I don't remember when I watched the telly at home previously. Most of my entertainment are games and then some YouTube and movies not so often (lurking in friend's online streaming services or googling "watch x for free").
Stopped watching the television when too many ads erupted even between the movies that were my last interest in this service.
Most of my telly shows I see nowadays are at a friend's place, and I'm every time annoyed about the amount of ads.
Based on this dip, what do we think the industry will try to push on us to get us to upgrade? Are we see them start to push 8k content or 3D again or "smarter" tv's?
Yes. We never watch. The kids prefer the iPads .... Amazon fires, but don't tell them...
I have a TV for when I have time to play games on my PS3 or PS4 these days, but I watch the vast majority of my stuff on my computer. Unless I'm watching something that's available in 4K that I feel is worth it, why would I bother going to another room just to watch stuff that is streaming off my NAS and accessible on my computer anyway?
I feel like a lot of people just don't have much reason to turn on their TV to watch stuff unless they still have cable and want to watch live sports.
I don't know what your setup is, but since I work from home I found that I don't like to be in my office doing shit on my computer that much these days 😞
Just having a screen in another room is helpful to isolate my workday from my free time.
It kinda sucks, I enjoy tinkering with shit on my computer
Same. I'm barely in my office anymore since I started even just a hybrid work from home schedule. It's good to separate the work space from other spaces imo
I bought a tv like 8 years ago, the day the warranty went it got issues.
Some annoying bullshit (according to google) has to do with magnets and they are all visible now, it looks like shit but i really don't give a damn as i rarely care for what is on as long as it's making sound i don't need to hear the neighbours.
All i could think was: it still works, fuck this company i'm keeping it.
I hope.
