I’ve made my peace with my flat-screen monitor. I have, in fact, found a solution.
On the one hand, I’ve got a low-radiation, small-footprint, high-resolution display device. On the other hand I’ve got the fact that my eyes can’t resolve text on the screen very well.
The 30-day return policy on the monitor has not yet expired.
And so I’ve decided: I’m going to have eye surgery.
