Wow, relive the early days of really fucking terrible LCD displays for just under $2000.

What a time to be alive...

Why, for the love of all the gods, do people keep saying and writing "LCD display".

Tell me what the "D" in "LCD" means!

What does the "D" mean, hmmm!?

Dichotomy of humanities ego and id and how it affects the standards of morality and self expression in a pre post scarcity world?

Ok, so what's up with that LC display.

This kind of redundancy creates semantic resilience, thats why we take the type name out of acronyms.

Instead, when designing acronyms leave the type name out of it.

The same as the M in ATM machine and N in PIN number, V in HIV virus and C in UPC code!
Oh, the dreaded RAS syndrome!.

I'm off to read some DC comics.

For a work machine with a lot of text and little graphics, this is great. Less eye strain for long periods.

In theory yes. But after seeing a review yesterday I am fully disappointed. Even text looks like shit on this monitor.
