Are manufacturers stuck in a questionable spec war, or are we one day going to wonder how we ever put up with ‘only’ 240Hz displays?

    Then don’t buy them? With better screens coming out the ones you do want to buy get cheaper.

    Back in the day 144hz screens cost a premium, now you can have them for cheap.

      I stopped buying tvs from 2000 until like two years ago, when i saw them on sale for like $200. Been living off of projectors & a home server. I skipped so many “innovations” like curve, flat, HD, 4K, trueColor.

      Weird that it has a OS and that was a shocker.

      I look forward to what TVs bring in 2040.

        I mean OLEDs are damn amazing image quality wise, but I’m also not a fan of “smart” TVs. The apps can be useful (like native Netflix, Amazon video and so on), but 90% of the time I use my PC over HDMI.

        You know what’s hot? 3D televisions!!

        I’m so glad that hype died out with people understanding it was stupid. Just thinking about all the ones who bought one.
