Clean screen FTW
I just cleaned my laptop screen. I do this by putting the screen side flat on the kitchen counter (so the keyboard side is in the air) and using a dry paper towel to get rid of the marks and such. When the screen is flat on the counter like that and I’m looking at it upside down, I’m struck by how it looks. Like, there are no visible pixels.
Things that I’m used to seeing the right way around, and am completely aware of what they represent and how to control them, become these real-looking yet abstract patterns and colours when seen at a different angle. I think it would be one thing if I could see pixels - ie it’s obviously fake - but the fact there are no pixels on this very high-res display, and it’s not visibly brighter than the immediate surrounds, makes it look quite surreal sitting there on my kitchen counter.
And the screen is clean now.
