  • Well what about a PC monitor? You can get u to like 43" and beyond. Obviously they are great for gaming as well.

    The other very impractical mention - after TVs starting adding ads, cameras and microphones, I switched to a 2nd hand projector. Most have no smart features.

    All you need is a white or off- white wall to protect on to. And the ability to block some light coming into the room.

    Downsides:

    • They can be bulky and noisy. Particularly the 4k ones
    • might need separate speakers
    • Not as low latency as a tv but models do come with VRR
    • bulbs do get darker from prolonged use (and aren’t always cheap to replace)
    • you might need separate speakers
    • and there are the trailing cables
    • And you’ll never get the inky blacks of oleds. But for picture size and immersion for the cost, they are basically unbeatable.

    Some can project from a coffee table.

    For tv series and YouTube like content, I use a laptop. Then for big movies, I use the projector and 5.1 sound system (mostly 2nd hand as well.)
