  • So, for a given resolution, size affects how far back you want to sit. a 1440p on a 32" monitor is actually a coarser resolution than a 1440p on a 24" inch. But, if you slide the 32 inch further back, then your eyes won’t see a difference at all- and 32" too close causes you to turn your neck more, but 24" causes you to strain to see small things.

    So the question becomes, does your desk put your monitor closer? go with 24". does your desk have the monitors sit further away? 32". or, alternatively. which do you prefer? I prefer 32’s further back. but my desk is also a workbench for electronics and 3d printing and, uh. shenanigans.

    if you go with multiple monitors, I like them being all the same monitor with a thin bevel, or at least identical bevels. it just bugs me otherwise. As a side note, if youi’re doing a lot of office documents, or coding, You may wish to get one mounted on something that can be turned vertical- the vert format allows full 8.5x11 pages where horizontal doesn’t work that well. (or a third monitor with one turned horizontal. budget decides that…)

    I love that we have no idea what the back plates were for.

    Maybe species identification, thermo regulation, and display. Maybe also in mating displays.

    But we don’t even know how they were on the outside- external feature? Attached to each other? Burried under a truly amazing amount of chonkerness?

    I mean really.

    Imagine as one might that stegos were basically the camels of dinosaurs, and the plates sole purpose was to keep their fatty backsides from flopping over
