Smart TVs have ruined gaming. The UI is absolute dogshit, and I can't even simply switch HDMI inputs without this whole useless setup process EVERY FUCKING TIME

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn what tv? I have 3 Vizio smart TVs (for which I have never setup the smart features) and switching inputs is as simple as hitting the input button on the remote or the back of the tv.

A Samsung (good lord). If you can believe it, HDMI inputs are treated as app icons, and there's no input switch button to speak of. They're APPS only visible if the TV feels like recognising a device.

I should have gotten a Bravia. The screen quality is marginally better here, but Jesus Christ.

I refuse to use a Samsung anything. I had one of their tablets years ago, it is what started driving me to Apple products.

My mom got a Samsung TV and I told her to return it if she expected my help with it.

I forgot a key factor. The Bravia's optical audio output sucks. I like to use headphones when playing Tetris Effect. I'm telling you, playing Tetris Effect with good headphones on this 65in OLED TV while high is an unmatchable experience. No sound issues here, so that's great.

Normally I’d say “um akshully terris effect on my index is better” but it honestly was kinda distracting in VR… giant TV with headphones or a realy nice sound system is definitely the best way to go.

I use a computer monitor for my playstation on the rare occasion I switch it on. Very much plug & play.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd genuinely prefer to do this, but they don't make 65in monitors.

Strains my eyes. Plus, this is a living room--couches, not desks.

Can't be helped, I suppose.
