If you survive the lawsuit from Disney, I’m in. I’d prefer a much smaller tv (32-40”) but I’m weird like that. All I’d want is an input for an Apple TV and maybe 2 more hdmi plugs. Doesn’t even need a remote. Good luck.

  Did AppleTV output change or is it still HDMI?

    Still HDMI!

Wait, this Disney lawsuit thing is news to me. What's up with that? You're right, in the consumer market, there's a much higher demand for 32-40" display. Our UHD controller can easily handle that and comes with 5x total input ports [ 3x HDMI(V1.4a), 1x HDMI(V2.0), 1x DisplayPort(V1.2) ] and can run 3840x2160 or 4096x2160 resolutions @ 120Hz.

    As has been stated in the thread, Disney has explicitly called out television sets on their trademark application for the term 'Dumbo'.

    Whoever the TV maker is, do they have better lawyers than Disney? No? Better not to try then.

  - pupdogg 4y ago
    Aah, gotcha! Boy, I really overlooked that one. My primary goal was to come up with an easy to remember name/domain that expressed "DUMB TV" and dumbo.tv was available. Oh well, I'll have to rethink that part through a little more.
    - peterfarkas 4y ago
      Just don't change it to Dumbotron, however attractive it may sound :)

  >Wait, this Disney lawsuit thing is news to me. Disney owns a trademark on the name Dumbo https://trademarks.justia.com/779/79/dumbo-77979919.html https://trademarks.justia.com/779/79/dumbo-77979919.html as well as copyright on the movie Dumbo of course. I suppose they might think to argue that someone selling televisions with the name Dumbo would be trying to tie their product in with the Disney trademarked product. I don't think that would be considered too much of a stretch so I don't think you would do too well with continuing with that name.
- Buttons840 4y ago
  Dumbo is a Disney character, every bit as much of a character as Micky Mouse or others, just less popular. Of course, by the time Disney notices you you'll already have succeeded, but you may be forced to change brand. You can do it now or later.

  I hope to god the edid on your displays doesn't include 4096x2160 for 3840x2160-native panels the way LG TVs do; it's such a freaking nightmare to deal with any sort of gpu scaling or DSR resolution type options on my LG CX due to that
schappim 4y ago
Yeah Disney have the class 9 Trade Mark for Dumbo, and specifically call out: "television sets;"[1][2]. IMNAL, but change the name.

        Agreed. These usually come up when people use the LG oled TVs with pcs and get annoyingly reminded that they are not actual monitors. In particular it can be very difficult to turn these "optimizations" off.
