pixels

72 ppi is nothing. And we have been stuck with this for 20 years. Why do we need to resort to stupid tech like anti-aliasing instead of resolving the core of the issue, more pixels per inch!!!

It is really surprising considering all the progress cpu's, video cards, etc. have made.

The flickering occurs across operating systems and screen resolutions. I'm pretty sure it's related to dirty power… >>> More
