:17 ?
they really need to make some eminem displates, i want to fill my wall with them, but they don't so i just ordered posters, and got frames for it
How long does it take to ship from them?
I just got my first 2 displate posters, and I'm VERY disappointed, neither of them came with the magnets, just the posters and nothing else. And, one of the posters, despite being crisp and legible on their site, came VERY pixelated and blurry and it's impossible to read any of the words on the poster, even with it right in front of my face... I feel like I've been straight up deceived and lied to.
You may never see this comment but I have that exact Dispmate in the far left of the 3 shown. I liked it since it's a parody of From Software games
the thing with the frame is kinda fucked up. on the site it looks like the frame gets added to the full picture and does NOT crop it. but the listed size of the picture stays the same with and without frame while as you said..the frame crops the picture
4 displates to Australia, 397 bux lol
cool to see the size comparison on video fast. thanks
What's the depth of the regular magnet?
Useful info. 👍
Anyone know what song he used as the background like 4:41
Sounds like a Zelda great fairy fountain remix.
SOOOOO helpful!!!
@Scyushi Can they last in bathrooms with all the steam,sweat etc?
great video, thanks a lot! buuuuut you do need an "end up" counter
im only considering buying one because of the copyright violations lol. only problem is i have to buy one to join the "club" before i can upload my own images.... I just want Pokémon displate with mew and Nintindo can eat a bag of diddos...
Didn't know the XL was just 4 pictures together. Everything else I have noticed about the site & purchases. Will remember not to get the XL from now on. Thanks fam!
Thank you for your video bro.
The frames - I would interpret this as a scam and be very upset.
My displates that I payed for , would keep falling down .. so didn't buy another one ,
Best review ever just wow saved me so much mony this would of ticked me off beyond belief
is this guy wearing eyeliner?
Why do you have black nail polish sir
