It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

You can choose not to have a TV. I only know about the current state of smart TVs because of sometimes being around the ones other people have, I would never buy one myself, there's no need. Any media you want to see can be viewed in other ways.

    Do you have a 55" OLED laptop screen to watch movies and play games on?

    I mean, all power to you, but I really like having a nice sized TV.

    That's fair. I think if I wanted a larger screen I'd look into big monitors and some kind of expansion of my homelab setup to display things to it, but I can see why people might want a dedicated device with less setup required, even one where the setup is still pretty confusing.

    I looked up some statistics and it seems, depressingly, that consumers are in fact buying more televisions and it's projected to increase, so I guess I have to concede the point that what they are doing is successful despite all reason.
