gollark: Obviously we need monitors which can properly represent laser videos, by blinding oyu.
gollark: To be able to emit ionizing radiation, yes.
gollark: Most monitors can't even generate a lot of *visible* spectrum colors, even. There are a bunch of color space diagrams of this on the internet, except they're not a very good way to show it because, unsurprisingly, the cyan-ish bit they can't display well just looks like identical cyan.
gollark: That would just allow per-*column* control, unless you scan them left and right really fast.
gollark: But I wanted per-pixel ionizing radiation control.
