I tried taking an actual photo of my screen, since I figured screenshots
weren't very useful unless you can view them on a display of the
relevant DPI, but apparently taking a good photo of an LCD under these
lighting conditions with this potato^Wcamera is harder than it sounds.
Anyway, here's a crappy photo, ~280DPI/3840x2160 with 175% scale. The
relative quality of the icons vs text/schematic is pretty accurate to
what I see IRL in my opinion.
