My favourite monitor died Today. I loved this soulless uninspired “does the job” mediocre Dell thing. It was mine, has been for years.
But Today he decided that it has had enough. So I borrowed another Dell like the one I had, but with a lower pixel density and realised that I freaking hate it.
Fonts are blurry, I can see pixels, truly a first world problem if I ever saw one.
The screen is my work place. It is where I spend my work life every single day.
So within an hour of sitting behind it, I ordered a new Apple Studio Display.
I wouldn’t have done it if my old monitor hadn’t died and I didn’t have access to this other monitor, with a MacBook screen right next to it.
A bad day turned to an amazing day just like that.
