James is just a goddamn good reviewer. Back when they did their review of cheap wireless earbuds I bought one based upon his recommendation.

[@TheSQL-Lover]

It’s great for PenTesting too. I can have one window at my right side let’s say Kali, and a browser or OneNote ya left side but wide enough to make it very useful. I don’t see myself back using two monitors anymore . Curve monitor are more immersive and use less cables and less desk space .

ok I gota question and since you've been using it you'll know. I only got a 1080 while iam getting a 3080 that wont be probably for a few months. Is a 1080 able to work with something like this?

[@Tyrämisulaari]

I owned an AOC monitor back in the day. Somethingsomething 27". AOC warranty is a joke, especially when it comes to dead pixels. - Few months after buying it, backlight bleeding became an issue. Like 15cm (6 inch?) from the bottom. - Went to the store I bought it from. They sent it to AOC. - Got a "new" monitor after a month of waiting. It had dead pixels. One in the center and like three or four in scattered around the corners or something. - Went to the store again. They are reluctant to send it to AOC since there wasn't enough dead pixels. AOC had a policy or something. Had to argue for a while. - After almost few months, I got the second "new" monitor. Dead pixels and backlight bleeding. - Demand my money back on the phone. They said okay. Went to the store. They said no and that they wouldn't send it to AOC anymore since "not enough dead pixels". - Have a huge argument with the guy because the monitor was supposed to be new. I didn't buy a broken monitor. - Leave since they clearly don't want to help me with this. Remember they had another store few kilometers away and go there. - Explain the situation. The guy asks if it would be OK to send it one more time to AOC and see what happens. Sure my dude, I'm already dead inside. - Third "new" monitor arrives after few months. Same issues. Get my money back and receive apologies for the whole thing. - Get a call few weeks later. It's the guy from the second store: "I had to find out why you had so bad luck with the monitors. It turns out they repair broken monitors and send them as new monitors to customers. Sorry, just thought you should know." Thanks AOC.

My guess is that these videos are made with relatively little video footage. Most likely a couple takes and then edited to make sense.

I have an AOC monitor from June 2017, and yes it was cheaper... - After 1 year some dust particle got inside, looks like some pixels are dead right in the center (sometimes it moves a bit). - After 2 year some pixels on the side actually are dead. I tried contacting AOC trough mail, but didn't get a lot of helpful information. More than 'n' dead pixels are fixed under warranty, but my pixels in the center are not death, just covered by some (sometimes) moving dust particle. So they couldn't tell me upfront if this counts under the 3 year warranty or if I would have to pay for it. Meanwhile my Samsung monitor from 2009 standing besides it has 0 dead pixels. While more than 3 times older. The AOC display is actually the only display I have ever had with dead pixels. Even my laptops, an 8 year old Asus Zenbook and 7 year old Acer Aspire V doesn't have any dead pixels. Where I can't recommend an Asus Zenbook, as it has had the most breakdowns of all the computers I have ever owned: - After 3 ish years the Nvidia GPU broke, causes Windows to BSOD, Debian Linux still works trough Intel HD graphics... - After 3 ish years the Soldered on SSD broke, I had to desolder a jumper on the mobo to get it disabled... - After 2 ish years a broken sata HDD I have replaced with a sata SSD.

@@christophervanzetta well duh that's why they're at a pretty cheap price

After viewing your video i went to the Amazon site and the very first review commented on the lack of customer service and AOC not standing by their warranty. Without first class CS i had to pass on this monitor. Great video by the way !

[@codeman3639]

It's like you guys intentionally ignored the fact that Samsung has the CRG9 49" out which is 120hz 5120x1440... AND the Samsung costs less. But I bet their #ad didn't allow them to mention it.

[@Hadgerz]

With a real HDR1000 rating too, as opposed to this feeble barely-HDR '400 rating

[@RuskiVodkaaaa]

No shit, it's an 'AD' for a reason lol

[@TroublesomeOwl]

not sure about where you are from, but in australia the samsung is $400 more expensive.. which is a hefty chunk of change. Not sure where it costs less, can't find any listings for it costing less, but would be good knowledge to have

[@alexbowen7306]

great video.. ive been rockin a 38 in 1600p ultrawide for about a year now and have been waiting on something to come out that was affordable, wider than what i have now, and at least is 1440p.. im def gonna take a serious look at this... thanks

[@mehutolkki3232]

Samsung has a 1440p version of this ultrawide as well, also at 120hz, and also thousand bucks.

[@TheSailorKing]

Nice James for your first video on this channel. You were too anxious to remember all the details of the screen but chill out a bit it will come up naturally

[@TFallenAngle]

Fools I always have two monitors now in total I got 98 inches of real estate

[@frizzyacademic]

Ha I didn’t even know this wasn’t on LTT after now watching the WAN show. Keen to see more on this channel.

[@Night129]

“Affordable” it’s more expensive than the Samsung one..

[@luca_sbll]

Isn’t the Samsung one 1080p though?

James seems to suit this format of video much better than the main channel.

[@frenak12]

How are you completely ignoring the fact that the Samsung 120hz, 1440p, 32:9, C49RG90 already exists for the same price? You even mention the 1080p version of it but fail to mention the 1440p one

[@Sjekster]

This one has more features though, like the built in KWM switch (which the Dell version has) and the USB-C charging capabilities

i feel like im watching old school ltt and i love it
