[FRIAM] Computer Monitors now?

[Gillian Densmore]

The Odessy 9 is probably a top 15 monitor.  A LTT reviewer might call it a
absolute unit of a monitor. lol 😂  alas at about 2.5k (onnsale) it'll be a
Sea food diet kid of thing: I can See the monitor.*

Ernest Q: at 49 inches is projector a better value (and idea )for
repairability and  how long it'd last

*LTT also did a custom build for Dead Mau5 who wanted something  5 of
them.... but no graphics card available can drive all of that, so settled
for 3. I have no idea how you'd physically arrange that and have it make
sense.
