How does that 55” monitor do when you’re doing real stuff

Okay, so to go into a bit more detail, it's the 55" curved Samsung, I got it at Wal-Mart. I had previously been using a 43" Vizio, and that was nice, but ... yeah. Gaming, it's like playing in IMAX. Luv it. For "working", it's a mixed bag. I find that if I'm doing 'normal' stuff like word processing, or etc., I just use the portion of the monitor in front of my face, as if it were only 27" or whatever. Placing stuff in the upper/far corners is awkward, and I only use them for shoving things off to the side for a moment, multiple panes, etc. The primary task is always front and center. For videos, I tend to watch them in a window, because that large a screen, that close is overwhelming. That, and most streaming quality stuff really looks better in more of a 1080 sized window. (I don't have super internet) The one thing, however is I do 3d modeling and 3d printing, and having my models full screen is wonderful. I'd post a screenshot here if I had one handy, but sadly I don't. Maybe later. Anyway, that's my story, and sorry if it isn't too cue related, but them's the slides. At least there's no avatars. Yet. :)

After seeing the massive Voter Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election, I disagree with anyone that thinks a strong, fast, and fair Special Counsel is not needed, IMMEDIATELY. This was the most corrupt election in the history of our Country, and it must be closely examined!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2020
