Notes
    gollark: I suppose they are good if you have a *really big* display to replace several lower-resolution monitors.
    gollark: I don't, obviously, but I don't think I could resolve much more detail than my 1080p laptop screen displays at its size.
    gollark: Windows upscales stuff a lot on even 1080p screens.
    gollark: No, because you're limited by the eye's resolution.
    gollark: They're too pixely. They should have fewer.
