I watched the DF video. I don't watch LTT because, while the topics are often interesting and the resources and effort is usually there, the technical chops are not. Linus never developed a culture of putting heads down and making sure it's right with a thorough technical understanding. There are too many options for me to waste time on creators not creating well enough.

  The LTT video[1] is also from their ShortCircuit channel, their unboxing/ first-impressions channel and should not be confused with their review content. I personally watched the 54 minute in-depth overview from My Life in Gaming[2], and it was clear that LTT/ShortCircuit overlooked or were incorrect in some parts of their initial impressions. EDIT: Specially in regards to the display, they spent no time at all to experiment with the 3 built-in GBA display modes; if they used the modes that replicated the original GBA or GBA SP (AGS-101) screens, they would've had a more color-equivalent appearance. MLiG in their video spent 10+ minutes on display modes alone.

    I watched the MLIG and MVG videos as well. It seems clear that care and engineering was put into the display logic.

They did use the GBA SP mode in the comparison: https://youtu.be/h6l5fAbcim0?t=619 https://youtu.be/h6l5fAbcim0?t=619 But the broader point that the channel is specifically unboxing/first-impressions and not a review is definitely accurate.
