Yes of course 178° is a lie and marketing B’s, just like “1 ms response time”. Keeping in mind that 180° is the theoretical limit of that number, as you would view it from behind if you’re above it. They are saying “you can see something if you view it from that angle”, not “the colors are unchanged at that angle”. Again, marketing. There is no regulation or “official” definition on what the technical spec “viewing angle” means for a monitor, so it’s whatever the marketing department decides it means.

That feature kinda works, but it’s incredibly fragile. It has caused so many annoyances for me over the last year or so that I’m finally done with the thing. Just go with immich instead, less headache.

This is only a problem if you subscribe to nitro in the first place. Rookie mistake!
