at this point i don't understand why people bother with TVs rather than just hooking up an actual normal computer to a big screen and just watching youtube or torrenting media

even the monitors are "smart" now. have you seen Samsung's latest computer monitors?

I even hate how Windows tries to determine which monitors are in use, so if I turn one off it sends everything to the other screen. Just literally be a dumb thing that displays output, please, don't try to think for me.

Because you can get much bigger for cheaper compared to a monitor.

Just don't eat avocado toast and cut down on your Starbucks so you can buy an expensive one

Or just ask your rich daddy for money, how hard can it be

Tbh was referring to devices generally. I don't go near televisions today. Too big, too expensive & way too much faff.
