480hz OLED is coming this year

Before people complain about size, resolution and TN panel understand these monitors are literally built for a handful of esports titles like Counter Strike. If you are serious about those games these monitors are game changing.

[@boltove]

i cant get over how good u are at explaining stuff and how visual you like to be with diagrams/graphs. I wish you were my teacher for every course i ever took lol

We got Zowie's 540Hz monitor before GTA 6

[@MrGlazedGaming]

Really appreciate you linking your current monitor recommendations! Market changes quick and putting out a new recommendation video every time is a lot.

Me thinking of buying this then realizing I can’t even reach 300 fps consistently

[@bigpoint58]

BenQ listed the price of this thing and it costs 1199€ here in germany.

Your Tracer gameplay is insane as always. The 540hz monitor got you overbuffed

[@WARnTEA]

@optimum I think Zowie uses those thick bezels to passively cool their high hertz strobe backlight and prevent the heat from getting trapped inside the case causing the plastic to melt/warp.

[@testtube173]

You are freakishly good at presentation. Nothing sounds scripted and your cuts are so clean it looks like it was all shot in 1 go and just cropped together with b roll and in game footage. It's insane how high quality your production is. Anyways these monitors are insane but theres just no way to justify that much of a niche use case for a certified bronze warrior like me.

You're almost at a million subs! Keep it up! Love your vids

[@ErronKebabb]

Your work is sublime. I'm not really in the market but your tests, presentation and candor I can't afford to miss. Thank You <3

[@hisfatness522]

I wouldn't be surprised if they leave the thick bezels in on purpose. This monitor's target demographic are the competitive e-sports type and these displays may need to move around a lot to different events and LAN parties. Having thicker bezels makes it more durable during travel and easier to adjust when you set the monitor down.

Outward-facing ports is a

Yo almost 1m subs. I'm so happy for you man I started watching a few years ago at around 100k subs and knew you would be at the top soon enough - honestly could seeyour chanel getting to 2 or 3m subs in a year or two, so keep it up!

[@balazskalmar7094]

thx for the video it was really well put together

[@sinless]

Optimum, I have a weird question, but what brand are your blank T-shirts? It looks nice.

My man keeping Overwatch 2 alive after all that happened.

[@Rokkit.]

Great review! Every time I thought of a question, he answered it within 20 seconds.

[@BrilliantBenGaming]

I love your coverage on all things hardware. Selfishly I wish you would do a deep dive into 'gaming chairs'
