I know this gets posted about once a month in YVCPOS but is it possible to just get a goddamn screen with zero features without paying through the nose for 'digital signage' models?

I did this. $400 for a 40" 1080p
and the default setting is no features. u can do a few colour things but that's it

it's a mish mash brand the warehouse in nz makes from other manufacturers parts so the 39" might be totally different from the 40"
but I am very pleased with lack of bleeding at edge and viewing angle well it's like looking at a painting in that regard I'm very very pleased for $400

can't remember name

and then cry when their show gets canceled

"but it was sooo good? why did it have to go away???"

*torrents everything*

watching media is morally bankrupt so the sooner every TV and movie studio goes belly up the better off society will be

lol you guys still dont get it

if you aren't part of the revenue stream, why should anybody cater to you?

because they should count themselves fuckin lucky to be born into a world where they are allowed to make poo poo for us to watch, and not into a Jewish household in 1930s Germany

they should count themselves lucky that we choose to watch their poo poo. getting paid to do what they do is a cherry on top they should be grateful for but instead they treat it as is their god drat birth right to get paid to produce the fuckin trash that they do

they're fuckin garbage men picking up old dog food cans and sticking them to a Burger King wrapper and calling it "media" and then having the arrogance to expect people to pay them for it

I think a general awareness of the bullshit of capitalism and critical thinking regarding things too ushered on by the Internet has independently changed the landscape


but you can't avoid the effect of volume advertising. I mean when I see an ad for KFC all it does it flick that brain clit I've got associated with the first taste of it and I want KFC and it has little to do with the specific product KFC are advertising I just want fried chicken godfamn it and this works I know on me because seeing some KFC rubbish on the ground has this effect I am a worthless consumer someone wake me up when we can pirate food

pharmaceuticals is one of those things you should never look into because it's a never ending spiral of horror that will legit make you more depressed and upset the more you look at the development, marketing, and distribution of drugs

"Want to quit smoking!? Try Chantix!*"

*Chantix was originally developed as an mild anti-depressant for PTSD treatment, but unfortunately it caused a non-insignificant number of its patients to kill themselves. It was also discovered it helped some people quit smoking. So it was rebranded as a quit-smoking drug

you'll be right. that's what I tell people when they ask about side effects
