        As if I’m going to sit at a desk with a tiny-ass monitor when I could relax on the sofa with my cats and play some video games in surround sound.

            But that’s also a smart TV ridden with ads, a sluggish UI and a boot time slower than the average ad break, then ugh

              Don’t connect it to the internet. It ain’t that hard bud. I got a 5 year old LG CX and it’s still fast and snappy.

                Somewhat, but some will constantly complain that they’re not connected and/or you did not register them and link them to an account. You can set them up and then remove them from the network, but that won’t stop them from complaining. Combine that with sluggish UI (or a UI that’s only usable when you wait for the network timeout)

                  Mine doesn’t do that. All you have to do is not agree to the terms of service agreements. It will still allow you to update the tv and you get zero pop ups. At least this is how it works with LGs. Don’t spread misinformation like that because none of that is true for most high end smart TVs. A cheap Walmart TV probably does that.

              When did I mention reaction times? Maybe it says more about you than me if you can’t feel a difference between 60 and 120 fps

                  Do you mainly use a controller when playing games? If so I can understand how you wouldn’t notice due to controllers having less precise controls compared to kbm

                You can feel a difference between 120 fps and 60 fps visually but that doesn’t mean it has to do with reaction time.
