Hot Takes Discussion

[Nanako Island]

I don't understand people with TVs in their bedrooms. I just don't.

I wanna watch pokemon while lying in bed

why have only some screens while you could just contribute to your fullest to global warming by adding a necessary secondary screen that has no productive value? One laptop to do everything is just enough

Hot Take: The Texas GOP platform warrants the resurrection of William Tecumseh Sherman.

Phones exist; laptops exist.

But they have small screens. I wanna see pokemon on a 50" TV in my bedroom

Because...?

You'll still be seeing the same thing.

It's bigger, and cooler, and I want to feel like I'm in a move theater.

Fire cleanses everything.

Nuclear weapons do too, but I'd get Hague'd for that.

How about a more authentic compromise: a (mini-)projector?

I used it once in church for a bible study. No.

While we're talking about TVs, in my estimation a cheap consumer CRT for hotel use is still superior to a flatscreen produced in the last few years, because of how deep and rich the colors are and how lagfree it is. Same with CRT computer monitors, but a little less so in my experience than the TVs. E1M1 Quake on Ultra 64 (specifically that version, it has colored lighting) when you're in that river or Dinosaur Planet or Donkey Kong Country in general just looks stunning on a CRT and kinda bleh on a flat panel, but modern games look good on CRTs too.
Of course, I somehow feel like I've lost the war on that front, so may I suggest the laser phosphor display? It uses the same basic principle as a CRT, but with a laser instead of a cathode ray, and is 75% more efficient than a conventional flat panel.

They still use CRTs in hotels?

Don't think I've seen one in over a decade...

Alright then, a normal projector.

Is there a 4K Ultra HD projector?

violently carrying out the whims of the US federal government is the least edgy thing on the planet

[Free Ravensburg]

Alright then, a normal projector.

Is there a 4K Ultra HD projector?

No. Well, yes, but you wont like the prices

[Free Ravensburg]

Name the price.

2 grand was the cheapest

[Northern Seleucia]

Name the price.

2 grand was the cheapest

Oh, not that bad for my budget, but I mean...I can afford but is it really worth $2,000?

1.5 grand actually. No wait 800

Not commonly, I'm talking about the cheap ones hotels gave to thrift stores or were salvaged from them that you can sometimes find, like my 13" Orion set that's RF-only and mono. There are rest stops in Texas that use CRTs...

Again, affordable, but my T.V in my room was still cheaper. The one is our living room on the other hand...

[Hamidiye]

To each his own... my decade-old Eizo still does what it's supposed to do like a boss. Haven't owned a TV... hell, I have never owned one. Had a DBTV receiver antenna stick a few months, but TV is just shit.

Now that's a hot take

I expect controversy in 5…4…3…2…

Here's a hot take: the stuff looks all the same, quality-wise (from at least 480p onwards).

Huh, thrift stores... imagine those existing.

I personally prefer the angular-looking ones (like so).

To your hot take, I can notice the difference. Maybe because I'm used to the newer stuff, but I can tell 480p easily.
