Don't worry, like smart TVs, wifi connected devices will become cheaper than their alternatives soon

Do dumb TVs still exist at all?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Yes and they cost more!

You can get a 55" gaming monitor.

1700€

Fucking hell. Is the screen made of diamonds? It's 4x the price of a TV of the same size. What are they smoking?

Maybe the smart TV's are being subsidized by the money they make selling the data they collect from you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sure. But this doesn't account for the whole 1000€ difference in price.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Is it specifically advertised for gaming, with high refresh rate or something similiar?

[–] gornius 4 points 11 months ago

Mainly GTG response time and latency. For watching movies it's generally not a problem, but when it comes to playing games with a mouse, latency can be a huge issue, and bad GTG response time leads to smearing.

But yeah, 4x the price is ridiculous.

Yes, look for commercial tvs
