Yep. Just lazy

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

No need for me to paint my monitors or tvs because I love black and it is not hard to find.

Ohh fancy, too bad I don't have much need to paint my monitors. (Though turning the glossy bezel into a matte bezel would be a nice idea.)

Almost same color aswell hehe
Cool video though, and when it comes to us liking because we want to see another video, i'd watch you solder 2 ants together and still think it would be great ;D

Linus should totally do with the 34UM95. It would look just as bad ass and match this monitor mod nicely. Yes please do make the 10 GB LAN video too!

Codename: Project Stealth. See profile for specs.

It felt a little strange that you displayed and highlighted (specifically showing the companys logo) the painting products you used but did not disclaim a sponsorship..
Not assuming anything here.. I just wanted to mention that it felt weird to me.

Linus. Linus, Linus, Linus. You have no idea how freaking cool it would be if you stenciled "linustechtips" on the front in Plasti-Dip. Please, for the sake of all your viewers, do this and show us all.

 

Attached are two mock-ups of possible designs that would be cool, that I made using my expert photo editing skills (AKA Microsoft Word)

I am disapointed. I was expecting Linus to put the monitor ouside.

Anyway.. red monitor.. bleeeeh!! :D

Only mod I would do to black plastic monitor would be if the finish was glossy I would make it matte.

looks very nice i must say, would like to see something like this again, like said in the youtube comments, the LTT logo would be nice, if it looks good there.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.
