TVs are the worst fucking thing to change out.>deprecate FAST, meaning no one will buy them off you for even pennies>can't be DONATED because thrift stores are flooded with them>if you want to DISPOSE of them properly you often have to PAY THE RECYCLER to do itAt least just tossing it in the dumpster and letting it be someone else's problem is viable but to do it properly it's ridiculously hard.Can't the government just do something about this so people aren't footing the bill for throwing their own stuff out?
Profit motive for making reliable items?
Projectors aren't as marketable and fancy so they'll never replace TVs
>>109427227Just put it one facebook market for free someone will take it.
TVs aren't tech. Take it to /tv/ or /v/.
>>109427227>>deprecate FASTthere's no difference between a TV from 10 years ago and now
>>109427237they're super marketable and fancy. they're just inconvenient.you need to have the proper lighting and you need to set up a screen.
>>109427247The new ones all have software in them recording everything you are doing on it so that weird freaks can profile you.
>>109427261It's reminiscent of a Soviet inversion—"In Soviet Russia the television watches you."As you can see it also fits the final phase of capitalism.
>>109427227My Bravia from 2013 is still fine
Disposing tech is free in my country
>>109427227the latest Chinese made TVs are super easy to repair. It is always just some capacitor that needs to be replaced before the elecrolyte leaks too much. Watch a Youtube Video and learn to solder
>>109427227>if you want to DISPOSE of them properly you often have to PAY THE RECYCLER to do itlol just leave it on the sidewalk and someone will pick it up.
i just left a CRT in a garage cooperative today for the guard to take away. what is the problem?
>>109427227Just put it out on the curb and someone will take it, you also have bulky item collection as part of your trash pickup, right?
>>109427227We have this old 42" LG that is like 15 years old. Perfectly usable for watching slop. Actually, it looks better than newer TVs, LED backlights were a mistake. cold cathode is so much better.
>>109427227tvs are all shit basically. Heavy over-sized useless pieces of soul sucking trash
>>109429578most of the issue is the panel fucking up.
>>109427227>>>can't be DONATED because thrift stores are flooded with themI found this out recently needless to say I'm glad I asked before I dragged my TV down there
>>109429578a total fucking lie
>>109427227just keep using it till it no longer works retard
>>109427227Are they? Sell on eBay/wherever and offer collection. As long as your TV isn't in trash condition and priced fairly, I'm sure someone would eventually buy it.
>>109427227>deprecate FASTHuh? My parents still use their 1080p screens. Pretty sure none of their TVs are newer than a decade and they still work.
>>109427247There are many differences. Current ones are worse in almost every metric.
>>109427227What? Either repair it or drive to an apartment complex and throw it in their dumpster. Literally nobody will know, apartment dumpsters are where you throw bulk items away. The question is never who will let you do something it's who will stop you
>>109427227Why do you have a TV?
>>109431588I watch torrents on minethinking about getting projector but it lots of work. like get & install mount, fresnel screen, some black material that will block reflections from ceiling and side walls... idk, would still like to try it.
>>109431588You dont have a 4k 240hz smart tv? Are you homeless?
>>109427227>deprecate FAST, meaning no one will buy them off you for even penniesWhat? If it isn't burned-in, severely worn out, or smashed, there's tons of people who would buy a big TV from you for cheap. Middle class and rich people would rather get the newest upgraded ones for top dollar, but there are still poor people with smallish 1080p sets. That one looks a good bit better than that.
>>109431588I have a 75" and a living room computer for controller games. My main monitor for my main computer is also a 48" tv.
>>109427227Just throw it in the ditch nigga, not your fault the society doesn't make it easy to dispose them
>>109427498Yeah it's free here as well, but somebody always pays. It's just not directly connected. And we're fast running out of money for all our "free" services. But, people will still vote for the politicians who promise them more free things. I can't wait for the end credits, so I'll vote for those guys too. But in effect it's easy to recycle here. Just take them to most any electronics store or recycling center or shopping mall.
>>109427227I love in a country with refuge centres where you can just take this shit and be done with it.It probably goes to some landfill in Africa but that's not my problem.
>>109427261I don't care because I don't connect them to the internet. They are subsidizing the product hoping they will be able to profit from that but I simply opt out.
>>109427227I bought a cheap 55" TV 7 years aog and it's doing fine. Only retards that must have the latest thing are affected, and they can suck it.
>>109427237UST projectors are popular and getting more popular. You need a specific kind of screen to maximize PQ though. There's still the problem with cost as real 4K is expensive and you'll never reach OLED in terms of black levels.
>>109430430This, I don't fucking understand these people.
>>109435970Go to a retail store on Black Friday, blacks in the US buy a new TV every year it seems. Either on pure FOMO or because they don't take care of their stuff. It's usually the cheap Chinese TVs that are like =<400.
