At a certain point yours eyes can't tell much difference. It is like music, people would obsess over tweaking their stereo systems to the point where I doubt you could physically tell the difference, it was mostly imagined.
Huge tvs also require big rooms to make the viewing angle work. Not everyone has a room they work in. Apartments are especially too small for huge tvs.
4k is enough, 60fps is enough, no smart or AI stuff is perfectly fine...
What about reducing the energy consumption? That's an innovation I want.
I hope you mean 60hz is enough for TVs. Because I certainly don't want that regression on my monitor 😄
Totally agree. Huge difference when moving windows or gaming on a 120 Hz or higher monitor. So smooth.
Never noticed.
You have never noticed the difference between 60 and 120hz?
60 and 240hz, yes I had it setup correctly.
So important that my windows move smoothly, right?
Just like my entire system. Smooth.

Getting rid of my tv was the best thing I did for myself. That’s the future. Removing and reducing all screen time.
We didnt have one for a long time.
Then we got one for free. So we use it for movies and some gaming together, but we dont have any streaming subscriptions.
I agree it'd be better to not have. But im into old console gaming so I like to have a couple tvs.
Its good to balance it with reading and exercising of course! But movie nights are fun.
Fuck.
Now instead of each new generation of TVs being slightly higher in resolution some god damn business tech executive is going to focus on some god damn bullshit to try and change or add which is going be absolutely fucking ridiculous or pointless and annoying like AI television shit or TV gaming or fuck my life. Smart TVs are bad enough but they can't help themselves they need to change or add shit all the fucking time to "INNOVATE!!!" and show stockholder value.
Resolution was something easy and time consuming but we can't rely on that keeping them from fucking TV up any more.
