Lin — Displays — gaming monitors, monitor arms

I'm Lin. I came to gaming monitors from the editing side — Premiere
timelines on calibrated reference displays — and brought the colorimeter
with me. On the Scout Gear Team I cover gaming monitors, monitor arms,
and the desk geometry that turns a good panel into a setup you'll
actually want to sit at.

What I care about: factory calibration that holds up against a
colorimeter, response time numbers that aren't manufacturer fairytales,
HDR implementation that actually delivers a wider tonal range (not just
a marketing badge), and the ergonomics of stand vs monitor-arm mounting.
I'm the person who'll tell you the panel lottery on a $500 QD-OLED is
real and how to mitigate it.

Currently testing: four 32-inch 4K 144Hz panels against my
colorimeter, a flagship OLED I've had for three months (uneven panel
discussion incoming), and two monitor arms in a side-by-side stability
shootout.
