Never buy Hisense, got it.
I’d like to let people know that Sceptre still makes dumb tvs and they’re pretty good.
How hard is it for companies to just make a good screen screen with the necessary ports any nothing else.
We are all losing our minds.
I’m feeling a lot less crazy having my strict rule on AV equipment:
It should work out the box without connecting to the internet, and it shouldn’t be connected without a damned good reason.
To the point that I insisted on setting up the PS5 and playing a game on it before connecting, just to be sure.i wish people were less tolerating about this shit. most likely users of those tvs will grumble a little at first and then just accept and eventually disparage anyone for speaking against it.
people should get way more angry about this publicly.
just think about how things used to be 50 or 100 years ago. Having a huge scandal could actually end someones career or put down a company. Now there is nothing shitty people and companies can’t do because everyone is so apathetic they wouldnt care if they themselves are the victim.
“Brand denies wrongdoing”
Of course. “Use is consent to the user agreement.”
They could get you to swear eternal fealty to Lord Xenu, Alien God of the Universe in the user agreement that you consent to by connecting the TV to the internet.
I have never connected a TV to the Internet. I do have a smart TV but I just use it for my computer.
That’s one reason why I never connected mine to the internet.
We’re all going to be buying computer monitors to watch TV soon.
They’re becoming “smart” as well, unfortunately.
And projectors, many are still “dumb”
Genuine question, is there a downside to a HTPC?
I mean… good luck finding a 65 inch PC monitor.
That does seem like a bit of a downside.
The line between TV and PC Monitor is pretty thin. I’ve got my computer hooked up to my LG via HDMI and if there’s a difference between that and my office monitors, I can’t find it.
Storage management.
Stremio/Kodi exists though.
Thats why you dont get smart tvs.
Pro tip, buy a “Commercial Didplay” not a SmartTV and be happy.
Im still using an LG tv from 2007, and you could be too if you were my friend :^) I have jurassic park on bluray and i make pretty good popcorn
this is actually fucking terrifying
Fucking Hell? Just allowed it to update an hourago and already had a bad feeling and now I am reading this?
