If the wonders of modern high-tech monitors aren’t doing it for you, with their incredible resolution, amazing fidelity, and gee-whiz refresh rates, maybe it’s time to take a step back. The latest design out of China features a stunning sixteen shades of gray, which you can count on your fingers and toes with a few piggies left over.
