Surrounding area

gollark: I think most of them use "IPS" now, whatever that actually stands for, and have good viewing angles. My laptop screen was clearly minimal-budget and is "TN"-based, so the viewing angles are bad.
gollark: Also differently sized pixels, quite plausibly.
gollark: Your monitor and TV might use different panel technology.
gollark: No. Via confusing relativity things, light still goes at the same speed relative to you on the ship. You could happily walk around even closer to light speed, and to outside observers you'd just seem to get closer to light speed but never actually reach it. Something like that.
gollark: Anyway, this doesn't seem to... explain anything usefully? It seems like a retroactive justification for *why* stuff is the way it is, but in a way which doesn't seem amenable to making useful predictions, and is also extremely vague.
