I wouldn't worry about burn in. I've had my CES 2016 limited edition Hewlett Packard x360 Spectre with 1440p OLED since well CES 2016 so that's 3½ years now, and I use it as my main driver for at least 10 and in most cases 14 hours every single day. There's no hint of burn in at all. Literally none.
Hey Linus! Why can't we use Toslink like fiber cables instead of copper HDMI and/or DP? Doesn't fiber cables have very high (if not infinite) bandwidth?
"Buying a 3300 dollar machine, just to watch Netflix, is maybe not the best idea." I dunno Linus, people buy MacBooks just to post stupid things on Twitter.

I keep hoping that Razer will improve the build quality of its machines, because my first (and last) Razer laptop started coming apart after just under a year. And Razer's customer service was simply terrible...
Same here, I only replaced my >10 year old Razer Lycosa Mirror a few months ago because I could get a great deal on a Corsair K70. It's still in perfect working shape and it barely shows any signs of wear and tear. My equally old Razer Mamba (1st gen) was only replaced 2 years ago because my GF saw me looking at a video Linus did about the Logitech G502 and bought one for my birthday. Though the battery became too bloated due to hydrogen accumulation to be usable after 7 years and it showed some heavy wear marks, it travelled back and forwards between my dorm and my parents house every weekend for over 5 years and was still in perfect (wired) working order. In all fairness, I did go through 2 Razer Krakens before replacing either of them and that headset was only released in 2012, by then both my mouse and keyboard were 3 years old. Though they also accompanied me on my weekly trips.
Oho? Have you not seen more problems razer had? Shitty frying motherboards, overheating like a bitch, PCH overheating, keep naming them. Razer is pure shit lol
As someone who doesn't care about refresh rate, I mainly want to see more OLED computing displays for gaming, legibility, and reduced eye-strain. As long as the GPU doesn't chug running 4k, I'm fine with it at 60Hz. Hopefully Asus releases a Zephyrus with this panel.
That 1 year burn-in test from Rtings you showed was a lifesaver when I was shopping for a TV and considering the LG OLED. Before it, I wasn't sure how realistic burn-in concerns were. It convinced me to buy one, because burn-in basically isn't a problem unless you are really, really, really on the outer edges of weird usage. Basically if you're not watching a single news channel 24/7/365, you won't have any issues. You mentioned HUDs in games, but they tested that. No burn-in from that. Not even any burn-in from score displays on sports channels (which surprised me, they seemed similar to the logos from news channels but I guess they change often enough). I would be worried about PC use, though. Hell, I have visible burn-in on my Asus ProArt LCD panel I'm using right now, a permanent dark bar on the right because of UA-cam.
I'm starting to get sick and tired of Linus ragging on OLED displays due to burn in. I've had an OLED TV from LG for at least three years. It was only their second generation of OLED tv's, and I've only experienced burn-in once after watching a reposted Joe Rogan podcast that was 4+ hours long. It had a bright purple logo in the corner of the screen. When I switched to another video, you could still see what looked like a photo negative of it. I turned off the TV, and went to do something else. I turned it back on the next day, and the logo was gone. In three years, I've only seen it happen once, after 4+ hours of a static image being displayed, and it was completely gone the next time I turned on the TV. Burn in is not an issue, and complaining that your laptop doesn't have enough battery life to run 4k is ridiculous. No gaming laptop has enough horsepower to competently run 4k anyway. Don't blame OLED because you're trying to run 4K on a laptop. People are acting like they'd rather see the best display technology on the market just go away. It's like they'd rather have shitty quantum dot and local dimming displays that make your windows cursor look like you turned on accessibility mode. I'll never understand why people prefer an atrocious amount of backlight bleed over the mythological cryptid that is burn in.
@@Vortex1988 Same with people shitting on 4k on a laptop screen. The pixel density is perfect so that you don't even need AA and everything you do looks round and clear as hell. It PERFECTLY aligns 4:1 for 1080p so gaming at 1080p will not look funny due to running below the native resolution. It just turns every one pixel into 4 pixels and is functionally identical at that point. I wouldn't buy a 1080p phone again and I won't buy another 1440p or lower laptop after having one that's 4k now.
@@tonymorris4335 Lol, depending on the screen size you can't even tell the difference. 1080p for phones is perfect. I prefer the battery life over the extra pixels I won't be able to notice anyway. 4K is seriously overrated, especially on either a laptop or phone. OLED is way more of an experience than 4K ever will be.
@@Vortex1988 I agree, I would like to have both though by changing the rendering resolution dynamically on a 4k amoled screen so videos and games (or stuff I choose) render at 4k and the rest at 1080p or 1440p. That doesn't solve the power problem though but for me that would be an acceptable midway.
@Luka Stemberger 95%? I don't know, man. Every game with a mouse cursor or 3d graphics benefits a high refresh rate display. And basically anything with moving objects looks nicer. If you're playing text based games, then sure, but i don't think they are majority of games in 2019. And i've gotta also say i'm not so sure how much a 4k resolution benefits your gaming performance or experience in a laptop. Just my opinion though. EDIT: I know you said 4k benefits productivity, not gaming, and you may have a point there. Though i'm not sure how much benefit there is at this screen size.
I have a question and I need an professional answer if I'm going to buy high end expensive gaming laptop like the new MSI GT 76 Titan with Intel 10th generation i9-10900K 5.0ghz cpu , latest Super RTX 2080 and 128gb of ram i want to know which will suit those specs better (3840x2160 IPS-Level) or (FHD 1920x1080 300Hz IPS-Level) ? i don't know if the 4k display is 60hz or 120hz they didn't write how much is it in their web sight so which of this two display should i go with ?
It's simply because this kind of panel doesn't exist yet. Screen suppliers like LG Display, AUO, Sharp simply can't make this kind of panel with thin bezel. If they can, these panels will already be on the market right now

Linus, this video, "The build quality of this Razer system is, as always, amazing" Literally the same person, 2 videos ago, "My Razer Blade Stealth stopped working after less than a year of use so I'll just get a new Razer Blade Stealth." I don't wanna use the term fanboy but.....
Roddy Evans build quality wasn’t the issue in that context I belive it was heat. Build quality refers to how it feels, flexibility sturdiness size ect.
Roddy Evans my thoughts exactly. It’s a bit annoying that there were so many other good computers on that table. I feel linus should try out different devices as his daily driver, since he is a reviewer after all.
Daily driver laptop for Captain Drops-a-lot: lasts nearly an entire year. Razer should use this as a testimonial, the way Land Rover reps used to brag about the utterly dreadful things that had happened to their vehicles.
Many people just been easily impressed by the skin outside, not what's in the inside. This is on every thing, not just electronic product. That's why some companies sell overpriced product with beautiful skin outside and so so inside and many people would buy it, this is including Apple, some European cars manufacturer, and many others. I believe this would change as people become smarter over time, but this is the fact now. Linus is somewhat rather provoking in title, but his actual video isn't too provoking, he's just rather funny and wants to express his feeling towards some products, with the exception of sponsored products of course :)
@@patrikjankovics2113 It captured the reflection from his arms, and his arms even caught some light spill when a colored bar went by. So if it was green screen, then they spent the last few months making it look super real. Definitely just a display built into a desk, but I love the effect
Quick story about the luckiest I've ever been. I'm going to college in a couple weeks and decided to treat myself to a nice razor laptop. Ordered and purchased the average blade 2018 for $1500 and was sent the nice as fuck high end $3300 2019 model. I've never been lucky like that before and it's the most exciting thing that can happen to a nerd. My family didn't care and just thought that the $1500 was stupid at all regardless. (I'm going to school for digital storytelling btw) thought my people might get a little more hype :)
I bought the Razer phone 2 on the prime day sale for 400. Loving it. I sure wouldn't buy it at the release price though, I'm cheaper than a can of beans :)
I question why I am watching this video seeing I’m not even in the market for a laptop. I find myself watching every video LTT makes due to the quality of video.Good Job LTT.
I have a 4K panel on a 13" laptop and it DO make a big difference compared to a 1080p monitor. And yeah sure I have to get REALLY close to make out a single pixel, but it's not about seeing the pixels, it's about sharpness from a normal distance. And from that distance which for me is about half a meter I can easily see a difference from 1080p and 4K. So if you're not gaming but instead of doing creative work that screen is flawless imo! More 4K OLEDs for laptops please :)
Oled is expensive and better effects (stronger hardware) are more relevant than beautiful colors, thats why its not popular in gaming. It looks awesome though
I've been looking for a laptop like this for years (15", 4K, decent GPU). I'm a developer, so want to get as much on screen as possible when working, and I'm happy to run at 1080 when gaming occasionally to be able to use higher detail settings. I had a Dell XPS15 years ago, but the build quality (several replaced parts in 8 months) got it sent back.
@Lexussy now i will comment 7 months after you said that to explain the idiocy that is your comment. One month is not alot of time if you dont like, dont respond. Done
Summed up well. I had a Alienware 13" OLED as my last laptop and the screen was simply amazing. It breathed life into all of my games (partially due to high density of 1440p at 13" but of course the OLED). Nearly every game looked far better than it did on my 34" 1440p UW monitor (which is damn good itself). With that said I wanted a bigger screen (especially 17") and the lack of high refresh rate really limits the gaming experience. Smoothness is so important. I would have preferred 1080p and a high refresh date. I ended up trying an Asus gx701 that was fantastic but the new gen of CPUs came out so returned it and then got a ge75 i9 2080. The full 8 core CPU + full laptop 2080 I just couldn't pass up.
@@Noa-g1ex I am also looking for the answer too😅, will oled laptops last more than 4-5 years, I am planning to buy one and plan to use the laptop for around 5 years, will it be a good purchase?
@@humanprogrammmer after some digging and many reviews, i decided to go for one that isnt oled screen, unless you have a money to burn and changes new laptop every 2 to 5 years, go for oled, but for my budget personally, its not worth it
Everyone talks about the OLED issues 2 years ago saying "well have to see what happens in the future", and 2 years later with many OLED laptops on the market with their 3rd iteration of OLED panels, and nobody has done a followup talking about if it is a problem or not.
In addition to wanting to see 1440p high fps panels for gaming laptops, I really want to see more devices with taller aspect ratios like the Surface line's 2:3 aspect ratio for 2 in 1s and productivity
This is going to be different for every consumer, but if you are not worried about maximizing your "win/loss" ratio is some twitch reflex based, competitive game, you don't need to worry about going above 60hz. I haven't played on a laptop in over 7 years, but the NUMBER ONE thing I would worry about, mostly because it's often overlooked in favor of GHz, GB/s, etc., is how well the laptop deals with heat. It doesn't matter how big the numbers are; if the laptop gets to hot it's gonna stutter which is a much more annoying issue than not having above 60fps.
I've had oled on my laptop for 4 years. I really appreciate it every now and then when I resume dark-ish low-contrast scenes(a lot of fireworks displays backgrounds weren't just black for example and added to the videos) content I had started watching on my ips monitors.
Actually as long as you're viewing a 6.2" display from a distance of 6 inches, you've got the same Field of View as an IMAX screen, 8K on a phone actually isn't unreasonable. But even if most people can use their phone from a viewing distance of six inches that doesn't make it the ideal application. 4K should be standard on high end phones though.
A user who needs lots of power and a GPU but doesn't need a colour accurate monitor or care that much about gaming performance? Engineers and software engineers.
They also don't need a nice display. And really software engineers don't need that kind of performance, since anything tough to run is done on the cloud now
@@Rattus375 Well tbh nobody needs OLED, it's just super nice looking, imo. On phones and wearables it makes sense as it saves battery and the screen isn't on all the time, so no burn-ins.
Not sure if anyone at LMG will see this, but just wanted to say that it is VERY noticable the increase in production quality in the last couple videos recently. Even if the context is not particularly interesting to me (not implying that it wasn't), I find myself just enjoying the video more because of just the sheer professionalism and real studio quality. Only other UA-cam creater I'm aware of really on the same level is probably MC.
Pimp my brick dude ive been using a 2005 hp laptop for the past 5 years with a 1.27ghz dual core cpu and onboard graphics lol. My first tower I ever built when I was 10 years old croaked out after 9 years of service, I cut a maltese cross into the side of an old IBM tower and screwed a plexiglass sheet to it, put blue light bars inside it and I still have the blue glass light tubes. It was so sick, I'm looking at some budget builds now but if you wanna play the price is right and match what I spend... lol I'd plug your channel on everything I do. Love the videos and have for a long time back when you were making videos out of a garage, don't quit making them!
Loved the different style of this video! That was some amazing B-roll and cinematography by David and a clever idea to project the retro sunset on the back!
I actually have a 14" 1440p OLED screen laptop-Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen. It's not a gaming laptop (only Intel graphics), but movies, coding, photoshopping, web browsing, and overall user experience are all just oh so very pleasant.
@@fredericcudeiro6614 I'm a web developer and graphic designer so I needed the pantone calibration. Plus the Aero has the faster SD card reader installed. Pretty much every choice around the Aero OLED is tailered to a creator. If I need more than 60hz ill just hook it up to my samsung 144hz VA panel. Also I can take it to business meetings without people knowing I also use it for VR gaming.
I paid $1800 for a Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED with a 1660ti and i7 and it works amazingly. For the price I can't recommend it enough. OLED captivated me since I first heard about it years ago and I'm thrilled to finally have it in a laptop. On the other hand I'm disappointed it's not a 144hz panel.
I would expect the Studio one to be OLED, instead of high refresh, but the colour accuracy issue is a bit surprising. I think that the one just featured in this vid might be good for programmers. If you look at text all day, colour accuracy is not that important, even for web-devs, - as long as its close enough.
@@brentgreeff1115 As a programmer you dont need a good display at all. Its like saying you need oled for Word and Excel ^^ Of course its nice to have... If you say web-dev you imply including design-work? It may even be favourable to try this on a display-quality more common with the users of your site...
Sooo... Linus is finally off of his 4K hype from last year? I was so annoyed by laptop reviews getting negative marks for screens being 1080p despite the fact that it saves battery life and increases game performance. 1080p is pefectly fine on such a small screen and on phones and it's nice to finally hear Linus say this and change his stance.
I just bought this.... hope I don't regret it. I got it for under 1.2K I decided to go with this one instead of the stealth version because of upgrade ability. I just hate how this only has 1 usb C also thank you for your honesty! I love these reviews
3:22 It's not only about the distance necessary to make out the pixels in a 4k panel, it's about the distance necessary to make out the pixels in the *alternative to 4k*, which is 1080p. Seeing pixels in day-to-day tasks is the downside of lower resolution displays.
Thanks for keeping this kind of videos on youtube. I'm subscribing on patreon anyway. Thank you for the hours of interesting content I got in the past (which is primary the intel/nvidia/amd and the speculation stuff) and for everything in advance that is to come.
Apart from a few online games that aren't exactly pushing the graphics envelope, even hitting 60 fps in a new AAA-game at high settings is no joke. So I don't really get people's obsession with high refresh rates. Heck, in the fighting game scene no game even runs higher than 60hz, and those are some of the most competitive games out there.
Love the the set as well as the style of the video. This new style was great. I especially like the transition to the "creator" and then to the speaker demo. The table and background also gets an A+.

@@Vortex1988 Gamers shouldn't touch a display like that if it starts to burn in after 4 hours.

Actionly, nope. 4k is excessive. Like linus said, is TOO MUCH MONEY.
1440p display should be cheaper, more affordable and the same for your eyes
@Luka Stemberger 95%? I don't know, man. Every game with a mouse cursor or 3d graphics benefits a high refresh rate display. And basically anything with moving objects looks nicer. If you're playing text based games, then sure, but i don't think they are majority of games in 2019. And i've gotta also say i'm not so sure how much a 4k resolution benefits your gaming performance or experience in a laptop. Just my opinion though.
EDIT: I know you said 4k benefits productivity, not gaming, and you may have a point there. Though i'm not sure how much benefit there is at this screen size.
4K at 15" is still stupid.
I have a question and I need an professional answer if I'm going to buy high end expensive gaming laptop like the new MSI GT 76 Titan with Intel 10th generation i9-10900K 5.0ghz cpu , latest Super RTX 2080 and 128gb of ram i want to know which will suit those specs better (3840x2160 IPS-Level) or (FHD 1920x1080 300Hz IPS-Level) ? i don't know if the 4k display is 60hz or 120hz they didn't write how much is it in their web sight so which of this two display should i go with ?

Why don't they offer a 144hz 1440p model? That would be the sweet spot.
It's simply because this kind of panel doesn't exist yet. Screen suppliers like LG Display, AUO, Sharp simply can't make this kind of panel with thin bezel. If they can, these panels will already be on the market right now

Linus, this video, "The build quality of this Razer system is, as always, amazing"
Literally the same person, 2 videos ago, "My Razer Blade Stealth stopped working after less than a year of use so I'll just get a new Razer Blade Stealth."
I don't wanna use the term fanboy but.....
Roddy Evans build quality wasn’t the issue in that context I belive it was heat. Build quality refers to how it feels, flexibility sturdiness size ect.
Roddy Evans my thoughts exactly. It’s a bit annoying that there were so many other good computers on that table. I feel linus should try out different devices as his daily driver, since he is a reviewer after all.
Daily driver laptop for Captain Drops-a-lot: lasts nearly an entire year. Razer should use this as a testimonial, the way Land Rover reps used to brag about the utterly dreadful things that had happened to their vehicles.
this is what happen when your favorite reviewer is a millionaire and can't feel 3k burning through their pockets :(
Many people just been easily impressed by the skin outside, not what's in the inside. This is on every thing, not just electronic product. That's why some companies sell overpriced product with beautiful skin outside and so so inside and many people would buy it, this is including Apple, some European cars manufacturer, and many others. I believe this would change as people become smarter over time, but this is the fact now. Linus is somewhat rather provoking in title, but his actual video isn't too provoking, he's just rather funny and wants to express his feeling towards some products, with the exception of sponsored products of course :)

Quick story about the luckiest I've ever been. I'm going to college in a couple weeks and decided to treat myself to a nice razor laptop. Ordered and purchased the average blade 2018 for $1500 and was sent the nice as fuck high end $3300 2019 model. I've never been lucky like that before and it's the most exciting thing that can happen to a nerd. My family didn't care and just thought that the $1500 was stupid at all regardless. (I'm going to school for digital storytelling btw) thought my people might get a little more hype :)

Midgetbar maid bum suck
I quite like the ambient background set up perfectly matching the laptop background picture.
I have a 4K panel on a 13" laptop and it DO make a big difference compared to a 1080p monitor. And yeah sure I have to get REALLY close to make out a single pixel, but it's not about seeing the pixels, it's about sharpness from a normal distance. And from that distance which for me is about half a meter I can easily see a difference from 1080p and 4K.
So if you're not gaming but instead of doing creative work that screen is flawless imo! More 4K OLEDs for laptops please :)
early comment. Also OLED with a constant windows bar just sounds bad out the getgo
OLED screen burn-in? What about low aggressive PWM and eyes?
I have my taskbar set to auto-hide
Go ahead, stone me
guess ur gonna have to use that auto hide taskbar
You can hide the windows taskbar when not scrolling over, as well as tabs in browser
you can move the windows bar
The OLED model is probably for everything that requires a powerful machine EXCEPT gaming.
Billy Buttlord like some sort of a MacBook Pro alternative. A sort of multimedia laptop that has a very very good screen but not exactly for gaming
Oled is expensive and better effects (stronger hardware) are more relevant than beautiful colors, thats why its not popular in gaming. It looks awesome though
LTT: *starts a Video without doing a cheesy sponsor transition*
Me: Wait, that's illegal
I've been looking for a laptop like this for years (15", 4K, decent GPU). I'm a developer, so want to get as much on screen as possible when working, and I'm happy to run at 1080 when gaming occasionally to be able to use higher detail settings.
I had a Dell XPS15 years ago, but the build quality (several replaced parts in 8 months) got it sent back.
This part from 6:40 onwards was so clever. Made me chuckle.
Great review, didn't know about the OLED Power Budget thing.
It's why you'll always see OLED displays/TVs/etc rated for "peak brightness" and not "max brightness".

@@AGLIBABY
That is a bit complex topic.
Takeaway is:
Should you display a picture with a lot of white, the brightness will go darker.
MicroLED will be the best display for laptops. Honestly 1440p is what you need basically unless you content create
Can't wait for micro LED!

Summed up well. I had a Alienware 13" OLED as my last laptop and the screen was simply amazing. It breathed life into all of my games (partially due to high density of 1440p at 13" but of course the OLED). Nearly every game looked far better than it did on my 34" 1440p UW monitor (which is damn good itself). With that said I wanted a bigger screen (especially 17") and the lack of high refresh rate really limits the gaming experience. Smoothness is so important. I would have preferred 1080p and a high refresh date.
I ended up trying an Asus gx701 that was fantastic but the new gen of CPUs came out so returned it and then got a ge75 i9 2080. The full 8 core CPU + full laptop 2080 I just couldn't pass up.
Did you experience any burn in? Im afraid of dishing out money with a laptop that have oled screen but only last like 1-3 years due to burn in :/

@@humanprogrammmer after some digging and many reviews, i decided to go for one that isnt oled screen, unless you have a money to burn and changes new laptop every 2 to 5 years, go for oled, but for my budget personally, its not worth it
@@Noa-g1ex Thanks for the suggestion mate✌🏻, will look through it definitely
Completely agree make a higher refresh rate 1440p model then I'll upgrade my laptop.
It comes with -0.1v on the CPU to keep the CPU temps under control btw
so u watch dave2d videos too....
I liked the new studio background look 🤩
Everyone talks about the OLED issues 2 years ago saying "well have to see what happens in the future", and 2 years later with many OLED laptops on the market with their 3rd iteration of OLED panels, and nobody has done a followup talking about if it is a problem or not.
loving this new aesthetic, the synth music, display tabletop with animated graphic, its really satisfying
Can we talk about how awesome that table is? Is there a screen under there?
Second this question
yes its a screen what else would it be
@@metalvideos1961 a green screen?
Responding to a similar comment they said they built the Samsung 8K TV into a table for capturing b-roll footage.
In addition to wanting to see 1440p high fps panels for gaming laptops, I really want to see more devices with taller aspect ratios like the Surface line's 2:3 aspect ratio for 2 in 1s and productivity
Same I'm looking for one, it's amazing for multitasking. Does anyone know which laptop is best for this?
OLED Laptops hertz my feelings.
This is going to be different for every consumer, but if you are not worried about maximizing your "win/loss" ratio is some twitch reflex based, competitive game, you don't need to worry about going above 60hz. I haven't played on a laptop in over 7 years, but the NUMBER ONE thing I would worry about, mostly because it's often overlooked in favor of GHz, GB/s, etc., is how well the laptop deals with heat. It doesn't matter how big the numbers are; if the laptop gets to hot it's gonna stutter which is a much more annoying issue than not having above 60fps.
I've had oled on my laptop for 4 years. I really appreciate it every now and then when I resume dark-ish low-contrast scenes(a lot of fireworks displays backgrounds weren't just black for example and added to the videos) content I had started watching on my ips monitors.
you recommend me to buy asus oled laptop ?
Nice synthwave/vaporwave background
20 years from now. "Why 8k on my smart phone is bad for gaming"
Actually as long as you're viewing a 6.2" display from a distance of 6 inches, you've got the same Field of View as an IMAX screen, 8K on a phone actually isn't unreasonable.
But even if most people can use their phone from a viewing distance of six inches that doesn't make it the ideal application. 4K should be standard on high end phones though.

They also don't need a nice display. And really software engineers don't need that kind of performance, since anything tough to run is done on the cloud now
@@Rattus375 Well tbh nobody needs OLED, it's just super nice looking, imo. On phones and wearables it makes sense as it saves battery and the screen isn't on all the time, so no burn-ins.
Not sure if anyone at LMG will see this, but just wanted to say that it is VERY noticable the increase in production quality in the last couple videos recently. Even if the context is not particularly interesting to me (not implying that it wasn't), I find myself just enjoying the video more because of just the sheer professionalism and real studio quality. Only other UA-cam creater I'm aware of really on the same level is probably MC.
Pimp my brick dude ive been using a 2005 hp laptop for the past 5 years with a 1.27ghz dual core cpu and onboard graphics lol.

gotta love all the new edits and transitions along with the vaporwave themed background
Can we just start calling 1440p, "2K" already? Can we make 2K a trend phrase so panel manufactures realize there's a market for that resolution?
Full hd is closer to 2k than 1440p
It’s already called 2.6k in the video world
PS4 Pro, Xbox OneX, and the next gen consoles will all be aiming for 1440p. Most midrange graphics cards aim for it too.
It's already called WQHD (Wide Quad HD because it's 4x 720p in widescreen) along with HD, FHD, and UHD for 720p, 1080p, and 2160p, respectively.

I would expect the Studio one to be OLED, instead of high refresh, but the colour accuracy issue is a bit surprising. I think that the one just featured in this vid might be good for programmers. If you look at text all day, colour accuracy is not that important, even for web-devs, - as long as its close enough.

Sooo... Linus is finally off of his 4K hype from last year? I was so annoyed by laptop reviews getting negative marks for screens being 1080p despite the fact that it saves battery life and increases game performance. 1080p is pefectly fine on such a small screen and on phones and it's nice to finally hear Linus say this and change his stance.
I just bought this.... hope I don't regret it. I got it for under 1.2K I decided to go with this one instead of the stealth version because of upgrade ability. I just hate how this only has 1 usb C
also thank you for your honesty! I love these reviews
3:22 It's not only about the distance necessary to make out the pixels in a 4k panel, it's about the distance necessary to make out the pixels in the *alternative to 4k*, which is 1080p. Seeing pixels in day-to-day tasks is the downside of lower resolution displays.
and its also a razer which means that it will break in about 1-2 years
Why does no one talk about 3K displays? They deserve more love…
Because 2.5k (1440p) is more than enough...
