Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

  • Yeah, it is pretty much a lost tech. CRT times are over. And "feature rich" sells better than "feature poor", therefore the smart hype.
  • It sounds that you actually not looking for a TV but need a computer monitor. Not a gaming monitor, but one for video editing or bureau purposes. (Need help to find one? Let me know, I can help on this.)
  • Idk about the sizes you want tho and what minimal features you need in terms of what you want to see/receive with it? Online streaming stuff or satellite broadcast TV, etc.
  • To make the monitor a TV you can use something like amazon's fire TV stick or a tuner settop box. Those mostly have just the plain old "dumb" overlay you probably know from VCRs and the like.
  • Sizes of those monitors are with 28" at the upper limit already, I think. 24 or 25" is more common.
