People Who Buy Big 4K TVs and Watch Without Your Contacts or Glasses On. Why? - Lemmy.world

I have 20/20 vision.
I don’t have any contacts or glasses
Is this even a thing for people who need glasses?
I can’t read some programme descriptions on streaming services from my sofa without glasses
Yes, me.
Huh interesting… Why?
It’s big enough that I see everything important even without them, although a little blurry. And it’s nice to be without glasses from time to time.
I need glasses but rarely wear them when watching TV unless there are subtitles or I am playing a game that I need to pay attention in. Our TV is just at the limits of my vision so I can work a little bit to make out details and I am usually just too lazy to put them on unless they are right there.
Well, precisely because I can watch something without glasses. It’s big enough that I see all the important details without them. And it’s 4K because they don’t make big TVs in a different resolution nowadays.
The big TV is your glasses.
I got LASIK and don’t need my contacts anymore
I’m thinking the majority of people who need glasses and watch TV without them are probably far-sighted.
That’s not what far sighted means. It has nothing to do with what you can see at a given distance. Far sighted and near sighted refers to where the light focuses in the eye relative to the cornea.
I’m guessing this is what happens when someone deletes their comment, but my brain keeps arguing that just yelling “DELETED!” at people is a thing now and I keep trying to figure out what it means.
Yeah, it being in all caps threw me for a loop.
Difficult to find a big TV that isn’t 4k these days.

When I was a young boy with sharp eyesight we had pixels the size of bricks.

Now I’m old, my eyesight is all ****ed and we have 8K TVs with super small “quantum dots” with out-of-this world HDR.

If God exists, he is one sick ****er.

Listen here, you little…

Because a bigger things are easier to see without glasses?
Go into a store and buy a 43” or larger TV and find literally any good looking model that isn’t 4K
