    Anybody have un-enshittified 4k tv recommendations?

    Mainly want good picture quality for movies + high refresh rate for games.

      Well what about a PC monitor? You can get u to like 43" and beyond. Obviously they are great for gaming as well.

      The other very impractical mention - after TVs starting adding ads, cameras and microphones, I switched to a 2nd hand projector. Most have no smart features.

      All you need is a white or off- white wall to protect on to. And the ability to block some light coming into the room.

      Downsides:

      • They can be bulky and noisy. Particularly the 4k ones
      • might need separate speakers
      • Not as low latency as a tv but models do come with VRR
      • bulbs do get darker from prolonged use (and aren’t always cheap to replace)
      • you might need separate speakers
      • and there are the trailing cables
      • And you’ll never get the inky blacks of oleds. But for picture size and immersion for the cost, they are basically unbeatable.

      Some can project from a coffee table.

      For tv series and YouTube like content, I use a laptop. Then for big movies, I use the projector and 5.1 sound system (mostly 2nd hand as well.)
