    It’s not going to be cheap, though — in the US, the 65-inch model is officially priced at $3,499.

      That’s a fuckin steal for the tech, if it wasn’t a smart tv.

      Maybe I’m showing my age but I remember 3k+ for a 60+” DLP TV with shit viewing angles and a bulb that needed replacing eventually.

      I’d happily pay that for a pc-gaming quality dumb panel the size of a traditional tv.

      But ima need 3 or 4 display port inputs.

      I also probably want full sized display port inputs over usb-c form

      Lol, such bs. When HDTVs were made ‘smart’, and then 3D, the only ones sold were 40"+ and £3,000+. Took about three years for that price to drop 90%. But this is garbage news, who still wants a television in this century? Pubs, community spaces and that’s about it. Monitors are significantly cheaper, with less bloat and software lock.

        who still wants a television in this century?

        This is so out-of-touch it’s unreal.

        —Someone who doesn’t still want a television in this century

        Well, I might not want a TV… all I really want is a 60"+ high quality, high refresh rate, 4k+ panel to game, work and watch media on…

        On wait; thats literally an HDTV minus the tuner.

        The only thing that makes it a TV IS the tuner… and honestly it’s not bad to have in an emergency or for local OTA stuff anyway. If I never use it then having it doesn’t matter.

        People who watch movies or tv series a lot and who care about image quality? Couch gamers? I couldn’t get a decent 65“ monitor. But my TV has a very good image, supports 2160p with 144Hz, VRR, HDR, etc.
        And at no point did my TV force me to go online. I can 100% just ignore the software. What more could I want?
