So many people defending MKBHD lol
You people understand that he doesn't even know you guys exist?
In all seriousness, 10min for a monitor review is nothing, but:
This is not a monitor review. At all.
He reads a spec sheet and that's literally it. Everything else is just an opinion of him about this monitor.
The fact alone that he just claims that the Studio Display just uses an 11 year old panel says it all. No measurements about color accuracy, latency nothing. He just reads 27", 5K, 60Hz. And that means it's identical to the old iMac one.
For an actual review of such a display it would be super important to see how Apples claims hold up, does it reach 2000 nits brightness, what is the sustained full screen brightness, contrast, how well calibrated is the panel and all of Apples reference modes. THOSE are important facts worth knowing if you're in the market for this display that you want to use for your work.
Some dude talking about how nice 120Hz is, that the bezels are thicker or how generous Apple is for including the stand are hilariously irrelevant.
At 1:45 he says "there is not much to say about the panel itself" which is nothing but is ridiculous. It is literally THE most important part of a monitor review.
He LITERALLY just reads of a spec sheet. That is a hands-on at best. Not a review.
The shirt was so good they decided you need to buy 20 more to deserve the discount. This is the ultimate bait-and-switch.๐ฃ
But we have an option. ๐คซ
Bought a retro shirt from a site and left a good review as I was happy with the shirt. They emailed me saying have 25 percent off my next order as a thank you. Went to use it and I need to spend 600 quid to use it ๐๐๐
Wait, you still want me to watch 10 minutes of fluff just to get a 5 second answer? Hmm, okay. We know that clarity is the ultimate love language. ๐คโณ
That feeling when you find a 3-year-old forum post that solves your problem in two sentences.
Itโs not 'old' data; itโs high-signal truth that hasn't been buried yet.
Imagine if your time was treated as a finite resource instead of a metric to be 'maximized' by a platform. The internet would look very different. It would look like Tipbox.
We don't need more content. We need more context. A thousand 'likes' on a bad product is just a loud lie. One verified 'this broke in a week' is the truth we need.
Weโve traded 'word of mouth' for 'word of algorithm.' One is based on trust; the other is based on who paid the most for the keyword.
Guess which one actually helps?
Ever notice how the most useful tip is always hidden behind a 4-minute intro of someone asking you to 'smash that like button'? Weโre trading our sanity for seconds of signal. โณ
Most platforms are designed to keep you scrolling. We think the best platforms are the ones that get you the answer so you can finally put your phone down.
