Maybe I’m showing my age but I remember 3k+ for a 60+” DLP TV with shit viewing angles and a bulb that needed replacing eventually. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] db2@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago permalink fedilink source parent [+] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works -16 points 7 months ago (3 children) Lol, such bs. When HDTVs were made 'smart', and then 3D, the only ones sold were 40"+ and £3,000+. Took about three years for that price to drop 90%. But this is garbage news, who still wants a television in this century? Pubs, community spaces and that's about it. Monitors are significantly cheaper, with less bloat and software lock. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 52 points 7 months ago (1 child) who still wants a television in this century?

On wait; thats literally an HDTV minus the tuner. The only thing that makes it a TV IS the tuner... and honestly it's not bad to have in an emergency or for local OTA stuff anyway. If I never use it then having it doesn't matter. permalink fedilink source parent
