The grain on the DC-1 is quite a bit more noticeable than the grain on Apple's nanotexture displays. I don't find the latter distracting, but I found that I couldn't really read PDFs with small text on the DC-1 because of the grain. (Some of that is probably resolution-related too, to be fair.)
Yes, I find that there are differences in eye strain between the regular and nanotexture displays, even in a dark room with no reflections. It's worth trying both. One interesting difference between the two that not a lot of people realize is that the light emitted by the regular screen is circularly polarized, while the nanotexture is largely non-polarized.
Can you explain more about what that means / share a link to further reading? Tried searching but couldn't find much online about the light polarization specifically, and am interested in the nanotexture for reducing eye strain.
There's some evidence that CPL emissive screens cause less eyestrain than linearly polarized emissive screens (e.g., https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9010255), although the evidence there is not wildly strong. If you have a pair of RealD 3-D glasses (CPL filters) and look at a nanotexture iPad, you'll see that the nanotex layer decoheres the polarization of the underlying display, which is more like how normal (reflective) paper behaves.
Indeed: only trying them both side by side at home would yield a useful conclusion. Trying to gauge which would be better for you from the Apple Store display would be about as useless as trying to decide which big TV to buy from Best Buy based on how they all look in the store, with settings completely other than those you'd use at home.
I've recently upgraded from LG 5K (dead pixels, warranty returned money) to Studio Display. I have never thought, how much I love reasonably (for a monitor) good speakers integrated into a monitor.
Also, Studio Display is brighter (600 nits vs 500 nits).
we use Screen Time on iPad and iPhone with some limited time for YouTube, while google.com has different time limits for school...the end game went like this:
a) you can search anything at google, go to Videos and watch youtube with no limits, the url is still google.com
b) he did come up with an idea to screen record everything and then re-watch everything using Photos app. After that was blocked, apparently you can access same photos thru Camera.app :)
Right now, I have youtube filtered by MAC on my Roku. I would like to add granularity so that they can watch some youtube, but they make that too hard. So we all just share the living room TV right now so that I can just keep an eye on things.
I'm still getting outsmarted though. I have locked-down parental controls on Minecraft so that my two kids can play together but not invite or be invited to stranger's worlds. But somehow, I see other people in there. Microsoft parental controls leave a lot to be desired. I don't know how non-tech-oriented parents do it.
The original point was “let users access online banking and manage assets”, not whether you could “pull [it] out in the town square to make payments”. As an aside, why the town square? It’s oddly specific and is a phrase I’ve mostly read in stupid comments about Twitter in the last couple of years.

e.g. Can you pay for groceries with it like you can with a phone? Can you use it to pay for food at a restaurant, buy train tickets, or many other things are in many cases cashless.
"access online banking and manage asset" is a shorter way of saying all of the myriad of ways people need to use online banking day to day.

Many moons ago I decided to rip everything to AAC, until one day I brought cd full of mp4 files to my dad’s car…and realized that none of them could be played.

Chicago95 is nice, but these days you should also install the (experimental) GTK+4 theme from b00merang https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 to get proper styling in the latest apps. That repo also has configs for Cinnamon, GNOME-Shell and MATE desktops in addition to the Xfce which Chicago95 also provides. (Unfortunately it has not been updated for some time, whereas Chicago95 is more up to date.)
