Like payphones and paying with cash.
>>219754658Damn, that's a good price. That's a quarter less of what I paid for a 55 inch.
Nigga, I cannot watch a 90+ minutes feature film on tv or computer. It is not just the OCD and constant distractions from the phone, it is also the kids who want to spend time with me until 10. as much as I like it, I need time for myself. and coming back to the OCD, not feel the urge to discuss what I see on 4chan or reddit or look up something regarding the film and potentially spoilering the rest. or telling myself I will finish it another day and never actually get to it.and that is not even accounting for watching in company
>>219754658Can someone answer me something real quick?So obviously I don't want a SmartTV because I don't want them to hear all my conversations and steal my data etc. Dumb TVs are cool, but like... what stops me from buying a SmartTV and just never connecting it to the internet ever? Won't it essentially just be the same as buying a "hospitality" Dumb TV then?
>>219754743You can watch anything on a computer screen or laptop. You can even get the same experience with a phone that you get in a theater. Just put the screen close enough your eyes and use headphones. For example, lying on your back and setting your phone on your chest is nearly 1:1 to a theater experience when you turn the nightstand light off.
>>219754808Some smart TVs start complaining HARD when they can't connect for X amount of hours, to the point of pausing your shit or displaying pop-ups about it. I'm sure we're close to the point where you can't even start watching unless you connect it to wifi.
had to recently explain to my dad that the 75" tv he paid almost $3k for 10 years ago is only worth about $50 at most now because you can go to wal mart and get a similar sized new tv for $300-400. It's almost not even worth driving it to good will to donate it.
>>219754818do you know how to read? I said nothing about the quality, just about being able to get out of your house for a few hours and focus on something else for recreation.
>>219754818>You can even get the same experience with a phone that you get in a theaterthe absolute state of /tv/ - Television & Film
>>219754658So no-one is going to mention the brown people language on the sign ?
>>219754743>kidsskill issue
>>219754658I don't get the point of going above 70 inchesjust get a projector at that point
>>219754658Dont these TVs have ads?
>>219755002I rember having this mentality but then I realized we come to this world to build a legacy, not to sit in our homes and age hypnotized by a screen
>>219755002Woah, if I don't reproduce I can play red deaderino!?
>>219754658I love paying in cash when a zoomer is manning the register. Pay attention to how slow they go, especially counting out change. They have to take a half second between each change cup to mentally process it lol
Is there any large screen without smart tv bullshit?
>>219754862Thats annoying, but I'd wager the vast majority of people are using streaming services over physical media or traditional cable/satellite, so I don't really see it as a severe issue.
>>219755002sad
>>219754658>have not right to existsaar
>>219754658Walmart's fire, no cap.
>>219755002>Not having children so he can pretend to be a cowboyMaybe we need that large sun eruption.
>>219755002>seething incels malding in replieslmao
>>219754808Get something with Google TV or at least a Google TV box, Roku/firestick/Samsung software all sucks. You can install whatever you want on android tv the same as any other android device, including ad blockers. Also plex/jellyfin works best on android.
>>219754994America was never a white country. So I dunno what you're whining about
>>219755185>t.
>>219754658You’re on crack if you think a 65” tv for $300 is going to last a day past the factory warranty without dark edge spots, dead ports, and other serious problems.
>>219754808i hooked up a new roku for my dad the other day and you literally could not get past the initial startup without making an account and connecting to the internet
>>219754743>Nigga
>>219754658depends on where you live, if you have nonwhite teens who cant behave then yeah - theater experience is shit
TVs having ads built into their UI is so gay.
>>219755185>I have a wife that doesn't want to carry on my genesHe's literally on the same level as incels.
>>219755401you have to use sideloaded apps for tvs now enshitification is everywhere
>>219754658Lol that thing is useless there's no use case
>>219754658Does Walmart have signs like this in other states?They don't in mine -- but if they did:"Proud to serve LouisianiansLaissez les bon temps rouler"What would your state's byline be?
>>219755279woah just like in my greentexts
>>219754658>Like payphones and paying with cash.born to be a goycattle
Those brands are dogshit, if you want a quality tv you need to spend at least 800 dollars+
>>219755549sounds like someone isn't orgulloso de servir a los texanos
>>219754658this fr fr no capI literally see no advantages in still going to theaters apart from the "I want to watch this movie NOW and I can't wait for a couple months" argument.>can eat and drink whatever you want without getting ass raped in the concession stands>can pause anytime you want>no unruly assholes that can ruin your viewing experience>lots of content for dirt cheap or free
>>219754658Does it come with an hdmi?
>>219754658Those chinkshit TVs are slow as hell and break after 2 years. They can’t even run standard apps like Netflix and Disney+.
>>219754658No matter how big is your television, you can't compare with the experience of watching a movie on the cinema. I mean espectacular movies, movies that are just people talking you can watch it at home and it's the same.
>>219755002>ps5no kids and no games
>>219755002But she can't afford new pants so she has to resort to wearing his handme downs.
>>219754658That tiny ass tv can't compare with the theatre
After buying an 82 inch tv I can never go back, if I ever move and get a bigger living room I'll probably go even larger
Theatres are a bedbug paradise, so I'm never going again.
>>219755062>he thinks his shitty offspring counts as a legacy
>>219754658>and paying with cashThis is the only thing protecting us from Mastercard controlling what you can buy and selling your purchase history to the highest bidder.Honestly we should be going back to cash, or at least some convenient alternative like anonymous prepaid cards.We let payment processors get too powerful.
>>219755062>build a legacyIf you think having kids is building a legacy then you will never accomplish anything with your life.You'll spend your whole life just raising your kids. Pretending this is some kind of achievement while never actually doing anything to cement a real legacy.Then your kids will be just as useless as you, and when they die you will be forever forgotten. Even your grandkids will barely remember you.
>>219757953>>219758225incelcore posting
>>219754658Why are TVs so cheap now, but pretty much everything else is getting way more expensive?
>>219758424Because smart tvs are selling your viewing habits to advertisers.They want their tvs in as many hands as possible, so they can sell at a loss if they have to.Also manufacturing at scale of course.
>>219754658>55 inch samsung>hdmi cable>old lenovo laptop>wireless mouseI cannot be the only one who does this. Decade plus at this point, it is a flawless setup
>>219755002That's honestly pretty sad
>>219758365Calling people who think this way incels just simply isn't going to cut it anymore for your argument.
>>219759622i have an old non-smart 55 inch samsung that is going to be heavily mourned when it dies.
>>219754994That's just Texas, it's always been like that here.
>tfw getting a 77” OLED TV on the weekendWhat are some kinos
With the low prices of large TVs, good sound systems, and unlimited movies at your disposal IDK why anyone would bother good to theatres nowadays
>>219759622You are not alone.Though I don't know if I'd say it's flawless. There are some weird quirks I had to work through, like I have to turn the tv on before the computer or else it won't detect the connection. Mostly minor shit though.
>>219759959touched a nerve there I see
>>219754808samsung TVs will connect to open networks without asking
>>219758365If you have kids and you’re still addicted to this shithole, then it’s over for you, sorry. You won’t make for a good parent. Parenthood should be the primary exception to the "you’re here forever" meme. Get the fuck off 4chan.
this reddit post extending over here for discussionyou do realize bigger isnt better and that cheap 200 dollar tv is shit quality visuals , has ads in the ui and other garbage>>219760143>muh sizei have a 65 inch and prefer 55, 77 is stupid big and pointless. unless you have some mansion and your sitting position in a room away thats going to be shit experience>>219754894>walmart>quality tvs
>>219760143Miami Vice (2006)
>>219758424>Why are TVs so cheap nowThese android TVs are probably all made in China down to the last component. It wasn't that long ago that a Sony Trinitron was outrageously expensive, but made in Japan and designed to last for as long as possible. New TVs are basically disposable, in comparison.
>>219760581>If you have kids and you’re still addicted to this shithole, then it’s over for you, sorry.My son is nearly 11, but I didn't start coming here until after he was born when the IMDb forums got shutdown in early 2017. There was nowhere else to go, as far as I'm aware.
>>219761114Why would you ever come here as a replacement for the IMDb message boards? They can’t possibly be comparable to each other.
>>219760628>77 is stupid big and pointless. unless you have some mansion and your sitting position in a room away thats going to be shit experienceIt's be ideal if you have a suitable room, and you sit at the right distance. Of course it'd be too big in most rooms.
>>219755185Bro I have a wife and she lets me game for a while to calm downIt’s the same when I watch the kid and she can go read and chill for a while. I don’t know where the notion that “you can’t have fun with kids” comes from it’s literally the most happy I have been in my entire life knowing I have people who love me but also let me gives me my space if I need it, but I only ever need an hour or two and then after that I want to spend more time with them (usually)Y’all are just man children, it’s probably best you don’t reproduce anyway
>>219761034>Sony TrinitronParents had one, 20 some inches. Lasted for years and years. Good little tv.
>>219761138In some ways the IMDb forums were superior to here since threads would stay up for years/indefinitely. And every movie, actor, crew member, et cetera had their own dedicated forum. I remember starting a thread there and not getting a single reply until 3-years later.>>219761254I have the exact model in that picture, 27-inches, apparently it's from 1989. It still works perfectly, and I'm currently playing FFX on it for the first time on my PS2 and using the TVs dedicated RGB Scart input.
