Do dumb TVs still exist at all?

[-] MisterD@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

Yes and they cost more!

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You can get a 55" gaming monitor.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 9 points 9 months ago

1700€

Fucking hell. Is the screen made of diamonds? It's 4x the price of a TV of the same size. What are they smoking?

[-] rifugee@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Maybe the smart TV's are being subsidized by the money they make selling the data they collect from you?

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 4 points 9 months ago

Sure. But this doesn't account for the whole 1000€ difference in price.

[-] tryptaminev@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Is it specifically advertised for gaming, with high refresh rate or something similiar?

[-] gornius@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Mainly GTG response time and latency. For watching movies it's generally not a problem, but when it comes to playing games with a mouse, latency can be a huge issue, and bad GTG response time leads to smearing.

But yeah, 4x the price is ridiculous.

Yes, look for commercial tvs
