Roku’s Ultimatum: Surrender Jury Trial Rights or Lose Access to Your TVs

caleb@programming.dev to Technology@lemmy.world – 1491 points –

Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.

It doesn't matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.

Good luck finding a 65 inch computer monitor

I mean, thanks for the link but, if you actually try to find it on Amazon for example it doesn't exist. So that's not terribly helpful.

It's also three times the price of a 65 inch 4k TV.

No, the 65 inch 4K TV is three times cheaper because of the smart features. They sell the data they collect from you, and the ads.

The thing is 5 years old so that's hardly surprising. I just googled 65 inch monitor and this was the first hit.

Just checked Geizhals and apparently there's none currently, the largest is the HP Omen X, 64.5". Close enough though I'd say. There's 55 monitors 46" and higher but only 7 52" and higher.

At that size I'm obliged to ask if you don't want a projector instead.

Projectors are so easy. Currently watching Hulu on an 85" screen.

as a projector owner myself, i would not say “so easy”. they are a lot more work to set up, are more unsightly in living spaces, require light control, require more maintenance and cleaning, and even after all that the picture quality is still never going to approach a decent HDR panel. It’s only really worth it if you need/want a 100”+ picture, otherwise you’d be better off with an 85” TV.

Not to mention many of the high end projectors now have the same smart tv features built in
