YouTube reports from CES have been coming thick and fast for the last 24 hours. #Caleb is like a brumby unleashed and Vincent from #HDTVTest (my fellow “nits whore”) are duelling it out with rapid fresh reports — maybe even blocking each other’s voices on the showroom floor — on the two new kinds of #RGB #MicroRGB and #MiniLED panels … fun times with LG or Samsung or both delivering parallel competing announcements between their respective retail arms and display-tech-manufacturing divisions. Good times. Meanwhile Engadget and Tom’s Guide are still there too. #CES Is the last survivor after Comdex, CeBIT and all the other shows got eaten by the internet.

We’re at another inflection point with #TV #screensizes — and yet again, commentators are sincerely claiming people can’t or don’t want the big sizes 🤦‍♂️

“most people are never going to be buying this”, you mean like:

65-75-85 inch in the 2020s

42-50-60 inch in the 2010s

28-32-36 inch in the 2000s

21-24-27 inch in the 1990s

14-21-26 inch in the 1980s

(tip: TV cabinet shelves were a mistake in history, an evolutionary dead-end)

(I am however a fan of the most expensive TVs of the mid-20th century that came embedded in their own elaborate wooden cabinets — that shut, ceremonially even — in fact, radio cabinets started that way … in a highly civilised method of invading your living room)
