Spec me a way to test/compare/show off new monitors please!

Got a couple of new monitors and want to find some nice content to compare to my existing one/each other.

I'll be putting them through their paces with my usual games, but any suggestions of Youtube videos/films/games etc. to particularly show off any strengths and weaknesses?

Cheers!

Thanks, I was more looking for games to try which would have that "wow" factor on a bigger & better screen

Forza Horizon 4 is quite pretty and runs at a decent clip. I like the night race (street race) that starts at the bottom of the map and ends up at the festival site.
For movies - near the start of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, fighting the tentacle monster. For youtube stuff any 4k HDR demo, whether you're running at 4k or with HDR or not, they're trying to make them look appealing. The Top Gun trailers look quite flashy too.

don't forget to reduce that EMI as much as possible to improve that picture quality.

Shadow of Tomb Raider is a classic one to benchmark!
