I doubt anything with more than a small fraction of your list ever did or ever
will exist. It would be a dream come true. I think the closest you'll come is the
results from:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=pc+hardware+reviews&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8>
That said, it seems to me pretty much anything that was RTM at least 10 or so or
more months ago is covered by FOSS, subject to bugs that either haven't been
reported yet, or bugs that just haven't been known about long enough to get fixes
through QA yet. The keys then are the CPU and/or GPU's announced release date(s),
possibly a little longer for AMD than for Intel for CPUs, and the reverse for GPUs.
FWIW, most of what hardware I buy new comes from Newegg, where I do read reviews.
I have bought a fair amount used, both off of eBay, and as "refurb" off of Newegg.
My luck with displays has been better buying refurbs. Only new Dell display I ever
bought was in 2017, and barely lived beyond its warranty, after having had to have
it replaced within 30 days of original purchase. OTOH, only two out of about 10
Dell flat screens I ever bought used gave up the ghost, with two 16:10s in
constant use currently at age 12, along with one Samsung 16:10 13 and one NEC
16:10 14, plus a 2K 16:9 Acer bought new, age 7. All in current use were selected
in very large part because they feature DisplayPort inputs, but also each has 2 or
more others, VGA and/or DVI and/or HDMI.
Reviews can be helpful, but mainly after finding good candidates
satisfying technical requirements. Finding what satisfies the main
technical requirements can be quite a problem. It has been for me. I'm
wanting monitors that:
1. can display at least 95% of the DCI-P3 color space. I'd actually
prefer significantly better (Rec.2020 color space, Rec. 2100 color
space, or (Adobe) wide-gamut RGB color space), but if such exists,
they're few and far between and too much pricier.
2. at least 2K resolution.
3. 26-27 inch.
The first above is for me the key one. Three major sites can neither
search nor filter by color space (gamut): amazon, newegg, and pcpartpicker.
By the way, what does "RTM" mean? Searching the net, nothing that I saw
seemed to fit.
