I’ve been seeing a few posts about this, and judging by comments I’ve seen on posts related to this, there’s been bad sentiment building up with LMG for some time now that has culminated in this recent dispute. Anyone have a brief catch-up of events?

    Nice one, thanks! I tried watching the start of the GN video about this, but it felt like being dropped in the middle of the situation and it assumes you have some prerequisite knowledge. I’m only loosely familiar with LTT.

    I’ll go give the video another chance now.

      He recently introduced LTT labs, a lab that tests hardware and see if they perform to their advertised specifications. He tests a whole bunch of stuff like headphone audio, monitor visual quality, colour accuracy etc

      The controversy is mainly that the data produced from the lab has a lot of errors that should have been caught before uploading

        Yeah, the gist I seem to be getting from GN’s video is that there is a lack of due diligence and journalistic integrity at LMG w.r.t. testing products, primarily because they’re unnecessarily rushing content out.
