A network administrator quipped that the appeal of a 40-inch monitor is not gaming or film but running a very wide terminal window to watch DNS zone transfer log entries scroll past on individual lines. The joke plays on how tech workers justify big displays with niche monitoring uses rather than conventional entertainment.
