I found my myself sort of agreeing but sort of not. The last TV I bought was a nice, thin Samsung. I just hung it on my wall and was done. Sure, the "platform" is terrible but it works.
The thing that aggravates me are how "dumb" TVs are at handling HDMI inputs. Like, only cycle through the inputs that are receiving signal, for starters (or hit them first, at least).
- Asbostos 11y agoAbsolutely not! I can't stand TVs and projectors that try to be too smart with inputs. If you're the TV, you don't know that I'm about to plug my computer in and I've selected the input before connecting it. Otherwise I'll plug my computer in first and it's also trying to be too smart and can't see any TV connected so it doesn't set up the multimonitors properly. So no, they really shouldn't try to ignore unconnected HDMI inputs. I used to have an old style TV that ignored the RGB input it there was no audio signal with it. So to use it as a computer monitor, I had to plug in an extra audio cable for no good reason.
- pbreit 11y agoI specifically include the bit about "hit them first" so as not to imply ignoring. Here's my situation which I'm guessing is much more common than yours: I watch ABC in the morning and Apple TV in the evening. So, every single day, I have to press the input button 6 times in the morning and once in the evening. I would never, ever prioritize you're rare situation over my routine situation.
