I liked it, idk what the YouTube comments are complaining about, DIY projects are pretty cool to just watch, even if thy have little purpose

-Because an obvious cash grab, dammit.

 

I'm sorry, that thing is hideous. I realize iFixIt threw some quick cash at you to make a DIY vid, but you couldn't come up with something cooler than a piece of furniture with 2 inch bezels that looks like something my grandma donated to goodwill 10 years ago? 

 

How about a vid putting it into your wall? or a water proof enclosure for your shower?

its a shame people just randomly dislike ALL his sponsored videos..........

I enjoyed the video, I follow lots of woodworking and diy channels and sites and love most diy projects from the insanely simple to the stupidly complex. That being said I do have some feedback for LMG. Generally the best (IMO) diy videos/articles fall into one of three rough categories.

 

 

1. Step by step guides. Like instructables. for these to be good, they should have enough detailed steps that you can build the final result along with the creator. The video was obviously not one of these.

 

2.  Explorative/vlog like. Many woodwoorking videos are like this where they are making an artistic peice and designing as they go. less structured, but usually the entire process is shown, with boring or repetitive parts sped up. they are enjoyable to watch for the craftsmenship. The video doesnt really fit this description, there was no where near enough footage of the construction, and we didn't get to see the design process at all.

 

3. Showcase. Glamour shots on glamour shots. I think this would have been the best route to have made this video better without adding as much work as trying to make it into one of the other two. unfortunately in this 6:46 minute video, there is only about 15 seconds of footage of the finished product, and only two very similar angles.

 

bonus feedback: I think these videos where linus just narrates in front of the table would be a little less awkward if the product/focus of the video was at least on the table with him in the shot. By that I mean the monitor assembly not the ifixit kit.

 

 

I don't know or claim to know enough youtube or video production to know if these suggestions would improve the performance of your diy type videos, and again, I DID enjoy this video and thought it was pretty well done, I just thought I would share my thoughts on what could be better. Constructive Critisism.

When will it be up on dailymotion

This looks really nice, but is their any point to it? It seems to take up more desk space. I hope you guys are keeping it.

[TopWargamer]

I mean, it's cool I guess, but doesn't make much sense. "Let's remove these thick bezels and add even thicker bezels." Do something similar to what you guys just did, but remove the bezel, if that's even possible. Make it happen @nicklmg.

The idea of a custom monitor housing is nice, but I'm not a fan of that thick wooden framing. I want the bezels as thin as possible. (<3 Dell U2415). Maybe this wooden monitor construction can be used in a redneck PC setup.

[Luscious]

Except when your proctologist's name is Ben Dover...

 

Jokes aside, this would be a better mod done to remove the stock bezels in order to bring the screens CLOSER TOGETHER. The other advantage is to help hide cables, especially if you have a 6 monitor set up like some megataskers do.
