Watching Monday’s penultimate episode of Better Call Saul, I thought, “Hey… is that a Dell Ultrasharp 1708FP?”
“It doesn’t look big enough to be a 1908FP…”
“… well, maybe it does. Either way.”
I have two Ultrasharp 1708FP monitors.
The timeline of the TV series places that scene circa 2010, so the attention to period detail is spot-on. A noteworthy point is that back then not all computer monitors were suitable for medical imaging use. The 1708FP was, and my dentist’s office has one in every exam room.
When the Ultrasharp 1708FP was being discontinued, I bought mine in a 2-for-1 deal from Dell Direct. As long as these things continue to be reliable and they stay bright enough, I’ll keep using them.
Sorry for the spoiler, but I have to say that Rhea Seehorn outdid herself yet again. Kim Wexler leaving her old life behind was exactly the point, and her portrayal in the “Waterworks” episode is a completely different person than the character everybody knows. If Rhea doesn’t win the Emmy this year, then it will truly be a case of voter fraud.
I recognize every scene with loving clarity. Yes, the attention to detail was so good it scared me. Still, did we reall still have flip phones in 2010 or were most of those burners? Gus was always cracking his in half. And all those working pay phone? I dunno …
Yes, if Rhea doesn’t get the Emmy, I will scream in horror as loudly as I did when smarmy yet loveable Howard got shot.
