Now everything is a black rectangle with bullshit software and almost two HDMI ports in the back, except one has the sound bar plugged into it, and the labels are stamped into the black plastic and not painted on, and with the shadows behind the television you can't read them. And it doesn't work when plugged in anyway. Its easier to just not have friends so that you never have to plug other electronics in. Stare at your phones alone.
I agree with all of this, except I'd say good riddance to the silver plastic. 😅
What shit ass displays are you using?
So just don’t use the built in software. I don’t have any of my TVs connected to the internet or use their built in OS. I have a couple of Apple TVs plugged in and run everything off that. Never even set the things up beyond plugging them in and switching to HDMI 1.
There’s also the Chromecast TV if you use Android.
If you use a separate smart tv device like those, then the only thing you need to care about on the TV itself is resolution, refresh, and number of ports. Or if you want to spend a chunk of change then you can look into things like OLED. But the separate devices make the TV OS irrelevant.
My personal TV is a Samsung commercial display unit; it isn't Roku or Tizen or whatever else. It's still very much a computer though, it still has a network port and keeps pestering about connecting to the internet and registering it and all that shit.
I drive it with a Raspberry Pi running Kodi.
HDMI for the soundbar? Why aren't you connecting to it with an optical cable?
Because then you can use the ARC protocol to minimize the number of remotes. The TV will pass volume controls through the HDMI port and the sound bar will adjust volume.
Plus the reduction in magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance is a real game changer.
Reduces planametric replaneration and effectively eliminates side fumbling of the marzle vanes.
