Well, smellovision was a thing, too, once. I can't imagine this going very far.

Ha! This is impossible. You don't even know where I live right now!

Is that some sort of Polynesian reference? Sorry, I'm not up on your people's vernacular.

I thought you were quoting Robert California, poorly.

Earlier in the episode it was established there was a Japanese energy drink with a flavor of "Coconut Penis."
Later James Spader takes a drink and says, "Ugh, why did they have to add coconut."

Which came from a different Robert California line, "You don't even know my real name!" which is what I thought you were misquoting.

so... I have 2x27" monitors right now, and they're just wide enough that the edges aren't very useful. Also, I want something taller than these (1440p) monitors. So I found a 43" 2160p monitor, and was like "That sounds good" and bought it.

Turns out it's basically a TV. It's 16:9, not ultrawide. And kinda dim.

Like why can't I get a nice 34-38" at least 1600p monitor that it's just a stupid ultrawide?

I love my ultrawides. I have two 34" 2K (3440 x1440) side by side. They are curved as well. Which really helps with the viewing angles. I have just over 62" x 13" of glorious space to fill!

I've considered a larger (43") ultrawide 4k curved monitor, but can't find one.

I need something taller. Lots of stuff I do is vertical, not horizontal.
