A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

    Next year, when our house construction is completed, I need to choose 2 new TVs, an 85 and a 65. At this point I’m looking for longevity more than all the marketing sticker BS being pushed now. I will probably go with a couple of Scepter non-smart TVs and just keep running my media from Jellyfin with a couple of NUCs attached to them, hehe.

      The closest thing to “Smart TVs” in our home are Blu-Ray players, and they’ve never been network connected.

      I like the ViewSonics we have, and we’ve had a series of NUCs over the years, but lately I’m finding that the N100/N150 fanless PCs like this are perfectly capable of HTPC duty: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWV439YW
