What’s my best bet if I just want a normal computer monitor hooked up to some sort of sound bar, and I’m happy using something like a Chromecast for all TV needs? Or are there monitors with good enough speakers now?
- bluGill 2y agoget a seperate usb to audio adaptor and speakers. you can do better than a soundbar.
- teh_infallible 2y agoI use a short throw projector with an Apple TV. There’s also a little device called Micca which you can use to play video files you’ve downloaded.
- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoIf you're shoveling your data over to Google anyway then why not just get a smart TV and never use its apps?
- thom 2y agoI’m not paranoid about Google, but smart TVs inevitably come with dreadfully slow boot times, clunky animated menus, and just generally lots of crap to work around, even if you primarily interact with them via HDMI. I miss TVs that respond before you take your finger off the button.
- magnetowasright 2y agoSoundbars are bad and there's better alternatives at soundbar price ranges imo. Spend the soundbar money on even a relatively humble set of logitech speakers for a really bare bones simple set up.
- thom 2y agoI’m not really married to that form factor. I guess I’m more curious about HDMI splitters or pass through and what people do there.
