I agree with all of this, except I'd say good riddance to the silver plastic. 😅
What shit ass displays are you using?
So just don’t use the built in software. I don’t have any of my TVs connected to the internet or use their built in OS. I have a couple of Apple TVs plugged in and run everything off that. Never even set the things up beyond plugging them in and switching to HDMI 1.
There’s also the Chromecast TV if you use Android.
If you use a separate smart tv device like those, then the only thing you need to care about on the TV itself is resolution, refresh, and number of ports. Or if you want to spend a chunk of change then you can look into things like OLED. But the separate devices make the TV OS irrelevant.
HDMI for the soundbar? Why aren't you connecting to it with an optical cable?
Because then you can use the ARC protocol to minimize the number of remotes. The TV will pass volume controls through the HDMI port and the sound bar will adjust volume.
Plus the reduction in magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance is a real game changer.
And that flap broke on every tv you had, so they all had the connectors exposed and hella ugly
My plastic flap is still intact. Probably because I only ever had it open since I couldnt be bothered to use the rear ports.
