Looking for a cool monitor from a Linus Tech video

[James Stokes]

Hi this is my first post on Floatplane!

 

I am trying to locate a specific monitor that I remember seeing in one of Linus' videos in the last three or four months.  The things I remember are as follows:

 

• It had three feet, I think they may have been flexible, possibly.
• The monitor had a light shinning downwards and you could insert a stencil cutout to shape the light.  I remember Linus showing an example of this feature using a cutout that came with the monitor that created a light in the shape of their logo, which I think 'might' have been in the shape of a dragon.
• I also believe that the monitor used a black and orange color scheme.

• I know I have watched the video between from about June to September of this year.  However, it could have easily been a video that was release longer ago, considering how older videos can show up in the suggested videos section.

 

I can't quite remember, but I don't think that the video was solely focused on this monitor.  Anyway, I hope someone can remember what video I am thinking about L:)

Whoops, sorry about that!  As I mentioned I am quite new to both Floatplane and the Linus forums in general! 

I will take a look at the ROB Swift monitor and see if it looks familiar...  Thanks for the lead!

It looks like that was the one!  The monitor I was thinking about was the ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q monitor.

 

Thanks for the help, it was getting pretty annoying that I was not able to remember the what the name of the monitor was.

Ya, the orange was not much of the coloring.  Mostly highlights or trim.  I think that it also varied on which varient you picked or something.  Here is a pic I got that looks closer to the monitor Linus was reviewing.
