  • I’ve never heard being close as an issue, I can’t see any problems from distance myself. They just have really bad viewing angles, so yeah if you are slightly off angle to it, the edges start to fade. My IPS experience was horrible though, tried a few and the blacklight bleed/IPS glow is just horrendous. I use dark mode on everything, so there’s no avoiding seeing it. OLED gave me eye strain and burn-in isn’t something want to deal with (the monitors just become ewaste after a couple years). So… here we are with the good ol’ TN panel.


  • Well there’s other downsides to it, but IPS glow is it’s only defect.

    Severe enough that it renders the monitor unusable. Even if you win the “IPS lottery”, there’s still some and I can’t understand willingly buying something that looks broken. TN is definitely king still, even with the worse viewing angles, but like who uses their monitor from 45 degrees.





  • Making friends through text can be hard. Obviously you want to be in a space where people share the same interest as you, as a common interest you can discuss.

    If you play video games, it’s a lot easier the break that ground. Chatting to people in-game is a good way to make friends as you always have a bounce back topic as you learn more about each other.

    Typing sucks, I always use voice or ask someone if they want to. So much easier to gauge someone that way. But online gaming has become more anti-social over the last 5+ years.
