    Tone deaf, really. Yes, people make fun of conventionally white names; people make fun of white people for a lot of things. The reason why it's less controversial is because white people are not historically or contemporarily oppressed or marginalized for the colour of their skin. Also, two things can be wrong at the same time.
     
    Normally I don't really mind the "banter" corporate accounts who interact with everyone casually; the Opera GX account is a good example of this. The problem with dbrand is that they are just unfunny and only go for low-hanging fruit insults, or just call you the F word; there's no substance to their posts. Really just wish they'd get someone actually funny and witty to run the account.

    The DWF model has a quieter fan because the G-Sync module on the DW model needs more cooling. Plus, you can update the firmware on the DWF model. The DWF has had issues with it's HDR1000 mode at launch, but these have been resolved with an update. I'd pick the DWF.

    I still suggest go for DWF version. Firmware update is important especially now many manufacturer can't proper set the HDR output. 
     
    The DW version if you received older firmware batch, then it is very troublesome need to return the monitor to Dell and some report didn't get the new monitor back as it looks like return unit.

    It's really unfortunate the amount of people who don't seem to understand that you guys aren't leaving YouTube (even though it was clearly stated in the video that you are not.) The fact that the same people seem to believe that the high quality content LMG provides is completely free to produce is equally saddening.
     
    I created my account over at Vessel to give it a try, and everything seems to be working smoothly so far. I'd like to echo some of the other user's comments about the lack of an Android app. Since I do a lot of my video watching during commute,  I'd very much like to see an app made available in the future. Also, I do not see any options for creating a playlist. Is this something that is going to be implemented in the future, or am I just missing it? One other thing that I've noticed, that is just minor nit-picking mind you, is that links in the video descriptions are not clickable.
     
    Overall I think this is an exciting development, and I will continue to support you guys as long as you are producing such excellent content. All the best to LMG going forward!
