Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes
MangoCats@feddit.it 5 days agoYeah… we have a 55" 4K tv, and from across the room you sort of have to squint to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p, up close sure, but I don’t watch screens that big from that close.

Next year, when our house construction is completed, I need to choose 2 new TVs, an 85 and a 65. At this point I’m looking for longevity more than all the marketing sticker BS being pushed now. I will probably go with a couple of Scepter non-smart TVs and just keep running my media from Jellyfin with a couple of NUCs attached to them, hehe.

The closest thing to “Smart TVs” in our home are Blu-Ray players, and they’ve never been network connected.
I like the ViewSonics we have, and we’ve had a series of NUCs over the years, but lately I’m finding that the N100/N150 fanless PCs like this are perfectly capable of HTPC duty: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWV439YW

Yeah, I’ve been weighing those as options too. Great little media centers for little money and lots of privacy.
