The monitor up top is like that because I wanted to have my camera on the centerline of the center monitor and for airflow from the fan since that's my cooling for 90% of the year. Putting the monitor center makes it hard for my 5 and a half foot tall butt to reach the window, plus it cuts airflow drastically. I've got a volt and an AC unit old enough to vote, my electric bill is high enough so I run AC minimally (granted, once I got on estrogen I became a lot more tolerant of the heat).

I have a Razer webcam. I don't have any idea how everything compares. I paid $100 and then saw a similar-looking one at Big Lots for $20.

Both have ring lights, but it looks like the Packard Bell one, which is discounted to $12(!) is much smaller, so that ring light would be more like a flashlight.



Also, I cannot find anyone saying what the framerate is.

That doesn't sound encouraging.

The ring light is dimmable, but it is on the cord, which makes sense for a headset, but not something behind your monitor.

Neither Walmart or Amazon carry it, but the former has a similar-looking onnnnn unit which allegedly does 2,560x1,440 at 30hz for $30.

That wasn't available when I bought mine!

Razer says it was the webcam of the year in 2020, but I can only find results for 2021 and 2022. Apparently they doubled the framerate, but also doubled the price.

Additionally, they replaced the ring light with a sensor.

If that produces the same-quality image without a bright light in my eyes I am in!

The onn webcam is only rated 4 stars, but a clearance vinsic one looks similar, boasts 4k, and is the same price.

Clearance.

Also not sold in-store.

My webcam is out-of-stock, but rated 5 stars. However, someone on the marketplace has it for $66.88, although somehow it is only rated 4.1.

I use a sony alpha 6000 and a HDMI capture stick. I don't need bright lighting, my monitors are enough to cover it since the sensor on this is so sensitive. Only does 1080p60 but it's so clear that it's production quality, I just use it to chat with fellow girls (AKA chats with like 7 other topless lesbians-- don't worry, my 3 GFs are okay with it), the sensor size is large so low noise and all that. I had the camera on hand and this ended up only costing me about as much extra as buying a webcam.

I tried long and hard to find an ultrawide monitor so I could have all of my data visible when I write progress reports, but my Samsung 4k television was significantly cheaper, with much more area.

I would love a curved screen.

Does anyone have a curved screen?

Mom randomly stopped on a clip from a clip show, like some niche community's answer to SNL, because world-class comedians are hit and miss.

Absolute nobodies are totally worth watching!

Some guy found a genie and wished for $1,000,000, a big curved television, and a werelephant.

The television looks 32" and the guy acted underwhelmed, like a curved television wasn't lifechanging, like he had hoped.

I just cannot imagine wishing for a television, but maybe "I wish for all of the information that I need to produce 50" curved 8k televisions when I was 6!"

I had a 34" ultrawide 1440p that was curved. Don't miss the curve, and the panel sucked horribly, the 2560x1440p I went back to had a clearer picture and that monitor was from 2011, replaced because I needed displayport for work laptop. Ultrawide had a fall and broke, and I went to the 3x2560x1440p setup because the 2 acers on the side were $160 ea and the center HP was like $220 or something silly cheap.
