The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K - Lemmy Today

Theres a ton of other things I want my TV to do before more pixels.

Actual functional software would be nice, better tracking on high speed shots (in particular sweeping landscapes or reticles in video games) higher frame rates and variable frame rate content, make the actual using of the tv, things like changing inputs or channels faster, oh man so much more.

Anything but more pixels.

Actual functional software would be nice

you do not want software on your TV.

I want software on my TV.

Steam Link specifically. I like streaming to my TV via Ethernet.

You can do that with a Raspberry Pi for <$100 and without the need to have Amazon/Google/Roku/whoever tf else collecting your data.

Who says I let Amazon/Google/Roku/whoeverTfElse collect my data?

I have my TV with Jellyfin isolated to its own network and allow inputs from LAN.

Cool. Who owns the OS on the TV or the app store where you downloaded JF and SL?

I didnt download Jellyfin or steamlink through an app store. I loaded the .apk onto a USB, plugged it in, and sideloaded it lol.

Any other 'gotcha’s?

Sounds like an unnecessary amount of extra work to avoid being spied on by the spyware TV that you bought. You do you, though bud.

an unnecessary amount of extra work

As opposed to buying, flashing, then installing a raspberry pi? Lol

Honestly? It’s not that far off, with a much better pay off. But like I said, you do you. You wanna die on the smartTV hill for whatever reason, go for it lmao

a much better pay off

Uh huh, how much does a raspberry pi cost again?

die on the smartTV for whatever reason

I gave you a reason, but you don’t seem to consider it valid. Stop being a cunt.

Yikes. That’s enough from you. Byeeee.
