  • The AI-driven memory shortage doesn't just affect PCs
  • More capacity is coming, but not before 2027
  • Low-margin budget products are likely to be hit hardest

I just want a straight up monitor with no built in wifi or Bluetooth or even speakers.

Just display the image I want it to when I want it to.

Literally this. Let me use my own fucking box and my own goddamn pc how I want with big monitor. Also put DP on it fuck HDMI. I don’t need trackers in my bloody tv OS. My tv has an OS!!! That’s ridiculous. Sorry this is one of those things I’ve always been super pissed about.

Sceptre

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

For real, all my TVs are Sceptre. They are not easy to find, but they are incredibly reasonably priced and completely dumb perfection.

If people like us make them popular enough, maybe they'll realize this is a lucrative niche market.

I use old dumb tvs as monitors. They don't have the best picture, but are better and cheaper than anything currently for sale.

Every modern monitor has some memory in it. They have timing controllers and image processing chips that need DRAM to function. Not much, but it is standard DDR3/DDR4 or LPDDR RAM.
