  • The AI-driven memory shortage doesn’t just affect PCs
  • More capacity is coming, but not before 2027

    I just want a straight up monitor with no built in wifi or Bluetooth or even speakers.

    Just display the image I want it to when I want it to.

      I use old dumb tvs as monitors. They don’t have the best picture, but are better and cheaper than anything currently for sale.

      Literally this. Let me use my own fucking box and my own goddamn pc how I want with big monitor. Also put DP on it fuck HDMI. I don’t need trackers in my bloody tv OS. My tv has an OS!!! That’s ridiculous. Sorry this is one of those things I’ve always been super pissed about.

        For real, all my TVs are Sceptre. They are not easy to find, but they are incredibly reasonably priced and completely dumb perfection.

        If people like us make them popular enough, maybe they’ll realize this is a lucrative niche market.
