10-year old 40" 4K in standard 16:9 ratio. way less neck swivel than two 24" side-by-side and way more screen real estate. 60 Hz max, runs off a $30 RX 570 4 GB. got no HDR, 100+ Hz, freesync, and other rich-people-stuff.

to me ultrawides are like what I have, only they chopped off like a third of the vertical resolution and they want more money for it.

unless you really need it, set up sync to work only on your home network. you enter a new event when away and it stays on your device.

once you get home, it then syncs with radicale/syncthing/nextcloud/whatevers.

they can get fucked with those prices, along with the fat fuck with the skinny jackets. tech is supposed to get better and cheaper at the same time.

RX 570, a midrange GPU, was introed at $170 in 2017. almost a decade later, midrange starts at $600? gtfo.

anyone care for a tl;dw?

when I see random folks sticking their mugs into the camera for the entirety of the video I just have the urge to close and block.
