Kombucha 09/14/22 2:26:25 PM #7:	Just to answer this topic I don't think it's weird at all. I don't personally own a TV, but I do have a "smart monitor" that comes with a remote and runs smart TV apps. It's 32". I hardly ever use the TV functionality on it though. I think if I had more guests I would maybe want to invest in a proper TV just because it's traditionally the central focus of the living room. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:968030264] in Is it weir...

Ratchetrockon 09/14/22 2:27:43 PM #8:	yeah it is weird af. I'm computer person but I have it hooked to a television. I think this practice is becoming more common now that 4k oled 120 hz tvs exist and gpus are becoming more powerful and support the hdmi 2.1 --- I'm a Taurus I like collecting headphones and iems. My fave game of all time is DMC 3 SE on PC w/ style switch mod. IMO it the best button masher on earth <cite>Ratchetrockon posted [p:968030281] in Is it weir...

OpenlyGator 09/14/22 4:08:50 PM #15:	Unusual in the west, but I don't believe it's accurate to label as "weird". Mobile phones are not replacing TVs quite THAT fast, nor has it become a majority trend. And many consumers still prefer a large screen as ideal for home entertainment. Alternative electronics for media viewing have come out over the years, but none of them have really dethroned the TV as a staple appliance yet. Commercial innovation hasn't achieved that yet. --- The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice. http://tryimg.com/8/2017/06/28/IdSqD.png <cite>OpenlyGator posted [p:968032559] in Is it weir...

Nemu 09/14/22 4:13:03 PM #16:	Given the rise of smart phones and tablets, I can see TVs becoming more of a niche thing for some people, depending on their lifestyle.
