This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not as bad as this, but when I moved to a new town I got a free big TV with my new ISP. I was going with that ISP anyways so a free 4k HDR TV on top was a nice bonus.

I wish I had gotten some other bonus. Viewing angle is atrocious and it is impossible to get rid of the input lag (no there isn't a gaming mode or similar) so no games with precise timing can be played.

So now we have a big living room TV that is too good to replace with something better but bad enough to be a little bit annoying.

It really doesn't sound too good to replace? It sounds like you got free junk, and haven't actually bought a TV yet?

computer monitor + sound bar?

Or a beamer if you want a big screen.

I don't like sound bars, you can take my old 5.1 Yamaha system out from my cold hands!

I still use the 5.1 system I got with my first computer in '04.

Nothing to research. They're all the same bad or will get bad in the foreseeable future. Only thing that matters is the screen technology and the specs of your external media center.

My LG has none of this. Any advertising/ai can be disabled as can the network itself.

Wasn't there news lately that LG wants to display ads in pause?

I needed a second t.v for the basement and i decided to just not buy one.

I had an old mini projector I repurposed and there a nice tv upstairs/phones for anything else.

Cant wait till "minimal" stuff becomes the trend.

Joke's on you! Projectors get this "smart" bullshit, too!
