I don't even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they're saying....hey do you want a worse experience?

Yeah, that's why I've come to just pay the premium for professional displays instead of consumer TVs.

That's a great way to go. There are also still some budget options (Sceptre comes to mind) that don't have any smart features in some models. My buddy just picked one up.

It's an absolutely terrible TV, but for his use case it's perfect. He's using it as a karaoke monitor for parties at his house. It's mounted in a covered patio and is dumb as hell.

Wonder how much an 83" OLED would cost me for a premium professional display.
