The lower the R, the more pronounced the curve, not the other way round @JayzTwoCents - 800R is a circle with a radius of 800 mm, which is a much more aggressive curve than say an 1800R curve
@Rux82
I love this "educational" style video. Would love to see more like this for novice/first time pc gamers explaining aspects of other components like motherboards/cpu etc
@georgestweeter
Correction: the Lower the R number the greater the curve. The R number refers to the Radius of a circle in millimeters. A circle with a radius of 800mm is a much smaller circle than one with a radius of 2000mm, aka a tighter curve.
@kakawtookie
I think you may have made a mistake with the R rating. The higher the number the more gradual the curve. I believe the R refers to the Radius of the curvature.
@sleepy_dobe
Other than the R rating for curved monitors that a lot of viewers have already commented, Jay also got the VESA mounting pattern incorrect. The more common ones are 100 x 100 and 75 x 75. There's no 80 x 80 pattern.

"Most overlooked part ... is the monitor" This is functionally impossible.

Happy New Year to everyone at JayzTwoCents!
@MrBdericks
Haven't bought a new monitor in years and haven't kept up with all the technology. This detailed breakdown was exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
@DjMessiahUK
Always check decent reviews - just because a monitor claims to have a 1ms response time, that's always based on a ridiculously specific single transition that can achieve this and often involves high levels of overdrive that cause overshoot. In my testing experience, IPS displays tend to be anywhere between 7 and 25 ms depending on the quality of the panel. The best are generally around the 7 to 12 ms range if you average across all transitions. You can't trust the manufacturers on this, as much like HDR 400 technically being HDR, in practice it is just so they can tick a box on their spec sheets.

I bought a MSI monitor 5 years ago. Just noticed a few days ago, I have never cut it off from day one. cut it off thinking I hope it comes back on, Everything working fine.
@goobanet
Another great video, thanks Jay. Somebody forgot to remind you to talk about HDR. It's hard to get good staff these days, I know😂. I do very little gaming, mostly creative stuff, so I have a preference for a colour accurate monitor with plenty of ports and a pair of built in speakers. 4K at 27" or 32" is the sweet spot for me.
@VNAV_PTH
Just remember, when the monitor resolution increases, so does the price for the graphics card required to run it 😊
@22RiaKon22
Screen door effect - finally a term for a thing that my eyes are most sensitive to. (I used to call it "the grid" 😃) This is the number one stat that I look for and a reason why I bought a 22" FHD monitor when everyone was buying 27" FHD. I play 95% singleplayer games, usually cinematic with slower gameplay, so I am satisfied with only 60 Hz 4K (which saves a lot of money). After watching this video, I'll just make sure it's IPS and miniLED with good g2g. Thanks you for the sum up!
@joshcarlson9352
Jay, you skipped over that USB-C connection there. I think one of the coolest new features is that thunderbolt connection for us semi-remote workers. Turns your monitor into a docking station for your work laptop alongside your home PC!
@napoficial7123
I have LG 24" FHD monitor. It's great, love colors and all games run good. Using rx 6800 xt and Ryzen 9 7900. It's the middle of all expectations. I'm happy, and didn't get broke 😂 Happy new year Jay and team, team and community ❤
@Tony-Tech
Topics like this can be very challenging to explain to a broad audience in a short amount of time. You did an excellent job on this one. You explanations were concise, but still included an appropriate amount of detail. Also, you pacing on this was just right. One of the best tech teaching type videos I have seen. Very well done by you and your team.
@ReignDownMe
Highly recommend.. this is a great 'crash course', not overly techie, but exposing the 'tech words' used, so people aren't confused when they come across them on the marketing info.
@OmegaBlack999
You forgot to mention that VA panels also have much higher contrast ratios than IPS or TN. Though, clearly not as high as OLED. But still have great color. I actually went with a VA over IPS on my ultra wide for this very reason and was so glad I did. However, now I am using a 32" 4k OLED. Also, your curvature numbers are reversed, lol. Love you, Jay. Happy new year!
@themightymutt5213
This video was IMMENSELY educational for me, and it's perfect timing! I'm pre-building my new PC that will be purchased in the next few months, but I've been on the fence about replacing my monitor. It's not that I don't want to, but space is very limited and I already have a 24" that barely fits. I've determined that I can go up to 27" wide, and now I have a better idea of what to look for
