AOC argues a new monitor is a better buy than memory or a GPU, and it's technically right, I guess

Even if it's kinda true, it still feels strange to say it.

Hahaha. Thankfully it's just the monitor company.

Relatedly — because yes, we love 3-letter name initializations — 6 years and counting since I last could abbreviate Brennan Lee Mulligan without causing mild confusion.

Also yeah I've never heard of this company before but figured from context that it probably wasn't the politician. Though she did play among us and maybe some other PC games with famous twitch streamers during quarantine.

Buying a new monitor (higher res) just meant I needed a better GPU to keep up. It was expensive finally upgrading from 1080p. I couldn't even afford to go full 4k, as I just couldn't swing getting a 4k capable gpu

Just wait until you hear about the Bureau of Land Management.

It's neither right nor wrong because it depends on what the other parts are. That said, and a good ISP isn't even that expensive with everyone getting in on OLEDs, and frankly I like how they look more.

Because you targeted resolution.

Getting an old game running on a good OLED at the save resolution can be a big upgrade for many.

Same with sound, the next best upgrade is a sub you can feel and a high powered center channel. Not shitty 9.2.2.
