Linus Gabriel Sebastian & Linus Media Group / Linus Tech Tips - Narcissistic corporate shill YouTuber driving his media empire into the ground. KILL COUNT: 2

[Kuritan Deplorable]

does anyone think most people really care about all the technical shit that a TV/Projector/Display device merits?

Frankly, most don't even care about size anymore. There was a period when the 'Cinema' experience was considered superior among normies, and that included the biggest of big screen, the exotic sound setup, the reclining chairs, etc. Now, it seems like the Cinema experience is considered subpar, and most people seem to associate good media times with a comfy couch and a streaming service. Good luck making Netflix compression look good on a 80 inch display or some shit.

I dunno if this shift came about because of streaming, or because of theaters becoming worse and worse experiences, or because renters and apartment dwellers are less likely to see a five figure television as a viable option, much less a good one. But regardless, I more and more often see giga tv's associated with hood rats and cinema snobs, and nobody else wants to touch them.

If a TV fails to kill a child after falling on them then I say it isn't big enough.

Just suck that chyna dick Linus and do the "let Chyna take over Taiwan, it will mean cheaper processors!" video you know you want to do.

Are you ignorant or malicious? I hate Linus and his faggy and duplicitous ways as much as anyone else, but misrepresenting his views won't help anyone. He has time and time again made his stance on Taiwan very clear (he is in support of its freedom) - especially in the period during and after his visit to Taiwan.
Please stop shitting up this thread with your blind and hateful lies.

It's not just streaming, I'd wager most media is consumed via smartphone now and smartphones can't have those cool 7.1 configs. As a result, directors likely spend less time/money on audio and theater experiences become worse a result, since the benefits of a theater are now non-existent. After all, the screen is 2 inches from your face so you don't need it to be that big and you can't do cool audio stuff if you only have stereo speakers (or earbuds) and nothing else.

Don't forget that there have been a series of big box office AAA movies in which the dialog has had terrible, terrible mixing with the directors swearing up and down that it is intentional.

In any case, anything you watch on Netflix or streaming services usually has some sort of a standard in how it must be delivered (this doesn't count for old content). This includes what cameras it is filmed on and how the audio is mixed and a whole bunch of things.

On the contrary, I have some normie friends (to be fair they're not married and don't have kids) who have opted for absolutely massive screens (and they basically live in apartments). They don't care about compression or bitrate and usually just have a pretty standard-tier soundbar, what they do like is basically having the entire wall as TV screen. And having seen how they experience it, with the sofas relatively close, I do have to say that it is awesome and much better than watching shit on my computer screen.

but most people who get big TVs, as long as it looks good enough, they're more gonna boast about the size like it's a status symbol.

Most of the people I know with massive screens have no idea how big the screen is and don't brag about their setup at all. They purely have it because its great to watch content on something that is like your own personal cinema screen.

1. Spend what was it? $100,000k importing that chink wall TV screen? That was immediately 1-Upped after that video was put out.
2. Spend even more on a convoluted wireless surround sound audio system.
3. Spend even more again on fancy uncomfortable "theater couches".
4. Never watch anything on it outside of filming about it.
Of all the pretentious shit they hock, the A/V stuff is the worst IMO since it's seemingly never used again once filming stops.
I forget where I heard it, but the "best" setup is whatever lets you comfortably enjoy what you like.

It's basically just like audiophiles who spend outrageous sums on their setups and barely listen to actual music and just sperg about equipment non-stop. With all AV gear there is definitely a ceiling where spending more doesn't mean a better experience.

Most of the stuff I've downloaded with DTS-HD/TrueHD/eAC3 has been fine. The ones with terrible audio usually are intentional like Tenet (2020). There have been some classic movies I've gotten rips for that have dog-shit mixing, so it's not a new issue.

I think a more-than-trivial amount care. There's a reason BestBuy is still in business, where people pick out the more expensive OLEDs. A lot of people also turn off the default fake-high-refresh motion-control to stop the soap-opera effect. The ones who don't care just get the TCLs from Wal/Target-Mart.

You're probably right that it's a more-than-trivial amount, but its probably way less % wise than it was years ago because TVs have ended up being like smartphones where there are almost no new features and the brand name shit "just works" and looks good and the TVs are very reliable. When you buy any TV nowadays you know its going to include the faggy smart apps and an HDMI port and a remote. You're good to go.

Most people I know have just blind bought screens online (Amazon or whatever) and gone with whatever brand name (Samsung, LG etc). They "don't care" but have enough disposable income to get something that isn't a TCL or some other generic/discount brand. I am pretty sure that they have the motion-control shit turned off though, but I might have to check (I get pissed off when I see it, so I doubt that they actually have it on).

In any case, for people with a reasonable income, the price of screens is nowhere near what it used to be in the days of televisions/CRTs and rear-projection screens. I remember when my dad bought us a nice TV and the price of it was exorbitant and quite a decent portion of his monthly salary. You can get fucking massive screens for very reasonable prices nowadays. It's not some huge investment anymore (unless you're going for like a top-tier Sony TV or a projector, and even then people with enough disposable income who are normies aren't really going to physical stores anymore - you're paying a premium for a brand name TV and you do this because you know it will work and you can't be fucked to be autistic in a store trying to pretend you care about specs). These are the kind of people who use iPhones.

The same goes for soundbars. When I needed one I didn't go visit a fucking store to deal with salespeople that don't know anything and just looked up a small selection of brands and models within my pricepoint, found one in particular that looked good and watched 2-3 reviews on YouTube and then ordered it online. When they delivered it, I drilled the fucker into the wall, set it up and haven't fucked around with it since.

I'm sure he's lying if he's claiming he's paying for this stuff himself. His Chink spyware box was definitely free in return for the exposure.

This has been an issue for quite some time - I remember having absolutely no clue what was being said in the last Michael Bay-Transformers movie (the Last Knight? The one with gangsta Decepticons & Hitler got killed by a wristwatch?). It was like the dialogue was recorded through walkie talkies.

I can't imagine being an employee and doing this shit for your bosses wife. LTT crew sets up a projector so linus and his wife can fuck in the pool. The cost to heat that pool is probably at least 1.5-2 employees salary.

So I'm in the market for a projector and made the mistake to watch this.

1. They live near Vancouver where it rains half the year.
2. Which is in Canada which is cold even in Vancouver, this evening by the time it's dark enough it's 8 degrees C and windy.
3. Actually it's worse IMO to have a pool in Vancouver than in the temperate parts of the country because it never gets all that hot to begin with.
4. Disregard all of that, even if you have a pool how often do you use it at night?
5. Combine the three and how many evenings are going to have suitable weather for a pool? Maybe a handful per year. I asked ChatGPT because I'm a nigger and it says a total of 10 - 15 evenings in a year meeting my criteria of not rainy and not windy and above 23c.
6. Who is the ugly fat guy with yellow teeth in the faggy pink shirt?
7. It was actually completely useless to watch this anyway because they did a HiSense projector and I'm not buying chinese junk from the worst TV brand in the business.

nigga you need to look up Flavacol popcorn seasoning. It's like the gold standard of popcorn seasoning that makes it taste exactly like it does from the movie theater because that's apparently what they use in the theater. You add it into the oil when cooking the popcorn or some shit.
