I just want a big monitor. just display the pixels and I'll be happy

I feel the exact same way about my 42" 1080 Sony Bravia. It's heavy as fuck, so I had to hang it on the burliest monitor arm I could find, but it was built like a tank and the picture quality is still great. Bonus - since it's not a flat panel, the built-in speakers are more than decent.

My 1080p plasma is still going strong. Sure there’s burn in but it’s had it since I got it and it’s a real big dumb tv. Dreading moving the monstrosity across the country, but it was the perfect price and I don’t want to drop a ton of money on a new tv during a time of uncertainty.

I will say my oled steam deck has made me want a better tv, but I can wait for it.

Just remove them just in case.

I think those are in the back pocket

TVs can last for decades and it'll be a long time if you're waiting for it to get "broken".

Don't worry, they're making them cheaper and less reliable by the minute!

Ummm.....who wants to tell him?

old TVs last forever. After our decade old one finally bit the dust My family got a fancy ass huge 4k Samsung one and it died in like 3 months. No physical damage, it just stopped turning on 🤷‍♀️
Replaced it with a cheap 1080p one from Walmart and it's been doing well.

We played that board game island thing in Wii Party last night. Rock solid, after ... 16 years? Wii for life, people.

Mine still works. It survived two wives and four kids (and me).

Depends on screen size and distance. Here's a nice graph:

I do recommend an OLED or QLED, though.

For me, it does, granted what other people said OLED you'll notice more than 4k. But ultimately it depends on what you like. If fidelity is your thing then go for it. If you don't care and are happy, then no need to rush

It is on work PC due to app scaling. On TV it greatly depends on it's quality, the quality of a source video and so on. Since I lucked into have an okay display, and mostly watch old 720-1080p shows and movies I never cared to update my TV, but since enormous 4k torrents are popular I guess people do seek and enjoy them. See if you have some friends with it and try watching a movie with them to know if you care about the difference.

do you have any source that would provide 4k content? I feel like even 720p is good enough at a decent bitrate. But it also depends on the size of the screen and the distance to it.

The kinect and even PSMove had great potential, but they never did anything that really stuck out. The wiimote was mostly used for one thing across multiple games: wiggle it and get a function that a button also did more reliably. That said they somehow released multiple titles that stuck with people for a long time, even some of the shovelware type games that actually used motion tracking were kind of fun. Meanwhile with Kinect, while microsoft still actively supported it, you almost exclusively had shovelware type experiences but they had the word Kinect in the title. Even Disney joined in. Those games were unapologetic garbage and largely didn't function, even with plenty of time setting up a kinect play space.

It took years after the kinect was no longer popular/supported for developers that actually wanted to do something with it to arise, with Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator. Hilarious results. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1507780/discussions/0/3192486000805884901/

I never played a Kinect game that was actually good.

I would like the hardware for other reasons, though. It's a great FBT system for VR.
