Hello, good local-time-zone-adjusted afternoon, and let’s just say it’s been a while. But I come back to you now at the turn of the technological tide. Well, sort of. Sadly I’m not here to predict an end to the ridiculous AI-fuelled chip crisis. That whole mess has a couple of years to run, surely.
Instead I speak of screens, where there is actually some very good news. In short, have you seen how cheap PC gaming monitors are? I mean remarkably, almost stupendously, cheap. I’m talking £60 / $60 for an entry-level 1080p panel with triple-digit refresh rate, sub-£200 / $250 for high-refresh 4K gaming. Heck, even OLED monitors now start with a “2” in both currencies.
