    Now most people need massive TVs, but still spend most of the time looking at the small screen on the phone.

      Then they put that massive TV so close to where they sit that it’s just painful to actually watch anything on it because there is just no way you can get the entire image in your field of vision comfortably.

      Maybe I am old, but I miss the days when people had some sense and bought TVs actually sized for the distance they will be sitting from it.

      Not me, I will refuse to watch any movie I’ve never seen on a tiny fucking phone screen. I at least have some standards

          Dam. I was only able to afford the 55 inch in 2020 so I’m just rocking the CX. Which did have the hackable firmware to remove all ads from YouTube so I’m not complaining. https://rootmy.tv/

              I’m talking about sponsor block for in video ads, but that’s very cool that you can just not agree to that, are you in Europe per chance. I’m also talking about ads before the YouTube video start

                Nope, I’m in North America. All LG TVs no matter where you are let you do this. Also, I use an Nvidia Shield with smart tube and it has built in sponsor block + ad blocking.

      Because unless you’re buying a quality panel the difference between a 45 inch and 65 is usually $150. For something that you need 3 or 4 of (tops, if you have a family or large house) that’ll last 5+ years, the value proposition is high enough to spend the extra money.
