I think Eizo is what I'm looking for, I've never heard of the brand before, so I appreciate the recommendation! Hopefully I can convince myself to buy something slower than 120... I don't mind paying for a bit more for profes

So I own 5 LG monitors. But now I can't buy LG. I also refuse to support Samsung. Are there any high quality panel manufacturers left that aren't run huge pieces of shit? Or at least try to respect the people buying their hardwa

I appreciate the candor :) But if I'm honest about the size of my ego; the people who write code I admire, the ones who feel remorse when something they built breaks. The people who care about others, and about quality, and don't
