Special rule:

Thinkpad but with 1600x900 resolution on the 24" screen and full hd on a 22" screen in the office.

That buys you only around 2 years from personal experience.

That job ain't right.

I would instinctively start to strangle anyone who gives me a 900p screen that isn't a CRT.

900p on an any LCD monitor at any point in history was always very wrong, something that should not be. Even 1080p is torture for office-ish work.

It was crappy monitors too so everyone was dealing with it differently like cardboard cutouts against incoming light or special glasses etc.

I worked in the office only 1 day per week but even that was too much. Christ.
