Suggestion for a test Linus might want to add when reviewing monitors.

There's this film director Gaspar Noe, who has made a few movies with long scenes with strobe lights and flashing colors. His movie Lux Æterna has a 10 minute long scene at the end of the movie with various flashing colors, darkness, and patterns. Probably a good test for comparing image quality between different monitors.

Yes please. I can't stand that every monitor and TV in my house has buttons that can't be (or barely be) accessed once they are mounted. It's like some sort of running gag in the industry to make the buttons as hard to access as possible.

What exactly to test though, flashing colors? Really just general response time kinda does test of how fast panel is and OLED doesn't really need this test per say.

I think I know whats happening. The designers are still using Amiga 500's with their B&W CRT TV's that have their controls on front and have determined that is too easy and decided to make the controls as inaccessible as possible to get enough users mad enough  to damage the monitor and have to buy another one to help increase their company's profit.
