I'm not sure what amazes me more about this article. that idiot tech "journalist" and vergin editor nilay patel bought a $500 tv, that he did not know why you don't buy curved tvs, or that he didn't return it when he discovered his wife hated it. http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/1/30/14439362/samsung-curved-tv-review-un40k6250af-mistake quote:A few months ago I did something extremely out of character: I went out and bought a TV without obsessively reading product reviews. I just drove to Walmart and purchased the nicest-looking TV in stock for $500. It was a curved Samsung. This was an enormous mistake, and I should have just bought a Vizio E-Series. My wife Becky loudly reminds me of this mistake nearly every time we turn the TV on; she hates this product more than any other half-baked gadget I have forced into our lives. So I asked her to explain why, and she gave me this, which begins with what I can only describe as a vicious character assassination. — Nilay

Hammerite posted:whats wrong with a curved telly it's like a parabolic dish for concentrating reflections at your face. every light in the room is reflected at you and it magnifies motion so slight movements of your head create disproportionate motions of the reflections on the tv.

tech journalism is floundering now that "tech" is so mainstream that the audience is everyone.

Jerry Cotton posted:Do any of the good brands (Sony and no wait just Sony) make non-internet TVs anymore? I've got bad news for you, Sony isn't a good brand anymore. they use google tv and it's awful and also their scaling and smoothing software is lousy. also, no. there's basically two types of TVs. "dumb" tvs, which is a race to the bottom in costs, so everyone tries to make them as cheap as possible. "smart" tvs that actually have margins so they can put some engineering and good hardware into it. if you want a non-terrible tv you have to buy the smart one, even if you don't want any of those features.

never connect your tv to the internet. and never ever do a firmware update to it.

advertising is a blight. a product you pay for showing you advertising is unacceptable. if your tv shows ads in the volume indicator, return it.
