Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

Most developing countries have cheap 1080p TVs right now, but others are still using CRTs, and still others are watching on their phones (like some of my poorer relatives who do get their entertainment fix through their phones while the big TVs in their living rooms rarely gets turned on).

I think my TV is like 32" and 720p from 2012 or so. It’s fine.
Before that I had a projector which was fun sometimes but mostly too big for the room. Cool to take psychedelics and run a visualizer while it was pointed along the floor at you. You could feel the fractals on your skin. I don’t do that anymore, so a 32" TV is fine.

My TV is a 50" I think? 1080p from 2013. It was cheap then, and it’s worth nothing now, on the market. But it works fine.
The backlight is evenly distributed, which is good, that’s a pet peeve of mine. But otherwise it’s unremarkable.
Honestly, I’d really like to try those new HDR TVs, a mini LED or OLED or something. But I just can’t justify it. Why? Because the TV I have, works fine 🤷♂️
If it magically died tomorrow, I’d upgrade. But I definitely don’t need 8k. Heck I don’t need 4k. I barely watch any content at 1080, it’s mostly 720 🤷♂️
