It is very common knowledge that he is a scam there is an entire reddit thread dedicated to just that
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comme ... ew_of_new/
135 upvotes and tons of evidence in the thread from various users who did an analysis.
The guy is a straight up "youtube monitor influencer" for manufacturers he doesn't "review" anything, he straight up does product ads for these companies and dresses it up as a "review" he isn't fooling anyone but the most gullible.
I rather take the verdict from an entire reddit community which all agrees on who these youtube influence scammers are than a rando here.
Not sure why you are getting upset and attacking me for speaking facts.
Monitor unboxed isn't advanced at strobing tests but they are honest, they do the basics and most importantly they use UFO blur busters testing which is the GOLD STANDARD of strobe cross talk testing methodology.
They have policies AGAINST manufacturers trying to dictate how they are allowed to test monitors and they have spoken about this to great lengths about these dishonest practices of manufactures who give special early access to their youtube influencers who pretend to be reviewers.
Optimum is a straight up shill, an entire reddit sub has exposed the guy.
He did a "review" of the 540 HZ zowie and it was straight up worthless, he never tested the strobing cross talk, never used UFO, the UFO image he provided was a 2 year old image from a previous zowie monitor.
As the reddit community said his "review" was completely useless because it is exactly what it is a product ad a scam.
There is a reason Zowie and others only send their early access products to youtube influencers rather than actual REAL reviews like Monitor Unboxed or Rtings.
Far as I am concerned since Zowie started this shit they have lost a lot of trust in the monitor community and I am glad they are being called out on it.
When manufacturers start sending their products to REAL reviewers like Rtings and Monitor Unboxed who are completely transparent in their methodology and have a standard they use for all products then they will start rebuilding some trust with consumers.
Last answer about Reviewer :
Like i said previously, what do you accomplished good for people on internet ? probably nothing.
Then who are you ? a random person, like everyone.
Like on this "Reddit" post that you mentionned
(aka the the irrelevant website and grouping of mad/troll people's which insults, criticizes the work of a person), Reddit is not relevant at all, the "upvote" things is the most idiot things never created on a website and we ARE NOT in Reddit here, plus, this is the R/Monitor subreddit lmao, I'm not going to talk about that but this place is no longer what it used to be and it is not relevant at ALL.
Here, we actually talk in-depth, talking about people's and criticize are not the subject and not the main focus of Blur Busters Forum, about Mister Optimum, he is really fine, his job is really good and it is a really kind person, don't forget that when you criticize a person, if the information goes back to him, it could hurt him, his job is to make sure that you are interested about the product so does is he sponsored ? maybe and that's logical (anyway he never answer to comment), does he is a technical reviewer ? ofc, i understand the disappointment that you have about this kind of Reviewer and i have a little bit the same disappointment as you but the way that you criticize is just unbereable.
I just don't think that barging in here just saying "this one is bad, this one doesn't know anything, you have to do what I say, what a bad world we live on" is a good idea.
Until proven otherwise, you have only provided tr*sh words by criticize others, no concrete proof.
Optimum is also preparing a much more in-depth testing place, it has already talked about it, he is also an influencer, as long as you create content, you influence and he is not a screen tester, he never was, so why does that shock you? he maybe have some rules about review some product but have some experienced to say if a product is bad or not.
Anyway, talking about "Rtings", there are a LOT of mistakes in their testing and sometimes they do not change anything, like the VG259QM, they said that it is perfectly correct in terms of color accuracy and that it is wide enough to make content, except that it is not the case AT ALL, when you test by yourself and you see that even after calibrated it look like a 150 dollars bland IPS panel, it is just ridiculous to see that on their "technical professional" testing, that there are mistake like that and they don't even change because "it's look fine for our testing machine", like, what ?
They only do "paper test", it's more like "if machine say that is good, you can buy" but it is not that how it worked, for example take the clamping force methodology, they only use a pressure test and write subjectively about it and saying "this one clamp a little bit but can be good for hours" but...how...why ? we all have different head and they didn't even test on some people in several hours, nothing, i don't really like their methodology to "test only by machine and based on that", there are also Aperture Grill UFO test but they also didn't use that.
Even for UFO test, their UFOs are not informed correctly, there is too much red on their tests, resulting in a red Rtings square and sharper white text on ALL TNs, just because the TN has trouble with red, so it will show finer text but that does not mean that it is less blurry with less ghosting.
They don't talk either and don't have any metrics in relation to Refresh Compliance while it is a really interesting and simple metrics to test (no one does that, maybe apart from Monitor Unboxed but they didn't do it precisely before) and also TotallyDubbedHD but this one...is really not relevant, this person IS the "reviewer" that you didn't like to see.
In conclusion nobody is perfect but i will still enjoy Optimum and Rtings content, no need to subtly criticized and insulted content creators.
About sending product and being strict, all brand do that, Asus and MSI for example but like i said, that's not the subject here.
End of this of this subject i will not answer anymore about that
