Samsung’s new 98-inch 8K TV is the projector-beating home theater upgrade I’ve been waiting for - Lemmy.world

> Like most of the other best Samsung TVs, the new 98-inch QN900C has Samsung’s Gaming Hub and Motion Xcelerator Pro. That delivers 4K at up to 120Hz, rising to 144Hz with compatible PCs. There’s also support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro as well as NVIDIA G-Sync like most of the best gaming TVs have.

I was saying to myself, “I wonder what kind of home equity loan or mortgage I’d need to be able to afford that!” Then I actually read the article and it’s only $6,999.00. Hold on while a shit a check for that amount. 😆

That’s the price of their previous model, and the article suggests that this one will be quite a bit more expensive. Definitely not a “projector beater” if you don’t have around ten grand burning a hole in your pocket.

Even if I had that kind of cash to part with, it certainly would not be on a TV. It’s be doing a major overhaul on my home computer lab.

I bought an Acer projector and a ceiling mounted pull down screen fifteen years ago for ~700€ and that gear is still going strong.

Why in the world would I want to spend ten times that?
