  Why, for the love of all the gods, do people keep saying and writing “LCD display”.

  Tell me what the “D” in “LCD” means!

  What does the “D” mean, hmmm!?

    The same as the M in ATM machine and N in PIN number, V in HIV virus and C in UPC code!
    Oh, the dreaded RAS syndrome!.

    I’m off to read some DC comics.

    Ok, so what’s up with that LC display.

    This kind of redundancy creates semantic resilience, thats why we take the type name out of acronyms.

    Instead, when designing acronyms leave the type name out of it.

  For a work machine with a lot of text and little graphics, this is great. Less eye strain for long periods.

    In theory yes. But after seeing a review yesterday I am fully disappointed. Even text looks like shit on this monitor.
