98 inch, 4k TV. Pair this up with a secondhand surround sound system, and you've got an amazing setup.

Plus, the snacks are free, and you can't bring your cat to the theatre.

You can pause when you want, rewind, turn on subtitles, and not have the volume too fucking loud by 3 orders of magnitide

Yep. Although, old audio equipment works just as well as the old stuff, and you can buy it for bugger all, so you absolutely can have it that loud if you want.

All for the price of 4 movie tickets.

The TV by itself is roughly 200 movie tickets worth, and that's just the ticket, no snacks, fuel, parking etc.

Actually amazing value when you look at it like that.

Last time we went to a movie theater (few years back) it was over $100 for 4 people + a shared popcorn and a few drinks. That was a matinee. Haven't been back. I'll dump that cash into TV upgrades, thanks.
