>Welded by danish design principles.
Looked that little gem up: "Scandinavian design represents a design philosophy that's characterized by functionality, simplicity, and clean lines."
Functionality and simplicity... that's already what a weld is... it's extremely functional and simple, melted metal to join metal. Clean lines? As in a welder who can do their job? I mean... duh? Really feels like someone saying "atm machine" and trying to make it seem like they art holy than thou.
I really hope they don't understand what "iron" means. Because an iron back tv... god have mercy on your spine when carrying that shit. Tvs don't have to double as barricades in case of a shoot out with the cops at your house. Tvs don't have to be sturdy. They're not gym equipment. You put them somewhere and they stay there like a glass vase. You look at it, not fondle it. Now, if it was really a Scandinavian inspired device... made of viking axes that have tasted blood... or get enough of these and they snap together to make a long boat. That's Scandinavian. Not "simple and functional clean lines". Bauhaus pre-dates that and whatever the Japanese call their style of design pre-dates that even more. Chill, ya' ain't the first. Stop making up silly names to feel special about your snowflake selves.
No remote... that's the problem with newer tvs that it's "solving"... by making the same mistake? The fucking remotes are useless and do the "handy little mobile app" which is always trash. Tactile people. Tactile. Smooth surfaces suck when it comes to remotes.
One HDMI... and they feel high and mighty for it... fuck you and your Apple design principles. Along with anything else they stand for. I bet they'll release a tv stand that costs a grand as well.
Why? Why are people doing this? This is crazy. It's crap like this where I go "Don't fix global warming, let's burn more coal! Humans need to learn the hard way of their mistakes."
It's the morning and I already need a drink...
A true dumb tv: no boot time because all it does is take a signal and spit it out. 3 HDMI ports minimum. Blueray player, a streaming device and game console. A real fucking remote that fits in my hand comfortably and the buttons stick out of the plastic so I can feel them and never have to look down. Extra points if they make one with Cherry MX keys. That'd be cool. Don't know if it's practical, but I'd definitely give it a try. And the inputs have separate buttons. None of this cycling crap with just a single "input/source" key.
- m463 7y agoI have to say that lots of TVs are only ever hooked to one input. Also, having more than one input means you have to provide an interface to select between sources, which in my experience leads to "grandma, find the INPUT button" "..er the SOURCE button" "It must be somewhere on the back of the TV or on the remote"
- corodra 7y ago>I have to say that lots of TVs are only ever hooked to one input. I call bullshit on that. I know most people just use 2, but plenty use 3. You're using the same argument that Apple used to kill the headphone jack, that led to other phone manufacturers to follow suit. You don't have data on it and you're working within your own bias.
