supplier got wise half way through the remainder of the contract and threatened to sue, so about once a semester some poor computer janitor had to physically disable the hardware (originally by throwing it down a literal flight of stairs, though they eventually just started using hammers because lol @ cleaning up the mess in the stairwell) or arrange for student orgs (who depended on the college's it scraps) to steal poo poo

that department was... weird, but it made sense from a cash point of view apparently.

lmao that's loving awesome

monitor manufacturers just cut the already-priced LCD glass differently. Samsung has a 3840x1080 monitor that's essentially made from cutting a panel that would go to a 4K TV in half.

better example:
LG makes this 58:9 monstrosity that they're putting into Verizon stores now

Driving it at 2kHz and surprisingly it is ending up a blur. I referred to that monitor and now they're looking at swapping out the LED paneling for it instead.

boring office display chat: friend of a friend wants an external display for their mbp 2015 for non-color sensitive work, is there something better out there than a dell p2317h in the $150-$200 range?

don't get a 1x display in this day and age unless it's for retrocomputing

especially if what you're attaching it to already has a Retina Display

a Dell 4K is like $400 and great

welp. the backlight is starting to get all wonky and uneven on the $300 27” LCD I got 5 years ago from MicroCenter back when people first discovered that you could buy the Apple Cinema Display panels wrapped in no-name Korean brands for dirt cheap. I’m shocked this thing lasted this long, I was expecting a cap to blow after 18 months, yet here we are.

I’m guessing the Dell 24” 4K is the way to go these days?

it's for a workflow that doesn't play well with a second display and space is at a super premium. plus retina display or not, 13" isn't a civilized screen size to work on when you're at a desk.

out of curiosity i'll still check them out if you have a part number, cheapest i'm finding for 3k is well over $400
