When I was a young boy with sharp eyesight we had pixels the size of bricks.

Now I'm old, my eyesight is all ****ed and we have 8K TVs with super small "quantum dots" with out-of-this world HDR.

If God exists, he is one sick ****er.

Well, precisely because I can watch something without glasses. It's big enough that I see all the important details without them. And it's 4K because they don't make big TVs in a different resolution nowadays.

The big TV is your glasses.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't have any contacts or glasses

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Valid reason

I'm thinking the majority of people who need glasses and watch TV without them are probably far-sighted.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Because a bigger things are easier to see without glasses?

Difficult to find a big TV that isn't 4k these days.

Is this even a thing for people who need glasses?

I can't read some programme descriptions on streaming services from my sofa without glasses

It's big enough that I see everything important even without them, although a little blurry. And it's nice to be without glasses from time to time.

I need glasses but rarely wear them when watching TV unless there are subtitles or I am playing a game that I need to pay attention in. Our TV is just at the limits of my vision so I can work a little bit to make out details and I am usually just too lazy to put them on unless they are right there.

Go into a store and buy a 43” or larger TV and find literally any good looking model that isn’t 4K. The few 1080p ones out there have shit contrast and color

I got LASIK and don't need my contacts anymore
