Displays are everywhere! You likely use them every day, whether it’s by watching TV, using your computer, or interacting with your phone- you can’t really get away from them these days. There are so many kinds of displays, though- so there must be some different, right?

EPISODE NOTES/MISTAKES: We had incorrectly (jokingly) said that ultrawide displays had a display resolution of “21×16”, they are generally 21:9.
