  Do you think the only thing TVs are used for is watching traditional terrestrial TV? Lol

    It’s the main purpose of them, yes. Define TV to me. I don’t see the point of paying for decoders, smart TV and bunch of other things I’ll never use, much smarter decision is to buy a monitor which focuses on image quality and performance, far more suitable for consoles, Roku, etc.

      TVs are fantastic monitors.

      It sounds reasonable to not want to pay for basically a small computer inside the TV.

      But in practice, its not that expensive of a component. And TV volumes are so high that they’re bigger and cheaper and higher quality than an equivalently priced monitor, anyway.

      Hence I’m fine with what I have, but I’m never buying a “monitor” again. It just makes no sense when I can get a 40" TV with 120hz VRR instead, that happens to work fantastically as a streaming box too.

    Well, the top killer is Boost, which is a client for Lemmy, sitting at 1/3 battery usage.
