Welcome to the Virchcast, the flagship podcast of ugly color-tinted

app icons that we love anyway. I'm your friend David Pierce and I bought a new

computer monitor. This is not like exciting big

news but to me it is exciting and big news. I went from 24 inches to 27 inches which is

actually a bigger difference than I expected.

I've almost got a 32 inch monitor,

but the idea of being one of those people

who has to like look from side to side

to see everything on my screen

just felt ridiculous. It's just a normal like 4K Dell monitor. I don't think I'm good enough or

sensitive enough to need a studio display or one of those LG ones that everybody likes that are, you know,

thousands of dollars. I'm a simple man with simple pixel needs and this one makes me happy.

But there is one feature about it that I deeply, deeply love already. So I spend all of my time staring into webcams, right? I'm doing podcasts, we're making videos. I'm just in meetings I'm using webcams all day every day.

That is the life of a modern person it seems and I never know where to look right you can do the

thing where you like barrel the camera and it kind of freaks everybody out because they're making eye contact with you over Zoom or you can sort of look way down and they're looking at the top of your head but you're looking at them and so there's no eye contact.

It's weird and what this monitor does is it just lets me, it just lets me slide it up and down.

So I can go, I can go down so it's easier, it's like right at eye level. I can make eye contact. I can move it up.

So then it's up there and it's nice and high and now it's not weird because I can look at sort of a normal distance and I'm looking right into the screen and not into the camera.

I love it.

Now I can just make whatever level of eye contact I want to and I can wield eye contact as a weapon

instead of just awkwardly sort of staring down all the time. I'm unstoppable now.

My webcam game is on point. Anyway, we're not here to talk about computer monitors or
