Thanks for the video. The disassembling of the speaker is the unique occasion to add a mecanical connector for battery wires instead of unweld on this small pcb which is the risky operation.
This was the best video I have seen on this topic. Thank you so much for this!
I can only say thanks for this, since this gives me the confidence that I one day can replace the battery. As we know this accumulators are the No1 show stopper for these devices which is a joke since this is a €9,- device in lots. I found a 700mA 3,8V with an appropriate size already in google within minutes. IMHO companies should be forced to provide replaceable batteries only for environment protection. I wonder why the EU does not demand such things but concentrates on banane curving and vacuum cleaner power and other bull.
Good vid
The problem with VA is often the horrendous viewing angles, nothing more annoying than seeing the colors shift all around edges of your perception because VA has to be viewed straight on to get the most accurate colors, honestly very disorienting.
Damn man, Gaming on an OLED now and I do not miss the motion blur. I almost forgot what it looked like.
SO i have a windows 11 surface pro and I have a doc, I actually am able to 2 2 monitors and extedned now it the monitors are a red tint. WHat do I need to do?
very good. much thanks. such appreciate. digging through huge lists on pc-parts website trying not to make huge mistakes with the only dollars i has.
Thanks for the video, can I find the scroll wheel on internet ? Mine is broken but not the encoder. Thank you 👍
I'm kinda confused because he showed how awful VA does look when scrolling on dark theme and then proceeds to tell he recommends it for coding where you actually scroll a lot
great video
is the va one ok for flight simulator 2020 (2024) type gaming?
I have no sound
Is it normal if I already see this IPS glow in the corners on a completely dark screen from looking straight at it from about 70 cm distance? Especially in the dark to be fair but with my desk lights its a little noticeable on like YT cause I use dark mode everywhere
Thank you
Looks like they have the same loudspeakers as the Bose 700s. Great loudspeakers for classical music especially string instruments.
i have a va 4k60 tv and have none of these issues why?
watching this and doing loads of ufo test I learned i was very lucky and got a real good VA monitor for the price. it only slacks on a grey background
I don't know if i'm lucky or have weird eyes, but i had until 5 hours ago a MSI VA 165hz monitor (forgot the model, something 273CQC or whatever). There was absolutely NO ghosting or smearing. None. And yes, it really was a VA. not an IPS, OLED, TN, what have you. The colors were awesome, and the blacks... oh man, the blacks. Deepest, perfectest blacks i've seen on a monitor EVER. (That sounded weird oops lol) And again, NO SMEARING. No ghosting, no overshooting, no nuthin'. And then my cat slapped it to death, making it fall to the ground and fracture the screen to death. I miss my screen :(
❤❤❤❤❤
less than 1 min into the video and you definitely deserve a sub.
I bought a 165hz Sceptre monitor and the ghosting was terrible. My old monitor at 60hz actually looked better..
i was about to pull the triger on an mini led VA, thanks for helping with this information brother, that black smear is big dealbreaker for me.
Thank you! I wanted to see whats under that plastic cover. And removable wifi also suprised me! Thanks for wideo
I guess your VA pannel is total crap, because this kind of thing with white text on black background (and did not notice anything like that during gameplay) : Samsun C24FG73QUXEN
Easy and cheap fix. It made a difference as soon as I put my headphones on and I can wear them for longer now without the fatigue. THANK YOU
can i change the number assigned to the laptop like the monitor as the main screen that opens stuff like games?
I used VA panel for about a year didn't know much about black smearing but after using an IPS panel, I couldn't go back to VA because image looked blurry after IPS, but of course IPS has that annoying backlight bleed. In the end I wished that I went for a high quality VA panel.
The pcba design is very much poorer than sony wh-1000 series.
Watching in 2024 due to black Friday sales.
i already order va monitor didnt know it was this bad 💀
no it's not that bad. if you got a new good va it's much better

great video, huge thanks for showing internals of the mouse
thank you.
Excelente trabalho! Impressionate o nível de detalhes e a abordagem de diversos cenários de uso. Didático e muito bem explicado. Fico imensamente grato, amigo. Muito obrigado!
In short, VA doesn't stand for viewing angle.
very helpful and super easy step by step, thanks !!!!
TN 60 hz are the best
I love the GX85(GX80 or GX7Mii) and GX9. They are feature rich, small, and lightweight. The EVF is small but adequate, not garbage. Also it is there. Many small bodies lack an EVF. Love the touch screen. As this is a photography centric body it is right that the screen tilts. 16MP is all this body needs. The video feature are what you’d expect from a LUMIX camera. Why the microphone jac wasn’t included is a head scratcher. Image quality is excellent. The L monochrome B&W jpeg is very good. The L monochrome D on the GX9 is my favorite B&W jpeg. I was so happy last month to purchase in NYC a GX85 with the battery charger for $300. What a bargain. Glad this body and GX9 aren’t cult classics. Hard to believe this is a 10 year old camera. I highly recommend the GX85/9 for street/travel/EDC.
Really good explanation..no need to watch other videos of comparison between these two panels especially for black background 👍
QUESTION: Toshiba has said the 55" C350 model I just bought from Best Buy is an IPS. However, the screen behaves like a VA with verry poor veiwing angles that lose brightness and color - especially with a color such as orange. For some reason the blue colors aren't as noticeable. But take just one step to the left or right changes the color intensity. That is NOT the behavior of an IPS. That is what happens with a VA. Toshiba uses a VA panel in the 75" model. I'm wondering if the 55" model now uses a VA panel for 2024. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Viewing angles are important.
Thank you, all set up now. 😊
I'm just here to learn how to notice something that makes my gaming experience worse
it was realy useful, tnx
this video is so fun, i love how simply you explained it. What a great video!
Some of the LED have gone out now, very hard to read the numbers, I'm guessing there is no fix for that, but I'm finding it impossible to find a replacement with the Google connection feature, suggestions anyone?
I don’t have a pc i have laptop and I want to make a monitor like two monitors the laptop and monitor and I don’t know how to don’t use the laptop as a pc for the monitor
great video
It would seem my LG 32GK650F VA panel is able to differentiate the black smearing test. This is excellent to see as it gets all the benefits of low contrast, accurate colors, and its cheap. Pretty jazzed!
Sorry but that viewsonic VA panel seems particularly lousy. Especially that text comparison. How much does that one cost? Did I get lucky? My LG in comparison darkens only a touch.
